Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) If we end up with an 8 figure fee for Britt I'd be stunned myself he has a track record you could add into the equation that say a Che Adams didn't when he went to Southampton granted but if we get an 8 figure or very close to 8 figure fee for Britt plus his wages off the books that would be an excellent deal for us in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I go to all home games and watch every away game on TV or go when I can. I have seen him have alot more bad games than good games. And alot of the time he dosnt seem to put a shift in. When he does I'm the 1st to say he played well. If he dosnt go this window I can see him running out his contract and going for nothing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mfcdanny 771 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'm not saying I'm right by the way. I just don't really rate him. I never really have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mfcdanny 771 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 And I disagree. There players out there whose contract are running out and clubs will take alot less than what there worth. But then again I have no confidence in our recruitment team to find these players Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,006 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'd play Fletch over him now anyway. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

When he does I'm the 1st to say he played well. I've seen a lot more of him this season than I have before, first time season ticket holder and watched probably as much as you have on TV. I've seen him have varied performances, for sure. I think there are games this season when he's played better than the team and worse than the team, for sure. But by and large, his performances have pretty much matched what we've done going forward as a whole and I think it's harsh for that to all come down to him. Some people want to label him badly because he is a relatively limited striker in the scope of what he brings to the team as a whole and they're not really wrong. But he is a good player at what he does and some games I've seen him in this season in particular have shown me he has the willingness to really work hard on his weaknesses too. His hold-up play, his strength and determination to take the ball forward, to make runs into the channel, some of the best I've seen from him has been this season. He's also missed a couple of penalties and a couple of sitters too but I think it must be frustrating when most the fans only seem to remember the bad stuff and whilst they might come out and say he's had a good game immediately after, it's barely remembered in the long run. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I would too, if he wasn't leaving, I'd make sure he knew he had to fight to get back into this team. And I don't think he'd be against that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18140449.deals-excite-boro/ Echo are saying we're not just considering Jack Clarke on loan but also Nketiah. We'd be competing against half the Championship for both players I'm not confident we'll pull them off myself and Nketiah to me is still far from polished especially with his own expectations I'd be wary of selling Britt and plugging the gap with a loan I think we need 1-2 permanent additions without Britt going if he goes in 6 months we'll have 1 senior striker left at the club Fletcher whose contract would be up in 12 and he's probably going to have suitors if he keeps his form up I think we'd be up a creek in that scenario.

Brunners 7,982 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Someone mentioned Lyle Taylor earlier today and I honestly think he could be a good shout here you know. We were interested in the summer, he's turned down a new deal and they're actively shopping him now. Could be a good compliment to Fletch in a two up top. Have liked him from his Wimbledon days. Seems to put in the hard work, can finish and can score penalties. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,493 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 @Jamie-H. It has been widely reported Nketiah is off to Bristol City. Lyle Taylor is a good shout at right price. Although i was shocked to read he turn 30 next month. I had him around the 25yr old mark Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 And wouldn't selling Britt put us in a better financial position with FFP? Meaning we can offer new contracts to the youngster's and Ayala / Howson? It would be a risk selling a proven goal scorer but he is going to be sold In the summer anyway so might aswell rince villa.

Can we even offer him a lot of football if Woody goes back to his original 1 striker system? I wouldn’t move Fletcher out for anyone right now Link to post Share on other sites
