Karanka has already said yes to taking part as a PLAYER.
You can criticise but has there ever been one player as exciting to watch since Juninho as Traore in his last season under Pulis?

I'm glad you were pleased with the overall style of play and the entertainment Rob, I wasn't that's all.
 
Am just saying to remember Traore playing under Pulis - don't forget who amazing he was to watch.
Whatever you may say about the Pulis years he did bring the very best out of one of the most exciting players I have ever seen in a Boro shirt. Still, he won't be playing next season.
Quite obviously anyone that played under Karanka or more recent would run rings round a team from the 90s or early 2000s because of fitness levels. Most of them are still playing.
 

Dont know if posters have seen this, the initial start up interview from Mikkel Beck & Jan Aga Fjortoft

Mikkel Beck still looks fit enough to play today

And do people credit Robbo and Mclaren for Juninho being exciting to watch? Never heard it once. Adama would have been exciting to watch no matter who was managing him, Pulis sympathizers just cling on to it because Adama's form was his only 'success'.

I was looking at when I was on BoroTV, which was over 3 years ago & seen this, brilliant viewing (y)
 
Adama freely admits the role Tony Pulis had in giving the confidence to finally fulfill his potential. It is only with the benefit of hindsight that you say he would always have performed like that. He didnt do it at Villa. Aitor tried to coach and coax him but with only limited success. Garry Monk failed. At Wolves it took him a full season to get back to the heights he achieved at Boro and finally exceed them.
 
Pulis did the one thing that his previous managers failed to do. Played him every single game. Karanka for all his intractable son of a bitch stubbornness has even gone on record and said he shouldn't have been switching him to the left and just let him get on with his game.
 
Karanka had him for half a season in the prem, Monk was dreadful, Pullis had an absolute gem and played him as the wildcard in his super strict system. With the players/resources available any half decent manager would have smashed the league. Adama just needed game time.
