    I don’t think I’ve slagged any of the strikers we signed off, none of them were given a proper chance last season and were playing ahead of midfielders who were dreadful playing around a striker. I’ve given Mayenda nothing but praise first two games of the season.

    Probably signals the end of Rusyns time on Wearside. The kid is a hard worker, but there's something missing from his game. Anyway, onwards and upwards, lets see who comes in

    Didn't necessarily say you were

    People have praised boro who seem to have 4 and call it ambition

    I'd be worried if mendy was signed and got injured and left us just with mayenda and rusyn, too much pressure for them in what we are hoping is a promotion/play off season

    Can this also now disprove the fact our managers have no say in transfers or do we all still hate Speakman

    Not sure, don't think he is a CF, more of a forward who can play in a number of positions. Still think he has a lot to offer.

    I’ve never claimed Boro have ambition neither :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I’m just saying it’s another young striker with barely any experience under his belt that we’re taking a chance on. Hopefully Mendy still comes and this lad is back up however if we’re putting our eggs into this basket and sacking off Mendy then it’s not great.

    On one hand people say that if you aren’t happy clapping about every single player we sign then you aren’t a proper fan yet the same fans are far too stubborn to admit how many of these signings we’ve all been hyped up for have done absolutely nothing to improve us. Signing new players is always exciting but when you get chuffed time and time again watching videos, reading data etc then they turn out to be turd and news breaks that you’re after someone of a similar profile it’s hard to be overly/positive.

    No idea what you are on about, not sure you do either.

    You were confusing Russia and Ukraine, then implied it was all about the same because they were in a similar part of the world. A bit like, England, Scotland and Wales are, doesn’t make our domestic leagues anywhere near the same standard.

    Pre-war, Russia was a much higher standard, not so sure now but I’d guess the Russian league is still fairing better than poor Ukraine.

    Portsmouth signing a young CM from Dortmund, Kamara - watched this lad a couple yrs a go n he looked very good. Has all the raw attributes youd want, big powerful lad whose techncially good but had zero aggression when i watched him

    Looking forward to seeing how he gets on
