GrimsbyBoro 1,956 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I read yesterday that Andy Carrol is on £1,000 a week at Reading due to the FA sanctions. Really surprised we didn’t make a move for him under Warnock. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 @diggerlad07 have you heard anything about the alleged FC Copenhagen links that were bandied about in the summer and that we had been to some of their games. It sounds like they are expecting to do some wheeling and dealing. I remember that someone mentioned we were interested in Jonas Wind and I never thought - and still don't think- that he is a realistic option, but he has since lost a bit of form and have now said that he could be willing to move on in the january window. There haven't really been any clubs mentioned and I think the general feeling is that he is now available for around 7-9 mil. pounds. With the way we are set up now under Wilder I reckon he would fit right in. Technically very good and a hard worker. A bit like Sporar but a lot stronger and much better with his head. He would certainly be an upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I remember mentioning him last year as someone that I had heard mentioned, but that was before Scott, so have no idea if it would still apply. At that price, it would probably be a bit of a stretch, but I suppose might be just about doable.. what is his attitude/injury history etc? Link to post Share on other sites

Never stops running and likes to drop a bit deep to participate. Very hard to get the ball from. As an opposing fan he can come across as a.bit of someone who believes his own hype too much. Muchael Uhre will also be available on the cheap as his contract runs out in the summer. Last seasons league top scorer and leading the charts again. I’ll be honest I never rated him but he’s come on leaps and bounds these last two years. His team plays 3-5-2 too so he would fit right in. But if the same career trajectory as Pukki has at Brondby. Blistering pace and has developed his finishing very well. Could be a fee as low as 1-1,5 million pounds. This is his chance to move abroad so I doubt he is signing a new contract. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sounds like we'll be in the market for a keeper (or two) unless someone impresses Wilder this month. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/19754120.chris-wilder-issues-challenge-middlesbroughs-goalkeepers/ Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Henderson nor Ramsdale had a good pass accuracy whilst at Sheffield which then improved when they left for other clubs so would assume he prefers a no-nonsense shot stopper who gets the ball up the pitch quickly.

Changing Times 12,211 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I just want a goalkeeper who can do goalkeepery stuff well. Not bothered about the rest of it really. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He said he just wants one that "stops the ball going into the net" 😁 After this season I'm inclined to agree 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Boss your area, control the back line, save shots, prevent goals. If they can pass, fine it’s a bonus but I don’t rate passing a priority. I see team progression as when Tav decision making improves, stops taking the extra touch, shot accuracy and scoring goals. Link to post Share on other sites
