That would mean once again we havent a solid Left Back if we end up playing a back four, unless Bola is up to it.

I don't think you'll see a back 4 very often next season tbh, looks set to be the 352 for sure.

Hi guys! PAOK fan here from Greece. You are getting a really hard worker in Akpom. He is a top lad and a good professional. When he first came, he was considered a bench player. It was the 2018-19 sea

Morsy nearly done

Williams fee nearly agreed. 1.75million rising to 2.5 (So 1.75 then 😂).

I be frankly shocked if we manage to bring in 3-4 players 

He wants 2 strikers and a holding midfielder as priority then after that it looks like GK/CB as a luxury then supplement with loans for other areas later on if needed.

Doesn't seem too heavy a lift he's put Dijksteel/McNair/Woods in at CB in pre season they've all really impressed him I can see his logic it's not a logic of Mogga's 'it is what it is' its him learning about players in a pre season and adapting what we need.

Warnock's far too reasonable and logical for Boro working with multi million pound players he has already instead of piling them onto the bench it'll never catch on.

Hope, you're right. So he want's one in next week then 3 or 4 before the deadline. So five in total?

He's said he wants two ST's and a midfielder

So assuming the other two are a GK then either a CB or a creative player?

if he wants 2 more strikers then we are 100% going two up top.

Just fear we're going to sign no creative players like Roberts and if we do it will only be one of them yet again.

Don't worry, this season will be the one the exact same midfield and wide players suddenly become able to break teams down at home

Where is the space for a creative player like Roberts if we end up with 4 solid strikers rotating for the top 2 and 2 centre mids in front of a sitter where is the room for Roberts or a #10 or a winger?

There's definitely an argument for a forward thinking centre mid other than Browne, Tav or Wing that's something I think we are short on unless he thinks he can get the Saville from Millwall going again.

That's surely 2 strikers, a DM and possibly a CB then?

Dijksteel/McNair as the Beckenbauer style CB, Fry, Hall, Wood, Stubbs as the traditionals. But Dijksteel is also the only real competition for Spence at RWB, so could probably do with another body in at the back.

A holding mid to battle with Howson, Saville, and Wing. Two strikers to test The Ass and Fletch.

GK - Stojanovic / Pears / Mejias

CB - McNair / ???
CB - Hall / Stubbs
CB - Fry / Wood

RWB - Spence / Dijksteel
LWB - Coulson / Johnson / Bola

CM - Howson / ??? / Liddle
CM - Saville / Wing
AM - Tavernier / Browne

ST - Fletcher / ???
ST - Assombalonga / ??? / Walker

Also Folarin in contention if we went for a traditional Winger system.

I think he's planning on Folarin being backup to Spence at RWB that's where he's played in the pre season games.

Folarin has the delivery/trickery/pace to be a wingback especially because we've seen Spence at various points not play due to fatigue or fade late in games might be the perfect option for late in games when Spence tires.

I like that. Dijksteel inside on a 3-5-2 seems to be a good fit for his strengths, so works out well.
