DurhamRed 2,047 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 What we need is 2 winger's like Adomar and a number 10 like Ramirez then the creativity problem will be sorted. Also if Britt does go we need Ivay Toney to come in then we have a squad to mount a promotion bid. As I can't deal with another season like this it's horrific! Link to post Share on other sites

What we don’t need is to pay millions for another league 1 player. Too big a gamble. We’ve signed three and sent two of them straight back to that league because the step is too big.

True but that doesn't mean there aren't any gems to be found but it has to be said one does lack faith in our recruitment set up to sieve through the dirt to unearth the golden thread player's that our new model is built upon.

Weasel 966 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Toney would cost far too much for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We don't need to spend big money on a first choice striker. I think Fletcher has easily shown enough this season to show that he is good enough for it and with more creativity in the team would score goals for fun in this league (this is all under the assumption that Britt goes, which I'm still not convinced by.)

Unless Britt is willing to sign a much reduced contract I don't think it will be financially viable to keep him. That said I struggle to see which team is going to pay for him and give him a contract like the one he is on here. Link to post Share on other sites

We need to get him involved and scoring again or else a team is going to struggle to justify a transfer fee and that massive contract. Link to post Share on other sites

He will need to add goals to his game to justify that. If we are to play 4.3.3 i think we need a fair few players. Stojanovic Dijksteel, Fry, NEW CB, NEW LB Paddy, NEW DM, Wing NEW RW, NEW CF/Britt, NEW LW/Coulson Therefore we need 4 new players (6 if britt and coulson do not fit in to the system) just for the starting 11 to have the players to make a 4.3.3 work imo. Spence, Fry, NEW CB, Bola Paddy, Dijksteel, Wing Roberts, NEW CF/Britt, NEW LW/Coulson Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 481 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Recruitment will be in the safe hands of the transfer committee. Mssrs, Gibson, Gill, Woodgate and Bausor.

The bottom paragraph that you have quoted was attached to my initial question, but they seem to have butchered the editing and put the quote down the bottom of the page which makes it look like it’s a response to the question.

Gary Gill has proven himself as being useless with recruitment over the past decade and more. He’s our equivalent to Chris Grayling who consistently gets good jobs, despite him failing in all previous jobs, as he obeys his master in any circumstance as he’s a “yes man”. We all know Gibson loves them sort of people workin Boro though. It’s little wonder our recruitment is decades behind the likes of Brentford. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

OldManGravz 1,350 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 "So, all in all, because there are so many issues to address in the summer in terms of squad re-building, regrettably 2020/21 is looking like another season of transition." Happy happy. Joy joy. Link to post Share on other sites
