  1. Do people actually know that Man City installed a 20% sell on fee? Don’t recall seeing it mentioned when he signed
  2. Payero and McNair I’d expect the favourites to be sold. Coburn loan. Crooks and Mcgree other possibilities but if we sell the latter we need a replacement. Don’t think the others need replacing if we get the CM, AM & ST that we are apparently targeting.
  3. A good announcement video for Lath would be this
  4. My take from that is that Crooks only played the equivalent of 19 games last season even though he was very rarely injured. Willock by all accounts missed large chunks through injury yet only clocked up 136 minutes less than crooks over the season. For me that just shows that Crooks obviously isn’t fancied in this system/position. He seems like a great guy but in my humble opinion if you have a player that you don’t really use because their skillset doesn’t quite suit the style then you move them on and get players that do suit the style. It’s not hate against him it’s just what seem
  5. Remember those glory days (72 hours ago) when we were all fighting over who we’d prefer between Larsen and Riis? 🙈 Those we’re the days eh? 👀😂
  6. Anyone have an idea how much any of the following forwards might be valued at? Brereton-Diaz Semedo Piroe Stewart Hogan Adebayo Cornick Surely we could afford one of these fellas
  7. But signing strikers is far harder in January and you tend to have to pay a premium
  8. To make it fair we need someone that can provide info on his xG throughout these apps this season. For all we know when he’s been on the pitch he’s hardly had an opportunity to score.
  9. How many minutes has he played? 88 games sounds a lot but many of those could have been 10-15 min cameos.
  10. With you talking about “upfront” payments I think you’re getting slightly confused. With regards to Groningen wanting €12m upfront that doesn’t mean they want the cash all in one go, it means they want it guaranteed as opposed to future clauses. Not many deals are carried out with cash up front, most are paid over the length of the incoming players contract. 😊
  11. Imo I think Bola and McNair being more mobile work better in the system going forward. However Gibson in there probably would make us more solid, at the detriment to the style of play
  12. Ben Gibson certainly isn’t a poor player, he’s a really good defender at this level but I’m not certain he is mobile or quick enough to play as Wilder wants a LCB to play.
  13. Fair points, I guess we are all just assuming with this possible signing that he’ll be getting played a particular way. I really hope that if he’s brought in it’s due to how his skillset improves the side and not simply off 20 goals last season
  14. And that’s fine, it’s seems that’s what Boro preferred but as it stands Larsen is a no go. Let’s assume that deal is 100% dead in the water. With that in mind we can’t keep comparing cheaper options to him imo. I’m not saying Riis is better but he may be the next best available options at a young age. If he comes and scores 20 for a 2nd successive season in the championship surely his value is closer to £12m-£15m, and we can sell for a profit if we don’t go up
  15. But we are told we are trying to get another striker too, such as Muniz that would play the deeper role
  16. What if Forss is injured or suspended or not playing well. Surely we need an alternative to Forss as the “poacher”
  17. Is Riss going to be playing the deeper role though? Or is he the one that is arriving into the box to stick it in the next, similar to Forss?
  18. Perhaps Forss would be the understudy for Riis. One of these as the poacher playing alongside Akpom, Muniz(?), McGree
  19. Even if that extra £2m affects the ability to bring in the 2nd Striker, CM and LCB?
