RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Just wasting our time. We've got four weeks left and we need about eight players. The guy chose Fulham so clearly we ain't his first option so *** him off. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,886 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Tbf if he is on a similar wage to what Payero was on it'll be f'all. Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand the players doing it but less so a manager. I think it’s because of covid normally he would just sign something the fans have but now doesn’t want to pass pens and paper back and forth Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt we're many players first choice, we'd be cutting off our nose to spite our face if we avoided players who weren't desperate to come to Teesside. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

He's had one year in the past 5 that good. That's hardly a "league above". A league above is your description. Nothing in the past 5 years suggests that. Most people thought Marv was solidly average last year - and Ameobi is rarely that good. I didn't say he was a league above to be fair, I just question picking out individual seasons to make comparisons when they have both played over 100 championship games. He has literally played in the league above mind, if that's anything to go by Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if you only want players who we are their first choice then people can't complain when we get players like Ameobi Link to post Share on other sites

It's not necessarily a waiting game though. Their positioning has to be: we stand by our bid; we aren't backsliders, we are honourable people and you can trust us to keep our promises. The deal ain't dead until contracts get signed, with whoever 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I then merely compared their last season, suggesting this was not the case. Then they said look at other seasons. Which I did, with Ameobi's last 5 years all being rubbish, bar one. And then you popped up, though apparently you agree that Ameobi is not "a league above" Johnson, so it's unclear why you are worried about which year of his career I'm cherry picking.

boro-unger 3,817 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I don't care if Boro get Muniz, I just hope Fulham miss out on him 😄 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Makes me think it probably isn’t true I think it's just a poor translation. I think Fulham actually equalled our offer, then because we dropped out of the running, we are now (apparently) technically equalling their offer. Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I just cannot see Ameobi scoring half a dozen goal or playing more than a dozen full games. Shows the level we have fallen to. I would rather push one of our young ones rather than rely on the likes of Ameobi. Link to post Share on other sites

Very few of our current (or indeed former) players would have chosen Middlesbrough of all the clubs in the world. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He's mid-table to bottom-half Championship player. FIne as a backup option or on a bench. But not as a starter. His contribution isn't there. Link to post Share on other sites
