That wouldn't surprising on the basis of last season, he was a liability for most of it, and only so much of it can be blamed on playing on the left. But he's still very young. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It was noticeable at the end of last season how slow Fry is. We could do with someone more mobile there. It will now be Wheater, Gibson and Fry that have gone to make up for cock ups elsewhere. A real shame as they all seem to have wanted to stay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I absolutely am not advocating forcing a player out. It feels even worse when he’s a local lad. But.... Is it financially astute to keep one of our more valuable players on the bench all season? If Fry leaving enabled us to get 2 players in would that be such a bad thing? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds to me more like it will allow us to get Gibson and that's about it. I can't imagine Fry will be on massive wages so it's not like in that respect we'll be desperate to get him off the books, unlike Gibson who was probably on Prem wages when we sold him.

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Blackburn Rovers have made a move for AA Gent goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski. The two clubs are understood to have agreed a fee for the player. That rules them out of going for Pears. Link to post Share on other sites

Am I right in thinking Fry signed a five year deal back when there was a few more prem teams sniffing around him? Probably on decent terms too. *edit found the link, he signed a 5 year deal in 2018 under Tony Pulis. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/dael-fry-signs-new-boro-contract Edited August 21, 2020 by Johnmfc81 Link to post Share on other sites
Rishworthian 166 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Wood and Stubbs are interesting as Wood seems to be very highly rated but wrapped in cotton wool. Stubbs is not seen in the same league it seems but I don't know why. Stubbs fought through a relegation season with Notts county and did very well apparently but rarely gets a mention as far as next season is concerned. Solid is a good expression for him maybe rather than spectacular but I don't see either taking over form Van Dyke any time soon Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’m sure even if Fry didn’t start the season as first choice CB he would still get plenty of games. It’s a long slog of a season. Warnock was clear that our squad needs major work - barely any defenders, too many of the same type of MF and weak up front. Replacing Shotton, Friend, Ayala and Fry with Gibson and Hall? Does that strengthen us at the back? We’re one injury away from a crisis surely. I don’t know. I just don’t like the thought of forcing a local lad out to a team where he’ll be on the bench and who his replacement couldn’t get a game for 2 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,957 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Should probably say as well they have said Seff Wed have had a bid accepted for Windass. Apparently several clubs have had an offer accepted. Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I think that if we have any money we should be going in for windass and lowe at Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites
