He's played for two small Spanish clubs and Middlesbrough in his career. True but I doubt we'll sign a player who had a season as good as he did before he joined us unless we had a highly respected gaffer or trebled their wages Link to post Share on other sites

The reality is we are two second division sides who haven't been consistently in the prem for years and he will be using either one of us as a stepping stone I am not saying they are nailed on to. Statistically they have about 1 in 3 chance I think. But then when you look at the clubs that have/haven't managed to they have a couple of things straight off in their favour: 1. There has been no mass exodus of players. 2. They have a striker in Mitrovic who has proven goals in the championship The obvious negative is: 1. Change of manager My point in terms of them going up is they are more likely than us to do so. They are favourites in the market - which granted is again no certainty but I bet if you asked 100 people with no bias who was more likely to go up it would be pretty obvious the answer.

Robin Johnson 616 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I’m sure he has heard of London, not so sure he will know who or where Middlesbrough is. There you have your answer Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Get Muniz to Rockcliffe and let him have a round of golf, he'll soon change his mind I mean, that IS why Mr Gibson spunked all of that money on it, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Is Maja actually any good? Hasn’t his only good season came in league 1? Don’t think he even scored 20 goals that year either ? Genuine question, don’t know all that much about him bar his name. Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Rotherham press on why Wing went to Sheff Wed - they simply couldn’t compete with the financial muscle at Hillsborough. “I loved him,” Warne said. “He was the first player I tried to bring back. The lads loved him and he had a really good time here. He played really good football. “I’d like to think it is pretty obvious why he hasn’t come back here.” Link to post Share on other sites

That’s my concern really. 3 goals for Fulham in prem, 7 for Bordeaux in all comps and 17 in all comps for Sunderland and inc 1 for Bordeaux the year before. I think he will get goals and is only young but we have a distinguished history of scuppering strikers at boro so would almost expect goals to go down not up 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They are more likely, not sure anyone is arguing that but you don't need to be persuasive by bulling them up in every area and finding huge negatives or putting answers like Neil for us. All having a proven championship striker does is make him starting and showing his value less likely, they also have a manager who has never managed in the championship and arguably has never been particularly successful in England Link to post Share on other sites

Just someone who foreign players want to sign for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
