We won’t be selling McGree. Don’t let your hate for him get in the way of reality.

Where do we improve?

Who comes in?:

Who leaves?

Loans return?

Academy prospect step up?
Fry should go. Possibly too good for Middlesbrough. Would be a fixture in quite a few Premier teams.

I don't think he has any wish to leave Middlesbrough. However, biggest match for 3 seasons and he's on the bench.

Would command a big transfer fee

Where does this Fry is too good for Middlesbrough bull**** come from?

He’s barely fit for a whole season and when he is he’s ok. He’s not unbelievable.

Lenihan is comfortably a Better player.
 
Okay Diego

If he runs his remaining year of his contract out, where will end up, a team like Barnsley or a team West Ham?
As YT says, neither. He’s not a premier league footballer and he’s not a league 1 footballer.
 
I thought he played very well against Man U and Spurs last season in a bang average Boro team.

Definitely Prem quality
Nah he’s not. He won’t be leaving for a prem team he will be staying at Boro as back up
 
Well Diego I hope his agent is a tad more optimistic than you. I sincerely hope he comes good. I think he will
Just telling you how it is. He’s good enough for us but he won’t be leaving for premier league football.

Just my opinion... but Fry's missed his chance of a big PL move.

There's too many English CBs around the same age (or slightly younger) who are better than him...
Fikayo Tomori, Joe Worrell, Enzi Konsa, Ben Godfrey, Marc Guehi, Trevoh Chalobah, Lloyd Kelly.

... and too many younger than him, probably cheaper, with more potential...
Jonathan Panzo, Ben Wilmot, Rhys Williams, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Levi Colwill, Jarrad Branthwaite.

I like Fry, I think he's a top championship player and I hope we keep him... but if I was a mid-low level PL club, I wouldn't sign him.

What "reality"?
I said I would sell McGree.
We may not be able to sell him as there may not be real demand for him.

You are a strange one Diego. You shoot from the hip left right and centre, but take exception when others pass opinions.
My opinion is that McGree is not good enough, creates too little, and has poor end product. We can and should do better.
Ramsey is a significantly better player and I'd far rather he was in our squad.
So yes I'd sell him.

The reality is he won’t be sold and he will be a key player. All you do is slag him off every game boring as ****

Talk about a mouth on as stick...take a look in the mirror.
You slag players all the time. Your views on McNair recently went way beyond slagging, slagging his personality never mind ability.
You do it all the time.

This thread was talking about squad and who remains and who leaves - asking for opinions. I gave mine about McGree. I really don't rate him as a player.
