O’Neil’s going to come out after the match and piss all over our chips isn’t he? Of course. He not getting a Rabbi Hes getting an Imam or a Dalai Lama.

So, about as Welsh as you can get then His name makes him sound Jewish. Or like welsh cheese on toast

Speed of thought is more important than pace.
A bit of craft and composure is what’s sadly lacking in our play.

the only religious figure we'd be interested in signing would be a nun as they never score either

Typical of Stoke to tap into the European market and dig out a Welsh bloke😉

He’s bit of a speedy LW, I don’t know too much but but of an Osayi-Samuel type, been out in Germany for a while but young and welsh.
This sounds like too perfect for a what a lot of you lot want to be signed this window, and yet most have just turned into old boring racist, xenophobic religious jokes.....
Oh dear,.... anyways. If it happens - it could be a good one. ☝️

A British player who has been struggling and needs to develop a more all round game to cope at a decent level. Seems about right and why it makes sense if it is Championship clubs after him.

Quick back of an envelope projection.
His scoring rate per 90 was 26% of the Man C U23's total scoring rate & his assist rate per 90 was 10% of the Man C U23 assist rate. (More a taker than a maker).
That dropped to 16% of Schalke's expected scoring rate per 90 & 8% of their expected assising rate per 90 when upped in class. (Still more a taker than a maker)
Schalke, worst team in the Bundesliga, is roughly equivalent to where we are now, so translating his share of xG and assists to us, you're looking at a goal ceiling of one every 450 mins of actual playing time & an assist every 14 full 90 minute games.
Good news is he's probably not good enough to command playing minutes and improve a Prem team, but neither does he move the dial much for a Championship team that lacks creativity.

I.5 attempts at goal per 90 mins Well that’s five times more than Ince To be fair to TI, he's taken 2.5 attempts per 90 at Stoke ;-) Is that 90 mins or 90 games 🤔

I’m not sure it’s worth bothering with then in that case. Why should we offer another clubs player a few months of learning curves and errors for their long term benefit? Unless the loan player is on a par with someone like Harvey Elliot at Blackburn (ie quality with mutual benefits for both clubs, and the player) then it’s pointless for us. Of course, if he turns out to be quality straight away then it’s happy days. Loan now buy later? I believe the source said no option to buy in the summer, so does not sound likely.

He'll be playing against worse opponents

Reminds me of the comment that Bob Paisley made after Liverpool bought an Israeli player Cohen . A reporter pointed out that if he is an Orthodox Jew that it ensured that he couldn’t play on a Saturday. Paisley replied that he had squad members that didn’t play on a Saturday and who weren’t Jewish
