Before They've Kicked A Ball

In order to get the lowdown on Keith Hill's latest recruits, we've trawled the 'Twitterverse' to talk to the key independent bloggers and vocal fans who probably know them best.

We're very grateful to the supporters of their respective parent clubs/former teams who were kind enough to contribute their views. For Barnsley FC fans, we're delighted to provide you with some insight on the qualities that Emile Sinclair, Jonathan Greening and Ákos Buzsáky could be bringing to Oakwell.


Talking About ... Emile Sinclair (on loan from Peterborough United F.C.)

@onthepontyend shocking he could help put us down he has the ability to change a game with his pace.

@onthepontyend decent player who became resigned to the bench for an unknown reason. Have to question why we're helping clubs around us.

@onthepontyend got potential but needs to work hard n knuckle down got pace n can score but pretty useless at heading for his height

@onthepontyend He's quick and he's a good finisher but he doesn't hold the ball very well.

@onthepontyend Disappointed. Good player, can score goals at this level. Pacey and powerful. We should have kept him. Barnsley's gain!

Talking About ... Jonathan Greening (on loan from Nottingham Forest)

@onthepontyend Team man off the field, committed. Lost his edge as decision making is slower than in the past on the field.Needed game time.

@onthepontyend Hasn't been involved much for us but a model professional and great pedigree. Should add another dimension to your midfield.

@onthepontyend Sure! A good player, albeit he struggled to re-adapt to the Champ last season. A real shame it hasn't worked out for him here

Talking About ... Ákos Buzsáky (on loan from Portsmouth F.C.)

@onthepontyend If he can be injury free he will do a gr8 job for you once he's match fit. Skillful playmaker, takes a good free kick+ scores

@onthepontyend The White Pele produced some magical moments for #QPR and is loved by the fans. If he stays fit he will be a star for you.

@onthepontyend great striker of the ball, not the quickest, comfortable in the middle, reads the game well, very decent c'ship player
— Danny Kent (@DEEKAYQPR) November 21, 2012

@onthepontyend He's a solid attacking midfielder with occasional brilliance - especially set pieces - but tends to drift a bit in matches
— James Skinner (@jimboskinbo) November 21, 2012

@onthepontyend upper championship player when fit & having a run in the team. Great skill but fragile. Big crowd favourite at QPR.
