But they won’t get a top top rider because they would have secured it by now or if they do they will be paying desperate money. rumoured BZ was offered 7k per meeting Brum clearly haven't learnt their lesson from last time.

TTT 1,229 Posted January 7 Piotr Pawlicki would be a good signing but surely a deal would've been done by now if Piotr was in the 1-7 considering he made it known that he wanted to ride in the UK ages ago? I can't imagine that's it's Brum not willing to pull the trigger because he's one of the best options by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've signed 5 riders on a budget and are hoping to get two HL's in however the names being linked with Brum now are of much lesser quality than they were at the start. Maybe Sam will don the kevlars again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted January 7 (edited) Birmingham are leading their fans on, no way is Zmarzlik riding in the UK. So why even make him an offer? Brummies are going to end up with no heat leaders. I don't think they are prepared to pay Artem Laguta what he is worth. Artem is a world champion and deserves to be paid accordingly. Acceptable riders for Birmingham to sign as number 1 1. Zmarzlik 2. Laguta 3. Vaculik 4. Madsen 5. Lindgren 6. Dudek Edited January 7 by LagutaRacingFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birmingham would be a laughing stock after reeling off names like Laguta, Zmarzlik, Lindgren, Lindback and then ending up with Schlein…. I agree. Just think it's a possibility when you take into account that Brum are now being linked with new riders like Milik and Chugunov and they're engine room riders so it reeks of desperation. I'm working on the basis that Piotr Pawlicki and Matej Zagar are no go's as well now because they would've been signed weeks ago if they was in, I can't imagine them waiting around for weeks knowing that they're playing second fiddle to other riders because it gives out a poor message like 'We'll only have you if we cant get anyone better in'.

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted January 7 If you can't find a number 1 then you need to drop Zach Cook and replace him with a 6/7 point rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact the top two haven’t been signed makes it even more baffling that they have signed Lampart. I get this feeling they think that Lampart is going to be some sort of world beater and he is the next big thing out of Poland - which isn’t the case unfortunately. The top 2 should be signed and then they could decide whether to continue with Lampart or go with a stronger 6/7 pointer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
