Wonder if we will try get Alex Mowatt in early. Manager wants him, but guess we would need to sell before trying. He would be a creative player from midfield. Great passer of the ball.

 No danger will we be signing Mowatt.

 

He will be on a fair wedge of cash.

As I said about a month ago there had been talks, and Stendel wants him here, interest from championship clubs and league 1 clubs. 

he also has a 1 year club option on his contract but Barnsley haven't activated that yet 👍🇱🇻

Ok, cheers.

High wages plus we have Irving who is a similar style of player. Much rather invest game time into Irving

I’m particularly liking the music in the first video. It’s like an intro credits to an 80’s sitcom called ‘Thiam and Thiam Again’...

Gordon quite simply is a far better keeper than any of the jugglers ever will be

 

However at 37 you have to believe Stendel will be rightly looking elsewhere. 

 

His assistant is an expert ffs, Levein gave the position scant respect. 

 

To be fair Alexander was solid and Mclaughlin was a great signing we tried to make permanent but money talked. Also beaten to both Gilks and McGregor at the last minute by Rangers' wads of cash, although not sure how much of a loss Gilks was. This season we ended up with 3 goalies, none of which inspire massive amounts of confidence, but he certainly can't be faulted for trying to find the best keeper and signing other ones when the first choice didn't look up to scratch. Perreira definley fits the bill most closely of a sweeper keeper Stendel wants. Hopefully a keeper is now a priority.

Striker is the priority, but from what I've been told Stendel is still after a creative wide player👍🇱🇻.

 

Thiam can play wide left, wide right, attacking midfield, or striker. 

👍 Cheers

Bobby is capable of incredible reaction saves.. however he is also capable of not knowing where he is in his goals.

 

the goal Marvin the abuser scores at tynecastle May have been one of the worst bits of keeping I’ve ever seen in my life 🤦‍♂️ Though hibs opener in the derby was up there as well 🤦‍♂️

He is but his decision making is horrendous. Gordon is much the same to a lesser extent.

Traditional keepers should and will go the way of the dodo unfortunately for them.

Would be very surprised if Stendel signed Gordon. I was watching Pereira on Sunday and my impression was that his confidence has improved (1st half header!) and he just seems to be that 5-10% better. Maybe that’s also down to Stendel sorting out the back four. Can’t see Gordon returning if he’s not guaranteed a start. 

Your first sentence is the rub here.

One of our Barnsley posters was saying that about the option. We would be a great place for him to win a Scotland place and play in big games like Sunday's though, surely he isn't out of reach financially.

From earlier today St Johnstone sign McCart

 

St Johnstone have completed the early signing of Inverness Caledonian Thistle defender Jamie McCart on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

McCart, a former Celtic youth player, had already agreed a pre-contract to move to the Perth club in the summer.

The 22-year-old has made 62 appearances in 18 months with Inverness in the Championship.

Subject to clearance, he will be available to face Celtic in the Premiership on Wednesday.

He becomes St Johnstone's first signing of the January window, having lost Matty Kennedy to Aberdeen and loaned Ross Callachan to Dundee.

Thiam should be in the Barnsley squad this season. New bloke completely frozen him out. His replacement (schmidt) is absolutely hopeless. Thiam is not an out and out striker, he’ll play the role to the left of main striker and he cuts in and hits absolute rockets.

 

He is a really shy young kid. Moved to England and really tried to fit in. Lives in Town when most choose Leeds or Sheffield. He is an arm around the shoulder player. I think he would be an upgrade on the two lads you had left and right of Boyce. Don’t read too much into his goal scoring first season. We were a sinking ship and he spent a lot of time on the wing. If he hits a streak and add goals he’ll be a hell of a player. He has the talent. And at the very least he’s a cracking impact sub to bring on for the last half hour.

Specialised position , feel I need to state obvious , hard to fill .

We did well and aimed high but couldn't , as you say , compete financially .

Unfortunately don't appear to have some one ready to step up like Gordon did

I wouldn't say no to Thiam but I hope we're going for a CM as well. Other than Irving, we've only got DMs and water carrier type players in there.

Really wanted him to hit a bit of form but he’s not had a run this year. Think a move is best for him and he would jump at chance to work for DS again. As would Cavare but by looks of Sunday, Clare is a similar player, and looked marginally better in terms of effort getting back to position. But Cavare is a monster, and him and DS had a love/hate type relationship! He would drive Stendel mad jogging back, then beat 3 players and set up a goal. 


the one I really don’t see is Mowatt. He’ll be valued around £5m and Struber rates him. Plus it could be the final straw for the fan base after having Pinnock, Lindsey and Moore sold from under DS.

the pictures are fecking daft. Bloke had his arms under his training top. Plus if you judge Barnsley players by some of the daft kids on twitter etc you’ll be slightly misled. Struber has absolutely wrecked certain players confidence - he came in and stamped his authority. He ostracised Wilks, Cavare, Thiam, Pinnilos, Sibbick. I would have each and every one of them in our squad. Only one with an attitude is Wilks, who is starting for Hull tonight.

If sibbick is anything to go by, that’s some player with a lot of potential if Sunday was anything to go by

There has been talks 👍, we originally wanted him on a pre contract, but then enquired about taking him on loan with Jordan Green. 

 

I mentioned a while ago that we had the loan offer for Green accepted, only for Barnsley to accept Newports as well and then later reject our offer. 

 

We've been in talks with 4-5 players from Barnsley over pre contracts, Stendel and the club are very much preparing for next season and the future, we have been in talks with other league 1 players over pre contracts and championship teams players too. 

 

I said to everyone that would listen the post I quoted to Notts and wrote back to him about 2 weeks ago, the standard of player we are talking to and in talks with is nothing short of incredible, even sitting bottom of the league players still find us attractive. 

 

The reason why players find us attractive is because we have Daniel Stendel, he has boosted our club reputation and better players are now interested in coming to our club. 

 

Still trying to get Herrmann from Wolfsburg, but they are reluctant to let him go, Back up options in place incase we can't get him👍🇱🇻

Great info mate, I believe Stendel is a big reason for players interested in coming to us too. No other team has attempted the style we are changing to and will want to be a part of it all

Boyce wanted number 9 his number for Northern Ireland, but unfortunately Washington has that, his second request was number 27, the number he wore at Burton unfortunately Lewis Moore has that 😂😂, so he ended up with number 29👍🇱🇻
