But he's the understudy and the other one has gone on loan.

They do sound like they have an unpredictable owner though. Most think its only a matter of time before they accept a bid

Think he is a good player but wouldn’t want to go beyond 2.5 Mil for him. Plus Barnsley are a club in a financial mess top to bottom so can’t see them turning down 2.5 Mil up front in their current climate.

Surely we will draft in a replacement quickly if Hamer leaves, we're fucked if Kelly or Eccles are going to be first 11 this season.

I expect Hamer to be replaced with two players for £3-4 million each if he leaves.

Eccles made 34 appearances last season. He isn't Gus Hamer but we certainly aren't fucked with him in the team.

Sure I saw something about the latest Audited Accounts and massive losses. Also saw something about EFL breaches?

Yeah he’s a class act in my opinion, overlapping centre back get a few goals, loves bombing forward, but a solid defender too.

Do you live in a cave? You’ve been charged with loads of EFL rule breaches mostly around financial irregularities after the so called ownership changes

As a Sheaf replacement or RWB he is fine. If we're relying on him for creativity, I'm not so sure.

There is a reason why they've released the story to the press with the fee, they're looking for competitive bids

Tykes turnover rises as fans return but losses widen - Insider Media

Turnover has grown by 20 per cent in the latest accounts for Barnsley FC as fans returned to games following the pandemic but pre-tax losses have widened.
www.insidermedia.com

To be fair the reported losses seems to be closer to 12 million over 2 years

Agree he’s never a like for like replacement but as with Vik going, we’ll alter the shape of the team. You could have Eccles and sheaf sitting a bit deeper which gives freedom to the more attacking wingbacks, ohare (when fit)/palmer/sakamoto etc

Some of Eccles passing/vision is better than he’s given credit for, same as sheaf but they play it safer than hamer and obviously don’t provide same goal threat. We’d 100% miss hamer but I’d imagine we’d also find a slightly different way of playing, like we had to when ohare got injured.

Ps don’t know much about Kitching but if we’re keen let’s hope we can get deal over the line. Need CB and captain is always a positive

You do realise that bull shït is the reason some of the owners of the club have asked the EFL to investigate the other owners don’t you ?.

Had the same thought. Robins mentioned Thomas’s injury but said no more on it. Would be devastating news if he’s out for a prolonged period after just one game.

Nah, we need another CB anyway, if we are playing 3 at the back you need at least 5 in the squad

Yes and it’s the reporting of the accounts and what’s in them that’s being investigated.

Mark Robins just said he has an injury but the DUMB interviewer didn't ask him how bad or how long.

He said something like bad enough to keep him out of tonight’s game, didn’t sound overly concerned
