ciderbeans Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Signed for Barnsley on a three year deal fr £250,000. Have we missed a trick here? Still only 20 having been trained for two years at Germany's biggest club, he can only have improved. A right steal I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Have we missed a trick ? Barnsley are in the championship..... And they've been there for some time as well. Why the hell would he come here if championship clubs are in for him ? I have to agree. Good promising young player yes, but sorry ciderbeans we haven't missed out at all. Barnlsey are a championship side, what gives us the right to think we have a god given right to sign these type of players when he has gone to a team in a higher league than us?

Not to mention Barnsley is closer to Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 This, with bells on. Not to mention Barnsley is closer to Liverpool. I still think people don't quite realise where we are as a club or what our current situation is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 A Striker that scored one in 36 in the German forth division? Not sure I'm too worried. We've got Ryan Taylor filling that sort of role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I appreciate what all are saying, it's just mad to see a player of that potential quality signed for a meagre £250,000 of which I'm sure we could afford along with wages. Alas, we are in league 1 which to many is not as attractive. That is however the only thing that goes against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, we are in league 1 which to many is not as attractive. That is however the only thing that goes against us We may well be able to afford it but we can't keep throwing money at it, as has been said time and again. That type of mentality in the past has contributed to where we are now. If it's not a priority then it ain't going to happen fella. I love your enthusiasm mate I really do, but we won't see money thrown around as much anymore. Don't let the Flint signing fool you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 None of us know how he'll do, he done well in League One (I think they were League One at the time) when he was 17/18. I think he'll be a good signing for them personally but we've seen so many of these kids just fall away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be a good signing for them personally but we've seen so many of these kids just fall away. This is what I thought. It may well appear a good signing but as you say we can't be sure. I think he's a good player and will do well but £250k for a club like Barnsley is a bit of a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 He's now a championship player he'll get far more media coverage and if he is a special player then you only have to look at vaz te in regards to what platform joining Barnsley gives you.
