Boro Badger

Would anyone be kind enough to list the targets we didn't quite get over the line for one reason or another? Would be really interested to see it. Maybe we'll go back in for some in January.

I’m guessing the plan is to get our width from the full backs Liverpool style, so I’m not expecting us to target wingers as a priority this window.

I actually think we'd have been 15-18 points worse off without Randolph last year. He saved us, literally, so many times. Mejias is fine for a backup, but he's not good enough to be our No 1. The opposition just target and bully him as he can't catch or punch crosses.

I'd pay double for a shirt without any sponsors, especially when they are betting sites or pawn shops. At least the kid's shirt doesn't have that problem.

If 433 turns out to be Woodie's preference, it feels like we're a few players off a decent team: ------------------ Randolph ------------------ -- ??????? --- Ayala ---- Fry --- ??????? -- ------ Howson --- McNair --- Wing ------- --- ??????? ----------------- Tavenier --- ------------------ Fletcher-------------------- I'd sell Britt to fund the players we need to pull off whatever Woodie's vision is. Ayala/Flint aren't amazing, but should be good enough at this level to partner Fry. Keane isn't going to allow any 'miserable so-and-sos' so I can't see Braithwaite featuring. I'd rather develop Tav in that position.

Woodie is saying all the right things; promoting youth, attacking football, honesty with transfer budgets. All the things we've been asking for. There's a clear lack of experience in the appointments, but what the hell, we'll be giving it a go and come the first match of the season the Riverside will have a buzz about it again. UTB.

Just have a feeling Jokanovic will come off and be announced on Monday June 3rd. He got Watford and Fulham promoted, so why not us! Woody as #2, giving him a few more attempts to pass his badges ?

Oh thank *** - he’s finally gone!

It’s like the opposite of Christmas. Instead of “has he been?” it’s “has he ***ed off yet?”

Really? Would our club mascot need to become a can of tangy refreshing beverage for contractural reasons? All the Red Bull clubs have red bull as a mascot and all the club logos feature the two red bulls. I’d like their investment and strategy but I don’t think I could stomach a logo change.

A Red Bull?

Can we all spare a thought for Roary the Lion who would be on the dole

Red Bull have done a great job with all their clubs and we fit their buying profile. I can see this happening and I can see it being really fantastic. UTRB!

too good BU :funny: :funny: :funny:
