Bob Weasel Fox Posted 29 December 2016 Share Posted 29 December 2016 3 hours ago, AKCJ said: Think about what you're saying! We're Champions of England and in the last 16 of the Champions League. Middlesbrough are in their best position for about 7 years and it's one point above us. Were Stoke a bigger pull than Chelsea in the summer? Just because we're going through an awful spell of form (1 win in 9) does not suddenly mean we'll be competing with the likes of Hull, Boro and Swansea for players in January. That reads as big headedness but it's absolutely true. I wish Leicester fans weren't so miserable about our fortunes these days. We're in a phenomenal position as a club, the best we've ever been.

That's why it's a sideways move. This season maybe, but that's only because we've made a hash of the last four months - beyond the next six months we've got far greater ambitions than Middlesbrough (or at least the same ambitions- established top half and European contenders - are more realistic).

I wasn't talking about history though I'm talking about aspirations. The Doctor says top half and Europe is more realistic, ok that's fine and yeah I agree. It's this season that has sapped everything out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 29 December 2016 Share Posted 29 December 2016 Feel we missed the boat in the summer for Keane both price and ambition wise. And I'm not sure he has the fondest of memories from his time here from what I'm lead to believe so we certainly won't be his 1st choice in our current state. As for Gibson not seen loads of him but hear really good things. But then we all know about hype around young lads we see as our own, stearman, mattock, Moore etc. And as pointed out the lad is at his home town club with a uncle as chairman I'd suggest it's gonna take a huge offer silly money and a big step up for him to move on. Boro may not be backed by billionaires but Gibson is ambitious to a point. League cups and Europe are not beyond them although unlikely to be a regular occurance.

HoustonFox Posted 30 December 2016 Share Posted 30 December 2016 Can't believe the amount of spaffing over Keane. He was ok when he played for us but as I remember it, he got shredded on here nearly every week. Way too much money in my opinion. Maybe if we could get him for 10m, it would be ok.

He's well overpriced. But the market rates him, so he's beyond our budget or common sense I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're 100% convinced he definitely can't have improved in the 100+ games he's since played as a 19 year old for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he hadn't improved. Just that people are talking about him like he is the new Maldini. So you think we should pay £25M for him then?

FLAN Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 Someone on bentleys reckons he's ours for the magic "18m" if Burnley sign Brady with Mee moving to the centre. Doesn't exactly fit to Geoffs "hasn't played CB" though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes too busy signing a free transfer from Spain who had big interception stats from a team relegated. Would the fact they were getting battered result in the defence making more tackles and interceptions? Its been said said ad Infinitum but what on earth were they doing over the summer.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 The one player linked that really excites me. I always thought we missed a trick when we didn't make his Loan permanent when he was here the first time around. He showed so much potential for an 18/19 year old. He carries on going the way he is, he will be a top top centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
