    So we spent money then decided he’s not what we need and need to spend some more money. Great logic. And let’s not forget we let a contracted player go that we didn’t need to and haven’t yet replaced.

    Wasn’t Dallas a free transfer?

    Correct he was but even still it doesn’t make a lot of sense. We are still going to have to replace a signing we made with another signing.

    Signing free potential, giving them a chance to impress, and then sending them out on a development loan doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me. He might well never make the first team again, but we haven’t lost owt.

    Hmm. Not so sure sounds like we have said one thing when the club means another tbh.

    Khaled El-Ahmad, Barnsley FC Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased to be able to bring Andrew to Oakwell after beating off competition from several other clubs in the EFL.

    “We look forward to seeing him begin working with the coaching staff and we wish him the best of luck during his time at Oakwell.”

    The Glaswegian is over the moon to be here at Oakwell, telling us: "I'm buzzing to finally be in the door and to get to work straight away.

    "I have no doubt Barnsley is the right place to be, it's an exciting time to be joining this massive club.

    That then moves him out on loan 39 days later.

    You’d rather he sat on the bench for the season?

    Absolutely no issue with gambles like him, the issue is when these gambles are signed as first team key players, and that is what he was signed as.

    If he was signed along with a proven striker then no problem.

    The stupid tweet that the media team put out after our first game really pi$$es me off still, just clueless and out of touch with the fanbase, along with all the top brass.

    Is this any different to what Luton have done with McAtee? Buy him from lower down and loan him out? Both 24 years old.

    I thought Aitchison was a decent player.
