Boro are the equivalent of the last kid to get picked.

Dont need him

10 goal striker. That's ok (ish) but if we sign a striker there's a goal factor (F) calculation. So 10 X F = 4/season once he's in our team

No point signing him.

"Boro striker setback" is what actually happens to the striker with almost every 'goalscorer' since we signed Viduka.

this is our problem. we should be looking for the next ollie watkins from the lower leagues. players in the champ already are on everyone's radar. its picking them up the move before that we need to be better at

They lost me at 'is received'

I like how the picture in the article has the steward returning the ball after one of our current strikers failed attempt at a tap in.

Just saying getting rid of Britt and Fletcher is risky....massive gamble we can get the quality we need !

Err we're going to need someone ?
Please don't say JR

"10-goal ace"

Since when did scoring just 10 goals class you as an 'ace'?!

On their performances of late it is a bigger risk to keep them

As long as you can replace them with better....Akpom certainly isn't and we paid good money for him. Like I say massive gamble letting both go....

Not much you can do about it when they're out of contract though and we know one of them has been offered a contract and doesn't want to sign it.

They are both out of contract- we are powerless to keep them. I for one isn’t fussed about them going

 

[Nosmo-King]

Brain - snap!

what a pointless article by the way - out of contract player in receiving offers shocker!

I love this board when we are looking to sign someone they are the best thing since sliced bread as soon as the deal(if there ever was one) falls through we dont need them or they are crap, sh1te etc etc

I think the article highlights that we are in a competitive market for players.
Plenty on here just say 'get rid he's rubbish' when the reality is that we are a mid table Championship side with no money, we ain't an attractive destination for players. It's going to be extremely difficult to improve on the likes of Britt and Fletch both proven at this level...I just hope we can, but it's a massive gamble IMO.
