Boro in “advanced talks” with Diedhiou

[BoroMart]

Now (don't laugh) but Britt is actually surprisingly good at scoring with his head. Quite a lot of headed goals for a relatively small guy.

He does score quite a few headed goals, they are largely unmarked from within 8 yards. He can get space and get those type of goals, as soon as anyone is touch tight he flops, that's where I would bet on Dhiedhiou over Britt, when someones actually marking him

 

[BoroMart]

Absolutely no chance we would get Benteke..he started for Palace last night.
Cross him off your list Marty

He's a striker with 9 league goals in 3 years, I doubt there'll be a queue of prem sides looking at him, so he'll go somewhere that is a step down from the prem. I think it's a stretch, but hardly impossible, he's 31 now as well.

Norman, agreed. I am semi retired and do sometimes lack the motivation.

I am retired and have no motivation whatsoever.
Beware!

It's also worth nothing that Boro fans struggled to get Negredos' name right, so think a few are going to have a nightmare with this guy.

There were many Boro fans who loved ‘Juno’.

Likewise people fell out of love with “Britt”

Incidentally I remember Benteke playing for Belgium in an England U21 game at the Riverside before he moved to England. I think England won 3 or 4 nowt but I thought Benteke was excellent. I can spot a good striker Marty

maybe you should apply to be our scout, because no one there can.


My best spot was Ribery in a schoolboy international game

It must be hard to stay motivated when your at the end of your contract. I am retiring in August and I know I am struggling to maintain standards.

Norman, agreed. I am semi retired and do sometimes lack the motivation.

Nosmo-King & Norman_Conquest.
It's time you owned up.
You revealed your true identities when you told us why you lacked motivation
Your Britt Assombalonga and Ashley Fletcher in disguise aren't you.

 

[Nosmo-King]

Haha, I guess from my point of view you end up being more relaxed and don’t get wound up. Maybe this means the intensity is taken out of the job. That in turn can mean you sometimes aren’t fully motivated.
That’s my story, anyway!

'You end up being more relaxed and don't get wound up ?
Cough Cough Cough.... hahaa Coudda fooled me

 

[lostinyorkshire]

we wont get promoted with this guy leading the line and that is a fact

 

[indeedido]

Yeah and Bolasie is on fire with goals and assists.
You were certainly wrong about him weren't you ?

I've praised Bolasie when he's done well, which is sometimes.
You are right I didn't want to sign him. I've been as pleased as anyone when he has done well.
If he signs with us and stays fit he will be an asset, if on reasonable money.

If we want to have any chance of getting in the top 6 we simply must sign Bolasie, he's getting better each match he plays

 

[Boro_Legend]

Thanks but no thanks regarding Diedhiou, I'm not sure a cheaper Assombalonga who also doesn't score goals is exactly what we need.

 

[Block 86]

How do you pronounce his name?

"Jedoo"

 

[S7DiscoDown]

To be fair Keifer Moore or Lucas Joao didn't score goals before this season.

They are similar types and prove anyone can have a worldie season. Joao couldn't hit a barn door a Sheff wed

 

[BoroMart]

To be fair Keifer Moore or Lucas Joao didn't score goals before this season.

Moore:
20-21 : 20 goals so far
19-20 : 10 goals
18-19 : 17 goals
17-18 : 17 goals

He's had 3 really good seasons and one ok season. Not really a one season wonder.

Lucas Joao:
He's only had double figures once before, but it's more that he has been on the bench, even before this season he had 29 goals in just 60 starts.
