BoroYorkshireFan 16 380 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I've said it before but I'd be keen for Giles again - it may just be my rose tinted glasses but he was one of my favourite players from the 22/23 team and if we can get him back to his best for a cut price deal we should be all over it We've tried to replace him with 3 different 'unknown' signings and none have worked, Borges best form came at LCB and I'd rather play him there next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Giles, but it's time to move on if Carrick is staying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could end up with signing another Engel though and then we're back to the same old debate and issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has little defensive capabilities and cant head a ball. He has done little since Carricks first season and Hull would rub their hands in glee if they could dump him on Boro. Sometimes you just have to move on. Its the same with the insane reasoning on keeping Carrick. I realise you dont know what you will get instead but you cant just stay as you are because of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurhamRed 2,300 4.9k Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If we get giles for practically a free it's not too bad of a deal full pre season get his confidence back he could be effective again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj south 725 1.7k Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I reckon Alex Bangura will be perfect there if we can get him fit, i wouldnt be against signing Giles but it would only be as back up to Bangura 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCider24 17,847 23k Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Bangura's only going to get injured again. 3 separate significant injuries since we signed him. I'd have no faith in him being a reliable first choice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Goat 686 1k Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Giles is not physical enough.Easily bullied out of the game. Actually that seems to apply to most of the misfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroSmoggie 4,022 4.3k Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Just to put this out there. It’s clear that the club are saying Giles was Carricks signing. Even if that is true, does anyone even blame Carrick? He’s been given Thomas, Engel, Borges and Bangura since Giles’ first spell. All been awful and not up to the standard (bar arguably Bangura). Is it any wonder he might have had the attitude of ‘sod this just get me a player that I know worked in my system before, even if his form recently has been poor’. The fact we were even after ANOTHER first choice left back in January is another failure on Scotts part. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
