We're not getting our money back on Saville, and he's not out of contract in the summer. Johnson has actually been half decent this season, but I think he'd go if we could get a fee. Browne hasn't had a proper chance yet, he's only started 5 games and has amassed a grand total of 418 minutes of league football for us. He cost next to nothing too. Link to post Share on other sites

All things considered, I don't think he was happy at West Ham. I think he wanted to leave when he did and he's in the form of his career. He surely more than anything wants to play and whilst we're offering him good money, you'd 100% understand him standing firm here. If they want to play him, then sure, I think he'd jump at that. But I suspect given their interest is continued beyond them sacking and hiring a new manager, it's absolutely nothing to do with the manager just wanting to sign him to play him. The club wants another good keeper and probably couldn't give a toss whether it's Randolph or someone else. Link to post Share on other sites

I think we all don’t know *** but my own gut says, we don’t want to sell him, why would you want to sell him u less you’ll get an inflated price for him, which I doubt we will. I’ll be AMAZED if someone from his camp hasn’t started the gentle ripple effect with wanting out. All wrapped up in a ‘I love Boro I do’ stance. Money money money.. Link to post Share on other sites

If he does, we’ll struggle to get more than 3Mil I feel. Pears could be a good keeper in time and it feels he’ll have both his dads strengths and weaknesses! Can’t catch a ball like his dad!! Canny shot stopper mind.. centre half centre forward creative midfielder please! I definitely think people are overegging how well Pears is playing, he's been decent back up but a good number of his saves have been nervy and he's managed to hold on to very few of them. Most of his clean sheets have been in games where he's barely faced a shot. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's playing badly, but his highlight reel for the season would be very short so far.

But playing in the bottom half of the championship - and relegation places/fight when he was last playing - hardly seems sufficient to justify him getting a regular slot imo. But hey, who knows, maybe he loves the boro 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

He definitely doesn’t want to go to West Ham as he didn’t like it there. He is also delighted to be Ireland number one and wants to remain as first choice. I’ve only realised that you are relatively new to the forum. I have said this before. He wants to stay at Boro Link to post Share on other sites

I’d say he’s done ok at best! He’s had the odd decent game, a few poor ones and idiotically cost us a nearly certain win. If a team were to offer us money for him I’d happily take it. Likewise for Saville. It’s taken him 18 months to have a couple of half decent games. If we can recoup any of the fee we paid for him, bite their hands off! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
