    Not like we don’t have form for this kind of signing is it? If we see him before October is out it’ll be a bonus.

    He's here for 3 years not 3 weeks.I'd rather he got up to speed than thrown in to be tore apart from our knowledgeable supporters.

    Agree with that. If he played too soon and turned into a Frimpong Mk 2 he'd be destroyed in no time by our ever-patient crowd. Easy does it, feed him into the system as and when ready.

    Some probably said same with Oulare and Iseka though. Can’t blame some cynicism coming through after what fans have seen before.

    But every single club in the country signs flops. On a regular basis. I agree that the two Belgians were a scandalous waste of resources by Conway. I could, however, go back through fifty odd years of Barnsley history and cite players that never worked out. Why do we have to have this constant narrative that only Barnsley and, in particular the current system, are at fault.
    I'll leave you with Phil Gridelet.

    Brazilian forgot his name and a Peruvian.

    Just a small example of how to make mistakes in the recruiting process. It balances out though. Often players come in with no expectation of being worth a shirt and end up as crowd pleasers. Nature of the game.

    A pair of football boots, maybe?

    Too early to comment on the new signing, but the gaffer suggests he offers something different in midfield. Let's see. We need a ball carrier.

    Not ready to play due to fitness and/or visa issues?

    I'm looking forward to seeing him play, and certainly something we've been missing, though Connell filled that role pretty well last Friday.
