Maybe Tav is off (not for peanuts despite what Payero claims) I bet it’s 2 million base fee then the rest depends on promotion to the prem Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It can't just be me that has rarely watched McGree or not noticed him when I did watch Is he worth the reported fee? Surely spells the end for Tav spending that much 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But as all Boro fans know Gibbo goes all in when he feels there’s a real opportunity for promotion, he must be feeling that under Wilder right now like we all are 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JTG 2,267 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Can see where the tav comparisons have come from. Left footed, good engine, drives forward from midfield and gets you up the pitch. Hoping this doesn’t spell the end for Tav though. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 We did spend more than that on a midfielder that doesn't play so maybe doesn't guarantee he takes the place of anyone Link to post Share on other sites
sambaDTR 260 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Looking at McGree on youtube he looks like he could easily take Tav’s place… if Tav goes. His corners are better for starters. (Thanks to the Celtic fan who put it on)! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Albeit only highlights but Tav is the clear better footballer for me If Wilder's pushing for him though I trust him Link to post Share on other sites

I gave up watching the video after 4 minutes, he appears to show a lot of passion and determination but Tav is more composed on the ball. Maybe he is more of a new Grant Leadbitter (happy with that) after watching those clips rather than another Tav? His corners do look far better than Tavs and if he chips in with a few goals then overall on paper it is probably a tick in the plus column. Link to post Share on other sites

Howson/Boyd-Munce Crooks/Payero Tav/McGree - Payero Potentially may be going out on loan (no option to buy) if we get 2 players in and our T&C's regarding his full wages are covered. His preference is to back to Argentina but clubs can't afford his full wages but interest also coming from German and Italian clubs who can cover his 18k wages. Deal is to get him 1st team football and come back for the summer. Deal makes sense especially if we don't renew Howson contract although talks have begun on that front but it will be even further reduced terms. Not sure if people are aware but Howson's last contract extension under Warnock, he waved goodbye to 10k a week so the club could afford to sign Duncan Watmore. True reflection on what a top guy Howson is. 16 Link to post Share on other sites

BTW just had a couple of new forum members from Glasgow join up I wonder why?😉 I think there will be some banter aimed at DZ if I am honest! which is why I have approved them😁 This feels very similar when plenty of new faces arrived under Karanka and when we thought all was done suddenly more arrived. Not getting too excited as there will be twists and turns but Lundstrum could be the icing on the cake 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It's amazing what a fourth round FA Cup game against Man Utd can achieve finance wise😁 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Would others agree that we are not going to see JLS in a Boro shirt again? Would be sad to see him go but Hernandez looks a casualty in all of this. Writing on the wall for Tav now seems very possible. Payero what an inigma since he has been here but again another casualty alongside Hennandez. Hall most likely going I would suspect, when will the cull begin, sooner rather than later?

Three New centre midfielders In fairness we've spent the last 6 years playing as if we didn't have a central midfield, so it was a valid criticism. Now our style of play relies totally on having 3 high quality CMs, and we look like we might soon have 4-5. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
