Saint Garrett

Cortese OUT!!!!

He's normally pretty reliable tbf

Have had a chat with my mate who is a boro fan. He reckons he'll be fourth choice. I said there is no point us loaning him to them if he won't play. Hopefully he gets a fair few games and does the business for him.

Toby was spectacular last season, and Lovren as much of a sh!t season he had last season, he was pretty spectacular for us.

FWIW, I thought Yoshi had a really good game last night, very likeable player too.

Surprised they've managed to get £9m for him. Isnt particularly gifted, and seems a bit of a tosser.

Really like the look of Cedric and especially Juanmi...looks a cracking buy.

At SMS tonight?

What happened to the ITK thread? Would expect us to be after another CB and another midfielder.

Decent fourth choice CB.

Was thinking the same, but might go down to away goals....do we go all out in the first leg? or play not to concede...?!

Would he get in a championship side!? I'm not convinced from what I've seen, but certainly would do him good going out on loan. I'd be tempted to loan him to someone like Swindon until January, then if he does well either extend, or send him to a Championship club then.

30482-9174 is the league pin - was set up by myself.

Looks good, can't wait to be back in there, and a game under the lights....beautiful. COYS!!!

Fair point. Would be interested to know how much we had 2 CB's missing last season at once. I guess the problem is that if one gets injured for 3/4 months, then if another picks up a niggle then it's down to either Stephens or Turnbull to step up. As others have said, if Caulker is on small wages, and brought in as fourth choice, I have no problem with that, but we need a top CB to replace Toby, preferably one who is very happy with the ball at his feet. Could we persuade Ashley Williams to come here? Were rumours he was off to Palace. If he good enough to be first choice?

Not convinced we need two CB's, just need a top drawer one. Could Turnball/Stephens play 5 games this season? Yeah probably. Caulker doesn't really interest me, I think he's poor, and too slow. Doesn't have the footballing brain to anticipate either IMO. Happy to be proven wrong though...

We all know this. Yoshida is a brilliant third choice to have, but not a first choice CB all season. A top CB needed.

Fair point - although I think we need to get at them in the first leg. Will be a very tough away leg.

-------Stekelenberg Cedric Fonte Yoshi Targett -----Wanyama Clasie Tadic ---Juanmi----Mane ----------Pelle JRod to come on and turn the screw and bag our second of the night, 2-0.

Woahhhhhh...are you saying Toby, Jos, and Lovren were all bad signings?!

Love it.

What tweet?

Bring in one top CB and have Turnball or Stephens as fourth choice.

I'd hope this is the case, rather than him just having zero motivation to impress Ron...!

Forster Cedric Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Wanyama Clasie Mane Juanmi JRod Pelle Obviously we'll probably replace Yoshi and bring someone else in, and you could argue Tadic/JWP/Davis instead of Juanmi, but this lad looks really good from the little I've seen of him - think we'll be a very dangerous side with those front 4. Obviously also depends who we play.
