Essuuaitch 330 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 12 hours ago, FamilyBoro said: I can’t remember when we have been this ‘lucky’ with a player sale. As others have said big money for a player that hasn’t been in our plans for all of last season and I’m sure he went to Forest on deadline day last minute which could be why they never negotiated a loan to buy agreement at a much lower price! Also not forgetting that we were able to pull more revenue in January by loosely threatening to recall him. it really is mad luck how much we have made from this player in the last 12 months and could even get better if he pushes on at Spurs. id deffo call the sale of brad jones lucky 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no way he would have been a starter this season so unlikely to have signed a new contract so from that point of view we had to sell. Oh mate I’m agreeing that we should sell instead of losing for a free. My point was that it was the right thing to do, as Fry was playing first team football for boro in the championship, 2+ years ahead of wood. That being said, I think there is a good player in there and he is only 20 after all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I knowJones is a starter but we do need cover Think with Lenihan seemingly coming in that gives us more options, it frees up Dijksteel to cover there if needed. I'm more concerned about the left wingback spot as it stands. We're pretty unbalanced in attack due to not having someone of a similar ilk attacking wise to Jones. Personally I'd love us to be looking at players in the mould of Ryan Giles (Wolves) and Conor Grant (Plymouth) for that spot. Edit: Forgot Fisher was still on our books! If we get any interest I could see him leaving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Regarding RB links. That chap at Talksport linked us with Jack Stacey of Bournemouth along with Gavin Kilkenny. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Think it is high time we are made aware of what future Ameobi has with Boro moving ahead and can we be sure that Fisher has a future with us? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like a perfect fit for our style. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Gayle isn't happening and apparently Woods likes balloons too Not saying that's why he was sold, just putting it out there. Link to post Share on other sites

DevKWat 2,365 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Gyokeres and Armstrong were my first choice anyway so if that’s the plan I’m fine with it 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If he comes in it won't be as first choice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
