Sol should have really but because he hadn't made an appearance anywhere I think my eyes must have glazed over him. 4 minutes ago, Mr_Maz said: the defender at everton, who they signed from Norwich. he was with us for a while Year between 2011-2012, came from York before that, went back to York after it. Think he must not have actually played for our U18s or U23s because he didn't show up in transfermarkts list, which is why he was missed. There's probably a few others like that then scattered around that played a season or two pre u18s. Just now, Old Codger said: remember hearing Cameron Jerome say that he realised that he had a chance of making it as a pro while he was at Middlesbrough, but think he was at a few other clubs as a youngster as well Yeah, that's why I didn't include him because he had multiple youth clubs across the football league before signing for Cardiff. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it, I don't know how many games they play in Saudi Arabia per season but he only played 60 something times in 3 years so first glance suggests he's still injury prone..

uncle_rico 387 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Interesting that the official website lists Olusanya as as midfielder rather than a striker or forward. I know I’m looking into it too much, but maybe we’ll be looking to loan another striker too? https://www.mfc.co.uk/teams/middlesbrough/toyosi-olusanya Link to post Share on other sites

So I don't think Warnock will play him up front, no. But he has also said in recent days how impressed he is with Coburn so may well just keep him in and around the squad instead of bringing in another striker after Sporar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's dangerous reading into Warnock's public comments but he has mentioned previously that after Sporar there would be another striker later in the window likely to be a Prem loan and as recently as this week he said we would need another striker IF Akpom leaves. Going off Warnock's history if we do get Sporar with Uche I imagine the third option he'll want will be a pacier option to run the channels later in games like Vassell at Cardiff. Right now I'd say Coburn definitely has more ability than Tyrone O'Neill but he doesn't have the England youth team pedigree of a Walker or Fewster so I'd personally be surprised if he doesn't end up on loan in League 2, national conference or the Scottish Championship come September.

TLF10 4,496 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Cheers @BoroJake. Rather it was a permanent but beggars can't be choosers. Albeit a loan could be a blessing is disguise as he is likely to return next summer under a new manager. So if he does well could be good news for us. And yes am trying to see the positives in loaning him out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
