From a limited pool of available players we could afford. I'd seen Connolly for Brighton and thought it would be a great signing, but hindsight is 20/20 4 Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 683 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 International keeper who city bought for ~£6m. You would think he is going to have some ability. I'm happy, squad is coming together. Now the biggies - strikers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

As poor as Wilder's Striker choices have been his Keeper choice has a far better success rate. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Reports say we beat other championship clubs to signing Steffen, I wonder whether one of those clubs was Burnley who are also probably looking for a GK. Thats a huge compliment to us if Pep is happy for Steffen to come to Middlesbrough. He could have easily linked up with Kompany. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's a fair point, I guess I just can't get on board with thinking it's a great signing simply because he's coming from a great team. Not saying it's a bad signing, just the jury is out for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ultimately the jury will be out on almost every signing that we make, that's the lottery of the transfer window unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites

If we can’t get excited over signing Man City’s number two then we may as well give up. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

PompeySmog 109 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 American footy gadge was on talkshite yesterday talking about the keepers. Lazio and fenyoord, ajax were all interested in him apparently. He was raving about him and the other lad Turner. He keeps him out of US team and Arsenal just paid 6m for him, he'll need to be on it to keep his place at Qatar so could be a good move. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully there's a purchase option in the contract for when we go up with 101 points. 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
