    Macauley Bonne - I think that we were supposed to be in for him when he signed for QPR from Charlton; ten goals in fourteen games for a poor Ipswich team.
    Ross Stewart - nine goals from fifteen games, but I don't think that little Lee would play ball with us
    Luke Armstrong - looking good with Harrogate.

    All (maybe except Stewart) affordable and okay age-wise and we need goals. On the other hand, we could bring back George Miller (7 from 9), or Patrick Schmidt. Both would give us a chance of something more than more 'nils.'

    I've just checked and Macauley Bonne is on loan only from QPR, so a January bid might be value for money, especially if players like Frieser, Miller etc are on their way. Good finisher.

    Very little, but that's more than most of our current strikers

    Doing “a job” isn’t the problem. Cauley could do a job, the tea lady’s one. What we need is a striker who can score a goal.

    Ipswich will pay more than us in both wages and transfer fee. This lot are spending nothing, get used to that fact. Think Bonne himself would choose Ipswich too.

    Everyone's great when there not playing or loaned out. I cant see Miller or schmidt scoring many in this team we don't create many chances. I think our biggest mistake was loaning out kane.

    We're not Swashbuckeling enough to benefit a decent striker at this level. Macken and Gray scratched around as did Bogdanovic and Bradshaw. The only striker and Style to score goals regularly was Hourihane and Winnall. Someone who knows what they're doing with the round blow up thing and someone who lives to stick it in no matter what.

    We played like 11 lads who had never met before just turned up on a football pitch and had a kick around, no idea from players or staff not sure we know how to put attacks together and this shows with the last goal from open play been 8 games ago. Never seen a more disorganised side so any striker would struggle to score at the minute.

    When you strikers so deep on Wednesday night and instead of looking for outfield players at 1 down he is hitting 35 yard pass backs to Collins you know your not going to score many

    There are probably survivors of the miners strike who could do a job!

    Doesn’t matter in the main who we want. Anyone who realistically is good enough for us will have better offers from elsewhere, possibly from the league below.

    This isn’t a dig at the owners for not putting money in. It would be the same situation with 99.9% of people who want to own Barnsley.

    I’m not being defeatist, but people need to realise that teams like Millwall, Ipswich, Charlton, Coventry, Wigan, Sunderland and Preston are a much better prospect than Barnsley, and have been since about 2001.

    Right now I’d probably add Plymouth, Oxford and even Rotherham to that list. All playing well and in contention for promotion from L1.
    Given our owners reluctance to invest in the club and our perilous league position I imagine wages on offer to anyone signing in January could well be lower than any being offered by most clubs in the top half of L1.

    We've paid a fee for pretty much every player we've signed under the current ownership. So to say they aren't going to spend anything is just not true.

    FFP.
    When owners are allowed to loose millions and stay within the rules but unfortunately little Barnsley live with our means.
    I’m pretty sure our budget would be comparable if all the teams had to loose less that £2m a season not a average of £13m

    It’s the wages that are the real stumbling block.
