Devante Cole

[Colemans Left Hook]

As in Cole at barnsley

rumour is Curtis was their "main" target but they missed out on him

Boss Valerien Ismael said: "It is important that we continue to progress as a club and getting this deal done so quickly is a clear indication that we intend to be competitive next season."


ffs  :  sounds like they have no money    the trapp door awaits ??

apparently his nickname is Washington 

well the manager going takes them one pace towards the trappp door and the future suddenly isn't so bright for Devante .... more chance of him getting a good "vantege point"  sat watching from the stands

He might end up getting a right bag full, ….

Barnsley recruit to a system that has been working quite well for a while, we judge him on a handful of appearances and tarnish him for life…

Sadly he isn't a carbon copy of his father .....  more likely to get a bag full of coal  ..... going "coal picking" on the Barnsley spoil heaps

The club looks at players in a totally different way to the majority of other clubs .

Devante has played most of his career up front but the data may say he can potentially perform very well in another role in a high pressing system or as part of a three up top that we went with last season

They don't all come off for us but the lad was a free agent so the club clearly feel he's worth a punt .

Good luck with that, he failed to convince me he was up to Lg.1 standard, never mind the Championship. I was even more surprised at his age, he seems to have been around for a long time. Hope the new manager does well for you.

Thanks Barmby , I'll be happy enough around mid table as I don't expect to be challenging the top 6 .

Hoping the new coach has us playing more football than last season even though it got us a play off place .

just seen Barnsley got a new manager on June 29th   Markus Schopp 

what's in a name you might say  ... time will tell .

also noticed  the old  manager did a  "pied piper" act  to take Mowatt with him (yes we all knew he was going for over a year) but the destination
 if Barnsley want to stay up ... suggest they stick to what worked last season and don't play football.

[Colemans Left Hook]

well i did suggest that Barnsley stick to what they did last season "not play football" (see above)

but sadly they caught the  " we want to play fast flowing attacking football virus* "  (dream on)

Coleman thought -- "get to the back of the queue please" with all the other sheep


*and sadly no research is going into a vaccine to eradicate this "delusional" virus

[Chris Black come back]

Cole has scored one in seven this season, which isn’t actually too bad given he has only started two games.

[GazLaz]

He missed a sitter at the weekend. He’s atrocious.

[Draytonian III]

He’s just another bang average footballer living off his family’s name , Devante Cole, Darren Ferguson

[Colemans Left Hook]

just been looking for the thread where i went on about relegation awaiting Barnsley pre-season and it's important this thread is read from the initial post - some of us could see what was ahead for them - but couldn't see what was going to happen to us    when i went on about the trap door waiting for Barnsley -- with signings like Cole - but Coal at least has increased in value and our consolidation went up in smoke.

heres my quote from above from June 24th

" if Barnsley want to stay up ... suggest they stick to what worked last season and don't play football."

[Chris Black come back]

Got an unreal move after leaving Dingles. Just signed for West Brom on two year deal. Feasible chance of him being in the Premier League during that time.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

He must have a good agent!

I'm not changing my mind. A very good agent or some really good connections in the game???

[pib]

He did well for Barnsley to be fair to him, but very surprised to see him get a Championship move at all, let alone sign for one of the bigger hitters. It's not as if he's gone to one of the newly promoted teams or a Millwall/Plymouth type who would probably typically make most of their signings from the lower divisions.

[drfchound]

After seeing how he performed for us I’m amazed that he has gone on to get a deal at WBA.

I think Mo Faal is a better player already !
