Great when you can pick a tiny bit you want to focus on and ignore the rest. You consistently offer absurd valuations on players. Are they worth what they change hands for? Of course not, no more than they're worth what they get paid but going around offering a third of the market value of anything is just wasting your own time and energy, the commodity is irrelevant. Half a season, injured then done nothing since isn’t the sort of player we should be after. The valuations are insane. He's scored a few for Leicester in not a great many appearances/minutes. I've absolutely no idea whether I'm likely to rate him I've never knowingly watched him and he seems a little lighweight/small for my taste but he's certainly given signs he could be prolific at this level. Similar strike rate in the championship to Stansfield who I'd also have been happy with despite him not being my ideal idea of a CF. The Coventry striker who went to Portugal Goykores(sp?) that's the price of a properly proven championship goal scorer.

Decent player but unproven down here - mind you Van Djik did ok but there are many that didn’t - going back as far as Peter Marinello to Arse Anyway I digress - money being quoted is obscene.

Anyone kind enough to enlighten me as to who may be signing tomorrow? I’m loving the outgoings today though, agree with every decision and really happy the club is seeing the same as we are (the vast majority) for once!

LB? Is that a typo? Bocat played LB Well he was routinely considerably deeper than Moran and Burger. What position are you calling it? If it involves the word forward you're having a laugh. He played in the attacking third yes

Meant to add that the poor sod got taken out by a Crawley player looking to make a name for himself. Horrible git winked after he’d done it. End result - he’s out for months and having an ankle op. Gets his move and then bang. Funny old game, football. Not in this instance though. A reminder about what can happen.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/steven-schumacher-spells-out-stoke-9518658"It's important that I get the centre forward that I feel will help us with that profile and we are working really hard on another couple of positions too. Hopefully we go into the international break adding one or two to strengthen our squad for the run in until January."
An additional right back and possibly another midfielder could be the positions that Schumacher is still looking to strengthen, in addition to that striker. We haven't been linked to any right backs have we ? We sure could do with one. Harrison Ashby.

We don’t need all of these midfielders. Thompson Burger Moran Sidibe Lawal Seko Is plenty. 6 players for 3 positions.

However, due to the nature and intensity of the Championship it’s wise to have various players that play the same position for rotation/injuries. Plus at the moment Sidibe has only played a handful of games so shouldn’t be expected to carry the DM/box-to-box role on his own.

Obviously from the same school of though that says you can play Burger as an advanced midfielder then wonder why it doesn't work.

He’s a box to box midfielder clearly. 🤦♂️🤣 Why you keep banging this drum is anyone’s guess.

I would like to think that no one blocks anyone Bayern, if he’s good enough and shows it week in week out, he will start. It’s as simple as that. Surely?
