MICHAEL DUFF has revealed that Barnsley have already missed out on signing one player who they had hoped to unveil at the start of the January transfer window.

The Reds head coach is keen to add to his squad to bolster the club's promotion prospects, with bringing in a new striking option and right wing-back being among his priorities.

Ideally, Duff wants to bring in prospective signings sooner rather than later to get them assimilated into his squad.

He said: "We've just lost out on one, it was all done and dusted and we were hoping that the player was going to be in training with us (on Wednesday), even though he wouldn't have been able to play until the first week in January.

"Circumstances have changed and he has now found himself in his team at his club and that's all happened in two or three weeks. It changes quickly.

"In a perfect world, that would have happened and we'd have one in and the window has not even opened. But it's changed. It's a game of moving parts. You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket."

Sam Vokes at wycombe is being rumoured , dunt matter though ,

I did wonder if it was Woodrow. He's just made a few sub appearances recent weeks for Luton and scored the other day. We need his like tonight.

Duff will need to get used to the, "Despite working 24 hours a day we just failed to get the deal over the line" stuff from a Barnsley CEO in the transfer window.

It's Barnsley CEO speak for "We wouldn't/ couldn't pay his requested wages" and/or "We wouldn't/ couldn't pay the fee requested".

Used to it aren't wi and erd it all afooar SB.

As Arbs has pointed out Cauley Woodrow fits that sequence and timing of events at Luton.

He does - but if it is him - then we are truly up the creek.
Leya would be a better option IMO.
But I’m expecting someone in that’s better than either of them.

THE 72 Reporting.

Cardiff City man Tom Sang has been the subject of an enquiry from League One side Barnsley, reporter Darren Witcoop has revealed.
The 72
Barnsley boss Michael Duff worked with Sang during their time together at Cheltenham Town.
The 23-year-old, who can play as a defensive midfielder on on the right-hand side as a full-back or wing-back, played 14 times under Duff in the first half of the 2020/21 campaign before returning to the Bluebirds.

Since then, the former Manchester United youngster has also spent time on loan in Scotland with St. Johnstone while notching up 23 appearances for Cardiff City’s first-team.
Now, ahead of January, Sang is attracting interest from Duff again.
