sackrobson2 371 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If we are languishing mid table then I can't see us making any signings really and I'd probably prefer to give our younger players more experience anyway. If we are genuine play off challengers then we could maybe offer a contract to the end of the season on modest terms in exchange for an automatic one year extension on significantly better terms if we get promoted. The cost would be irrelevant to us if we go up but may better tempt a good player than anything else we can offer. Link to post Share on other sites
Rishworthian 166 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Snow blind I remember 1986. I did think about a trip to Hartlepool so I could see them one last time as I wasn't expecting them to survive much beyond that game. I'd given up on them, a complete basket case. I was never going to see the Boro again. I presume "brother Gibson" will remember it too and do his best to ensure it doesn't happen again. If promotion has to wait (largely because of this disease), then it has to wait rather than not seeing the Boro again. I presume it is a choice we'd all make. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

There will be plenty of players like that who we can sign for very little money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He does have better financial offers from abroad but wants to play for us. Knows it's a risk with his injuries but thinks the upside is greater. Regarding the other offers either the football level is poor or it's in a country he doesn't really want to live. All signs point to boro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I dont think we will hear anything until next week on him. Just a hunch. Players were back in today for a light training session and Warnock back tomorrow I think Link to post Share on other sites
