Not usually one for playing the victim, but just seen somewhere else that the Drinkwater to Chelsea deal was completed at 4am, but was still OK'd... "Big club bias???"
Oli's tweets about the matter: Oli McBurnie @oli_mcburnie 28m28 minutes ago Can't believe it Oli McBurnie @oli_mcburnie 9m9 minutes ago Didn't think I was that bad in training today Oli McBurnie @oli_mcburnie 3m3 minutes ago I haven't got a clue what's happened but it is what it is. Back to swansea now to crack on and do everything I can to help them this season!
That was 1. Available 2. Affordable 3. Wanted to join us. 4. That Hecky wanted. 5. Who improved the squad? No if you just wanted anybody then yeah sure. I'm just saying we don't know that other targets weren't pursued do we?
So the EFL have denied a young lad of regular football because of an admin error thus stalling his progress. Well ..Well done them , bureaucratic toss pots. Not everything in life can be perfect .
I got some moaners at the time - but I did ask why this transfer news had been delayed 90 minutes after Swansea had told Sky News that they had finished their business for the day. This news is an absolute disaster for Barnsley. He could have easily made the difference between us doing well - to us actually struggling.
The FA are a bunch of abhorrent, disgusting, jobsworth tossmongers and I hope whoever had the final say on that (and the Leicester one, 14 seconds ffs) is maimed in a freak yachting accident. Oh and Swansea can do one as well, the tinpot sheep nonces.
So what you're saying is if we didn't have the strikers we have already, we'd be in a worse position True. But if we didn't have any players in any position we'd be in a worse position. It's a fairly obvious thing to say
We identified McBurnie early doors and had a deal in place but still went out and signed Ugbo and Thiam regardless. I'm saying that it's a good job that we did, despite the Club clearly believing that the McBurnie deal was inevitable.
I have it on good authority that Barnsley invested heavily on a new fax machine for deadline day, however this relied upon documents being fed face up rather than face down, therefore all the FA received was a blank piece of paper with a phone number printed at the top.
absolutely true.... he will certainly have little prospect for first team football .Swansea have got Bony and Sanches in, young Ollie has no chance. Added to that I think he was wanting here to get first team football in order to enhance his chances with the Scottish first team. Swansea and the FA need horse whipping. I know you are joking, but to me it seems as if the whole blame rests squarely at the Swansea end.
I hope that's a joke !!! Because if it isn't someone at the club would be at the Job Centre tomorrow.
is there no means of appeal aginst this total nonsense, surely the FA can see that a young lad's future and development is being badly affected here.... and looking on various sites it seems McBurnie is not the only one suffering from the rigidity of the dinosaurs at the FA
They're dying out, but still going strong in our procurement department, some suppliers just refuse to embrace 1990's technology
