Groundhopping Owl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Boro fans are wondering about a swap deal with Snodgrass and Traore. No idea if that's on the table but they're both players that seem to bounce around a fair bit searching for the right fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Whilst it would be a wrench to leave united he has Demi god status there and that could change quickly should they struggle next season. A move to Sunderland or the Premier league would maintain that, earn him more cash and enhance his reputation. Megson left at a time that kept his rep intact here at a former club/his club. Had Jones left after promotion he'd be better remembered too. Would be hilarious too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we brought him in, I honestly could see him having a Lee or Forestieri impact on the team. He's versatile; skillful, improving, exciting, scores good goals, assists and he's an international. From what I have seen of him, he looks like he's going to get better and he's already a significant cut above Reach to be honest. We'd do well to bring him in or anyone better, as it already seems the likes of Ince; Snodgrass and Jota, etc are out of our reach and maybe Lawrence might be too? I hope not, because I would love us to sign him or someone like him to improve us. It's easier when you're the top dog in a poor side we're nothing's really expected but it'd be totally different here, chuck in a inflated transfer fee and we'll have another Reach situation IMO.

That's a fair point but from what I have seen of him, especially for Ipswich and Wales, he looks like he's more than just a flash in the pan or a show pony among donkeys. He drives them on, links up well and he looks exciting whenever he gets a chance for Wales too. He's a former Man United youngster like Lee. I reckon he needs to be given a full season somewhere, and he will improve further. A season long loan with a chance of a permanent deal or between a couple of million to a few million, will be good value if he continues to improve. Personally I think he would be far better than Reach and would improve us. I could be wrong but to me he looks like he's got something about him to do well.

All players playing in the Premier League WANT to do well in the Prem. Obviously the major difference is is that not all can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Premiership class imo. Snodgrass is a much better player. Edited June 16, 2017 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say they are usually good at spotting developing young talent in lower leagues, much better than ourselves. Really like their recruitment philosophy. Very interested in how some of their new signings will do next season. Talking about Barnsley... Would anyone like to see Matty James here. If he can stay injury free, he would be top end Championship player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty James would improve us defensively whilst Tom Lawrence I reckon would improve us going forward. If we could get them both from Leicester that would be very smart business. Barnsley do seem to discover some young gems. If they were smarter with their contracts, then they would probably bring more money in and do well. The player that stands out there for me is their new captain and centre back Marc Roberts, he looks like someone that could play for a top Championship club or at a higher level.

Why do we only buy players like Lindsay after they've proved themselves a team teams like Barnsley and they prices have increased x10 rather than just do some scouting and buy in players cheaply ourselves? Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we be looking at this lad who played 42 matches last year and scored 7 goals? A second club has matched the fee but have not been named. If you had time to build, random gems are a great way to do it. I think we're trying to rush it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Forestieri leaves, we will have succeeded in turning an exciting side, capable of playing scintillating football, into a side so dull, and lacking inspiration, we can barely watch it, in less than 12 months. You don't sell players like Forestieri, you build a side around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Getting to the point where I'm not that fussed anymore. Too much baggage and how long before the toys come out of the pram? Good player but he's no Carbone. We have a great chairman who has and will continue to back us in the transfer market. We aren't a slave to players in this league. 8-10 million could help us reshape the squad with players that are hungry for success. I trust DC to make the right call either way.

Firmly believe that it is Forestieri's call, if he says he wants to leave then this time we won't stand in his way. But I don't think we will be actively looking to sell him.
