Is it either / or?

We can sign either a kid with promise or a proven striker. Nobody else. Seems unlikely but I know nothing about football so maybe you're right.

I’d rather we do what we are trying to do than be Huddersfield signing Rhodes no doubt on ridiculous money on a three year deal with no chance of selling on at a profit.

There's a balance to be found, much rather pick up a top prospect from league one. Then an aging pro or a kid from the arse end of nowhere.

The A League is on BT Sport now. I've watched a few games and the standard is pretty mixed although the games are usually pretty entertaining. A few very good players (mainly older players who've had careers at a decent level in Europe) mixed in with League 2 quality I'd say. No reason there wouldn't be some gems there for us.

Sounds about right, watched a few games while out there and the a league is pritty poor and compares with a midtable league 2 side, with the odd standout player who tends to be older, who's enjoying the last few years off his career in the sun.

He's got decent pedigree. He's scored a load for New Zealand at international. I'd imagine if we were linked to Dike before Barnsley signed him, a lot of people on this forum would have written him off due to previous international signings. They'd rather we sign Collins or Gnanduillet.

Pedigree ? 15 in 38 isn’t “a load of goals” either

8 in 5 at “international level” yeah for their under 23’s

I've particularly enjoyed watching Alessandro Diamanti play. What a player.

You wanted us to sign Gnanduillet as first choice you clown, and since then hes got 5 goals in 13 games in the Scottish Championship

Also he has 10 in 8 at international, not 15 in 38.

Tbf he scored 4 of those goals against the footballing giants of Samoa, population roughly half of Coventry. Then 2 more against American Samoa, population less then Nuneaton.

5 games at Under 23’s level doesn’t mean he’s from good pedigree a player like sheaf can be classed as having gold pedigree coming from 2 academy’s in West Ham & Arsenal,Pask etc these have come from good pedigree,anyway seems he’s turned us down

Exactly this.

I just started a new thread on partnerships/networking before I'd seen this but this is absolutely what a lot of clubs will be looking to do now.
The Dike deal was an inspired coup by Barnsley, he literally only qualified for a work permit earlier that same day by representing the USA NT.

On the player himself, I don't know masses about Waine but not overly surprised that he's the kind of player we'd look at. 19 years old, pacey, good finisher & can play wide too. Similar style of player to Callum Lang at Wigan who we've also been linked with.

I've banged this drum a few times already in the past couple months, but I'd love for us to go for Liam Delap on loan from City. He's the perfect fit for what we need and young. Think he'd do a great job, although I'm sure theres many clubs interested.

Would be great but I think he'll end up someone in the PL on loan.

Think he's quoted as being homesick and wanting to return to Portugal.
