Okay guys, here are a couple of players who I think we could realistically look at signing, both of whom are currently playing for Barnsley:
1) Kieffer Moore (striker) - natural goal scorer that we're desperately in need of, and as another user mentioned, we need someone with a physical presence that can put themselves about a bit. He's 6"5, so this satisfies that criteria. He did very well for Rotherham in 2017-18, scoring 13 goals in 22 games, and hasn't done too badly for Barnsley either, with 13 in 36 for the Tykes at a goal to game ratio of less than 1 in every 3 games. Okay, these samples are both from League 1, but I believe he has the physical presence required to succeed in the Championship.
2) Alex Mowatt (midfielder) - this guy has really impressed me. I went to a Barnsley match a few weeks ago as I live nearby and he scored a wonderful goal. I was very surprised to see him playing in League 1. In 2014-15 he played for Leeds and looked every bit the Championship midfielder; not afraid to run at defences, good awareness and physicality, with pace. Remember him scoring a stunner against Wolves in April 2015. So we'd be signing someone fairly young (he's 23) and who not only has Championship experience, but has done well at this level. I also believe it's a realistic move as we could pay higher wages than Barnsley and with us being in a higher division and not doing too badly he may be inclined to join us. Only disadvantage is he did strike me as a bit similar to Sam Morsy and Lee Evans in the way he plays, so possibly we may have too many players of the same style.
Thoughts?
