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. Couple that with the fact that Hull are still buying foreign after Darnbrough has left and it points to a dual led approach there, where the foreigners were brought in by someone else and the British players brought in by Darnbrough (potentially - could be wrong). Basically, the approach we should have took if we thought Jared wasn't focusing on the British market enough.

How is it extremely concerning? Stop being so dramatic for once. How is it concerning that we’re swimming in the same pool as everyone one else? Really? Yes because the manager is definitely going to come out and say the exact players we are really after isn’t he. We will sign at least 2/3 players that haven’t even been mentioned. As we do every season.

You have I believe 22 to go at and I can't think of a single one off the top of my head who signed without being mentioned and us having a good idea we were in for them. Do name names.

If memory serves, and I’m old so could be wrong, I don’t think we had much idea about Haks and a few others. I dare say someone will now trawl back ( if they haven’t already done so in prep for answers to the query ) to prove me wrong. Which is absolutely fine.

I'm not even going to bother trawling I know it to be bollocks without making the slightest effort. I actually think Gooch was one of the shortest lead times but it still broke before he signed.

Seems brum have moved on from Laurent They’ll be the highest spending club in every league bar the Premier League this summer. Would be funny if after all these big spends they don't get promoted straight away & languish in L1. Albeit that said, & don't get me wrong getting relegated was never something I'd have advocated or wished for, I am right now just a tad envious of our Small Heath rivals. Getting relegated for them appears to have allowed them to have a general reset and they are properly being able to flex their spending prowess with big money signings and players on competitive contracts. They're also selling a project to new players, have a new stadium in the planning stages & have just sold their biggest amount of season tickets pre season in many a year so the signs are for Birmingham City to be challenging from the outset, but also look to do an Ipswich possibly and bounce themselves straight back through into the Premier League in a season or so's time! As my first point alludes to, hoping they don't manage to pull this off but who'd bet against them right now? Definitely seems a case of relegation for Blues is potentially more of a one step backwards and two forwards for them at the moment. You just know Stoke wouldn't have been as forward thinking if we'd got relegated, but Birmingham City seem to have galvanised their predicament & are going to utlislise the options it's presented them with very well thus far, ie no or hardly any spending restrictions in their quest to climb back up at the first attempt. If we did lose out on Stansfield to Birmingham City do you question the players aspirations or his new clubs potential and future prospects over that of our own?!

Wesley, Travers, Manhoef and Haks all basically came out of nowhere. Burger also came out of nowhere but then dragged on for a little longer than the others.

Stinks of the modern world wracked with jealousy and far too much focus on what others have/are having.

They were all pretty widely discussed before signing. Wesley even had his own beer engine at The Park Inn when AN and Ricky staged a visit. If Burger came from nowhere there's no hope it was extremely protracted. I'm actually pretty confused how something comes out of nowhere yet also drags on ??

If Burger came from nowhere there's no hope it was extremely protracted. Wesley signed no longer than 2 days after he was first mentioned, might have even been a day. Like I said nobody had mentioned Travers before Percy said he’s signing, Haks came from nothing and was signed almost immediately after being linked. It happens every year and it’ll happen again this year.

So people knowing about it two days in advance and being able to discuss it and someone being able to photoshop or the club able to stage a picture of the beer engine in the very pub where AN and Ricky decided to randomly visit with his name on it is coming out of the blue. I hope to fuck I'm never on a roundabout when you decide to pull out.

They didn’t and that’s the hope. But what Schumacher has said today is extremely concerning. Couple that with the fact that Hull are still buying foreign after Darnbrough has left and it points to a dual led approach there, where the foreigners were brought in by someone else and the British players brought in by Darnbrough (potentially - could be wrong). Basically, the approach we should have took if we thought Jared wasn't focusing on the British market enough. Aren’t they about to sign a League One English player? That’s not on at all.

Why is what he said concerning?. That's the nature of the beast at this stage of the season, especially as we are no longer at the upper end of the food chain🤔

Truth is, only he and the club know what’s going on.

We really need a pivotal striker to run the frontline and create space for the other forwards and mids to create openings. I think Brown would do if he was available?

Of all the options we've tried leading the line in the last few years he was quite possible the worst imo. He did a surprisingly good job for such a limited player coming off the right. Back to the "fast or strong" question. He was/is neither, admirable stamina and recovery mind.
