Uwe 3,545 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'll join the other mods in bemoaning the existence of this thread... it only seems 5 minutes since the last one carreered to an undignified, tear filled, bicker-inducing car crash of an end! De-railing it a bit there BU. Quick someone have him :):):) Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,942 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm not ready for this.... I might just get a few thoughts out of the way now... - I don't believe that any of the people claiming to be ITK are actually ITK...:cool: - The drunken conversations are not good for this thread.:huh: - Jelle Vossen...this time, im sure he is coming! Get someone at Durham TeesValley to check the incomings! - Marvin Emnes is leaving. - The Echo correctly predicted something....said no one ever.:angel: - The Echo uses this forum to form the basis of the next day transfer rumour, which we then run with because the Echo has said it and the vicious cycle continues until AK says he has never heard of Darren Byfield. - I am looking forward to the amount of times AV uses the word "brinkmanship" in his tweets. - Another 'Jacques Maghoma-gate'...man I really wanted that guy.:-/ - I am sure that 'that site' is a decent place to gather reliable information... - I think we should sign any and all of our ex-players, especially if they are from our academy...Jason Kennedy anyone? - I love a good 3 day Adomah medical, me. - Signing in after 3 hours to hope that there is something from VB or #07 or Magooder to be disappointed after 25 minutes of reading. - The big egg on my face after I text friends and family about rumours on here, only to look silly afterwards...cough Becchio. - Puns...yay...more puns. - Another summer of Forest wanting all our players. - Our man at Rockcliffe on deadline day, who completely mistook Butterfield for Parnaby (I do appreciate whoever it was going down for the afternoon) - A deadline day outrageous bid for someone, just to be made to look silly last minute. - Random sightings of Messi and Wheater in Boro, presumably together. Right, well I think that is my opinion of all the topics that will be mentioned over the coming months, see you in October! Link to post Share on other sites
Motor Mouth 255 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I believe its nice to read others thoughts no matter how hilarious they maybe. Adds light heartedness to a dull period. All you have to do is keep your heads and remember not to get excied or agitated after all its just a laugh. Anyways I'm running out of jokes.. Link to post Share on other sites

LukeR 44 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Assombalonga from Peterborough would be ideal for us. Would fit the AK system perfectly. I suggested him weeks ago! Great minds think alike and all that :P Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,489 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The Evening Gazette state they only deal in fact then days later do a full back page spread on signing a player right out of our league only for them not to come. We are linked with all players beginning with surnames beginning with V from Spanish or Portugese speaking countries. Rob Hulse gets a mention. Somebody very exciting is reportedly a nailed on done deal only for #07 to claim this is false there is a hate campaign towards him and then he is proven correct. People are annoyed and dont appreciate 30 pages of puns related to a player we are linked with. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Whatever even happened to #07? He's been quiet a long time now hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,489 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I heard rumours about #07. At present he is often found venturing round schools and nurseries telling children that Santa isnt real or on facebook telling everyone who has just been killed off on Game of Thrones. Geoff Shreeves is said to be his hero. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
tho_e 1 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I also feel that there would be quite an overhaul in the summer. AK has used his time to look at the players and he surely would have a better idea of who is in and who is out. AK doesn't seem to favor Steele, so it looks like he is on his way out. A*** those out on loan, I don't see them featuring in AK's squad... although I would keep Smallwood and Reach as backups. So out goes Richardson, Holiday, Juke, Emnes. I guess the key positions in the summer is a Striker. And a GK depending on wat happen to Steele and Dimi. With Omeruo returning - not sure if we need a new defender here With Chalobah returning - Smallwood's return should cover for this With Loans returning to their clubs, we have a squad of 32 (according to mfc.co.uk). I think its too big, we can get it down to 27/28 would be easier to manage. AK kept his squad to 30 by sending out players on loan. Looking forward to the summer transfers. Q: How many spanish players are we going to sign? Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Mix of my own opinions (who I want and don't want) as well as conjecture (AK's favourites, reading between the lines, etc)... Sell (or offload): Emnes, Jutkiewicz, Steele, Halliday, Park, Kamara, Hines. Release (all contracts due to expire): Ripley, Leutwiler, Parnaby, Varga, Wyke, Richardson, Sirrell, Brobbel, Graham, Atkinson, Dolan. Buy (or loan): 1 RB, 2 CFs. Squad: GK: Dimi, Mejias (season long loan). DF: New RB (permanent), Omeruo (season long loan), Ayala, Friend, Woodgate, R.Williams, Gibson, Burgess (contract extension). CM: Leadbitter, Chalobah (season long loan), Smallwood, Whitehead, Morris (loan out). AM: Adomah, Butterfield, Tomlin, Carayol, L.Williams, Ledesma, Reach. ST: New CF (permanent), New CF (season long loan), Main. Team: ---------------- Dimi ---------------- - ????? - Omeruo - Ayala - Friend - ------ Leadbitter - Chalobah ------ - Adomoah - Butterfield - Tomlin - ---------------- ????? --------------- Link to post Share on other sites
ASDFC101 9 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 For some reason, Aitor Karanka reminds me of Laudrup. He has a similar sort of set up and encourages pass-and-move type play. Hopefully he ventures into the market and finds a 'Michu' type player. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 How do we know the two Chelsea lsds are returning? Has there been anything said? Do we want them back or can the loans be better used elsewher? Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'd keep Omerou (even after last nights performance) let Chabolah go and get a more quality in. They have been mumblings in the media that Omerou wants to come back. And Karanka wants him back next season. So I guess it's up to Chelsea now Link to post Share on other sites
ABH 470 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ripleys contract ends in 2015 not this summer. Link to post Share on other sites
