I can’t wait for the January transfer window to open

..... as they say, "you really couldn't make it up" could you?! Confused

Our top striker target is Daryl Dike and we are in talks and the funds are available quotes Percy loan to permanentl,with Woodrow as back up.
As for those figures quoted for Woodrow remember that there new manager has changed the system which doesn’t suit Woodrow he was terrific under Ismael alongside Dike last season also he has no one to create chances for him now at Barnsley.

If Ismael rates Dike so highly, I'd love to know why he left him out of the starting line up for Barnsley's 2nd leg of the playoffs last season.

Barnsley needed to win that game, being 1 down from the first leg.

Surely he would be the first name on the team sheet if the manager rated him so highly...

And with that in mind, these links scream of our entire scouting network being players Ismael has worked with in the past.

Glass half full scenario is that he's an upgrade on Hugill at least Laugh

Maybe that’s how VI will sell it to the Board: “Well, he’s crap but not quite as crap as Hugill”. Fabulous Wink

I'd be an upgrade on Hugill and I have not even owned a pair of boots for over 40 years. Big Grin

I can’t contain myself!

Think that’s more something to do with age though.
