Shetland Owl Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Middlesbrough striker Ashley Fletcher has arrived on Wearside for a medical ahead of a loan move to Sunderland until the end of the season. The 22-year-old striker, who only signed for £7m in the summer, has struggled for game time since Tony Pulis took the job. Think this ends any speculation about Big Dave or Rhodes signing for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Don't do that FFS. I thought we'd got 40k a week (or whatever it is) off the wage bill for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously lack pace in all areas of the team but we don't need another striker who hasn't proven to be clinical yet at this level. He may well turn into a fine player but 1 goal every 5 games, most of which came in League One hardly shouts prolific. It was only 2 seasons ago that we got both Hooper and Forestieri for less than he cost Middlesbrough in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just couldn’t get bodies in the box quick enough and there was only really Joao and Reach who made the kind of runs to stretch a team on the counter. I think if we ended up playing 4 2 3 1 which Jos prefers, he is the kind of player along with Joao and Matias who could play in the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
