Boro thread

[Big Bellyingham]

Recall the uproar on here when we didn’t sign him or Diaz

Funny how things turn out
Now we hope the big man kicks on after his heroics last season ( he may not have had got a chance had we signed those two for a lot of dosh )

In what way? Surely you can’t mean in a positive way? No idea who their next manager is going to be and a squad that is not good enough for top 6. Add to that they will likely sell their best player in Hackney and I can’t see them splashing much money if reports are to be believed. I really don’t see next season being a good one for them. If the manager turns out to be Rob Edward’s, the serial relegation man (likely with him being close to Keiran Scott their director of football) then I see nothing but mid table mediocrity at best. Here’s hoping anyway

Could have said the same about us last year

But we didn’t get Rob Edward’s in as manager. Thankfully.

Is Hackney good like ? There’s talk of Spurs being in for him

Very good player from what I've seen of him, bit like Jobe he is one of those players that will suit the way prem teams play and would actually do better surrounded by more gifted players against teams employing slightly less rudimentary tactics.

He will likely go to a bottom half/mid table prem team for about £16-20 mil I reckon.

Well, to be fair Sunderland fans are normally pretty quiet

They are from the distant land of the Premier League. Enjoy your derby against, erm, 'Ull.

He’s only worth £5m from what I’ve seen.

£4m is a lot to pay for him.

Looking at the standard on premier league players like Dan Neil & Rigg, I’d say £3m might be a better starting point.

I remember boro. I remember when their posters were trying to tell me that chuba akpom was better than Amad

Boro supporters will surprise a lot of people here next year.

Last post on this thread from a Boro fan was Tuesday lunchtime - and that was to have a pop at our fans.

Unless one of them decides to come back and bump it to discuss the new manager we might as well let this turd flush.

For all of his commitment to Middlesbrough over the years, Steve Gibson doesn't half make some shocking decisions. What a shocker of an appointment that would be.

He only employs unemployed managers, is that correct?

I've no idea but casting my mind back over his last few appointments then that might be true.

I've seen a few people mention that, but to be honest I've not been arsed enough to want to check it out - you could well be right.

A lot of rumour it’s going to be Edwards but that we are trying to get Sheff wed to budge on Rohl
