He does not play pretty football but he is very effective in the championship and a very good record not to mention very good contacts many forget he played for Real Madrid for 5 years in his playing days. In other words he had one good job at Boro, Forest he didn't set the world alight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ayala was off to Leeds wasn’t he? Karanka is another Carlos but without the personality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bashiru seems like the exact type we need in there, a midfielder with strength and legs to get up and down. Not enough of these Gerrard types nowadays. Another avenue we need to be looking is league one/two and hunting the gems from below. Our finances dictate we can't sign ex-prem players like FF, Fletch etc anymore. Teams like Preston and Brentford have done brilliantly plucking the gems and we need to get better at it fast. Plenty of league one players who can make the step up, hope we can find a striker or two from down there. FF was never an ex prem player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not sure if we'll be looking at CB, considering the amount of forwards and wing backs we need. We have Iorfa, Borner, Palmer, Lees, Van Aken, Urhoghide plus a couple of others who could do a job in emergencies (Odubajo, Shaw). If we didnt have so much to do elsewhere in the team, yes definitely needs attention, but given the quick turnaround, might be too big a task and dependent on one or more of those leaving.
