edinboro 1,245 2k Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Echo going in quite hard on Carrick and some of the players this morning. Quite unusual for our local press. Be interesting to see what action we see this week. There is clearly a need to upgrade in several positions. The big fear is this January ends up like last January - where Crooks and Rogers left and we just didn't replace them. If Jones and Lath are this season's equivalent and they decide to not invest I think the second half of the season could be really quite dire. I'm not even thinking about Doak leaving. That would be a disaster as things stand. I reckon they need to be looking at Giles - just from an attacking perspective, a striker, a midfielder and it seems a centre back - too much noise for one of Clarke or Edmondson not to be leaving. The Portsmouth game is huge. They are decent enough at home and it will be a tough game. I really hope we can get Morris on the pitch for this one. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/24850612.fa-cup-defeat-highlights-key-problems-middlesbrough-solve/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty blunt for a local journalist who is hoping to keep on good terms with his contacts at the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks volumes about Carrick’s failure to be adaptable and work out how to unpick defences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmo Kink Army 1,966 3.6k Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We all know the first bid is usually lower but my guess is we accept around 22 million with add ons for lath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one’s saying that I reckon Just obviously an attacking LB with an unbelievable delivery is going to help in the home games Especially one that has already proven to be top quality with that same team and manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're allegedly offering £15m there and that's already £2m over the record fee paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCider24 16,196 21.2k Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 🤞🏻 Fingers crossed that Liverpool don't decide to offer to loan him out to one of them for a few million instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinemrippers 1,064 1.1k Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I honestly don’t think Giles will make a jot of difference. He was with us when we played at pace and scored for fun. The last few matches of that season where our form dropped a bit, he wasn’t effective. Ship has sailed imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Doak to be sorted this week, as since it’s out of our control I’d rather him leave and we know and have time to bring a replacement in, as this could drag on to deadline day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
