Nah I reckon Tottenham for league one, didn't they get relegated to the Championship after they didn't sign anyone for 18 months? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But I doubt he has any deep love for Boro as a club like Leo so purely business and football based decision for me. He's a good player for this league, but will have higher wages than others of the same quality 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think he was trying to get a move in the Jan unless we improved his wages, then he had to eat humble pie and only started performing in the last ten games of the season. "in the shop window" was how I remember feeling about it. Link to post Share on other sites

That’s despite my love for the man. Link to post Share on other sites

All I know is that at the end of the playoff final he lobbed his boots to me (I had a Ghana flag, he chucked them in my direction, I’m sure they were meant for me) but someone else got them. I only hope they appreciate them as much as I would’ve done ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t heard anything about it in a while I think that was when we expected Braithwaite to leave ASAP.. instead he’s still here and doesn’t seem to be in a rush (no rumours which suggests no agent pushing it?)..

"KM" 1,656 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Mr_Maz said: signing him doesn;t fit the new approach does it? not young or hungry to play for the Boro and prove themselves, no resell value, wages would be more than an upcoming prospect, etc etc Sorry Maz, how do you know he wouldn’t be hungry to play for Boro? I know he left us on bad terms but that was more to do with his relationship with AK and long term job security; it was quite clear he loved playing for us and his brother said he was devastated when the move didn’t materialise last season. I know we’ve been gone there’s going to be a change in our policies this season but we shouldn’t just abandon signing high quality championship players just because they don’t fit a new model. There needs to be a balance between the two; whenever we’ve tried going down one extreme we’ve failed! Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 That’s the thing though is he really ‘high quality’? I don’t think he is, not any more, and not for that money. He was a decent championship winger who did well in a good unit, we need a forward who will take the game and dictate things for us, that is not adomah. I read villas forum last January when we were linked and they thought he’d gone totally off the boil and were hoping he’d leave. Had a good half a season before vanishing, sounds like the adomah I remember. Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 610 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I cant understand why (according to the Gazette) we havnt made an offer for Jamal Lowe. Given our extreme lack of wide players, the fact Lowe has requested to leave and would be relatively cheap, plus the fact he ticks lots of boxes regarding the type of players were now targeting I find it baffling how we've not put a single bid in yet. We really do need to be abit more assertive than we seem to be at the moment, it's like were stuck in a lull and actually dont have a plan regarding recruiting new players Link to post Share on other sites
