*JJ 510 Posted October 21, 2019 Tobias Thomsen, who should improve a lot next year, is still on 4, which leaves 5.37 to 6.87 for the seventh. Tero Aarnio would fit in 42.5? I for one would like to see him back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tero Aarnio would fit in 42.5? I for one would like to see him back. Aarnio's average is 6.85 so he fits with a 42.5 limit. I never saw Tobias Thomsen ride for Brummies so can't comment. Is he really more of a prospect than Danyon Hume who's average is 3.27. Hume is two years younger. Edited October 21, 2019 by Col 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomsen showed vast improvement towards the end .I assume a big factor will be Paco, Shanes and Thomsen are all assets so would save costs in terms of loan fees . Granted i have no idea what sort of money you pay for a loan but never the less a saving it would be . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted October 21, 2019 Loan fees are probably nothing compared to airfares, obviously don't know if Castagna, Aarnio & Thomsen plan to base themselves in the UK in 2020. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer Stoneman over Danyon…... I thought I'd read that Kemp might be up for grabs? And there's still Tom Bacon to factor in ? (possibly) Well done to our promoters for bagging 2 great signings early doors! Up the Brummies! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted October 22, 2019 Bacon is 5.2ish average wise. I only saw Hume once. He was quick but erratic, I'd take that over Agertoft very slow but steady & Castagna's less slow but clamped to the inside unless forced off it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted October 22, 2019 Danyon certainly deserves a chance at CL level but I feel we must move quickly as will be a lot of Clubs after quality British reserves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not, immensely frustrating unless he has stopped trying to jump the start every heat. Fairly certain from what people have posted that the septet will be Chris Harris, Jason Garrity, Tero Aarnio, James Shanes, Ashley Morris, Tobias Thomsen & Paco Castagna assuming the points limit is 42.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much speculation at present but all should be a lot clearer by the second week of November post AGM Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
