Maybe a chance for him to go out on loan, maybe to a 2nd division club to gain experience, with Dunkley here. Link to post Share on other sites

Iorfa, Borner, Moses, Harris, Loungo, Dunkley, Fisayo all for a combined fee of about 1.5 million. Plus the use of the loan market. It's a change of circumstances rather than a change of thinking. While we were within our permitted losses, we could spend; now we've breached them, we can't. Link to post Share on other sites

Only Chansiri can really tell us that. Regardless, the signs are promising imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect, and a million miles from the stale squad we had before it with massive wages, complacency and attitude problems Good to see a proper real fresh new start on and off the pitch and if this is a sign of things to come I can see things working out well for us! I've never liked footballers wearing gloves, but wearing rubber ones is taking it too far. Link to post Share on other sites

matthefish2002 11,782 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I wouldn't go as far as saying these are exciting times but the players we have signed and have been linked with are solid Championship players. Back set up is a lot more solid then last season too. Not expecting fireworks when season starts but might not be a dead duck of season I feared. Link to post Share on other sites

Hamakua Pueo 91 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Yeah, Barnsley went the cheap, young, hungry and fit route last year. See how well it paid off for them. With a lucky break or too on points deductions and squad decimation for other clubs, it may be possible to avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites
