Styles has proven to be an effective championship player. Kitching not been great but be was fantastic last season. I think Robins etc. have extensively more knowledge on what both would bring to the squad than you do

It is nice to see the city fan judging a player after 1 game is not exclusively for new city signings

I'm sure Robins has scouted them over a longer period than 1 game...

Oh im sure he has and im sure he likes some aspects of them both. He will decide, but my opinion 3 mill and 2 mill is a lot of money to spend on what i see we already have better within the current squad.

Wonder if Kitching realises he's now going to be shit in the eyes of our fans for months after he signs just because he had one bad game for Barnsley before signing

Totally agree , I would rather we spend £5mil on 1 decent player than 2 in and out average players

Was going to say, he's broken a record. First player to be written off before he's even signed.

We only have 1 left footed centre half and he's a loan , it needs addressing , Robins clearly sees kitching as a progressive ball playing centre half with good defensive attributes too

Nah, Sheaf got written off before he signed for *checks notes* taking too long to sign after first being rumoured.

Don't matter really when you have a stinker though poor lad , not a great time for him to be pulling that performance, but I doubt Robins will be deterred

Kiching not really selling himself tonight. Styles playing OK but hasn't done anything of note. Wouldnt see either of them starting for us based on tonight's showing, but wouldn't be adverse to them in our sqaud. Don't think kitching is worth the 3mil plus barnsley seemingly want. 2mil for styles I think would be worth the punt.

Ok as squad players on what I seen tonight. If we really want to progress it’s quality not quantity.

Again im not saying he doesn't,i just have an opinion on seeing him and thinking he looks miles away from starting LCB. He may be a very good player in time but we need balance and depth now, not next season.

Agree but given the significant money being talked about for kitching and the excellent work MR has done with a couple of million in last few years, if we're going to be investing millions we need to be really sure (as we can be) that a player will have a re sale value.

All players have bad games

I've watched all of this game tonight and there was an obvious lack of communication between Kitching and the rest of the defence and in fact the rest of the team. At times it looked as though it was deliberate to me. I wouldn't read much into this performance. As far as I can see he looks like a player who really doesn't want to be at Barnsley as he's close to going elsewhere. Sign him up
However not convinced by Styles but trust MR implicitly if he is signed

Good job some of these didn't scout hamer and vik so early in their city careers. Both would have been dismissed as being shit and not worth the money

God this thread sums up some on here . A young lad who’s obviously had his head turned has a mare and suddenly he’s not good enough , same player who was rated better than Thomas last season and is club captain at a young age ?
Would definetly trust Robins judgement on the player
Styles is a useful addition too
