New good luck charm for @BarnsleyFC born at 1:13pm yesterday during the game. 100% win record during his lifetime. Did suggest to call him David after the hat trick hero but the missus wasn't keen 🤣 #BarnsleyFC

@tommyf1996 My dream CB signing for Barnsley this summer. But fat chance our board spend a fee near that 🙃

You take it and reinvest. Great player and feel like we could hold out for a little more but o would say it was inevitable he would be leaving this summer, his ceiling is much higher than League 2 #ycfc

@antclare78 They need to set an actual plan and try and execute it. Bounced from idea to idea last few years with way too many temporary stop gap bits of recruitment. If aim is to develop young uns and do it gradually, that's fine. But actually commit and sign a squad of em...

Is this still a thing or has the Stendel appointment given the board another shot? On a personal level it’s curbed my frustration but ultimately to keep these pics away it’ll take really solid recruitment… Do I trust them to do that? No. I’ll make sure this pic is saved.

@OakwellHub @COYRCOYRCOYR If didzy stays we need two additional to didzy imo. Possibly 3 if Farrell is given time out on loan. If didzy doesn't resign we definitely need 3

Stendel’s system usually relies on one central striker with quick, direct runners either side. During his last stint at Oakwell, he had the physical presence of Kieffer Moore occupying defenders, while Cauley Woodrow thrived off movement, second balls and space around him. Farrell looks a decent option to have in the squad, but if we’re serious about properly playing Stendel football again, we need two, maybe a third new strikers who starting XI ready.

🔴 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗥… 𝗪𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 🔴 If we’re honest, goals are now Barnsley’s biggest issue. McGoldrick future still undecided, Deadwood Watters and Dallas have gone, and beyond that there are inexperienced youthful academy lads. If Daniel Stendel is bringing back high-energy attacking football, Barnsley need proper options up front: ⚪️ A physical number nine ⚪️ A mobile pressing forward ⚪️ Genuine pace in behind Sides striving for promotion don’t succeed over 46 games with one reliable striker and a load of “maybe” options. This feels like Barnsley’s biggest attacking rebuild in years. Get it right… and the entire mood around Oakwell changes overnight. 🔴⚪️ Do you agree striker has to be the club’s number one priority this summer? 👇 #Barnsleyfc #OakwellHub

@COYRCOYRCOYR Sneaky sell on clause added to seal the deal

@NathanBFC Reckon you could get him in using that alone if figures are to be believed 👀

Briiiiiiiing #BarnsleyFC (fully called that he'd be available btw)

Offer that to Stoke with a tasty sell on for Nathan Lowe please if he's available #BarnsleyFC

@KhaosCentral Yeah another that's definitely worth a go

@NathanBFC There's a kid from Stendels old team who got 16 goals this season, only 19 and got 14 in 15 games. If he's available Stendel could possibly get the best out of him

Barnsley are desperate for some actual strikers. That little Argentine Felipe had a decent record in national league this season. Maybe worth a punt as a long term development option, seen as we basically have no strikers

@COYRCOYRCOYR I only heard of Gindorf today when someone else mentioned him on here and id be gutted if we didn't get him 🤣 looks absolutely elite

@NathanBFC Nathan Lowe, Zento Uno, Jayden Wareham, Lars Gindorf, etc. would all match that mould and go straight into our first team

25 players who I believe #BarnsleyFC should look to sign this window ✍️ under DANIEL STENDEL A thread 🧵⬇️

@COYRCOYRCOYR Definitely. That's the type we really need in my opinion

@COYRCOYRCOYR Definitely need younger players again. Would love to focus on mainly young lads that have got a fair few games under their belts too like many on my list and many we had before under Stendel

@NathanBFC Niceeee, I like a lot of these. Especially like the youth focus;m - it's what we need to switch to going forward 100%

@COYRCOYRCOYR Cracking thread mate. Id made a big list myself the other day on my phone. A few standouts id add are:

BONUS: So, how would my ideal (somewhat) realistic Stendel side would look? This lineup balances bucks, with sales of starting players like Cleary, Shepherd and Connell, and signings being primarily young and free. Did I miss anybody worth mentioning? Leave a reply below! ⬇️

@GuestyBFC @EthanGTBFC Id like to think same mate. But by keeping em we are stuck with them now until we can shift some of em out. If we'd have just released one or both that were out of contract. We'd have had one or two guaranteed slots in squad for some new ones

@NathanBFC @EthanGTBFC After last season’s absolute circus at the back I highly doubt a centre half isn’t on the shopping list. Shepherd will be on the transfer list.

Shepherd is low risk. Poor season, but shown glimpses of potential (Liverpool) & was great at Bradford. Conor's system was shit for defenders. Hopefully DS can develop him. Low wages. If it fails, released in a year. Can't be used as an excuse to not sign a CB! #barnsleyfc

@EthanGTBFC Exactly I think we will stick to it. Which is why I am worried we've kept so many of the current CBs. We don't need more than 4 in squad really, or shouldn't need more. But with the ones we've retained, plus the others we're already at 4

@NathanBFC Why would we reappoint Stendel to not play a back 4?

@EthanGTBFC I don't think so if we're sticking to a 4 personally. We only had so many this season due to being in a 3 for so long. We don't need 5 or 6 CBs when playing with a back 4. Would take a load of budget needed for STs or wingers

@NathanBFC Yeah I think there's room for 1 more if EOC stays. This season we had a core of about 5.

@Charlie18BFC @EthanGTBFC I hope you're right. I'm not convinced

@NathanBFC @EthanGTBFC Course they will. Someone will buy anyone. It might be a low end league two club or even national league but someone will buy

@Charlie18BFC @EthanGTBFC Sounds ace in theory. But is anyone going to want Earl. He only leaves if someone buys or loans him

@NathanBFC @EthanGTBFC Earl will leave. MDG and shep as backup. Sign a big, quality cb to pair O’Connell

@BarnsleyBreak Daniel Kanu from Charlton. Would require them to spend a fee If that's too unrealistic as it requires spending a fee, then I'd love em to get Haji Mnoga from Salford

if you could sign one player this summer for barnsley, who would it be? (keep it realistic) #barnsleyfc #guinup

@antclare78 Brown is the only one I'd have back personally

Players OOC that worked with DS. Woodrow Davies Brown Adeboyejo Mcgeehan Cavare Walton Thiam I mean we’re in nostalgia mode right? 😬 Who would you take hypothetically?
