But this is modern football, and that seems to be the way it goes. Yeah I can see both sides but I think goalscorers are much harder to come by than wing backs, that’s why we need to get it right. I could be an expensive mistake Link to post Share on other sites

I could be an expensive mistake Yep, that's why usually they are more expensive. But I agree we have spent big money on strikers in the past, which some didn't pay off, but quite a few did. Fingers crossed who ever we sign can bag a few for us. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that’s the point I was trying to make in regards to we’ve spent a lot in the past. I don’t think we will see a 20+ goal striker even though wilder said he will expect that, the fact he chops and changes the front 2 quite often aswell won’t help. But if we are looking at predominantly 3 main strikers who will rotate you want at least 40 between them minimum. Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rocket 244 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Social Media is a bigger deal these days. The people that run them have the club's reputation on the line every time they post. A deal could still happen, but I bet they do know. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,444 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'd be happy with Armstrong and Gayle as our first choice front 2, obviously doesn't solve the problem long term but would be huge upgrade on what we had last season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The Boro admin will know who we're signing a few hours before we announce them. Most teams have tweets scheduled to come out at certain times and also have multiple tweets made for a possible outcome ready. Link to post Share on other sites

You need either a workhorse like Gyokeres or a more linkup type like Piroe to go with either of those. Don't think they'd work as a two. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,484 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Dwight "Chris" Gayle? 🙃 Dont think its an announcement. Just a bit of fun. Crooksy always looks amusing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
