Otherwise, there is no reason why we can’t sign at least one player right now. The main reason we aren't signing a player right now is because there's none of the required quality available.

We will protect Hall by playing Dan Burn at LB. Targett has been behind Burn since the Autumn of 2022; don't see why that would suddenly change.

Protect hall by sacrificing our ability from our left flank :anguish: I love bdb but I do not want to see him trot out at left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Not saying I agree but that's exactly what they'll be thinking. Burn's had some good games at LB this season anyway. He's had some nightmares too, but it's not the death knell people say it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a worst outcome than having Targertt at LB imo. especially considering Schars out for awhile, Jammy is being sent away, Krafth is a sick note as it Botman. It's a gamble and one we don't need to take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonAbroad Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 From all reports it seems like Targett has been in very good form this season with a healthy run - he'd definitely have been an upgrade on Alex Murphy who we had to bring on for Hall on Saturday. We can't assume that we'll always have the fit CBs we need to have the luxury of putting Burn at LB, instead we're just gonna run Hall into the ground. Anyway, seems like the decision is made so too late now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcoolc157 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Pointless bringing anyone in who isn’t going to improve the squad… even if we did I doubt very much they’d get played anyway… Reckon we’re keeping our powder dry for some World Cup bargains… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improving the squad? No. Another LB cover for Hall would greatly improve the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I get that he is happy at boro, but if we need him here then he should pack his bags and head up here. If he wants to stay there then let boro pay his full wages.

Can’t see it happening… especially when we’ve Burn who can cover and Trippier who can play there… and Tino when he’s fit… and Alex Murphy who we haven’t really seen… Eddie selects starting players he’s tried and trusted… so he’s not going to bring in a ‘squad’ player and play him instead of a fit to play Hall either… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having PSR as an excuse either The summer was a shit show - wasted millions The crazy thing is summer 2026 requirement in terms of personnel are the same GK - CB - CM - RW - CF as a minimum - then 2 full backs There is simply no room for sentiment imo - you have to be ruthless this summer - Ramsdale - Trippier - Kraft - Schar - Willock - J Murphy - Osula are all surplus I’d be open to offers or try to flog Big Joe and Wissa to Saudi This summer has to be big and in parts creative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with him getting an extension and being backup and a bit-part-player next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
