Yeah I thought lenihan was rubbish Saturday. It's one game though.
McNair is fine at LCB. I sort of understand the desire to have a left footer there, but its shouldn’t be the only attribute for that position.I don’t think McNair at LCB is that bad. He’s been on of our best players for 2 seasons playing there. I’d rather we spent the cash on centre forwards than pay over the odds for Greaves. Wait for the right deal to come along.
This is true. It’s far easier to stop goals going in than score them. Our main problem for a long time now has been scoring enough goals. Paddy is more than good enough to fill the LCB role. It would be great to have enough money to splash about to get someone like Greaves but the fact is we can’t have everything. Our main deal should be on a proper goal scorer, and let’s not forget we need to replace Tav as wellWe are prepared to pay 5M on a defender probably will pay 7M
But the money needs to be spent on a striker
I don’t get it
It wouldn't be disastrous but I do still hope we try and get a left-footer in before the deadline. We certainty need at least one more defender.I don’t think McNair at LCB is that bad.

He's one of the best ball playing CBs, but his defending can be iffy, he easily gets out muscled.McNair is one of the best players in the league. Shouldn’t be on our bench.
I said a while back that’s he an odd player. When he plays in defence he looks like a midfielder playing in defence, when he plays in midfield he looks like a defender playing in midfield.He's one of the best ball playing CBs, but his defending can be iffy, he easily gets out muscled.
Sssshhhhhhh. @Corcaigh_the_Cat is raging. Absolutely fuming .McNair is one of the best players in the league. Shouldn’t be on our bench.
Here’s a question. What would our asking price be for Paddy? £8m?
Experienced. Great dead ball. Great range of passing. Gets the odd goal. International.
And I wish people would stop making out we can't afford him, or shouldn't try and structure a deal for him.I wish people would stop going on about Gyokeres - there is not a chance he will be coming to Boro at the figures it would cost to get him here
Depends what you mean by afford. We probably could just about her the money together for him, but would have nothing left for anyone else - doesn’t seem very sensible to meAnd I wish people would stop making out we can't afford him, or shouldn't try and structure a deal for him.
I was joking about having a stinker in that I'd seen 2 different mistakes. 4 is quite a lot in 1 half of football.Lenihan was one of the top performers in the league last season. as for Saturday he made some mistakes, but didn't have a stinker. He won more headers than anyone else in the championship on Saturday. I think he was a bit too eager to prove himself and playing against one of the play off favourites, in fact could be dark horses for auto promotion. They have some excellent players particularly in the attacking third.
