Changing Times 12,218 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Boro’s recruitment team have identified Hugill as the best option after Vokes, A ringing endorsement if ever there was one :nervous: Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We went through a phase of signing injured players or those who had recently come back from serious injuries and now the latest phase we seem to be going through appears to be Sunderland players or ex Sunderland players :idea: Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 The N’Diaye link is a strange one. Not sure if he’s what we need and seems to be more of a defensive midfielder if I remember correctly. Had a great loan spell at Sunderland a few years back as well, just don’t see where he would fit. He's better than Clayton. I think that's the long and short of it. This Link to post Share on other sites

BoroYorkie 94 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Raf can you tell us positions? Are these the ones we’ve been playing the waiting game with? •Blink once for winger •Twice for full back •Three times for any other position Link to post Share on other sites

I would be more disappointed than when we sold Bamford or when PJ was blinded by a paintball in Byker Grove. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If it gets to deadline day and Traore's still here we should just unplug the phones and wait for it all to blow over. Take him down to The Hollywood Bowl. It's safe and familiar. How brutal is it going to be sat there with sky sports news on all evening, especially if there’s the slightest rumour.. which there will be because Twitter exists.. Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 wasnt me sorry. 2 transfers have progressed today might be some announcement soon on 2 players still a hell of a lot going on. Fair enough, I know you've said previously that you won't name names but are these players likely to be met with positive reaction? or very meh? Link to post Share on other sites

Boro Badger 87 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Waghorn is left footed, can use his right and is good in the air. He got 16 goals and 13 assists last season, with some of those coming from taking corners and free kicks. He's definitely not a winger, but maybe he's Downing's 'replacement'. He can take left footed set pieces, but also make runs latching on to Traore 's crosses in open play. With Friend anchored to the back four and three in midfield he wouldn't need to track back much. ------------------ Randolph ------------------ -- Shotton --- Flint --- Gibson --- Friend -- ------ Howson --- Clayton --- McNair ------ --- Traore ---------------------- Waghorn --- --------------- Gestede/Hugill ---------------- That could be the plan. If it happens, Bamford has paid for Waghorn. (no room for Britt in this predicted line up, I can't see him getting much game time from Pulis once Gestede is fit). And all this is based on Traore staying... which I am pretending he is 100% until further notice. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If it gets to deadline day and Traore's still here we should just unplug the phones and wait for it all to blow over. Take him down to The Hollywood Bowl. It's safe and familiar. Not with his shoulder, he’d never have dislocated it if he hadn’t spent so much time bowling. :) Link to post Share on other sites
Hendrie_7 1,068 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Northern Echo are saying that Everton are still interested in Gibson and could try and sign him if they can't get Lascelles http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/16391865.everton-now-ready-to-focus-on-defender-with-newcastle-and-boro-men-in-sights/ Link to post Share on other sites
