Brunners 7,982 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 3 minutes ago, Humpty said: Yes...this is a tricky one. Limited funds make every purchase incredibly valuable though, particularly in our position. Coulson has form at left back. An existing squad member. Would Coulson do a better or at least similar job to a player that’s of a sub standard to Bola...in my opinion yes. Buying a back up in that scenario is a waste of money; even more so if we’re releasing Marvin Johnson. Except NW doesn't think Coulson is a LB. Also, what you're doing there is assuming we couldn't get a backup that was < Bola but > Coulson, which seems a stretch, with the defensive performances Coulson has put in when played there.

Humpty 3,260 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Me? I’m not upset...not by a long shot. Him & Wilson just devalue my enjoyment of the forum by their sniping, that’s all 😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 What about all the other people that disagree with you? Why do you single out me and Wilson, is it solely because we happen to disagree with you the most? If you consider someone disagreeing with you as "sniping" then I don't know what to tell you Humpty, that's a you problem. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,279 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The mental gymnastics involved with taking his experience of being a WUM since his return and trying to paint us in that light instead is superb, 10/10. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel as long as Warnock is here, the club will only ever be able to plan for one season at a time...which already seems to be severely limiting the players we can attract. We've got the double whammy of the type of football he wants us to play, coupled with the possibility he could be gone next season. Which is why I'm desperately hoping next season is his last. Boro really need to get a manager in who will commit to at least 3 seasons, (barring things going badly wrong), who can help Gibson plot out a roadmap of how to take the club forward. At the moment, the club is like a gig economy worker, living from one paycheque to the next. Would we need to rip up and start again? if yiou have a good basis of a squad, then that can be added to rather than dismantled and starting again every time Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,339 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I get what Humpty's saying. Our starting XI isn't currently good enough to get promoted, so signing a back up left back isn't going to improve that. I'm not a fan of signing 'squad players' either. Always look to sign better than what you already have, and make the current player your squad player, at least that way you make an improvement. Taking it to a stupid extreme, we could sign six left backs, and have plenty of cover for that position. But if none of them are better than what we already have then the actual team hasn't improved at all, has it? You ultimately max out at whatever your best XI is, regardless of the strength of the squad. Reading the Gazette the other day, they seemed to suggest that our defence and midfield were fine, and it was just the attacking positions that needed improvement. I think that's *** myself, and I hope it doesn't reflect thinking within the club. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
