It makes no sense if the whole reason he's here is to get us through cutting costs. Exactly the same way it didn't make sense when we paid Pulis a fortune to do it. Just seen your other response, nvm hah. Just trying to look at it from different angles Link to post Share on other sites

We seem active in recruiting for the younger teams. When you look at the First team pics A few have been added from the u23s. That said we cannot throw more of them in until we add a few with more experience, steel and aggression. Link to post Share on other sites

Barnsley, Birmingham, Luton and Huddersfield all finished below us, three of them have signed 1 player and Birmingham have signed 4. The transfer window still has a few weeks to go yet.

Brunners 7,982 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Leko is the only one I'm a bit bummed by, at 1m he seems like great value. Link to post Share on other sites

So the fact still remains he rejected us for another club, whatever the reasons behind it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tobermory 101 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 58 minutes ago, tmcc said: seen alot of post of people saying "dont worry most clubs arnt signing people", here the problem with that. we have the joint smallest squad in the championship, only level with wycombe, and heres why our situation is worse, of the 20 players in the squad, 9 are 22 years old or younger. in fact were the 3rd youngest squad in the championship. So were not only the smallest squad in the league, but also one of the youngest, add to this the fact we barely survived relegation last season and were one of the lowest scoring teams. we've lost 9 players who were in an around the first team and brought in one. From my prospective the outlook is pretty worrying. finally, all though i agree all clubs are in the same situation and struggling in the market currently,, the situation and set up differs from club to club, and i dont think theres a club in the league in worse situation than Middlesbrough right now, couple this with our poor track record of signings over the last few seasons and i see no cause for optimism. You never win anything with kids. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,557 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 its easy to be miffed off at hearing players are turning us down over wage negotiations after wanting to come here. but screw them, players have far to much power now. even average and shiite players are holding clubs to ransom. they are all greedy selfish tossers. if we bow down to them we'd end up in a bigger mess financially than we already are. i'm glad we fob them off for being to greedy. let some other mug club pay over the odds for average run of the mill dross. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
