TRon Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 All this because Tron mentioned signing 'a Shane Long type' Well I did put the 'type' in there for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not really impressed with the constant McCormack rumours. At 29 not really someone I'd hope we considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberts Mustache Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not really impressed with the constant McCormack rumours. At 29 not really someone I'd hope we considered. Proven goalscorer with a strong assist record in his best age. Why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 His £12m release fee is excessive but I'd take him for a lower price, although I'd start Mitrovic and Perez ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not really impressed with the constant McCormack rumours. At 29 not really someone I'd hope we considered. Proven goalscorer with a strong assist record in his best age. Why not? 30 by the time the season starts, hardly the best age. While he's proven in the Championship he's very unlikely to be able to make the step up if/when we're promoted. Got to be better options out there.

Leazes_End_Mag Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Give me Danny Ings over McCormack every single time. Can't see Ings getting much of a look in next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Another one for the 'proven Championship striker' debate. Nugent got 8 in 36 for Boro last season, Rhodes 6 in 18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Gayle, Ulloa or Ings upfront would be good options. Hoping we can try for one of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ings.... There will be 10+ Prem teams after him if he's available. I really don't see what's wrong with McCormack or Rhodes if we insist on signing a striker, although I'd rather stick with what we've got (Armstrong, Toney, Ayoze and Mitro). We don't need to go OTT to get back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We won't get back up with mitro Perez and Armstrong as our strikers, not enough goals! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We won't get back up with mitro Perez and Armstrong as our strikers, not enough goals! Mitro's record under Benitez wasn't bad tbh. I think Mitro will score 15+ league goals this season. As a side well probably score twice as many this season or more so should expect everyones numbers to go up significantly.

Guest chopey Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Scoring goals is my main concern for next season, if wini and sissoko leave, mitro will defiantly have a dry spell and cisse looked so bad last year he couldn't even control the ball. It's probably a ridiculous shout but I would try for Bony from man city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We won't get back up with mitro Perez and Armstrong as our strikers, not enough goals! Keep seeing this. Abel Hernandez scored more for Hull last season than Rhodes and Nugent put together for Boro. Abel having a similar goal record to our two when Hull went down, Rhodes and Nugent being as 'Championship proven' as you'll ever get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Also, Perez and Mitrovic had good scoring records in leagues at least the same level as The Championship before we signed them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Reckon Perez in particular could score a hat full, so long as he gets his confidence back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If Townsend stays, I wouldn't be surprised if he was top scorer or at least close to it. He'll certainly be near the top of the attempts on goal stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven goalscorer with a strong assist record in his best age. Why not? He wasn't great with Leeds, and I just wouldn't really want him at his age.Yeah great as a back up for a few million but reports of 10-12. Naa. We should look to offer Liverpool a part ex for Gini on Ings if there is any truth in the rumours Liverpool & Chelsea or Roma are looking.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Going to go out on one here but I don't think we'll get relegated to League 1 if we don't sign Ross McCormack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Not buying McCormack because of his age is exactly the kind of thing that has seen us relegated in the first place. Not really,no evidence of that. All this prolific crap in the championship means nothing. You could argue Shola was prolific in the championship, when we were down there wasn't it a three horse race who would finish top scorer for us? Between Carroll Nolan and Shola, Shola played the least games through injury so who knows if he would have out scored the other two. It was Nolan in the end who scored the most. We will walk the division if we keep 60% of the team we have now. I would love McCormack to sign if it was 3-4m but the reports of a 30yr old at 10-12 are stupid.
