Humpty 4,475 10k Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Jamie Jones is here as an emergency keeper, to help with and flesh out goalkeeping numbers in training. I'd be very surprised if we rely on him and an U18 for 5-7 games of the season...particularly when it's such a pivotal position for the way we play.

MMC 1,053 4.2k Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Have to say picking up Glover is seeming a really weird signing. You'd probably want your second keeper to be available to fill in when you know your first choice is going to be unavailable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManGravz 2,012 6k Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 With all the talk about McNair's contract I thought I would double check who else was approaching the end of their contract.... Could we possibly target a long term Howson replacement in January ready for the summer or do we reckon he will sign another year? I imagine Barlaser will step into the 1st team if he does leave but we would still need another midfielder in for cover - probably 2 as O'Brien's loan will end also. Will we also see the end of Dijksteel? Clearly unfancied and entering the last 18 months of his contract. With Smith's contract also up next year it could be the time to start looking for a long term right back if Carrick currently sees Van Den Berg as more of a long term CB solution. If we get a new RB in then VdB is able to move into the centre, with Clarke coming back as cover it could also spell the end of McNair's tenure I think Coulson will be sold in Jan now we have both Engel and Bangura too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that he was watched at the u21 game in the international break. I would imagine he is on the Radar of a lot of Clubs if for no other reason than playing for the U21's. I can't see us selling him in January unless of course the offer is far too good to turn down but even so I can't see a rem Club splashing serious money in January on a Championship player, as good as he is he isn't at the level yet of saving someone from relegation from the Premiership.

Based on what we've seen, he was probably the runner up in that competition. First prize, a new Xbox. Runner-up prize, a goalkeeping contract with the Boro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLF10 5,307 7k Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I am going to exercise my inner “newyaddion” and predict my ideal January transfer window: Incomings: 1. Right Back: Ben Johnson Permanent 2. Centre Back: Scott McKenna Loan 3. New Striker: Not decided who but Loan 4. Lewis O'Brien - Permanent. Despite his injury I want him as a long term Howson replacement. Outgoings: 1. Paddy: If we get a new RB and CB hopefully can get a £1m+ for him. 2. Coulson: Permanent outgoing 3. Gilbert: Loan 4. Dijksteel: If he does not get much of a look in between now and Jan then he never will. Permanent outgoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
