Duvel 2,446 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 56 minutes ago, Tobermory Whitby said: He's not going to have a decent year though, he has never scored more than 15 league goals in the Championship. He's only managed more than 15 once, in League One. He'll never be good enough for a team hopeful of promotion. In my opinion. If he brought anything else to the team apart from goals it would be a different matter, but he rarely does. Without scrolling back through the thread I'm assuming you're talking Britt. If you are I can't really argue with your assessment to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) If anyone hasn't watched Warnocks interview with the written press its great https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/watch-neil-warnocks-insights-to-the-media He speaks alot about the following recruitment department and how the process is working . He says we are looking in France and Spain for players that fit his criteria via agents he has used. He also said that we are going after our first choice targets and giving them 24 hours to decide. Another thing was we have 3 or 4 Premier league players on our loan list. One won't let us know until after 25th of August which he was like to long. Some players from League one and two are on the list Wants 4/5 good signings Spent all day yesterday with the recruitment team going through the list and narrowing it down Keeps calling Bausor & Gibson to crack on. Said the scouting department recommend two centre backs with the best defensive stats 1v1 duels in Europe but after watching the footage he said there not good enough. He said we have a lot of full time members in the recruitment team which is a good thing and something new to him. They are just striking a balance of what he wants and what they recommend I tried to summerise what he said for those that can't view but there is alot more :) Side not the questions the gazette ask were pathetic. Talking about Woodgate and Leo. Nothing on recruitment or plans behind the scenes. Edited August 5, 2020 by Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 3 Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Worth saying that in what was overall probably Britt's worst season as a Boro player last year, Warnock got him playing some of the best all-round stuff we've seen from him in 3 years in those final 8 games, and he managed 5 goals in that time as well. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Bamba's agent is well connected in France has alot of players for our budget hopefully Warnock means him when he talks about using our scouting department to scout a specific agents clients. Just please don't tell me he's still using the Mckay's to broker and find him European players. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/22/willy-mckay-agent-emiliano-sala-cardiff Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Was an obvious target for us very similar to Moore, 6 foot 4 has a decent shift of pace for his size and can't deny his form, on a free I will absolutely take him. Just checked who his agency is, turns out it's Warnock's most used agency USM that adds alot of credence to this link for me since we know how Warnock operates. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/unique-sports-management/beraterfirma/berater/4142 Edited August 5, 2020 by Jamie-H Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Has had 1 good season in his career, and his name would be a nightmare to listen to Maddo trying to pronounce. It's a no from me. Link to post Share on other sites
JMC91 280 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Not a link in any way but if we're looking at Strikers that have done it in lower divisions and are available, Tyler Walker from Forest wouldn't be a bad addition to Britt and Fletcher. 22 Goals in 46 goals for Mansfield in League 2 a couple of seasons ago and 14 in 29 for Lincoln in League 1 last season. Only scored 4 goals in the Championship in 19 games for Forest, but only 8 starts. Seems like he's not going to get a chance at Forest and there's a bit of talk of him going back on loan to league one Link to post Share on other sites
