Lee Gregory from Sheff Wed

He can't be worse than our strikers this season. If he is 3rd or 4th choice I could live with it.
 
Nah(n)
 
I am quite sure he will be more effective than Sporar, Balogun and Connolly so its a yes from me. So much to do and not enough money for every signing to be the next big thing.
 
Gregory and Akpom

That could rival Rudy and Nmecha as Boro's worst ever starting front 2. Well unless Killien and Miller ever started together😂

Lee Miller and Chris Killen ;)
 
Not sure Coburn is ready to be honest.
I’m happy with him as 4th or 5th choice if we go down the 5 strikers route again but to be honest I wouldn’t be against him going out on loan and getting as many games and goals as possible
 
Would rather have Watmore and Coburn as 3rd and 4th choice

Agreed. Surely the idea is you sign better than what you have already to go straight into improving the first XI, then the existing first teamers become bench/ squad players. Get stronger and grow the squad strength in depth too.

I'm about as excited by this news as I was about deciding which brand of bog roll to buy at the supermarket.

Coburn needs to be loaned out to a League 1 or League 2 club.

I reckon three new strikers are going to be brought in so hopefully the other two we sign will be an upgrade on Gregory. He's probably going to be 4th choice.

Yeah exactly. Lee Gregory isn’t helping us at all. I could see him maybe going to Sunderland if they get promoted for back up to Stewart but we should not be interested in him if we have aspirations to get in the premier league. A 33 year old Lee Gregory, come on Boro. Hopefully bull****

I do get Wilder's points about attitude though and we need some experienced lads who will run through brick walls. A good example is Sheff Utd, I know they just missed out but their intensity compared to ours was night and day in the run in.
 
Thats one way to underwhelm the fans bringing this fud in, we should be looking for him at Sunderland, even the lad at Morecambe over this bloke.

We do but we need goalscorers up front. Nothing against Gregory, He’s a decent honest player who all fans like when he plays for their club. But we need better than him upfront to start and on the bench. The fact he dropped to league 1 initially says it all really . He’s a top end league 1/lower championship player
