I'm still worried about Morsy as another championship club could easily hijack the deal. They could, but he wants to come here and work with Warnock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianBoro 765 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Morsy wonât be signing today. Heâs busy celebrating his 29th birthday!  Link to post Share on other sites

Just a good fit Have to admit I never thought Britt was the captain type so fair play, looking forward to seeing what warnock can do with him over a full season.  Link to post Share on other sites

AllBoro10 2,235 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Donât see what is taking so long with this Bettinelli deal. Itâs like the club are punishing us fans for the leak. Just get it done already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianBoro 765 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Canât be bothered with work so decided to add to the S!ht thatâs spouted on here using my lyrical skills. i present you the next big hit on the terraces, to the tune of Amy Winehouseâs Rehab:  Heâll stick it in the back of your net, Itâs Yaya Sa-no-go Heâs big and heâs black, Heâll skin your centre back, cos heâs not slow, slow, slow Heâs holding a high line, And Neil Warnock thinks heâs fine, Heâs gonna score a hatful this year Itâs Yaya Sa-no-go! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,734 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Boro speaking to Hall during Woodgate's tenure and Warnock speaking to Hall when being offered the Boro job are not mutually exclusive scenarios. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Iâm interpreting Warnock giving Assombalonga the captains armband as being partially influenced by trying to entice him into signing a new contract here. Him and Fletcher are both out of contact at the end of this season, and both of them seem to get on with each other on and off the pitch, so Iâm thinking Warnock will be looking at the bigger picture of trying to get them two to commit to new deals here as we simply canât afford to let them leave on free transfers. Assombalongaâs heavy wages are going to be a huge obstacle to overcome, but him being appointed captain will only help our chances. Warnock would find it easier to justify giving Assombalonga higher wages than the standard wage structure for his captain. If agents of other players argue that their player should get wages close to the clubâs top earner such as Assombalonga, Warnock could justify it as him being the clubs captain, but the top wage for players who are not the captain will remain at the same lower level. I may be over-thinking it but I think Warnock is being clever with this. Edited September 10, 2020 by p_mards 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Clever idea to give Britt the armband because he knows that with the extra responsibility he will be far more involved in all passages of play and lead by example. Would suggest far more goals from him this season 1 Link to post Share on other sites
