We tried, but wow the wages that these players are on we couldnt get to 10% and that was just on loans. 2. These loans are not free, we've brought in 4 players and the owners have backed us all the way. 3. We looked at a few, the money was there, but they were not right for this club. 4. I've challenged Sam and Ben to make that striking role their own. Its always been the plan, we did it with Arma, he played wide in the early days but then we moved him into his favoured position and reaped the benefits. With the loan additions in wide areas, the time for Sam and Ben is now. 5. Look everytime i've asked for that bit extra in funds the owners have always supported me, on this occasion the money was there, but we just couldnt get the one we wanted, the valuations were crazy. 6. Look we have the January window and we've kept our key players, Dacky is to come back, and then we have some good young players chomping at the bit. Unfortunately Glen I think you've absolutely nailed it. These arseholes produce so much horseshit they should sell roses 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khadra and Poveda will probably come with guaranteed playing time as part of their package (to negotiate the price down), agree? I’m all for this return to 1960’s style football. Two wingers and two strikers up the front. Tony’s a master strategist bringing back 4-2-4. Just watch, they’ll all be playing this way by Xmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruaney Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 No real words to describe this shambles of a window (if it stays like this). All of these wingers being brought in to play false 9 makes me angrier than it should. Mowbray hoping at least one of these players comes good but it shouldn’t come down to this. where’s the forward planning? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I can’t believe there wasn’t a current or ex Boro striker that Mowbray couldn’t sort out for a few quid. That’s when you know we’ve got problems signing any bugger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bit about the entire thing is that Mowbray is loading up his team to play in a 4-3-3 (or variations of) and a 3-5-2 (or variations of). Unfortunately all these flighty wingers we're signing (on loan, mind) don't fit into a 3-5-2 and obviously you can't start all these CBs in a 4-3-3. You'd think a club on a shoestring budget would commit to a tactic / style of play and cut their cloth accordingly. Not Mowbray though - but to be fair he knows far too much about football to explain his thinking to us. Genius.

Not many attacks in the league as poor as that. Sam Gallagher 2 in 5 Ben Brererton 3 in 5 x9 = playoffs 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Angry_Pirate Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2021 So, after basically 4 months, we've signed: 2x League 1 left backs for £500k each. 2x PL kids on loan at 5ft 5" each. 2x Brighton kids/cast offs on loan. Marvelous. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
