Bid accepted for Whittaker

[Juninhoburger]

Wonder if we could see Doak playing on the left sometimes with Whittaker on the right?

Oh god I hope not, Doak has been awful when played on the left

 

[Nero]

Plymouth fans must be getting a bit sick of Boro taking their players.

 

[Ash88]

Forss on his way out?

He was the right side replacement, we now have Whittaker.

I can't see us signing Whittaker for £6m+addons to be a backup to Doak.

It'll either be Doak - Whittaker - Azaz (how they played together at Plymouth).

... or Doak - Azaz - Burgzorg with Whittaker up front (and ELL on his way out).

Not with regards this lad, they seem pretty happy to get rid. Proper burned his bridges there the other night!

 

[Boro.Fur]

Think that may have been exaggerated

It was £10m from Lazio.

Unrelated to the ELL situation apparently, which is good.

Directly unrelated - but that doesn't mean ELL won't be sold

I think it gives us more options across the attacking positions.

Azaz can play centre and left, Whittaker centre and right, so both can play with Doak.

I still think ELL will go and we'll bring in a replacement from the continent, very much of the profile that he had when we signed him.

I always felt Conway was signed as our 'senior' no.9, knowing ELL wouldn't be with us much longer.

 

[AytonMews]

4 good, flexible options behind the striker now


Plus McGree if he ever gets his mojo back

 

[Gramsci]

Plymouth fans seem on balance glad to see the back of him. Many criticising his attitude and others describing him as a ‘one trick pony’.

 

[LeeMiller]

Just a shame he’s cup tied

 

[WillowsOrchid]

Burnley might be about to match our offer. I wouldn’t say this is a done deal yet

I agree...

Doak - Whittaker - Azaz
- - - - - Conway - - - - -

I'm pretty convinced ELL will leave - but I'd be happy with a fully fit Conway up front, and just signing an adequate backup.

 

[Nero]

Absolutely.

Being Forssed out….

Dieng is supposed to have picked up yet another injury and be unavailable for a good while I was told earlier

I will be happy when that saga is over too
Guess it’s going to be Glover playing with Connor on the bench tomorrow

With Whittaker being left footed you'd hope he would be the one to play that side if we are trying to shoehorn both into the same team

Huddersfield fans were saying similar things about Burgzorg when we signed him.

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Where does he actually play?

 

[Juninhoburger]

With Whittaker being left footed you'd hope he would be the one to play that side if we are trying to shoehorn both into the same team

Azaz Whittaker Doak

Surely?

Whittaker is lethal outside the 18 yard box with both feet
