No old heads please This would be a vintage Carlos signing , he was too young at 30 when Carlos took over though . I’d be really angry if we did sign yet another over the hill has been . I think it’s just a rumour and really can’t see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 As much as we need to go down a different route with age etc, we have never replaced Ross Wallace. Our most underrated player for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our most underrated player for a long time. Constantly put decent crosses into the box, took the game to the opposition and chipped in with a few goals. No one of his quality in the squad at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 34 year old and didn't play much last year. But his crossing ability is something we could do with so... I trust Bruce to make the right decision. Worth a gamble if cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We have an old midfield, the last thing we need is to add a 30+ player to that department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Downing going on 35 ,Get a young player signed with pace and sell on Value ,If he is not good enough for Boro ,Why the hell are we getting him ,Another player coming to sit in treatment room half of season.

I think they did want to keep him, just not on his current terms so they stopped playing him in order to ensure they didn't trigger a contract extension on his current terms. By doing this though, I think they just annoyed him. I'm not overly keen on us going for him but I'm fairly sure he won't be the only player we go for and the others will likely be a lot younger. He's a better set piece taker than anyone we have and he could bring some important experience to the squad but I'm not fussed too much either way on this one tbh.

Bouncing Owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If we sign Stewart downing, I will be extremely disappointed. We need 2 wingers or wide attackers and I want both to be young, pacy and fresh. No old gits on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 For me we’d be replacing George Boyd with George Boyd. Hopefully its just an agent trying to stir some interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield is definitely where we need those young legs. How old are you? Guessing a fair bit younger than 30 because if you were older than that you’d know that your athleticism isn’t yet on the decline at 30. we do need fresh legs though with pace and power.. but it’s more because Bannan/Lee aren’t overly physical players. It’s been a problem for the last 4 years so it’s not an age thing as we were saying the same when they were 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
