Hardly unearthing gems Playing Devil's Advocate here but isn't the definition of "unearthing gems" finding good players nobody has heard of? Otherwise you wouldn't be unearthing them.... So we may have done just that if Stojanovic comes good! Couldnt say I've heard of Nmecha before he signed for us either but he's looked lively what little he has played for us and could turn out to be alright. Roberts is slightly different in that he's been a known quantity for a while, but he still looked like he was going to be a good signing for us before the injury. He again looked like he could be a good player for us when he was buzzing round, and almost everyone was commending the club on here for making the right kind of signing. It was just unfortunate his hammy went. You can hardly hold that as a black mark against the club's transfers this window. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Right I'll go first. ZERO IN ZERO OUT Couple of fringe players go on loan, Ste Walker for example Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 One in. Think we will get that defender. Might not be our first choice, but we will get someone to see us through the last months. Can't pin so much pressure on Wood. The occasional outing is decent but you don't want to be in a situation where he has to start without a real defensive partner. Fry debuted at a very early age too and looked promising but it took a few years for him to become a main fixture in the side. Zero out (first team players that is. Might send a few young ones out) Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Where is Danny Batth when you need him... I'll answer that myself... at Stoke! I liked him here to be honest... Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,311 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 2 in, 1 out. We will get 1 defender in, as BD says may not be our first choice. Also got a funny feeling someone is gonna get desperate and bid for someone like Britt on last day, which will see a mad dash ending in us getting in a forward from the Scottish/Lower Leagues Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The Mirror are reporting that Benkovic is going to Derby if Leicester signs a replacement. I'm going to go for 0 in, 0 out. Hopefully wrong and we bring some in. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I hope we sign someone worthy under the radar, out of the blue ... I heard talk yesterday of a plane from Madrid landing at Durham Tees Valley .. Anyone heard this too.. Haven't seen it mentioned here... Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18196623.boro-set-final-push-watford-target-howson-set-stay/ Apparently make or break last move for Gibson in the next 24 hours, we are trying to get an attacking player in along with a CB. This time tomorrow if Benkovic is gone along with Gibson I wouldn't be surprised to hear Ryan Bennett's music as he starts to look better the more desperate we get for a CB. I wouldn't call this window good just because we're leaving ourselves alot of work to do in the summer, trusting the Boro recruitment team to fill 2-3 gaps under Pulis was hard enough trusting them to fill 7-8 gaps is a big leap I can't make myself the club have set up next summer as a magical time where the wage expenses will be halved new FFP period etc the pressure they're going to be under to bring in new attackers and defenders there's not much point being ultra critical of them when this season's a dud anyway I have a feeling there'll be plenty to criticise them for come August.
