I'd really hope it's midfield. But we probably need another centre back in that case, assuming Wood is going out on loan. Hall and Fry to be our starting pair and then Dijksteel and a new face to cover. I think Paddy is good at CB, but not having him in midfield feels like a waste 2 Link to post Share on other sites

More forward thinking than I'm used to from us. Just to expand on that: Banfield are in the Argentine Primera Division, classed as a Band 3 League. As he has made more than 1 appearance for them in the last year, he gets 8 points. 8/15. Domestic league appearances, he has played 62% of the available minutes (he missed two whole games due to Covid, to be safe I included these as available minutes, although I'm not sure they are). That's 5 points. 13/15 He doesn't get any points from any of the other categories as far as I can tell. Due to Argentina's high FIFA ranking, just 1 appearance at the Olympics would give him an extra 8 points minimum (not sure on the exact rules here, but this would at the very least push him into the lower band of 1-9% of international games played in), taking him well over the 15 point threshold. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,218 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Now that's an interesting potential transfer 😲 Saville leaving must take a few quid off the wage bill as well 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

mendieta420 988 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sounds like a terrible deal but if we have that kind of cash maybe the Maja deal is true? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Maja is on 35k a week at Bordeaux, he'll have to seriously lower his wage demands if we're to get him. Boro want to loan him. Personally I can't see it happening, sadly.

TheHolgate 675 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I would be shocked if a mid table french ligue 1 side were paying anyone 35k. Outside of PSG the league is financially poorer than the championship. Link to post Share on other sites
