Boro 86 511 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Blimey there are some holier than thous out today. Young lad who has got a bird off the tele....and as for that Grealish lad we once nearly signed. 0h and don’t start me on Woodgate and Downing ..disgrace to the area both of them!! perhaps we give the people in charge a bit of credit lads and lasses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Would you sign Ronaldo and Messi if they were Covid positive and french kissing? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe because George friend isn’t from the area? Just because they go out with lads they grew up with who might look like wrong uns dosnt meen that there up to no good. Downing grew up in pally park and still knocks about with lads from his childhood. You’ve got to respect that. But people see them with these people and just think he’s a wrong un aswell. I bet your one of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Boro Badger 87 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Connolly looks like a good move for me, pacey with an eye for goal and a little bit of feistyness. On paper perfect for our system. I thought he would be back up to Sporar, but I think he likes to play in the left channel so maybe they can play together in rotation with Watmore and one more signing. Wilder will take absolutely zero crap from any player so I’m not worried about anything like that. Hope we’ve negotiated a buy clause just in case this turns out really well after we’ve taking a little bit of a risk giving one of our signing slots away. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Glad yous arnt in charge of recruitment. Wouldn’t sign anyone You wouldn't happen to be one of those folks who laugh when clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea etc. spends hundreds of millions on big-name players, but end up with a collection of individuals, instead of a team and start losing games they would normally expect to win? I'm pretty sure most of us do...don't we? Thats why a player's personality / attitude etc. is just as (if not more) important than their level of skill. As I said before, if Wilder & Scott are satisfied then all we can do is defer to their judgement. But if players have had disciplinary problems in the past, it is reasonable to be at least slightly concerned.

I bet your one of them. I think Downing seems a decent lad for what it's worth. By your logic every Player is a wrong un in their home towns? Here's a hint, maybe it's because George Friend is a mature, well rounded, decent lad regardless of where he comes from. Link to post Share on other sites

They're both close to retirement 2. Would want way too much money 3. Wouldn't enjoy the wonders of Teesside life 4.

I’m just saying why I think people believe that sort of thing. But by your logic we would have a team of Jehovah's Witnesses playing week in week out. People make mistakes all the time. Not just players. I just like to give people a chance before judge them. I’ve met many people who I have thought are *** or heard rumours about and they turn out to be nice lads.
