  1. I doubt it. I think he might be put off by however much it might cost though. If he’s only got 5 months left on his contract it really can’t be that significant an amount. Just do it Gibbo. Meby he is just happy to see where we land this session and doesn't want to pay off another manager due to sacking especially when he is due to leave in the summer anyway. Saving his funds to reinvest with a new manager for next season hence the loan links.
  2. What really annoys me is how close we are... sat In 5th but still touching distance to top 2 and had hope that with a few of the right signings we could potentially push on and challenge. Now it looks like the remainder of the season is going to be spent watching drab results and worse performances with us all worried about the direction of the club and how much it’s going to take to turn it around in the summer not to mention with who could be in charge.... it’s really disappointing and feel gutted at the way the past year has gone and is likely to still go
  3. Newport are defo going to be even more up for butchering us to take Man City at home in the 5th round. Can’t see us winning this at all now.
  4. I think he has actually looked decent first half, yeah goal was a tap in but he has been powerful and focus point for them. Also his presence caused the pen
  5. As much as I'd like it to be true I think people are deluding themselves thinking Pulis has any intentions of playing 2 attacking Wingers and a Striker even if he gets his supposed transfer targets. I may be wrong but I can't remember 1 league match since he took over that had more than 2 attacking players on the pitch from the start. Pulis has played with 2 attacking wingers most (pretty much all) of his managing career, his main way of playing at WBA was hit it early into the channels and use the wingers pace to get up the pitch quickly and counter the opposition. The way i see it the
  6. Certainly very disappointing to hear considering how much we have struggled convincing quality players here! Guess we will never find out who it was and if we are right to feel annoyed.
  7. I do like the idea of us driving forward forcefully through midfield and linking up more than having wingers swinging in crosses time n time again for Gestede. Guess we would prefer both options available as a plan B but still looks a good, strong solid team which should be able to grind out results to look for a top 6 finish
  8. Looks like Villa have missed out on Abraham and never got the CB the fans are desperate for with bids being rejected. Not all rosey in that camp as well
  9. Giving Puncheon 10 minutes to decide if he wants to uproot his family and move to the other end of the country, that’s not going to happen. Have to agee with this, effective ploy by villa
  10. Damn! I was hoping the clock might save us from ourselves. Sky sports news just confirmed it’s not like that and any loans not in by 5 won’t go through
  11. Certainly did. Said we don't need anyone at centre-back. The only reason I can assume that would have changed is that either we're letting someone go or that was based on us not continuing to play 3/5 at the back. Another cb certainly points in the direction of sticking with the 3 at the back formation which is pullis changing his mind now that he hasn’t got players he wanted. Good actually that he can do that and go in a direction he might initially not have been comfortable with for the good of the team rather than being stubborn on a formation that wouldn’t work with our players.
  12. Just watched pullis interview after West Brom game and it is interesting that he alluded to once again the money spent last year and that the 50mill brought in from sales has managed to claw back the spending from last year.
  13. Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing! He was actually comparing Boro under Karanka to Forest under him now but it made no sense as was hinting doing what we do is ineffective?? Then Forest did the same thing on the next corner. I heard the same thing and I didn't hear any implication of the sort. Just seemed to say Karanka's way there is different to what it was here. I'm not sure I agree with the assessment but I certainly didn't hear anything that implied one method is more effective than the other. I guess it was more the words Forest (unlike Boro back then) like to get the ba

  15. We were after Besic and Saville at the end of the transfer window, Pulis obviously felt he needed them. We lost out at the time, but have since signed Besic. I guess Tony still wants Saville too. He’ll know how he wants to play and the type of players that he wants, I don’t think he’ll sign anyone just to make a signing. I’d stop worrying, if I were you, Wilson, Pulis has been doing this a long time, he’ll have a plan. I assumed at the time that Saville was an alternative to Besic and we were trying to kill 2 birds with one stone with him and Wallace. We haven't even gone back in for
  16. He's a mendes player I think, I think it was one of those he was always going to Villa deals. I wonder is Agnew being at Villa has helped them further in anyway knowing what we are prepared to go to/our stragagies etc.
  17. Trying to keep a positive mindset on it (hard coz it initially feels we lost out) it could be a slight blessing. Can’t help but think we ‘might’ have reverted back to how we played with Adama a bit and more 1 dimensional rather than the strong squad style game we seem to have developed with players who are prepared to give everything and have a vested interest in Boro winning games. Even Ojo gives slightly more reason with him being young and hungry to impress for the sake of his career.
  18. Highs and lows of Socer AM today: Fletcher actually making goals of the week.... No Adama in a Boro shirt making showboat anymore
  19. Could be something in it but just to comment, when I did a corporate day last year against Villa (TP first game), snograss came up at the end of the match and was very very matey with a table of suited guys next to us (who were friends with virtually everyone at Boro ) and then with our players namely woody, leadbitter and Friend.
  20. Wildschut? The everton lad we're after! Sorry Yannick Bolasie linked with Villa today by a few reports.
  21. If we are going to this level with him it’s points strongly towards us still working on trying to get both Besic and Bollasie
  22. Don’t think any of those are viable options. Two of them started games and Snodgrass came on at half time. They are not going to let players go who are that close to playing. Yeah I agree, the point I was trying to make. I would think any of these players around 1st team we should forget about.
  23. Interesting to see how many players linked on loan have played some part this weekend... top of my head Antonio, Snograss, Wood, Vokes and Ritchi
  24. Yeah very true on the Besic answers - Thanks. I guess the loan moves are good as well with Pullis only having a year remaining on his contract. Means a new manager can come in and do his own business relatively cost effective with not having to get rid of a load of players he doesn't fancy for his system. Could be what he is thinking after saying a number of times past managers have come in and spent a small fortune in his opinion not decent quality. Helps for future proofing the club in the event we don't make promotion.
