Winter Improvement Thread (aka Winter Squad Weakening Thread and TWF Suicide Watch)

Does anyone think Kike was at the top of our "replace Benik" list on January 1st? Did we even have a "replace Benik" list?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Benik is gone, we have one forward in, and hopefully a second to follow today. Raking over history is pointless.

I suppose it is. Then again, this is a football forum...

I'm more making a point about our recruitment, about spending around £5m of the Benik money on forwards none of us are hugely enthusiastic about and what those two forwards might mean for the style of play...

But now being reported that M/bro Gazette says Kike won't be leaving...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What a quote free zone that Gazette article is.

They understand and that is it.

Waiting game it is.

 

[WalsallWolf]

I would rather us try Bright or Ennis if the Kike deal does not materialise. I do not wanting us signing for the sake of it. See ALF.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Ennis is out for the season.

 

[Aikiwolf]

Just been chatting to a boro fan. He seems to rate Kike massively and thinks his lack of goals is due to a lack of consistent game time.

He's not happy that boro are even considering selling him!

Vaz Te been released by Charlton, could be a barrel scraping saviour.

 

[Freddeno]

He was very good a few years ago, had some injuries, like him as a player

[MARKakaJIM]

There's been a few on here mentioned him as a viable option in the past.

Wouldn't be my choice mind.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Three years ago maybe.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Ismael off to Oxford for a month. Last chance saloon.

He's off regardless,
According to family of his Ive met.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is out of contract in the summer. We won't be renewing it.

 

[Lycan]

Ritchie De Laet going to Boro on loan. Would've liked him here as a short term option, he's mainly a right back but can play on the left side as well.

 

[thehistorymakers]

Henry going to Glasgow

Not happening now according to Sky.

 

[Alan]

A few pages late, but on Nils Peterson, can't see it happening. Would be the equivalent of Sako joining us back in the day which was also hugely surprising.

 

[Jinky]

Rhodes has turned up at the 'boro training ground. Kike on his way then?
