I would also like us to look at Ryan Hardie from Blackpool too. Think he would be a great 60-70 minute sub option. Thought he was excellent at Argyle last season. He's rejoined Plymouth again the other week on another season-long loan. Link to post Share on other sites

Just checked who his agency is, turns out it's Warnock's most used agency USM that adds alot of credence to this link for me since we know how Warnock operates. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/unique-sports-management/beraterfirma/berater/4142 It's the agency his son works for I believe. Yay! Link to post Share on other sites

The bit above about the scouts showing him two CBs with the best stats and him saying no when he looked at them play - can’t imagine Woodgate or others daring to do that! He also sanctioned a £6m deal for Gary Madine. I wonder if that was one that Cardiff scouts had recommended to him or not. I can't think of much worse than a manager getting agents to find players and I really don't see how that improves anything at our club in the short or long term. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah sounds like a deal that benefits the manager/agency more than the club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Is that what he’s saying our new policy is though? No scouts, just agents recommending players? Link to post Share on other sites

On an unrelated note. Boro's pre-season training camp is Lux Park in Liskeard, which is 10 minutes from me. Part of the reason I'm pleased it's Warnock in charge is because of the traditional Warnock pre-season tour of Cornwall! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's a worry seems a little murky at best. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/do-not-question-my-agent-son-s-role-says-neil-warnock-v8wp63kgl Warnock did say in his written media conference he's given agents our head scout Sam Jackson's phone number so they can give him their clients info and he'll follow up with Sam if there's any that fit what we want. That Guardian story on Sala, Warnock, private jets and Willie Mckay stank of corruption I have to say. Link to post Share on other sites

No scouts, just agents recommending players? Not entirely. He does reach out to agents he knows and has them recommend players, but the scouting team are also out there looking at different markets too, so it's a mix of both. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Warnock said that our no.1 loan target from the Prem said that they will get back to us late in August. Then said that that’s too late. Link to post Share on other sites

No scouts, just agents recommending players? That would be pretty worrying if it is how we're selecting our signings. Agents are hardly going to say "here have this fella, he's rubbish". It's their job to sell their clients not pick players who would fit into our team! Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus wept. 😂 21 minutes ago, 2plus2 said: He doesn't owe us anything, contractually. But I do think that morally he did. OK, so we can both agree he didn't owe us anything contractually. That's a given. Just as we have contractually no reason to owe him anything at the end of this contract, it's done, it's over and that's that. So what do we expect from him when we ask him to stay? An agreement based on morality? Why? Can you give an example of where we've gone above and beyond morally to make his time at Middlesbrough better? If not, why should he make a decision based on morality? Link to post Share on other sites
