Duvel 2,446 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I suppose you can view in the situation in 2 different ways, you can get angry or see the funny side. I'm past getting angry anymore, I just see the club as footballs equivalent of Faulty Towers. Not sure who the characters would be? I'm thinking Gibson as Basil, Warnock as the Major and Bauser as Manuel. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I think its perception about the direction the club is going in. Managers like Pulis and Warnock aren't that desirable to play for these days. Isn't it all linked to Gibson not wanting to do business with player's agents? No wonder players are going elsewhere because if the agent isn't getting a slice of the pie, why would they encourage their player to join the Boro? Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm guessing that all those saying "Being linked with Stewart shows how far we've fallen" have barely seen him play, and are basing that purely on one or two games they've seen him in against us. Honestly. The ****housery on here sometimes. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, if not paying millions of £ - that we don't have - to the agents of bang average Championship plodders is the way things are going to be, I don't mind it too much at all.

Seeing Sol Bamba and Stewart linked shows you how low this club has fallen and how badly this club is being managed. If it wasn’t for Warnock having so much respect for Gibson I don’t think he would have stayed on. If he was at any other club and having a transfer window like the one we are having he would have walked. It’s an absolute bloody farce. Haha im not wetting the bed i find the situation funny and tbh expected. We'll sign some players im sure. Even may throw some one boro names to in there. What's everyone's position? I play left wing so thats that position sorted 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Whether that is encouraging I arent sure!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,711 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Can we also point out that Klopp is a massive fan of Stewart? 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. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
Liquid 284 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm hoping that now we've missed out on a few of our domestic targets, we'll be forced to turn our sights to the European market. We have needed to do it for a couple of seasons now and sometimes life forces you our of your comfort zone in a mysterious yet advantageous way. Maybe we won't though, and remain stubborn in the face of an obvious wake up call. Link to post Share on other sites
