Tom 2,492 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I made this point on Twitter too, but I reckon which ever of McNair and Saville doesn't start tonight will be moved on next week. If we get a right-back, Howson moves back into midfield, and one of those two drops even further down the pecking order. My gut feeling is that it's McNair, as I think he's more in-demand, and we'd get more of our money back on him. Link to post Share on other sites

Dijksteel is still on as far as boro are concerned. Is the ‘incoming’ you mentioned earlier separate to these two names? Link to post Share on other sites

smudgemfc89 11 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 On a serious note, I find it frustrating that the club seem to have let Woodgate down a bit. They told him we would have someone in the door within 48 hours at the meet and greet, he then tells the fans in a honest manner and yet we still have nothing official.

The statement could have been true at the time, to the best of their belief. Things change. Assuming it was Dijksteel, with agreed terms, etc, it may have only slipped when Bristol came in.

Dan1234 1,048 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Didn't one of the ITK'ers say we had been rejecting decent offers for Mcnair over the summer? I'd far rather keep him over Saville. Still not sure what he is supposed to bring. Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with this which is what was making me think whoever it was is still in progress. If we had missed out/moved on I think Woodgate would have said yesterday that things have changed, but he didn't make any comment to it just that he is confident more will follow.

Don’t think Leeds will, their number one target was apparently Costa. Need a striker with the money they’re recouping. It’s whether rangers will stump up 7 million (fees, add ons, clauses etc) for him. 18/1 on Sky Bet for those who fancy a punt... Link to post Share on other sites

We can definitely afford to lose a midfielder without needing to replace them. Link to post Share on other sites

Would rather Tav plays ahead of them both 1 Link to post Share on other sites
