Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I think it's: A) if he qualifies for a work permit great, no issues, though it seems unlikely he would; or B) we have two (I think) ESC spots which are basically exemptions from normal work permit rules. As far as I know Schon takes up one (you can move to a full WP if you later qualify but doubt he...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Have we considered bringing in anyone to play on the sides?

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

My guess is they got involved because they thought their algorithm and AI modelling could replicate high level data based on single camera footage of games. I.e. post COVID and iFollow suddenly they thought they could cheaply run close to top level analytics on the football league. You find a "sleep...

Not for me. We haven't got the players to play a 4232.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

It's certainly unlikely, but then I don't think anyone would have thought Ollie Norwood pitching up from being a prem regular to Stockport would happen either this time last year. Unlikely things sometimes happen.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I'd have thought it self evident that if he wants too much money we shouldn't sign him. But none of us know what he wants or what our budget is.

I suspect it's bollocks for the reasons DSB gives, but if Lincoln were in the conversation, we should be too.

If Toffolo is available in L1 we should be right at the front of that queue!

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I don't like this at all! Southwood going...I can see. He's not good enough to be number one for us, but he's a solid L1 keeper. Though we didn't pay anything for him, he'd been a L1 regular, and we talked about having two number 1s so I imagine he's on pretty good for a keeper wages (though will st...

I mean obviously that fee is mental and so I doubt the whole thing, but anything close to that and I'll start the car etc.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

If I had to pick an XI tomorrow it's probably a FourFourF*ckingTwo, and wouldn't fill me with confidence.

TSL (I assume I'm allowed him for this thought experiment :D )

JDC - Total - Forino/Taylor - Conway

JOT - Morley -Simmons/Thomo - Schon

McAtee - Dalby.

Work to be done!

Re: League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike

There's no way we shouldn't be top four. There were problems with the group. But also a year ago they were one game from the champo. It's not rip it up. I like SS profile. But there's no way of badging this as a several year job. I'm not convinced so far, but it's June. But no excuse at all for not...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I'd venture to suggest then when you compare similar numbers of goals, but far fewer points per minute, the difference might be the useless c*nts at the other end. You don't pick the order you sign people, but so far for me the only player we've signed who addresses a glaring need is Dalby, and mayb...

Over the last 15 years, the numbers say bowl first.. But today's a day where you think "I mean, maybe we'll have a bat...". I wouldn't fancy being on the boundary, put it that way.

Don't like it. He's a very good player and we should have got more.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Don't like it at all. Everyone has their price but Collins is a very top end L1 player IMO, and doesn't sound we're getting anywhere near what we should be.
