Crumb 6 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have it on good authority that Marcus Edwards is going to be a Boro player by 5pm tomorrow. If this doesn’t happen, I am to instantly resign from the board. Hang up the ol’ posting boots and die on this hill. Marcus Edwards. Tomorrow. Or I’m gone. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 @Smoggydownsouth Out of interest how has it gone from us wanting maybe 4 in to just the one, have all our top targets turned us down and we weren’t prepared to go for the 2nd choice options in those positions? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 There is maybe 5-6 players who fit Vickers description of this mystery target that seem available and realistic the only 1 I've seen linked with a club is Izzy Brown and Stoke. For those catching up our target is a young, pacey attacking midfielder who can play striker as well on loan from the Prem according to Vickers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FinallyRegistered 91 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Would probably take Chong from United. Not sure he’ll get any first team action. Other than that could be someone like Smith-Rowe at Arsenal, diabate at Leicester? Link to post Share on other sites

The specific players that we wanted might not be an option any longer but we must still want four players if that's what we wanted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Marcus Edwards that's the one. Wonder if its him? @nunthorpered thinks it's Murphy? Link to post Share on other sites

Except if the specific players you wanted aren't available anymore, maybe you no longer want 4 players? Maybe you don't want your 2nd or 3rd choices in those positions, and therefore you no longer want those players, now you only want 1 player that you know you can get in. If those players became available again and wanted to come, we'd go back to wanting 4 players. You always try and make things more difficult than they are. Link to post Share on other sites
