[EastStandRed]

Midfielder set to join !!

[Ponte_Steve24]

Your avin' a giraffe. It would be on loan I've heard the lads just signed a new 4 year deal at Leicester. Also heard that we're about to off load some midfielders :O Sessi being one of them.

[DOOALI]

What was the point in signing all these midfielders anyway which I still can't get my head round and still signing more. I just give up and I'm rapidly loosing interest in this sham of a football club

I agree we've too many midfielders but why's it a sham Dooali? We've done well int last 18 months dunt tha think.

[perkytyke]

Unbelievable Jeff! I think this shows Hecky isn't choosing the players? And sadly I think Hammill may be out to the Blunts shortly as well? Hope I'm wrong!

Understand reports suggesting #barnsleyfc are close to signing #lcfc midfielder Harvey Barnes are true. Deal expected to happen before Sat.

[Ponte_Steve24]

Gunna cause disharmony in the group. Whose he replacing?

[POGGYWELL]

Must be one or two going.

[Ponte_Steve24]

Agree Poggy. Gotta be mate

[Atac]

Must be one or two going.

Which of our midfielder would you want to buy, unless you're going down a division?

[Acido]

What the heck do we need another midfielder for ?. I can't understand why Hecky is still looking at the midfield as his priority. :O
And weren't we meant to be moving away from this constant short term loan thing.
Also, I don't know why we're looking to offload Sessi when he hasn't really had a chance has he, to be good or bad, in all fairness ?.

Leicester City midfielder Harvey Barnes has agreed a deal to join Barnsley on loan

Barnes is highly-regarded at Leicester after coming through the ranks at the King Power Stadium.


Barnes, who made his first-team debut last season in a Champions League defeat to FC Porto, signed a new four-year deal at Leicester earlier this summer to keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2021.

The 19-year-old also enjoyed a successful spell on loan at MK Dons last season, winning the club's young player of the season before finishing top scorer as England Under-20s won the Toulon Tournament this summer.

Leicester have high hopes for the attacking midfielder, but his first-team chances were set to be limited this season under Craig Shakespeare.


The Foxes believe the next stage in Barnes' development is to go on loan to the Championship after impressing in League One last term.

A number of Championship clubs have expressed an interest in Barnes, but Barnsley have moved quickly to secure the ****ager's signature as Tykes boss Paul Heckingbottom looks to bolster his attacking options.

Barnes is expected to go straight into the Barnsley squad for this weekend's clash with Ipswich Town at Oakwell.

[DOOALI]

It's a sham Pass because it's been run poorly 1 example buy a multitude of midfielders who all play the same type of game and then adding some more on loan then obviously some will be going PC has been given a fair bit of money and either he or whoever have been spending it have spent it stupidly the top priority was a goal scorer and all we have is a team of f++king midfielders and young players with no championship experience championship suicide they have committed

[Ponte_Steve24]

Agree Dooali. We've signed Mallan he plays well in midfield and is forgotten about. It's a joke.

[animallittle3]

Looking ever more like the old Simon Davey trick , quantity over quality .

I sincerely hope not .

[Ponte_Steve24]

Say what you want. Hecky has final say over transfers. To me it's him that's losing the plot. Why do we need 11 midfielder's? Fair enough we might have dropped on with Hedges as a second striker and you could argue if Bradshaw stays fit he'll play anyway. That doesn't allow for loss of form.

We need striker's plural.

[POGGYWELL]

FA Cup semi final and finishing 4th bottom will do fine.

[Ponte_Steve24]

Apparently there was an interview with Maurice Watkins saying we're targeting the play-offs this season :O

[POGGYWELL]

Priority targets held up for various reasons hence target dates moved to end of August 7 games in.

[Ponte_Steve24]

Is anyone signing before the weekend apart from Harvey Wall Banger :D

[animallittle3]

FA Cup semi final and finishing 4th bottom will do fine.

Currently coaching kids in american high schools !!!

[EastStandRed]

Scored 4 in a behind closed doors friendly against Lincoln

[Romared]

It's time to shuffle pack in that midfield area , get Barnes in playing again ( he's not had much game time ) since he came here , Mallan in too , and Jared Bird worth a full game , Josh Kay among the subs , 2 of our own young lads , no experience if thu nivver laik !!

[Ponte_Steve24]

Drop Potts, Williams, Moncur n' Pearson.

[Romared]

Pearson could be a betta Centre Hafe than fullback , on the 2 games av seen soorfar ? Early days tho !!

[Barnsley Chop]

Agree Roma only seen the home games but looks a strong lad who could be center half

[SBRed48]

'Is fed on raw meyt.

[Ponte_Steve24]

I think he looks like Blakey off "on the buses" and moves like him too.
