Amateurish communication yet again, if that is the case for Fry's absence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't want to lose Stewart in the Robertson deal, but there was no other way to get it completed. Just googled to find the quote I wanted; this comes after an EFL Cup win against Spurs: "He was very important. I have said a few times, he’s the best challenger in the squad. One-on-one he is really ugly to play against. He’s a good footballer, good player and he had a good game. Very good.” In a *** poor Hull side, his stats for tackles, interceptions, and breaking up play are quite remarkable. Guessing the people who are against Stewart are also those who couldn't see the virtues of Adam Clayton in the Karanka system because he didn't score enough goals. Our lass is a Red, so I watch loads of Liverpool on tv, Stewart always looked a good player, just a little short of the level required for their work1st team.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I mean according to Neil Harris we outbid QPR/Stoke/Cardiff/Forest on a wage package for Kieffer Moore I really don't buy the argument we're a club spiralling nowhere with no pot to *ss in. If we start fielding Trialist A-G from every corner of Europe like the dark days of Mogga let me know but from everyone we've been in for we are challenging for the best available players in/around our division and it is true that utility/fringe players can always be stocked late in the window through loans the key now is getting in the 4-5 key players brought in for Warnock to work with before we kick off. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The training facilities rank up there with the best. The manager has a proven track record in this division. OK, so Linny Road May not be inspiring as a place of residence. Harrogate, York, Durham are all commutable. You only have to set foot into Boro to play ! Last season was a disaster- but we haven’t had as bad a season in decades. Come on, Boro get your act together- there are positives to promote Alright Jeff Stelling. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites

It's that simple. Who knows why SG won't remove him, probably because they're pals, but it doesn't stop it being the case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Listen, no one wants Bamba. I think we've made that clear. And yes, he's barely played. I doubt Warnock wants him, more that it's the media putting together 2+2 and making 56 - but if he does, then it's Warnock's call, and he has to live by it. My initial point to you @LewisBoroPalfreywasn't about Bamba, it was about Stewart. So many on here who have said "I've only seen him play against Boro" and "targeting players like Stewart show how far we've fallen" just point to them being daft and basing their view off reputation and Football Manager rather than genuinely having seen them play football. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It just sounds utter madness, he's been here since 2007 and our inability to get deals over the line has only been a real issue the last 3-4 years. Something must have changed Yes we have made bad signings previously, lots of them but this is something completely different Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) If you’re a footballer why on earth would you move to Boro to play under Pulis, Woodgate or Warnock? Pulis and Warnock aren’t attractive managers to the majority of players and Woodgate was untested. But again, would the excitement of playing for Woodgate be enough to turn your head? I doubt it. Karanka brought good players in due to his connections and stature in the game whilst also being helped by Kenyon and Mendes and Mourinho. We could also offer them higher wages / agent fees. Those days are gone now with our cost cutting and reluctance to haggle with Agents. As a result, we are struggling to get deals over the line. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
