I wouldn’t change anything at the minute I think the midfield 3 are doing well but obviously Howson isn’t a long term option.

The jury is still out on Payero for me. He needs to take his chance when it come.

I honestly think we will see the best of him next year/season. He will have a full preseason with us, will know the language better, and the league.

No @Johnmfc81 he won’t know the Premier League initially. He will have to get used to it the same as the rest of the team 😃

I hope so it took the little fella time to settle in.

Tbf it's a difficult one right now as all three CMs are playing well. Payero when given his chance needs to shine.

Interested to know though out of the 3 currently in the team which would you drop? 

 

I wouldn’t but just thought it was an interesting note to see the difference in attitude because people are behind Wilder

yes its really obvious the players are behind him. like it was clearly obvious our players hated being forced to play the way warnock wanted.

howson is a great example of a professional who does what the managers asks. see how his game has changed? all he used to do was hide and hoof percentage balls over fullbacks heads. now he plays the ball is always available. its like night and day comparing him under each manager.

Apparently Leeds are selling Rapinha for about 40 million. That would give them enough money and a bit of desperation for us to fleece them for Tav if they want him. 

[Rat catcher 293]

Tav is an enigma, he has had more than sufficient time to prove himself. He is no a longer a "youngster". If Leeds did come in with a good offer then we would have a serious decision to make. 

[Borodane 6,301]

The good thing is that we aren’t pressed to selling Tav, so any club that comes in we can press. The best situation is if Leeds and Newcastle both come in and they outbid each other.

True' we want at least £50 for him.

I hope we have better negotiators employed.

The ‘exciting Argentinian wonder kid no one had ever heard of’ not playing for Warnockosaurus because he is a little Britainer was an easy stick to beat Warnock with. 

I am interested to see how he does when/if he gets a run in the team.

Not sure it was because Warnock is/was a "Little Britain-er". After all, he didn't mind playing Bola, Dijksteel, Morsy, Ikpeazu etc.

Think it was simply that his brand of football didn't require skilful players, who are good on the ball.

In theory Payero should be better suited to playing under Wilder, but as has been said, he'll need to wait for his chance, then grab it with both hands.

I dunno - £50 is a significant improvement on a bag of Quavers and a handful of Quality Street...or whatever the previous estimates were. 😁

We still want to get at least half a pear drop for Spence. Spence probably still has his lift sorted for him wherever he goes too, plenty of Boro fans who'd say they'd drive him themselves. I think whoever owns a scooter will win that privilege.

When he got into a bit of fitness he looked a step above. It's a shame he keeps getting injured, he's probably not used to the physicality.

It was certainly what people were saying about Warnock and the implication was Payero wasn’t playing because he was a foreigner.

Warnocks actual history of signings and playing people doesn’t back up the theory but when things are going bad truth doesn’t matter.
