What's his average?

5.89

Schlein would be 5.39 (converted Champ ave) although it's kinda irrelevant. Birmingham will probably be miles under the limit, so won't have to worry about averages.

The likes of Zagar, who I think would drop his average, would still be on my list of worthwhile signings, because they don't have many options. Need to sign the best 6 left available.

[LagutaRacingFan]

Schlein and Zagar would be great signings, if the year was 2010.

Musielak and Zagar 100% at Birmingham in 2025, alongside Rew.  Schlein on his way to Oxford riding at 2/4

I have a gut feeling that Craig cook, Ben barker and nick morris all figure in some way in Birminghams plans

They're all past it. It's a No.1 which is needed; but Tolley reckons he is going to announce it soon.

I agree but I just feel that 1 or 2 of them fiqure in the plans 

[Falcon1983]

Can you imagine if Tolley announces this

1. Musielek

2. Z. Cook 

3. Douglas 

4. Morris/Schlein

5. Lindgren 

6. Vuolas/Lampart

7. Edwards RS

 

People seem to think Lindgren won't do the UK, yes he's doing Sweden but hes always when possible done 3, and i think his GP efforts were better when riding in the UK

Theres still a capacity to put a decent side together if the offers are there

Something tells me Tolley will spend his own money if the right opportunities become available

Think you could be right about Barker.... Bham won't want Morris and I think Cook will be at Leicester due to the Dickson connection with Berwick

Morris is banned till July, maybe barker as stand in till then

No Lindgren for Birmingham in 2025, Musielak and Zagar 100% at Birmingham as 1 and 5, with Rew coming in a la a new addition to the side.  Heard last week that Schlein is back in Premiership but on his way to Oxford

Doesn't sound like a team with a budget for 500 fans attending

It doesn't but just going with the flow as always, The rest of the team must be awful as the budget will be gone on the top two.

Barker not up to it now

[Youhave2minutes]

My gut feeling is it’s make or break year for the club. I cannot see the Brummies being competitive, as the top boys are all signed up.

try signing Timo Lahti

They had several ex Wolves last year, made virtually zero difference to attendances sadly and this wouldn't either 

Its already been discussed attendance was up last season in the Premiership.

[TTT]

Going with the flow of recent rumours as I always do as it keeps the forum traffic up.

Way under the limit but a large chunk of the budget would be splashed out on the No.1 & No.5, Common knowledge that Zagar asks for big money and Musielak would be on No.1 money as well.

 

1. Musielak 8.21

2. Sedgmen 4.79

3. S. Worrall 5.69

4. Rew 5.67 or Z. Cook 5.57

5. Zagar 7.50 (Reassessed Average)

6. Kerr 4.77

7. Edwards (RS)

By a miniscule amount starting from a low base, Tolley also admitted that signing Freddie didn't particularly result in increased crowds

He doesn't need ex Wolves riders and staff just good riders and staff
