Talking to Ameobi

I am a bit down re Boro.
Every player we are linked with makes me sigh or shrug, but then I remember we haven't got a pot to **** in and remind myself to lower any expectations.
There are not going to be celebrations around anybody we sign, so we will just have to wait and see how Warnock assembles them, organises them and motivates them.
In the words of Forrest Gump, "You never know what you're going to get".
You'll be longing for the day's of Britt and Fletch before long 👍
 
We are fishing in the £10 to 15k/week a pool - I would guess Bolasie wants £30k/week.

I would be more tempted to take a risk on some hungry Division 1 players, but it may take a fee.
Said same on another thread. There is no future in any of these approaching thirty players. Gamble on a lower league player and you might get a gem who could help us financially in future.
I'm sure there is hungry lower league players we could take a chance who would put in more than Ameobi will.

Please no I hate Forrest Gump😉🤣🤣
 
I have to say that everytime I've seen him on TV for forest he looked alright.

I guess he's inconsistent and 'flatters to decive' yet show me a winger who doesn't? The very definition of a winger is to have no end product and inconsistent 😂

He's definitely not the worst we've been linked with. I would say he's been a champo regular for a few years so definitely good enough.

You can't beat 20 step overs without crossing. I mean Sterling kept doing it the other night.

If you think Ameobi is anywhere near a free replacement for Bolasie, then I am not sure football is for you. :cool:

Bolasie was clearly better than anything we had at the club last season yet unbelievably some posters remained unconvinced. Unfortunately, we are shopping in the bargain basement and it's looking increasingly like we ain't gonna be able to afford Bolasie...

Each to their own but I'd rather take a punt on Bolasie, rather than buying 2 or 3 players all on 10k per week, who may not even be good enough for the first team.

I understand we will need a healthy sized squad but this is where we need to make use of the academy.
 
I would have Bolasie if money was not an issue - if we had the parachue payments he probably would have signed - there does not seem rush for him at present suggesting he wants £30k plus/week. He might get that later in the Summer, but very unlikely from us. I base that on the £13k/week we offered George Friend to stay. Bolasie could be offered more at Boro, but not £30k/week.

I am not down beat, we just have to do our research more and be a bit more cleverer, like Brentford and Barnsley have been.
 
For me, I'd feel confident about our chances of making the playoffs at least if we had this team below, or something very close. We would only need 2 extra additions, along with Bolasie.

Fry potentially leaving would also free up some extra cash of course but I'd like to think he will stay.

I reckon you could put Smith in at centre Forward and we have signed the GK
 
The problem we have, which has been the case for a number of seasons, is the front end of the team.

Whilst the attacking positions are the most difficult, not to mention the most expensive, part of the team to fill, we have still come woefully short of getting our moneys worth.
