I never understand what people actually mean when they describe a footballer as a ‘luxury’.
If his per 90 defensive stats are generally better than Sakamoto’s, he’s absolutely not a point in any sense of the word.
hmmmm we need defenders first and foremost (in my opinion). Yes our goals have dried up a little, but we're still scoring, its the calamaties at the back that are making the whole team nervous.
The issue there is that the manager only trusts two of the 5 available full backs to start.
Struggled at times in a shit team but got obvious quality. This is a good signing IMO.
I think it means they wish their team played attractive football, and so contained such players - whereas in reality their squad is full of donkeys who just clogg the ball into outer space and rugby tackle the opposition in order to grind out points.
With these 2 sounding done and word of another loan agreed. Takes the pressure of Doug a little bit to get a couple of quality permanent deals over the line while the window is open. Id think most would be happy with the start

I overlooked people saying we need defenders but now I totally agree. The Birmingham game was atrocious defending. The through ball from Patrick Roberts was quality but the defence were like statues. Our biggest problem which to me is glaringly obvious is the ridiculous high line we play and teams have sussed it and MVE and JDS are constantly in a winger position when we get caught out. It's risk and reward but lately it's all risk and no reward which is costing us. Maybe the tactics need changing so we're not so high up the pitch. I do admire Frank for his reaction to formation changes though.
I wish MvE had been in the winger position rather than playing the attacker onside.
And it didn't take long did it? Because there was very little left needed to round out the squad
We have the essentials we needed now
Won't say no to a midfielder or striker if lampard wants it of course
Basette can be harry kane?Whilst that's good stats for such a young age it's the K league. What is good though he's had Championship experience. Let's just pretend it's Heung Min Son
apparently boro wanted YMH but YMH wanted Cov
Hard to take much notice of the opinion of a player's former supporters, I remember seeing people laugh at us for taking McGoldrick and Gyokeres on loan as two particular examples.
And this is it. Who has shone for Pompey this year? I’ll tell you who…none of them. Including Murphy.
I tell a lie Terry Devlin is supposed to have looked good.
More bitter press from Pompey. Funny how they wouldn’t write this while he was with them.

Where's that come from because I live in Teesside and work with obviously loads of Boro fans and concrete evidence of this could give me some ammo because as you could imagine I get hammered simply because we turn them over everytime and the play offs.
Oh my god I’m so sorry, hopefully you won’t be there for long!
Shite articles like this should only fuel him to smash it with us.
Yasin Ayari was shite with us but now plays every week in PL. Sometimes it just doesn’t work at a club, especially if you’re a young player at a relegation candidate like Portsmouth.

3 goals in 16 appearances in a shite team isn't bad for a young kid in a robust league.

I agree wholeheartedly that they are very friendly lovely people, and I like all the Boro fans I have met. However, if you agreed to pay me £5,000,000, I still wouldn’t live in Teeside. Hopefully your sentence will be reduced and your parole officer will allow you to relocate soon.
Who care's what some Villa supporter from Nuneaton thinks!
It will be a real boost if we sign this lad and Esse. It means we don't have to flog Sakamoto & EMC into the ground as we have been in danger of doing, and can make dynamic changes from the bench when needed, that should give us much needed energy as the season grinds to a conclusion.
I started to believe you until tou said the missus...they are always fucking miserable moanersBeen up here a while now and I tell you one thing northerners are the friendliest bunch of people you'll meet including the missus
Doug has clearly been smashing the Apres in Les Alps. He’s going to wake up tomorrow morning with a banging headache and then remember than he made two more loan signings…

Is this going to turn into another hot wife thread?
This is a signing I’m very excited about. He’s got so much untapped potential
Imagine being a championship RB you've just spent 60mins getting smashed about and skinned by EMC just for him to come off and this lad to come on.
Brilliant depth signing
