January transfer thread

Talking to one of the lads at work today that's a Boro fan. said he was impressed with some of our football at times. I said the Boro defenders are still looking for the ball before the 2nd goal.

 

Will be interesting to see how Mowbray sets us up on Saturday. Given the injury list, I can't see Amad and Stewart starting, Evans and Aji went off injured. Michut should come in for a start and hopefully Simms is back.

 

I don’t think we will field a weak side tbh. Every bloke that’s fit will start imo including Stewart who probs wants game time as he can’t stop scoring.

 

Reckon they will be wrapping up Ross in cotton wool after every game until we get at least one more striker in this window.

 

Hopefully Simms may be be back

 

Alese will start as he went off with cramp so needs the game time so reckon he will start. I reckon Ekwah will be on the bench and he might start Michut and Neil - wouldnt be against Neil being rested for the Milwall game

 

Yep... I concur, at least 2, and if we want to regularly to play 2 up front, 3 strikers in.

Realistically one definitely two we can but hope... three a minor miracle.

 

We won't be playing 2 up top.

 

No way would I be starting Stewart or Amad, possibly would rest Neil and Ballard too. The league is way too important to be risking our key players for the cup tie.

 

Did Simms play for Everton in the cup? He cuptied?

 

Is it? We’re not promoted at all costs kind of season. We can afford to go full strength

100% we will be trying to get through. Part of our sell to the young players coming here is the spotlight they will be under at Sunlun to boost their profile. A cup run only boosts that

 

no he not cuptied was a unused sub

 

Good shout

 

I suspect we will be pretty much full strength. We've got a week between games.

 

I think Fulham will be a good little test for our young side,see what we can do against a prem side but I just hope we don’t pick up any more injuries would be nice to cause a bit of an upset actually

 

Why would Roker Report have an inside scoop on the deal? I'm not sure I'm believing that, as good as it sounds. Why would West Ham let him go for free? They might as well have loaned him for the rest of the season and see if his performances got any bites for a fee in the summer.

 

In a world of spend spend spend we have not.

 

So how much did we spend, my words please, f all

 

In Bob we trust

 

A West Ham academy “ITK” account posted it on their Patreon as an exclusive last night before RR reported it. So I assume it’s from there
