He liked the McCallum tweet also. If true the window has started perfectly addressed the keeper and LB situation for little to no money. Surely means we could spend large on a striker

Not going to happen. They going to be 2 from a stable of 5 or 6. We will probably bring Cundle in, and replace Johnson or Pearson if we can get rid. Burger, Cundle, Thompson, Baker, Laurent, Sidibe Maybe Replace if possible: Pearson and Johnson. We need two midfielders. Laurent and Baker aren’t good enough to be starting regularly. I would have thought there would be a good chance of agreeing with Johnson to terminate his contract. He's obviously not going to get in a Schumacher team and cost us nothing bar his signing on fee.

I hope Jared has lined up a replacement for Burger this summer.

However, the end of the season shows that we didn't need him as badly as we did at the start of the season. Don't get me wrong he's a great player for us but in my opinion he's easier to replace than Bae.

According to my Norwich supporting colleague
Decent pick up especially on a free Very good going forward, very weak defensively But will be a good player in the right system.

If this is the trade off for us not signing Hoever then I’m okay with it. McCallum/Junior is a much stronger starting pair than we’ve had in a long time.

Ive high hopes for Junior so not to bothered if we dont go in for Hoever. Rather put the money towards a decent CH

Wolves are desperate for money to reinvest. I think 4-5 mil could get Hoever permanently. If we do manage to get him I think our full backs would be one of the strongest in the league.

4/5m on a player we don’t need and know won’t turn up for most of the season? What?

Gooch was getting goals before he got injured .Arguably Hoevers goals probably kept us up. That price would be absolutely worth it for a 22 year old.

Christie is a free agent, he’d probably be better than spending 5mil on Hoever, experienced and would provide good competition/ cover for Tchamadeu, would rather spend the funds on a striker or decent CB

I think your views on Schumacher sum up your football knowledge buddy

Id take Gibson on a free but I'm not sure of his age, but always seemed pretty solid

I never got the feeling we had a chance of going down until late March but that was as much to do with others picking up results and making it more hairy I think. But I think it was unnecessarily close at the end and Schumacher played a part in that.

Enough that I expected an improvement when he joined and for us to be nowhere near a relegation battle.

Great bit of business. If the rumours of Sheffield wanting him are true we have incredible pulling power and its very impressive that he chose us over them.

I think you will find that was Alex Neil. It was both of them. Hardly on an equal footing though. It was essentially an Alex Neil squad which had more holes than a sieve. Schumacher didn’t exactly do it the easy way but maybe there was no easy way. We looked broken and on the verge of oblivion. Neil is far more culpable for the shit show of last season.

Ie McNally and Rose at the back weirdly worked. Use Burger and Junho. Use Mmaee. He got there in the end but it took him a while and in the middle of it he forgot his principles and made it worse. Like how long it took Manhoef to come into the side. What was that about? From his first sub appearance he looked totally different gravy to any of the others. I get it’s not easy but fuck me they make it look so hard.
