Tav, Johnson and Coulson? None of them are wingers bar Johnson. Personally think we need two more wingers more then a striker and holding midfielder. I would like to see a creative player as well, but who is available and who would actually come? Link to post Share on other sites

Thats not our job to decide though, we have people at the club we pay to figure that out, so us sitting and saying we don't know who's available and who would come is no excuse for our professional team to not manage to get the players we need in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure. Haven’t looked properly tbh. But that’s not our job, that’s down to the club and the recruitment team, to first spot a player and then secondly get it over the line. Personally I’d love to have Roberts back for the season. I’m sure there might be some other creative players that we might be able to loan aswell. Link to post Share on other sites

If there is competition then they arent going to join Boro. Simple as that 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Any scouting department can come up with good players, they need to come up with players who are affordable and realistic. I think they may struggle to come up with creative, pacey wingers who will sign for Boro in the championship on ~15k a week. Sounds like we went for Murphy and missed out(?)

There’s two types of clubs he’s joins, middling size clubs like us and Cardiff and turns them around and sets sights at promotion, or clubs like Rotherham where he literally went to keep them up and that was it. There’s no way he signs here without guarantees of investment and significant recruitment. I think we are more of a Rotherham these days. I can’t see us getting anywhere near the top of the league.

We obviously said no. He never played for us again. I assumed that was why we took action against him for breach of contract. so with 6 month left of a contract any foreign club is free to offer him a contract themselves. Then ayala can accepted one? which he clearly never as did as still here. How can he refuse to play while under contract wft he playing at there like? and if the club wanting him then isnt signing him now, then he looks like a bit of a plonker missing our relegation fight after several years of loyal service. maybe big danny thought woody was *** to eh lol Link to post Share on other sites

What am I saying thats wrong? Boro are a tough sell at the moment. If there was a player torn between a number of clubs how would you convince them to join over a Stoke, Hudds or Birmingham?
