  2. I'd say we should be spending more money on creativity behind the strikers, any half decent striker can bag a hatful. We've proven time and time again that spending 15m on a striker with a good record means nothing if you can't surround him with a supply line, we've spent what 40m+ on strikers since we've come down? And we've consistently been among the lowest scorers in the division... (even when attempting "attacking football") That's why I'm not too bothered about missing out on a player like Muniz.

  6. I really hope the rumours about Sturridge are not true. He's missed 145 games with injury during last 10 years. He will no doubt be on high wages. Not for me I'm afraid.

  9. He also fits the description of the Gazette's 'mystery striker'. Those words "A player who has been playing in Europe" to me suggested someone who had previously played in England but had most recently been abroad. And the fact that the finances would be tricky to work out line up with a player who, presumably, we aren't wanting to pay too much to as a base wage, given his injury record. I've no idea whether there's anything in it, but it would certainly add up.

  10. I don't. I just see him as the player he is, rather than the player people thought we were signing. 5 goals and 15 assists in 4 seasons doesn't represent value for money, especially when you consider that he has probably played more minutes over that period than anyone else in a Boro shirt. You can make some allowances for him being moved around a bit, certainly in in the case of playing at the back at times. However, it's a relatively small number of games, most of his games have been in midfield, and he simply hasn't done anywhere near enough overall. Add in the fact that his passing ha

  13. Once Payero comes in I would expect Morsy to take the deeper role and Howson to be less involved in starting matches. He will continue to be more than capable back up in our midfield. Pound for pound he has been a top signing for us and anyone thinking of booing him needs to give their head a shake IMO.

  14. My bad. It was a wrong statement regarding Morsy and it's not his job either to create chances. I'll happily admit I was wrong regarding him.

  15. Howson 100% plays as a CDM for us; Morsy for some reason plays as the 8 instead and it bothers me to no end.

  16. You can guess all you like but I saw nothing in Coulson to suggest that, and clearly neither did Neil. Jones did more in 20 minutes on Sunday that Coulson did in all of last season

  18. One of our worst passers actually. His passing has gotten progressively worse season by season since he signed for us. Last season he had a 66.6% accuracy, which is bad enough in general but makes him just about the least accurate passer on our books. By comparison, Spence was just over 70% last season, and of course we all know that he gives the ball away all of the time. Even Assombalonga's was higher last season, and I've had a look through most of the others and can only find Fry who was worse - a result of all of the stupid punts upfield no doubt. This weekend Howson had a passing ac

  19. No it doesn't. It might push him towards another loan, which he could use at 18 years old.

  23. Sorry to derail this thread with transfer talk but just listened to NW pre Blackpool conference on BBC Tees Confirms he did not want Coulson to go but has no choice as Coulson had made his mind up he wanted to go. Said hopefully he can have a good season at Ipswich and then come back and kick on here next season. Said he still hoping to add to squad and is happy to have Daniels in. Said him and Lumley between them got plenty of championship experience

  24. What's the verdict on Branston vs Heinz? Branston all the way for me - sauce is much thicker and more tomatoey. Heinz has got watery over the years.

  25. So is Howson officially this season’s boo-boy target? Or just an early favourite til Payero misplaces a pass? 🙄

  26. @newyddionwith all respect, I think you should consider leaving the argumentative bullshit posting to FMTTM. We already have one poster like that in @Changing Timesand frankly, one is enough. You seem like a decent enough guy but the rubbish you post on the other forum doesn't really fly here (which is why so many of us are calling you out on it!) Take the hint, pal

  28. If Sturridge is available to us we’d be stupid not to sign him. He’s had a fall from Grace but technically he’s class. If any other club signed him in the Championship 99% would be asking why we didn’t

  38. Don't like what I have been reading on here of late, not the content of the posts persay but mannerisms that are beginning to come to light. Reign it in a little guys with the direct arguements, other forum members begin to get bored with it. For the benefit of the many I am prepared to let others go so please stop the aggresive tones that are being repeated more and more. Thank you

      It probably goes against the grain for many but the Transporter Bridge isn't exactly iconic apart from an eight mile radius South, East and West of it. It's not even given a thought by people living to the North side of the Tees. Let's face it, it's usually under repair and out of order and even when "operational" neither practical nor functional. Being brutal, the Tees Flyover or even Newport Bridge are probably more recognised by people from outside of the area. Granted, it's old and quaint but other than that it's hardly the Tyne Bridge or Sydney Harbour Bridge which we built and I wouldn't want either of those on the badge. The Wilton Cooling towers are more instantly connected to Teesside by the rest of the Country and that (hopefully) isn't a consideration. If we do have to have something additional to the rampant Roary then let it be the ships which is a nod to our past and with the upcoming Freeport a nod to a hopefully successful future plus we know how supportive SG has been towards the Freeport. The Hogwarts badge coincides with the bleakest period at the Riverside and far from me being superstitious but it does seem more than a coincidence. Personally I'd prefer to revert to the badge which encompassed the most successful period in our 150 year history with just a subtle change of date.
