Shance Posted 30 April, 2016 Share Posted 30 April, 2016 Billy Sharp never got a chance in the premier league! Because he wasn't good enough. Proven by what he's done since leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice2Eskimos Posted 30 April, 2016 Share Posted 30 April, 2016 He's useless in the Prem. He's shone in the Championship because that's about his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 1 May, 2016 Share Posted 1 May, 2016 He seems to be MOTM in every one of Boro's games nowadays. Maybe we need to reassess him. I must admit I never rated him when he was with us, but now he looks like someone we really need right now: an attacking midfielder who creates and scores goals consistently. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-fc-man-match-vs-11265929 yes he does .......in the Championship. Perhaps the fact that he was ignored by three successive Saints managers says something more. Don't expect RK to suddenly re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 1 May, 2016 Share Posted 1 May, 2016 Yep, Ramirez had plenty of chances and he isn't good enough for the PL. he's doing really well in the championship which is great for him but he's not going to come back to Saints and suddenly set the world alight.

VectisSaint Posted 7 May, 2016 Share Posted 7 May, 2016 Nasty gash, wasn't the most reckless challenge by Dale Stephens but still not very nice. Made Boro's goal that earned them promotion with a great free kick. Has been very influential in Boro's form since January. Will be interesting to see if Boro sign him now.

david in sweden Posted 9 May, 2016 Share Posted 9 May, 2016 Gaston has become a folk hero for 'Boro, and it'll be pre-season before he's back properly fit. They'll want to keep him. A good guess is that he will sign on and play for them in the Prem. ......Italy and Uruguay can wait a bit longer........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 9 May, 2016 Share Posted 9 May, 2016 I really don't think Boro will be able to afford his wages. You do realise that he is not on any wages after June? What we have paid him in the past is irrelevant. If Boro want him and offer him something sensible and no-one else offers him more then they will probably get him. Anyway with the new TV deal Boro like any other PL team probably can afford to pay him what we did (if they are mugs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyboy Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 Did Gaston really score five goals in twelve Championship starts? What did we do wrong?

saintwbu Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 Did Gaston really score five goals in twelve Championship starts? What did we do wrong? I know everyone will say 'oh it's in the championship', which yes in parts is a lower standard league, but I think Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester show that the gap isn't what it once was. In the games I watched him in, he looked like he could see what nobody else could, which sometimes I felt was the case here when he set up chances that no one else saw coming (West Brom at home for Lallana), but understandably if that only happens once every game or two then it does give the appearance of being a passenger. Hopefully he stays with Boro and makes a Premier League career, never seemed to be a problem within the squad like Osvaldo was, so I think a lot of the criticism is slightly excessive, he just wasn't what the manager required.

Saint IQ Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 (edited) Did Gaston really score five goals in twelve Championship starts? What did we do wrong? 7 in his first 15 games, according to this http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/im-enjoying-football-again-says-11349515 7 in 17 overall according to wiki Think we went wrong by buying him in a higher more demanding league. He has talent though I've always believed that but far more useful in a possession dominating attack minded side, a burden in a team say when we played Spurs away, we would of not won that game had he been on the team sheet Edited 20 May, 2016 by Saint IQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
