BEEFING STRIKEFORCE UP, ADDING WING-BACK DEPTH Barnsley’s squad, assuming they do not sell key players or suffer any major injuries, is deep enough and good enough to compete for a place in the top half of the Championship. They have shown that already this season.  But, if they do manage to bring in another player or players in the final few days of the window, that might just give them a crucial extra edge in the second half of the season.  The Reds were impressively swift in the first w...

× Barnsley are searching for a new striker in the final ten days of the January transfer window.  Winger Luke Thomas was loaned to Ipswich Town this week, meaning the Reds are hoping to bring in some more depth for their front three in Valerien Ismael’s 3-4-3 formation.

× Barnsley will focus on signing players from English clubs when the transfer window opens in eight days, says Valerien Ismael.   With the changes in the rules due to the UK leaving the European Union on January 1, the Reds will be less free to sign overseas players as has been their policy in recent windows. A new points-based system is set to be introduced, meaning that players can only join English clubs if they have accrued the right number of points based on their ap...

The 29-year-old midfielder has impressed on loan from Premier League Leicester City this season, but the deal is due to expire in January. Chief executive Dane Murphy told the Chronicle earlier in the season that the Foxes decision on whether to keep him out on loan or bring him back into their squad would be vital.
