Bloody hell. He debuted at 17, is the only defender at the football club capable of turning out of a press is the best U21 England CB in the country with Tomori finally had his breakthrough last year and took it you know what Gibson was doing at 21? Making mistakes and learning from them I can't recall many Fry mistakes even when he was a RB. Fry's more disciplined, faster, taller and carries the ball better than any CB we've produced in my 27 year lifetime. Gibson has 5 years on him with respect to Ben in 5 years I doubt Fry will be at Burnley. Don't rate the lad from Berwick Hills right now? Fine but there's a reason Liverpool have scouted Dael since he was 14 on and off at least wish our own luck especially if they go for a club record fee at 21! 8 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroMart 139 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If Britt goes to Palace he will get about 5 goals, if he goes to Leeds he will get 15, probably most in the first 3 months and then be in and out the team. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 517 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Ayala, Shotton, friend , McNair plus an as yet unnamed prem loan and the young uns in the squad is not too desperate i like Fry and would prefer to keep him but money talks i would also be shocked if woody wasn’t fully aware of the price on players heads when he got the job so think he will just get on with the job I just think that we should wait until all our business is done before we go all doom and gloom.

Neverbefore 10,938 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Why do I keep reading that weve had a good transfer window? Shifting braithwaite and flint has been positive I'll grant you But weve brought in two players that are completely unproven. And a third on his way. Yes they've looked decent a level below and they could come good but these are all ifs and buts. Added to that that one now looks like it was potentially unnecessary with Coulson's rise. You cant say it's a good window when we havent brought anyone in of proven quality. Been biting my tongue on it for a while but if were also selling britt and fry then it could well end up being a disaster of a window. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Just because he doesn't score against the best doesn't mean he won't against the worst. Feed him and he'll score. RVJ was the same sort of player and no one slated him for only scoring in the box. Extreme example but players who come alive in the 12 yard area and finish are rare. ? Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me a lot of a young Gary Pallister, he was the same, tall ( a bit skinny) liked to waltz out from defence with the ball, was quick and read the game well. He got a bit chunky later on when he came back, but there are a lot of similarities with the young Pally and Fry. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Surely we need to see how the lower league signings pan out before hailing this window as a success. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pallister was light years ahead of Fry at this stage of his career. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
