Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 It would take a minimum of 6 weeks for Bennett to be match fit assuming his ligament is fully repaired and even then he could break down again when pushed. He may have lost a yard of pace and the confidence to stick his boot in, Conversely he may be back to his best come the end of October and Wigan have a bargain but I don't think we can afford to carry passengers let alone consciously bring them in. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Unbelievable the difference to the start of the window to the end. Can’t believe it really. Having trialists pre season and feeling pretty desperate… 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Bidwell only seemed likely if Swansea could upgrade to Lowe I can't see that happening to be honest. Logically Cardiff's 3rd choice left back Ciaron Brown makes the most sense at the minute, no? Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Given the number of new faces, hopefully the next few matches being against middling sides gives them a chance to bed in before the stiffer tests come round. It is very likely a couple of them will take a bit to adjust so hopefully people won't slam them for everything they do wrong for whatever reason. Optimism is not the natural order for Boro fans .. but I like it.. not a lot but 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Roughly 4 hours to sign LB cover and Prem loan striker/wide forward. Most productive window I can remember. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JTG 2,267 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Maybe Siliki is seen as LB cover, I think he's played there for Rennes a few times. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I honestly believe we might end up with another signing because I genuinely think we were banking on Bennett coming back, so him going elsewhere is going to have thrown us for a loop. Just a gut feeling. Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianBoro 765 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Great window so far. Or as Prince Léa might say, great fenêtre! what happened to the bedwetters? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
JTG 2,267 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I doubt we've only just found out he's going to Wigan. I'd imagine we've at least had a bit of time to come up with a contingency plan. Link to post Share on other sites

boroie 484 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lads, I don't think I've even visited the forum since February. The only thing mighty about the Boro was the mighty depression they inflicted on me all through the 2nd half of last season. I have no idea who most of the signings are, and never heard of this Scott fella at all before a few mins and a quick google ago. Seems quite an amazing window, but why/how on earth do we have sammy ameobi back again?? Err.. anyway hoping all these players are as good as ye think they are! (note of caution: January transfer window was also greeted as a rousing success. That did not end well). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
