Collins out would be madness. But that LW is maybe the best slot for McAtee? Feck knows what he is though.
He isn’t a winger. Maybe he’s a 10, albeit more of a “split striker” than a creative genius.

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

That’s fair but Schumacher talks about his legs and energy - which doesn’t scream ‘I’m about to stick him at centre half’. I mean it does feel liberating that the club have at last ditched the nonsense Evatt thing of not having a prosper defensive midfield player. Not since MJ. Yeah, reasonable on ...

If they do buy Collins can we throw in Dan for free?
Think we'd have to knock some off the fee, etc

Anyway.... cmon BWFC, tell us more...

Is there a possibility we might've put clubs on notice?
That he's available? I suspect it's almost certain, and I doubt he'll be the last. I think one of our contracted midfielders will go, and perhaps a centre-back too.

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

Can we just take a moment to spare a thought for poor Pru? This is his transfer thread and we're just about to sell our only goal scorer, ergo, it's all his fault. On second thoughts, depending on his replacement, I'll buy the rope, has anyone got a pitchfork or two?? Joining us live now is Tony Do...

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

Presumably, we'll be making him request a transfer, as paying his deal up would leave us with virtually nothing, given he's got two years left. I honestly can't think of any other transfer we've done, where our most valuable player has been sold and I've been this ambivalent. I can just imagine the...

MK Dons local media reporting this as ‘close to done’ for Collins. Or as they say ‘on the brink’.

Sounds like it’s happening.
Would be surprising if we didn't hold out for other interest. Unless we want him not to bite us in the ass.

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

I like the thought experiment. 12 goals could get you 36 points they got us less than 1 a goal. Given our loss record, stopping 12 might also bag you the same amount and we're often told devensive players are "cheaper." Glad you like it. A lot of goals are "grace goals" and change nowt compared to ...

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

Daft thought-experiment sidebar: Just looking through AC's goals. 7 of his 19 were in the cups. Of his 12 league goals, 6 altered the result: 5 came in single-goal wins, 1 in a draw. The other 6 were either in bigger wins or ones we lost anyway. Playing the old "if his goals were expunged" gamr, and...
