Winger Tom Barkhuizen signs after leaving Derby County.

There's your pacy, two-footed winger.
Don't let the old man in.

That looks a proper signing that; and completely out of the blue

A bit of versatility upfront added to his vast experience in the game. Hope it goes well Tom and welcome to the Bluebirds :scarf: :scarf:

Cracking signing on the face of it, a lot of appearances at Championship and League One level over the last 7/8 seasons.
Popular side since '03.

Springs me back to the signing of David Worrall. Experienced head who’s had a good career but on the way down. Hope I am wrong as I’ve seen Barky play many times over the years and on his day he is quality.

Still need a No9 for me the right side is certainly loaded with firepower if required though

Have we not got Cameron and Hemmings?

He's 32, could be LHG syndrome ;)

Was also being touted at Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City earlier in the transfer window.

A Rams season ticket holder writes:

Good player in my view, not the sharpest tool in the box but a hard worker. Good signing

(Ha, Hadrian, I wrote this before I saw your post in similar vein. I doubt we know the same Derby supporter!)

I thought he gave a very honest interview. Fingers crossed he’s the missing link we’re looking for.

Neither are a no 9 (both are more like a no10) think we need a pacey no9 to run behind defenders. The fact the no9 shirt is still available might mean we are still waiting 🙏
