Bambo

Bambo

What was he like for Barnsley out of interest?

Did he play much with Mads Andersen who's always struck me as a decent CB so that could be one to look at once they go down. Those 2 with Bauer and Lindsay as back up and Storey coming back strikes me as decent backup especially with Hughes doing better in this formation.

There’s a few from Barnsley I’d be taking a look at. Andersen, Morris, Quina, Styles, Britain and Collins.
 
He also did the best back pass to the goalie I've seen for a very long while.
He managed to disguise it as an 'up and under' (said in an Eddie Wareing accent) with a LOT of up!
Iversen caught it; back pass, no, certainly not ref!
 
I’ve just watched the extended highlights. What made me chuckle was at the corner kick which led to the Iversen save, Pearson was trying to hold Bambo. He had his arms around Bambo.
 
A couple of rusty moments & think he should have got his header in for their goal (though ultimately Hughes should have done better) but apart from that looked good. Big, strong, quick & decent on the ball. Has all the mskings of a very good player. Based on yesterday I think we'd be silly not to offer a longer term contract.

Carlton Morris isn't a bad shout. Evans will still be of use to us next season imho but bringing in a younger target man who can hold the ball up would certainly be ideal.

Saw Morris play for Norwich in the F.A. Youth Cup at Deepdale a few years ago. Surprised he never really got given a chance there as they seemed to keep him for years and then perhaps release him when he'll have just been ready for Championship football. But I suppose Pukki being the main man for a number of years limited his chances. Think he's got 12 months left on his deal at Barnsley so if we follow our usual transfer practice we'll offer £1 million in June, get knocked back, hope he doesn't sign for someone else. Offer £1 million on the final day of the summer transfer window, get knocked back and hope he doesn't sign for someone else. Offer £1 million at the start of next January - get knocked back. If he's still not signed for someone else on the last day of the window then offer the £1 million again and get accepted. Job done.
