Good goalscoring record in the Championship, and seems to have been a key player there up until he fell out with Warnock. Warnock’s a cunt though, so I’d be more concerned if he didn’t fall out with him. He's scored 45 goals in the last 4 seasons and he has a notable lazy attitude. Warnock tried everything including making him captain and that still didn't work. He wasn't really a "key" player but I think the club wanted to get the minutes out of their highest paid player who they paid 17 million for. He's flopped big time and a lot of that is down to his poor attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,305 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Honestly a meh, like others have said on here any time I've seen him he's looked lazy. (right enough don't watch him every week) but at 28, no re-sale can't see this being the type of deal we'd go for tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dado'sMulls 2,625 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Doesn't seem like the type we'd go for, maybe throwing others off the scent while we bag a gem from elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,023 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I haven't seen him play so if we do sign him you just have to put trust in the scouting, but his recent record doesn't read well at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on his wages it could be worth the risk on a free. 1 in 3 in the championship is decent. Sinclair had similar comments regarding his attitude, performances pre the scum and at 27 completely dominated this league for 2 years. His wage demands will be high. He's the highest paid in the Boro team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point but Sinclair at his best did enough to get a move to Man City(I know home grown rule played a part but still) Assombalonga at his best didn't even manage to get into the Premier League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would depend how much he was willing to sacrifice. We do pay high wages to Defoe who has hardly played this season. Take your point but that doesn't mean he couldn't be successful up here. I would prefer Sakala personally. Tav only has 36 minutes of action in the PL and would walk into most sides in that division imo. McBurnie plays in that overrated league and is utter shit, linked with Wolves for next season as well. Eh?!?! Surely not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsey 1,540 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Used to be very good back in the day but he's been off it for a while. Have him in a fantasy football thing with some friends so I've ended up watching him a bit this season. Looks unbelievably sluggish and liked he couldn't give two shits.

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Just does not seem like one of our type of signings. I can't see our management team sign someone with a known poor attitude. Although if Warnock is the manager you could maybe understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,122 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Mates a Forest fan and raved about him. Got a move to Boro and looked Premiership bound. Fast, Powerful and a proper handful. Fuck knows what's happened at Boro, they've been shite and gone through a few managers, which won't have helped. Unless he's been battered with injuries I imagine there's still a player there.

bluenoz 30,960 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I sent a text to a mate of mine who is a Boro fan. This was his reply... Cost us 15 million four years ago and we paid him 40 grand a week. He was not worth that investment. Saying that he never had the right players around him to suit his style He was prolific when he played Forrest I would say he would be a bad signing but he will cost you nothing. Just his wage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,609 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 If he was prolific while at forest but guff at boro, then seeing how both teams play is the key, Remember for all our possession etc up here, we don't often create a lot of clear cut chances for our main striker, its chances passed around the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 No what we really need IMO. May work in Europe but I think we need someone more along the lines of Dado Prso for the Scottish game and the dreaded low block. If we can pose a genuine threat from the great crosses usually supplied by Messrs Tavernier and Barisic then they will have to come out and try stop the cross which will create space in the box. Or we can keep playing winger instead of strikers up front and rely on one 5'9 Colombian against the opposition defence or the likes of Hagi trying to thread the needle into a space that doesnt exist when this low block is played well.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Sounds to me that our recruitment team are simply doing their job and doing due diligence on a number of players so that if Alfredo goes we have identified potential replacements and can move fast. Just the way it should be. Free transfer but big wage he sounds to me more like a possible replacement for Roofe (if we can get our money back on him).
