Introducing Chris Wilder MOTM (Man of the Moment)
TheTeesTease replied to RiseAgainst's topic in Boro Forum
Why do some people want Farke over Wilder? I'm not overly excited about the appointment myself if it is confirmed but surely if you compare the two CVs, Wilder's is more impressive? -
Neil Warnock, Steve Gibson & Long Term Vision?
TheTeesTease replied to p_mards's topic in Boro Forum
I don't think they are. I think they have more involvement in terms of hiring the backroom staff as well. At least that's what I think they do in Germany. End of the day though, they'll do whatever Gibson will let them do. -
Wilf Mannion

Count me in as well please, Raf.

Of course he is, I mean, no sarcasm, he really is injured. I don't know what he needs to do for people to believe him, With regards to earlier conversation about our forward line maybe not being good enough, just remember Bournemouth stayed up with Junior Stanislas, Josh King, Glen Murray and Benik Afobe. I think we're better than people like to think. They had pace, though. Allowing them to hit teams on the counter and get behind the defence. Not saying it's utter tripe, beyond any means as these new players need time to gel but we need some pace, badly. A Victor Moses etc.
-
I'd rather keep him and continuing negotiating throughout the season. We haven't got a lot of money tied up in the guy and he is important to the squad. If he goes on a free, he goes. Any offers would be less than what the club think he's worth anyway.
-
Probably a bit ambitious but if we can't get Ramirez, I would love it if we could have a cheeky bid for Lima from Santos. Haven't seen anything linking him to a big European club and would probably cost north of £10m+ but this guy would no doubt definitely suit the Premier League. Quick, direct and his passing range is exceptional. Here's a little highlight vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVCkG18s2qY

Sorry, false alarm. I think that's my source's gut feeling, not fact. Carry on with the celebrations, folks. :D Don't EVER scare me like that again, you hear me? Well I think at least one player will be moving on. If we complete the signing of Rhodes we'll have 9 players fighting over 4 positions. Rhodes Nugent Kike Kike Sola Ramirez Downing De Pena Adomah Stuani I would say 9 is the right number. 2 for each of the 3 behind the striker and three for the striker role De Pena loaned out, maybe?
-
Personally I would give Nugent a try on the right wing, swapping with Stuani or McCormack if he was to come. Think he'll be better off coming in off the right into the box rather than playing the loan striker.
-
If these transfers do come off, the fluidity a*** our front four positions will be incredible. Something has to give though, surely?
-
We haven't signed any of them yet, feet firmly on the ground until then from me!
-
Unless were going for more flexibility formation wise, I honestly cannot see Rhodes fitting into the system we have. McCormack would be the much better fit if he were to come.

Victor Orta Recruitment role at Boro appointed
TheTeesTease replied to SmogInSheff's topic in Boro Forum
may also be a case of his reputation getting us to the bargaining table with the player quicker than other clubs I don't think our scouting system is necessarily advanced or unique in anyway, just a case of adapting and following the way modern football has gone in recent years. I'd be interesting to see with the appointment of Victor Orta will be the same as Bernard Lacombe's role at Lyon and the system they have in place there. -
Listening to Burnley commentary, they are in complete awe of Downing

Recall Carayol? :D
