BoroJoey 33 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Todd Kane. Always remember seeing him on old FM/FIFA getting released and ending up at some league 2 basement team. Into the era of 'scraping the barrel' Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I very much doubt Mejias is even in the frame for first choice goalkeeper, regardless of what happens with Randolph. We obviously lost Dimi and the Champion's League winners newest signing Andy Lonergan, so we needed a backup. If Randolph does go, I think we'll probably have an incoming lined up, likely a loan of a highly rated young PL keeper. Link to post Share on other sites

We've turned down a few derisory bids but any serious offers and he's probably gone ? IF selling Randolph means keeping hold of Fry then i'd reluctantly accept it. Mejias is a decent enough keeper for this league. So...Randolph doesn’t want to leave but his shoulder injury is now now a calf strain. Has a decision been made by club/player/both to feign injury? Or is he genuinely injured? Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,006 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 tbh I heard it was a calf injury at the hartlepool game Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We have no creativity on the wings. Nobody to give Assombalonga, one of the most prolific strikes in the Championship, the opportunities to score. And equally crucially, nobody to split the defence to create space for 2 of the midfield 3 to get in dangerous goal-scoring positions. Our season is dependant on 2 good signings after Braithwaite departs, as well as keeping hold of Randolph. Otherwise we're dependant on good ol' battling Boro to huff and puff just to keep us in this league. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree that our best transfer business will be in regards to who we keep. Unfortunately we have put ourselves in a position where depending on who we can shift out will ultimately affect who we can keep. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It would be typical of us to finally change style to a way of playing that suits our star striker, then sell him. Link to post Share on other sites

There is a difference between a player wanting to leave for game time and wanting a permanent transfer. He had game time here and it's not the same thing at all. If he wanted out for any reason at all then that's him wanting to move elsewhere quite clearly. There was no reason for us to let him go out on loan without it benefiting us in some way. The 'benefit' was the fact that Pulis obviously didn't want him but that's his own thing and didn't really benefit the club. If he wanted to move after 6 months then it should have been arranged in such a way as to benefit both us and him. Link to post Share on other sites

Here or one of the other forums anyway. Doesn't mean he's not being left out so we can sell him though I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
