Schindler hinted at staying towards the end of last season though? Kongolo is on the fringes of the Dutch national side- he won't get picked for them playing in the second division and is too good to be playing in it full stop. He'd also command a much bigger fee. Kongolo is fairly happy here by the sounds of it. Very good mates with Mbenza, VLP, Bacuna. Town also won't sell him unless the fee is close to what we paid which is very unlikely Schindler isn't happy, doesn't like Siewart, hinted at being homesick in the past and Wagner allegedly interested your last sentence is without foundation.kongolo is more likely to go before schindler .

Quite pleased with that signing. Captain almost everywhere he has been. Personal view is that we missed Whitehead and Hudson’s influence last year. A bit of experience sprinkled in and amongst some talented youth could make all the difference.

How can either of you know ? Both just speculating .. fwiw I'd be surprised if they don't both go

He comes across like a young version of Huddy

It's not an exciting signing, but I sort of like that. A solid pro, with a lot of experience at this level and apparently a leader to boot.
I said it'd may be underwhelming if he was for the first eleven, but I'm already backtracking 😄 If Schindler goes for a decent fee and following reading some of the Villa and Hull's fans comments, he could be a really smart signing.

Schindler's leaving, going back to the Fatherland.

Listening to his interview and reading the quotes from Sievert on the official site, both player and head coach appear to be impressed with one another. I know after Christmas it all fell apart last season, but we were definitely missing some vocal leaders on the pitch. Schindler leads by example, Hogg shouts a lot but usually after mistakes (both by him as well as others). Smith could be an on field leader, but last season had enough on his plate playing at PL level.

It's a good sign that someone like that has signed. We must be offering decent wages and able to beat off other Championship clubs who we never would have stood a chance against 3 years ago Hope its also a sign schindler and kongolo maybe staying... If we were selling those 2 for big money you would think we wouldnt be looking at free transfers? We are coz we have no money, phill spent it buying club😉

A few good 'free' transfers and low compensation fees for young home grown talent might enable us to spend what's needed to get one or two goal scorers into the squad.

He hasn't moved into one of the "town" houses today, should be 3 announcements next week, now they are around the club. 2 tribunal/ small fee agreed and a free transfer from Germany. How's that success percentage getting on? Neither a tribunal fee or a free transfer from Germany.

Solid signing imo. The club fans he's played at before seem to rate him judging by the comments on Twitter. Comes across really well in his interview aswell.

Club captain Team captain Vice captains If Schindler stays I'd expect him to be captain, it would be strange for JS to take the captaincy off him having only appointed him to role recently. If there's a club captain role then it wouldn't surprise me if Elphick gets it. I'd heard via a reasonable source that Hogg was going, but his recent interview in the YP would imply that he's staying. Smith may well struggle to be first choice right back if we setup to play with full backs like Liverpool do.

Bournemouth supporter here. You've got a good'un in Tommy. Absolutely key figure in our promotion to the 'big money league'. As several have said, he is a leader and strong character. That 'big money league' caught him out a bit for pace but other than that he was OK. Seems to have been popular at Hull, don't know about Villa but I think he got injured early on. Good luck next season.

Seems a similar signing to Hudson when we got him. Very popular at his previous clubs , very experienced and clearly a leader , which is something we really need right now IMO.
Hudson was just a bit too far best his best as a player though, so hopefully Elphick isn't.

One of the best new signing interviews i’ve seen from Town players. Clearly done his due diligence on Jan, which is reassuring. I thought exactly the same, great interview from a very good pro
