Tudders80 674 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 BBC LN just said Adlene Guedioura deal is done I really don't see the point if this signing. Someone asked yesterday "how do we decide if it's a panic buy" - found one for you mate! Cheers BD4. It was me and I think I agree on this one. It just feels like a signing that will probably sit on the bench for no reason as not really a position we needed covering and doubt he can change a game. Hope I'm completely wrong but we'll see I suppose Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Guedioura offers something different, something we currently lack in the 4-3-3. It's not a diamond of a signing, but it's hardly Cubic Zirconia from Elizabeth Duke. I'm not criticising the signing, it's the fact that we've failed to address our problem area and with 10 minutes to go that is not going to change. Car crash of a window, I feel so sorry for AK. Burnley and Hull have put us to shame this month. What makes it worse is it's not exactly a new problem either, we spent all last summer needing the same type of players we still need now and will STILL need in January. There do seem to be options out there and it least publically we don't seem to care. Link to post Share on other sites

Burnley and Hull have put us to shame this month. True but, as I said earlier, not signing Guedioura wouldn't have changed the fact we haven't signed an AM. He improves us - in an area of the pitch was had weaknesses but is certainly not our weakest, aye - but an improvement is an improvement. In fact, adding a little more forward momentum into the midfield three could be of aid to the likes of Adama, Fischer and Downing. It at least addresses the enormous gulf between the holding and attacking midfield areas. Yes, we need to be better in the final third. That much is obvious. But improving the supply to those who's job it is to create those chances 'could/should' improve that supply vicariously. At least, we can hope... Link to post Share on other sites

Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We need to score goals so get rid of a striker and bring in a CM? ***ing world class again Boro. If we go down, the entire back-office staff needs to go. Link to post Share on other sites
velocitractor 64 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I understand that we have still have holes in our squad, it's been mega frustrating, especially how good it seemed earlier in the month. But let's not hate on Guediora because of who he isn't. Hardly seems fair on the guy. Link to post Share on other sites

billsykes 17 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It just may be that the most important signing of this window is the one that took place last year. It is probably significant that Gaston didn't get his move and is stuck here for six months at least. As long as he gets his head screwed on he could be the difference.
