Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Matete anyone? He's in the final year of his contract at Sunderland, but has been advised to find a new club. I assume it would be a free transfer.

Not sure Schumacher is a big fan?

Yeah, it's a bit tepid. Schuey borrowed him halfway through Plymouth's promotion season and picked him in the matchday squad for all 23 league games thereafter, using him 21 times – but only 8 in the starting lineup. Then last season, Jay was in just 6 of Schuey's 15 league starting XIs, with 6 more sub appearances. And that was much more Evatt's squad.

I mean if he was free (which he might not be) and Thomason goes for £750k, he could fill a gap - but I don't think Schuey will bust a gut.

Got a funny feeling that our next captain is already here. Forino.

I'm not saying that your wrong, and its only my personal opinion but I really hope he's not.

1. I'm not totally convinced by him as a player never mind a captain.
2. I think that we need someone a little more vocal & can lead by example, in the few games that I've seen Forino play he doesn't seem fully switched on and looks like he's going through the motions

For what its worth I think that it will be Thomason (if he's still here) or a new experienced signing (which is possibly wishful thinking) or even Toal who I think would make a decent captain.

Wonder whether Hutchinson's departure on loan means that we're close to making a decision on this trialist keeper - Nathan Broomes, is it?

A new Broome to give Hutch the brush off?

He definitely leads by example. Won an award for community work and was the only player not to feck off early at the End of Season do!

He had a poor season, but provided the occasional moment of quality. And I know he’s not home-grown, but he may as well be—he’d die for the badge. We still have countless difficult derbies next season; I’d want someone who gives a shite. Be gutted to see him go. Young northern lad—we all should.
