Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Gale signed - 4 years.

Edit: When did they do PSG, if they're all in Spain?

They fly out on Sunday

And Schuey has the extra signing he said would be in before they depart. Guess we are in for a quiet week or so on the signing front now.

I'd imagine the other irons in the fire will progress as normal, doesn't necessarily need Schuey to be there.

You tease....

[Bijou Bob]

Surely the whole idea of having a DoF and a whole team of ex Argyle recruitment staff is that we don't need a manager to be around 24/7?

Nice that we kept this largely under wraps until it was done.

Thierry & potentially Cisse....we are being spoilt !

Something about the Ceesay story isn’t adding up to me. Feels like we are being used tbh.

Is this a feeling in the water or based on anything much?

For what its worth Mr Iles saying that its paperwork related with us being out of the EU etc. apparently it was similar to what's happened with Thierry.

Personally I think it will happen, however it feels like BWFCI thinks that bigger clubs than us will maybe now come in for him and that we've been used by his agent just to drum up interest, although we have apparently agreed a fee.

To the tune of barbados by typically tropical

" oh we got him from barbados
Oh Thierry Thierry "


Im working on the rest

That'll teach me to pay any credence to Domingos...Last Saturday, he said they were away next week, which would have started the day after. It's just full of rumours and make believe, this thread.

My bad.

How long until the BN has a "Gale Blows A Storm" headline?

No just on how odd it feels. The fact it’s out so publically - is it an agent trying to use us to entice others?

I'd be doing just that! Think as Bertie said there was some convo about "paperwork," because of Szabi wasn't there?

That's what Mrs Domingos says after I've had a lentil curry.

I suspect it’s a record for a Barbadian player. The journalist is Barbadian and largely focused on Barbadian audience.

Same journalist says he (Gale not the journo) will wear No.11. That was Dan’s number…

I can't workout what Schuey is aiming to do with the formation. I'm pretty sure back 4 is set in stone, and we've had bids/links to strikers like the Celtic lad. Assuming we get someone like that, both he and Dalby will likely be starters, I doubt we're spending that kind of money on a sub. This implies the 4132 is what were going for but if so are we going to be playing wingers in that formation? Having 1 deep midfielder, 1 central midfielder flanked by 2 wingers? That seems kind of a lightweight midfield to me, also no starting spots for Morley, Sheehan, or Thomason. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I feel pretty sure it’s likely a 433 - obvs some sort of variant - 4231/4123 I guess.

We need another striker who can play up top but let’s not forget it would be quite common in that sort of system to play a striker in one of the wide forward roles.

[The_Gun]

Gale looks to be a right footed left winger, suggesting Schuey is looking to play ‘inverted’ wingers again. I’m not against that entirely, but I hope to god that Schön is not going to be the starter on the right, because he’s really, really bad there.

[BorsdaneWhite]

Presuming Ceesay goes through, Schuey might have his first 11 in:

Teddy
Cogs - Forino - Taylor - Conway
Morley - Ceesay - Simons
Gale - Daley - Tutu

Even looking at those unfamiliar surnames feels weird. Bring it on, like.
