We should be aiming for better. Any names for us to be going for? we are a championship team so a decent player for the championship is what we will be getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't quite correlate. Just because you are a championship team doesn't mean you automatically sign players that are just ok championship players. You need to aim for better to go up.

Yeah don’t get why anyone would be happy with Jones going, if we lose Doak as well then we are really short on the right which before the window opened was one of the positions we didn’t need to invest in.

Because he wasn't a starter for us and it's a good move for him. Plus if he's not good enough to be in the side for us now with Doak here he's not suddenly going to be good enough again when Doak leaves, the fact Doak is a very good player is obviously important but there is a reason we took a chance on him in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Doak, ELL, RVDB It’s not as easy as just getting players in who are all premier league ready players, the state of play is we need a mixture of both players a step above and players who are good in the division we are in, obviously it would be great to be able to fill the team with players that should be in a league above but just not going to happen, even the teams in the bottom half of premier league don’t have that. We had two players on the Right Doak who is going to be a premier league player and Jones who could step in and be good in that role we could leave this window with neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not premier league ready players. Just high quality championship players. Which Jones isn't. Forss and Doak are both better than Jones. The club have made the right decision I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAgainst 4,754 3.9k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I don't think Latte Lath will go to Leeds in this window... ...but if he does, I've been told today Mateo Joseph is likely to be heading in the opposite direction as part of the deal (as a makeweight, not a direct replacement).

Interesting, wonder if that would make him a possible summer target depending on our league status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doak is the exception he is too good for this league and if he does leave it is going to be nearly impossible to replace with someone as good. I would have rather have kept Jones and strengthened in positions we needed more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroDave4 1,427 3.3k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Well Jones goes with my blessing. Excellent player for us but I think he probably needed a fresh start. Good deal for Boro. His standout game I'll remember is against Sunderland. He absolute tortured them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be proven wrong but I think it's a good deal for us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
