January purchases

[Ebor]

I'm totally at a loss where Boro, or indeed any team in the Championship, is with money to spend on new players.

While it might be academic now, I was hoping we could splash some cash in January to bring in new players to boost our PO hopes. But realistically is there any cash to splash? For us or any team

Bring in Jordan Rhodes

Unlikely unless we sell someone, most likely mid table mediocrity for us this season.

 

[Expat Smoggie]

only place to look is the free agent market-- any player on there is probably looking at a pay-by-game approach so I just can't see anything but sticking with what we have-- that's why Warnock was bulling up our academies. The Akpom deal really looks like it's been a bust -- a million squid on a player who doesn't really possess any real qualities but then again we all knew that right. We would have been better off signing Charlie Wyke or someone who can at least head the friggin ball.

Bring in Jordan Rhodes

Yes please imagine him in this team. A striker who can’t play football at all apart from score one touch finishes, he would be magnificent in this team with all the chances we create. Partner him with Assombalonga, we would win the league by 25 points

Given that our attacking is all about getting the ball wide and knocking it in, we need a physical striker who can win the ball in the air.

Chuba cost 2.6 million, not one million!!

IMO we need a big lump who can hold the ball up under pressure then bring others into play, preferably in the box.

I don't know what the issue was/is with Mendez Laing, but to me he would fit the bill. He's quick as well as strong.

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Cheeky loan bid for Andy Carroll.

 

[NYboro]

Cheeky loan bid for Andy Carroll.

He'd break down inside one game.
