fpowl Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Well we’re certainly going for it in the wide department maybe we are going for three interchangeable wingers and a late arriving midfielder just playing free flowing football We don’t need no strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Task Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) “Assuming he wants to stay, Marvin Johnson can surely do little more to earn a new Middlesbrough contract. At Luton Town, Johnson helped earned his side a point - providing the cross that saw Duncan Watmore equalise less than a minute after Boro had resumed play after falling behind. The assist was Johnson's sixth of the season - his first since Christmas. It had been such a positive first half of the season for the versatile left footer. His three goals and four assists by Christmas meant he topped Boro's goal contributions list. Despite starting just seven games this year, his four goals and six assists still leave him fourth on the list behind only Duncan Watmore, George Saville and Paddy McNair.” www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/marvin-johnson-surely-cant-much-20510043.amp Edited July 29, 2021 by Random Task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be, Cover for both full back and wing, another left footed option aswel given we'd only have Brown if Galvin goes out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 This still makes sense for me. Marvin Johnson can play LB, LWB, LM, LW. He could play in defence in a midfield or in a front three. I think we will only be playing 1 striker at a time with wingers and attacking mids supporting. If you think the club are looking to get the likes of Galvin, Hunt etc out on loan then we still need quite a few bodies coming into the squad as it's still really small.

StudentOwl Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Is this a "Well if you don't sign for us Josh Sims we can just pick someone else up" play? I doubt this is how it works, but I'd really rather we funnel any spare wages into a top League One striker than to overload on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Don't Sims and Johnson play on different sides anyway? Could see them both signing. We still need quite a few bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, like a lot of players we've brought in and are linked with he's fast, athletic and versatile. I am getting excited I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yes was reading that he played really well towards the end of last season. A lot of Boro fans surprised they didn’t offer him a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Marvin Johnson can even play as a striker, we'd really benefit from his adaptability. Would love Sims too, I've rated him as a really excellent winger for years. If we signed Johnson, Byers and Sims over the weekend that would be a serious statement of intent.

That doesn’t feel excessive to me Both Windass and Paterson are more comfortable out wide though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
