COREY ADDAI JOINS THE REDS Club News Barnsley Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Corey Addai. Continue reading on the official site...
Why the chuff is he holding the normal home kit up? Surely there was a keeper shirt knocking around? I did assume they’d replace Greatorex after releasing him
Why? We’ve released both Radlinger and Greatorex this summer. Him coming in still means we’ve less professional goalkeepers at the club than last season. Henry Kendrick is on a professional contract but I doubt the two lads in the u18s are. Let’s be honest, the first team is well looked after by Walton and Collins but a little injury to one and a suspension to the other at the same time isn’t beyond all possibility. At that point Kendrick or Addai would have to step up to play - and even if only one is out, one would have to be on the bench. Three goalkeepers played in the first team last season.
Looks like a decent third choice / youth goalkeeper, and at his age he might even grow into the first team proper eventually. Welcome aboard Corey!
Well, he’s 6’7”, so: “Corey, Addai, his head’s in the sky oh Corey, Addai, his head’s in the sky” maybe? Not a reference for our younger (or probably older) posters though !!!
Had to google this as I'd never heard of it and the lyrics are: Ey ey ba day ba wadladie day Ay um ba day Ba day ba wadladie day Ey ey ba day ba wadladie day Ay um ba da- ay um ba da-da-da-da wadladie day! Ey ey ba day ba wadladie day Ay um ba day Ba day ba wadladie day Ey ey ba day ba wadladie day Ay um ba da- ay um ba da-da-da-da wadladie day one! Ey ba day ba wadladie day one! Ey ba day ba wadladie day Eh?
I had no idea it was that song. Brilliant. I hope he makes the first team now purely so we can bounce around to this.
Would have expected someone from the lower age category to step up personally. They must obviously rate this lad so they signed him however. I was actually surprised at Greatorex been released.
