Boro in advanced talks with Yaya Sanogo

I remember him at Arsenal as I have couple arsenal fans. I classed him as a comedy player, underlining how bad arsenal had become. Possibly the worst striker I’ve ever seen play for them

Are you forgetting alliadierre 🤷‍♂️
 
My mum loved Alliadierre😍. I think it was his accent.

I uploaded a photo of him and had a birthday card made up. Then waited around like a fan boy to get him to autograph it. I felt like a right weirdo lol.

Now in her 70s and still has it😂
 
We were after Wesley Said (right winger) from Toulouse a few weeks ago.. loan with a view to buy.

We were looking at Abdoulaye Sissako (midfielder) from Zulte Waregem also as well as Loic Mbe Soh (centre back) from PSG
 
I trust Warnock, he’s been around long enough and knows this league well enough to judge a player and whether they can do the business. I don’t think Fletcher and Britt are bad players, I just think neither can hold the ball up, is any good with their back to goal or can challenge in the air. All the strikers we’ve been linked with have a bit of a presence about them, are good in the air and do lay offs, flick ons etc. We look disjointed with Britt and Fletcher up top, the link between our midfield and strikers is half the problem for our lack of goals. If we play 4-3-3 I think it would be Britt and Fletcher either side of Sanogo. We have to find a way to get more midfielders into the box.

Warnock will try and get rid of Britt once he gets anew striker, no way you can play Britt wide, his first touch and passing are awful. He has to play centrally with help or their is no point in playing him.

Perhaps but I can’t see us being able to offload Britt with his wages, too expensive for most championship clubs, not good enough for the prem. I can’t see us just having 2 strikers on the books either. I don’t think Britt would be that bad in a 4-3-3 along side Fletcher and/or Sanogo. He used to drift out wide quite bit when playing under Monk. We don’t get enough bodies in the box when attacking. I think Sanogo makes Britt a better player, atm Britt is either competing for long balls by himself or chasing lost causes whilst our midfield is in our own half.
 
Was decent on FM about 5 years ago wasn't he? :oops:

I remember signing him on FM years ago for Boro and he was incredible. I kept half an eye on his career simply because of that and he doesn’t seem to have kicked on to be honest. Hopefully we see the best of him if the rumours are true
 
I love the straw clutching at the various stats whenever a player from left field is mentioned as a serious target.
Its par for the course and all part of the fun these days.

I always Wonder how excited we would have been with the signing of Peter Davenport and we had social media to celebrate and discuss.

Agree, I think these are the signings we should be making, remember signing afonso alves the goal machine! The only stats that matter are the ones he will have in a Boro top
 
Well, he has been signed by Auxerre, Arsenal, Ajax, Toulouse and played for France at several levels bar full international, so must have something. In our plight of little dosh, we can’t be too choosy. If NW approves then that’ll do for me. It could be worse
