We've got two squad strikers if Collo signs. Better would be preferable, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep Collins with Washington, we'll already have 2 'squad' forwards, 3 if we don't loan out Brown. I think that any other forwards we get in, need to be intended starters. Unless, we loan out Washington and replace him with Cole. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The prospect of Washington and Collins up front next season frightens me. I would have released Collins, signed up Cole and Campbell and promoted Brown to the 1st team. derbydaz22 and TomG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you think we will sign a couple of strikers? Bit early for doom and gloom. The_Sheriff, jono, MaltRam and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 1 purple patch at start of the season and did hardly anything for the last 5 months. S8TY, Comrade 86, Jimbo Ram and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammysees Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Returning to the subject of Herbie Kane that this thread is about. The consensus from Barnsley fans seems to be No pace Too slow to react to make a tackle Spends most of his time passing sideways He should fit in fine 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had two good seasons in League 1 in his career and this season despite scoring 18, two came in the last 22 games. Other than age there’s no reason he should take Collins’ place. I’m also not convinced that Washington stays with us. I think whether we use Brown or not, we’ll add two more strikers to the squad and Wash will be 5th choice. I think he’ll probably go on loan, or on a free, back to L1 with us paying the majority of his wages. Comrade 86 and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consensus from Barnsley fans seems to be No pace Too slow to react to make a tackle Spends most of his time passing sideways He should fit in fine 😁 It’s fair to say that Barnsley fans haven’t warmed to him, despite him being a significant player for them for the past couple of seasons, a lot of it down to his perceived attitude. It has to be said that Barnsley fans have this with quite a few players though - they seem to be at odds with them and there is chronic disinterest from their supporters. I’m not entirely sure on the reasons. Herbie Kane isn’t quick, and part of me thinks that his profile flies in the face of what Warne wants in terms of athleticism, but he’s a technically good player and we need four central midfielders. He has the ability to play in the Championship, but how well he suits our system is less certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 His team mate phillips would be a far better option than Kane, obviously would require a fee though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do know Warne does like a technical player, see the likes of Barlaser and even our own Max Bird, but it’s also safe to assume he has a level of athleticism/pace he requires. Now, not entire sure whether Kane meets that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
