Stop me if I’m wrong here but if the three players we’ve signed only one is English and one was from a foreign club. So 66%of our transfers are non British and 33% are from foreign clubs with us being linked to more foreign players. So where’s the rhetoric that we are only buying British plodders come from. We aren't buying anyone much and one of those we have is apparently linked to the previous regime. And tbf the goalkeeper going by last night looks like he's shrunk in the wash.

Bocat was Dublin led. We can only hope that they haven’t binned that model completely. They didn't have to buy him just because Jared identified him. It suggests to me they're still happy to look abroad. Why wouldn't they, for all of the reasons explained? They didn’t and that’s the hope. But what Schumacher has said today is extremely concerning.

Fuck me. Knickers are completely dry but would like some signings to dilute the drivel on here. I'm aware that I add to the drivel btw. where as mine are completely soaked and there is a small tidal wave rolling down the street, what gives

Something like I need a whole new set of players in the final third in central areas I would think was pretty appropriate.

Or, to put it another way, everyone else is swimming in the same pool as us. So, in essence, every club doing transfers in the championship is inept, inward looking, with no plan other than players on these shores. I think come the end of this window that will pan out very very differently.

Still think Mmaee will do well here but fans are quick to brandish players as lazy (Nzonzi, Arnie etc) because of what country they’re from etc. Saying that, I wouldn’t mind Cannon, Ugbo or Stansfield, but so do most of the clubs in this league, so it would be good to think outside of the box

No doubt but when it came to strikers I wish they'd thought a little bit more about the box or even the goal FFS.

Have we got a striker lined up as it seems all the players we were linked with are going to other clubs?

Bayern slates him btw but somehow thinks it's ok for Mmaee.

I haven't yet seen a single manager interviewed from any club in world football who's said who they're targeting in transfer windows. I'd say the Schumacher statement is what most championship managers would be saying, the prem gets the ball rolling every window, it is what it is. See what falls and who can be picked up alongside players from further afield.

but we recruited the HC before the SD , so how’s that work And subsequently changed SJWs job title. Everything was done the wrong way round but fortunately it seems to be working. does it , there’s a lot of grumbling behind the scenes

Hahaha players who get forward being forward. I would expect there to be plenty of times Baker is that far forward it’s kind of in the title “box to box”. As Schumacher has said he plays with two 8s. As I said we play one holding midfielder, one complete box to box and the other CM has to join the press and be mobile enough to do that. As Bacon (actually made a good point) said about Laurent he hasn't got the technical ability to be cute if we win it back high up. No team in world football plays to 8s.Chelsea had Makelele, Ballack box to box then Lampard in midfield but hitting the box late and helping press. You wouldnt say hes a 10 but he does that role and more I don't care what you call it, one of the center mids has to be continually higher than the other to help in press and provide legs in their defensive 3rd. It's literally the most basic formation in football. As an after thought that seems about as naive as saying nobody in world football operates without a DM given our own experience under MON.
