So would you rather have Allen/Rapha or O'Hare on the bench as your back up attacking midfield player? Who would give us the best chance of promotion?

I've already said this before...we've got Sheaf, Allen, Eccles, Rapha and Andrews as back up in midfield. If Rudoni is injured, Sheaf or Eccles can play a deeper role and push Torp forward.

I can't believe how many people would rather spend £2m on OHare than put it towards a CB... that's pretty much my main point.

We'd be wasting £2m on a position that we 'can' cover with decent players we've already got but are crying out for at least one new CB and potentially another ST.

That's where we need to spend money on. Not bringing O'Hare back.

If we got COH, his song would have to be tweeked to:
We've got O'Hare, Callum O'Hare I just don't think you understand, we let him go on a free, brought him back for a fee, we've got Callum O'Hare

I thought blues and Leicester looked poor tbh. That Leicester team won't be up there either. Depth on their bench looks weak and I thought neither Leicester or Birmingham looked to have much in the centre of the park.

Nevertheless Leicester have 9 pts from 4 games though till last night fairly easy games, don't write them off yet they're not in such disarray as some would make out.

A) it’s theoretical.
B) don’t make out it’s one or the other. We could easily do both (albeit may have to compromise on Woolfenden rather than Hughes).

 

[covcity4life]

Are Leicester gonna get a points deduction or what??? Why's it gone so quiet from EFL?

£10m

On a 30 year old who scored a few goals in the Sunday League.

Yet a few on here said he’s exactly what we need.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It doesn't 'mean little' let's just stop talking about football should we?

In the case of Leicester their depth is poor, and their midfield is weak. If winks/skipp get injured they are very very light. Up top is probably their only area of strength.

They have played 2 promoted teams, and Sheff wed so far. Probably an even easier start than we have had, so the eye test is probably a good thing to use in the championship thread in order to talk about them.

Birmingham, I think will be closer as they will get some good results, team is actually pretty good if they get a good CM in

Means little as in terms of predicting how a team will finish, not that it’s not worth discussing

I’m guessing a suspended points deduction… or it will end up being like minus 3 later on in the season

A) I know...so is all transfer talk on here...doesn't stop hundreds of pages of it!

B) I'm not. But the preference needs to be a CB. Surely that's clear?

Should be a full 12 for all the fucking about they’ve caused the EFL and EPL, cheating wankers

It wouldn't make sense to bring him back, we might as well of spent the 2m on his new wage contract last year

If you think we’re reactionary as a fanbase, the comments under this are something else.

What a set of entitled bellends. Said it before, but they’ve become insufferable since their new owners came in.

They've always been like it

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Completely passed me by that Tom Fellows left the Baggies for Southampton yesterday.
Mother-in-Law not happy - which, in turn, makes me happy.

 

[covcity4life]

Would like Stoke to draw with wba and sheff utd best Boro or another draw

Be nice to be top of the league going into the intl break!

 

[Evo1883]

Thats a crazy reaction to their 1st league defeat.

The problem is they told themselves they would sweep us all aside , reality is they won't

Let’s just concentrate on us

 

[Evo1883]

Sheffield uniteds midfield 3 should show you why they won't compete at the very top this year

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not sure whether I want Boro to compound Sheff U misery to force Hamer out, or a draw so Boro dont run away with it

 

[covcity4life]

Let’s just concentrate on us

Let's not. Their games start now, ours don't.

 

[Para1140]

borough looking dangerous. Should be 2-0 up waisted chances. Both O’hare and Hamer in starting 11 for utd

Not really. We haven’t gone into Administration. Man City cheated to stop
us getting top four in PL - so we missed out money then

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

A lot of empty seats at Boro.

Do us a favour and fck off to your own forum you cheating cunts. We aint interested

The stage is set from the Comms pundit angle,favourites etc.

 

[Marty]

Middlesbrough look a decent side, knocking it around well.

 

[DT-R]

Morgan Whitaker looking really useful for Boro. A real handful.
Boro looking really good. Moving the ball really quickly with quality.

How has Peck not walked for that there?!?! Thats a horrendous tackle!

Studs up and foot off the ground. Defo red

To be honest, half of the media told them that too.

Still only a few games in, so not writing them off just yet, but not impressed so far.

Well everyday except Saturday clearly

Wba 1 up against Stoke

 

[DT-R]

I do genuinely think there'll be at least 1 spot in the top 2 up for grabs (ie, not taken buy the usual parachute certs). There's no reason we can't take it, but I feel Boro will be our biggest competition for it. If we both fail, they'll be to ones to beat in the play-offs! Look really sharp, well drilled and hungry.


*they look like an Adi Viveash team. Working and hunting together off the ball, breaking quickly with it. Exciting, if not a little erratic.
