the curiosity bit to much for you , and it does matter if you want see what bayern means Because my point was from March onwards, not about any specific games or run of games within those months. Heck, if we look at the previous 8 games it was 1 win and 7 defeats, relegation form if you've ever seen it but I wasn't talking about anything other than March onwards, in which was originally a tongue in cheek reply to Bayern which I thought he'd get as we tend to agree on a lot of things but Schumacher it seems is not one of them. but you’re arguing against Bayern’s point so them 9 games become relevant to prove it one way or the other

Come on, anyone with even a shred of transfer gossip, even if they know it is bollocks and unreliable, is tripping over themselves to post it on here and get some attention... If you're particularly desperate for interaction then you keep it as stupidly cryptic as possible to draw everyone in. And if you want some transfer news that bad just make some shit up. It’s a good laugh seeing people meltdown over some ridiculous shit you’ve made up. I actually quite like that it’s so quiet and the itk’s haven’t been very itk. It’s how the club should be run. Definitely, we shouldn't be hearing about transfer news really, if we are hearing about it then people in the important circles absolutely will be and you'll have other clubs hijacking deals all over the place. Doesn't stop be stalking the Oatcake for any shred of a rumour from anyone no matter how trustworthy though

i could understand a loan , probably a good solution With an option to buy. You won't find a better player we could realistically sign. i bet Jared could 😉

I’m not sure where the 12 game yardstick has come from, but in SS’s 24 league games he’s got 33 points at 1.38 points per game. Over a 46 game season that’s 63 points, which is pretty much exactly where I see us being this season. Like I've said above, I used it as a yardstick because it was the Boro win that snapped that awful run, it was the start of a new month in March and from there until the end of the season we gained enough points to show play off form. Ok fair enough, but it gives us a clearer picture when we look at his whole tenure so far which shows the bad run we had over February and the good run we had in April/May. He still comes out of it quite well.

For me it's a good barometer to go from that Middlesbrough win, we'd just lost to Cardiff and dropped in to the bottom 3 and beating Boro was our first win to end a run of 1 win and 7 defeats in the previous 8. So from losing to Cardiff and dropping in to the bottom 3, by hook or by crook we produced play off form for those last 12 games, yes we won 3 games in a row at the end but who knows, if the season hadn't have ended we could've won another 5 in a row. The funny thing is, I actually replied to you originally a bit tongue in cheek and I thought you'd have got it but instead you decided to go on a crusade against the last 12 games points tally I don't think you can do that, you can't say we might have gone on and won another 5 in a row, while also deciding to start from a win following a run of 1 win in 8, would that theoretically mean that from the last 20 games of the season we went: 7 wins, 3 draws, 10 defeats? 24 points from 20 games? This is why stats can be misleading because you can absolutely distort them by leaving out bits that don't suit. We could just as easily have been on the beach on those 3 games if we'd been safe and not won any of them. Football isn't black and white and there are mittigating circumstances. As it happens I would gladly have seen Schumacher sacked for the absolute eye-bleedingly shit football we had to watch. Just so happens he got enough to get us through and now I'm optimistic for a decent season this time around because I'm a sucker. Schumacher has a shit load left to prove though. I don't disagree with you but I chose those last 12 games for reasons stated above and like I've already said it was originally meant to be a bit tongue in cheek lol

For the quoted £1.5m it's the sort of risk we've been taking recently, and relatively little outlay compared to the amount we would have to pay if he had a good season on loan with no option to buy.

It’s believed the club wants a good local man for the role and see Pope has the ideal candidate for the job. Fans are believed to be over the moon with the prospect.

But I knew about Burger a good month before it happened.

The ones that keep getting name-checked with Champ clubs seem to be: Ugbo Stansfield Cannon Archer Al-Hamadi Jebbison Scarlett ....especially 2-3 could probably have their pick. Quite a few could probably only be loan possibilities though? I admire your perseverance FM, it's just lost in a sea of shit 😁

Quite a few could probably only be loan possibilities though? Archer and Stansfield stand out on that list to me. Ugbo, Cannon, and Al-Hamadi fall into the decent enough camp. Jebbison and Scarlett I am totally unconvinced by, despite the PR around both. I’d sooner we took the chance on Tezgel, tbh.

Not sure about the others but Jebbison is already fixed up.

Quite a few could probably only be loan possibilities though? I'd love Archer, Stansfield or Ugbo. I was really hoping Southampton might spend big on a striker and allow Ross Stewart out on loan. Was gutted we got priced out of a move for him last summer but think he'd be great for us.

Going on his last 2 outings I’d pick Junior at CF before Tezgel and that’s against league two opposition at best. Championship CB will eat him up.

He’d be a gamble?

I think Stansfield would link up really well with Jun ho, both good technically. I wonder if Mwaee might get a run in the next 3 games?.

If we were to go all out for Archer, and then possibly snag Ugbo as well, I think our whole season changes on that. Never going to happen but it would be fantastic.

Was gutted we got priced out of a move for him last summer but think he'd be great for us. I was delighted we didn't sign him considering he had a very nasty injury. He played a whopping 42 minutes last season and hasn't completed 90 minutes since the 22nd January 2023 (nearly 18 months ago). He's the type of player who we need to steer well clear of. Sunderland must've pissed themselves laughing when they got the money they did from Southampton.

Aren’t Brum fans pretty adamant that Stansfield is better on the left?
I mean I’d be cool with that if it meant:
Manhoef Junho Stansfied
