Stoke city
Stoke City is covertly preparing for another “huge” summer transfer window.
While concentrating on the near term, Steven Schumacher is still conscious that Stoke City will soon face another significant summer transfer window.
Stoke have twelve games left to escape the relegation zone, starting at home against Middlesbrough on Saturday. The team is in a fierce battle to ensure that their summer preparations are implemented in the Championship.
The last twelve months have seen 24 new signings, the most in any one year in the squad’s nearly six-year history. In the upcoming months, Schumacher anticipates that to be significantly reduced, though still enormous by another definition.
“It’s huge in terms of the importance and getting the decisions right,” said the head coach. “I can’t imagine there will be a massive turnaround in players because that happened last year. But we have to make sure we get the right type of player that’s going to play in the way we want to play. It’s important we get those decisions right and get the right profile and personality for everyone we try to bring in.”
Among the permanent players, Tyrese Campbell and Jordan Thompson have played the most in the final four months of their contracts, while Ciaran Clark, Enda Stevens, and Wesley have only made sporadic appearances. Also set to be free agents are Frank Fielding and blonde Nna Noukeu.
Stoke will still have 20 players on their roster who have played with the first team this season, even if those 14 are excluded. Regardless of the division, a better balance will need to be found.
With this statement, Schumacher can focus on accumulating enough points to survive: “You look at what’s the highest priority, and for now that’s the next game.” After we discuss that, you talk to the recruitment department over the weekend to find out how things are going and which players performed well enough for us to observe. You have meetings on Monday and Tuesday, and by Tuesday afternoon, you’re back to organizing the next game.
