Changing Times 12,347 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Is that 'i' superfluous or are you saying that you care? Either way you're getting my first thumb up on here ever for that! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrie_7 1,073 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Bit late but Jordan Archer is an awful keeper, he flaps at crosses and regularly let shots in through his weak hands (like stewy's goal a couple of seasons ago). Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,639 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It's a copy and paste job from the same rubbish that was on HITC, not sure I put much stock in it. Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,047 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I loath the club for selling key players even if it makes sense because I simply have no faith in our recruitment to replace them with anyone that's any good! Like with Ayala he's 29 next year when his contract ends be 30 so we should maybe move him on and get a 22 year old centre back in who has their prime ahead of them. But these signings are literal gambles for the club to make shown by Bola, Dijksteel and Browne. I just have no faith in our scouting set up at all when was the last time the club signed a genuine gem of a player 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson has to come up with the cash to fund his new contract. 29 is not a old age for a good centre back he still as a good 4 years in his locker if not more. But what you really have to ask is does he want to carry on playing at Boro with all the turmoil that surrounds the club and the future not looking so bright. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just doubt we can offer half of what Fulham, Stoke and Leeds could offer. You have to think aswell if Gibson is planning on running the club as cheap as he can then I doubt he wants to offer Ayala half of what hes on now. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I can't find a single reason why Ayala would want to extend his contract. Certainly not a footballing reason and I have no doubt that he will be offered a better deal elsewhere. I understand that he has a local wife but is that really enough when he is offered a much better deal elsewhere in a team that is actually moving forward? I doubt it.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'd hope we'd cash in on Ayala we should have done in the summer but 1-2 mill's better than the 0 we'll get in the summer. We were never renewing Friend/Ayalas contract's they were signed in the PL even with relegation I guarantee they're touching 25-30k a week we should have cashed out sooner, Randolph and Fletcher are about to hit 18 months left in January we need to start getting money from them. Howson will walk into a playoff team next summer probably with a wage bump they'll view him as a 7 mill freebie he could win our POTS he'll still walk his next contract will be his last and biggest I imagine. Friend/Howson/Gestede/Johnson/Shotton are about to be gone that's 17/18 million flushed the only 1 it looks like we can get money on at this point is Dani he's gotta go.

SmogDane 4,055 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Apparently we want Gibson on loan... Sell Dani and get Ben in.. that wouldn't be the worst scenario. Link to post Share on other sites

It would be an odd scenario as we can't afford any bugger at the moment and Gibson must be on more money than Ayala and most of the rest of them 😕 Link to post Share on other sites
