Get yer checkbook out Gibbo

Need at least 3 or 4 players in this January, and not squad players either.

They need to have a similar sort of character that Carrick had and played alongside, no passengers like we currently have a squad of. And he needs to make one of them captain.

Step up, Phil Jones 😂
 
That’s not the model though. Cheap young prospects with big potential resale value from now on. That’s the model.
 
Agree we need to spend the Tavernier and Spence money in janauary we've banked 25 million last summer spent nowt just freebies loans and development strikers

If that's the model we are running with come January we may aswel buy players who are good enough for league 1.

We need experienced, quality players and fast. We can start the model again in pre-season.
 
Carrick’s been here a week and again Hoppe doesn’t get a chance — tells you all you want to know about him. Then there’s Boyd-Munce who can’t even get on the bench.

I can see two of them will being loan signings. So they could be the experienced ones.. Phil Jones is a decent shout. Marcus Tavernier was important for us when he was only 22/23 so I don’t think age will necessarily be a disadvantage. Tom Bayliss is 23yo and has over 100 appearances.. two midfielders could easily drop into this squad in January.
Josh Campbell at Hibs is 22yo with over a 100 games under his belt.

Macaulay Langstaff ticks all the boxes of a Gibson’s gift, a non league local gem.. bit of a Lewis Wing.. bit of a Jamie Vardy. We need to bring the love back into the squad.. we’ve lost that loving feeling, that heart. I’d be happy for us to roll the dice again.

Facundo Pellistri, a Uruguayan number 10 is about as Boro as it get, perhaps more Carlos De Peña than Gaston Ramirez right now, Gibson loves a South American and we still have a Martin Payero shaped hole in the squad. Michael Carrick has to pull in all the favours in January and he seemed to suggest that he’ll be looking to his former club to hook him up in January.

7 Tom Bayliss - Shrewsbury Town
10 Facundo Pellistri - Man Utd - Loan
11 Macaulay Langstaff - Notts County
12 Phil Jones - Man Utd - Loan
22 Josh Campbell - Hibs

Could do with an option wide left. And right. Squad is set up for wingbacks. If we're not going to do that we need wide players. Jones and watmore are the only players we have in those positions.
Kai Wagner from MLS was mentioned in the summer. 25yo left back out of contract in December,

Jack Stacey from Bournemouth was mentioned also.. 26yo right back

Just don't sign any more defenders. The problem is still the same - too few goals scored.

Find some midfielders and strikers who can move the play up the field. Give the opposition something to worry about. It's pointless signing more and more defenders if what the team needs is more goals.

Relegation is becoming more probable than possible, but the players seem to think they are far better than they are.

It won't be long before someone says "too good to go down".

I think we’re past that point to be honest.
