This does raise the question:-
Who will get the glorious position of unused substitute striker?
I thought AC would be a SHOE in for the role.
I love to see And One back in the fold.
I'm not sure Zeqiri is up for the challenge, unless we inexplicably find ourselves in the Swiss second...
As above.
He's 22.
Ferguson will be on loan.
unWelbeck seemingly staying.
5 substitutions allowed.
The club unlikely to buy an Alpha Dog #1 striker.
So basically the battle for 'unused sub' is between Connolly and Zeqiri.
If I were you I wouldn't be throwing my toys out in June, when you're...
I'm not entirely sure he's had 'sensible loans'.
Oddly the worst thing he could have done is score 2 goals against Spurs.
Had he 'Ben Whited' his path to the first team squad we'd have a better idea of where he's at.
I just can't believe Spurs Connolly is League One at best.
As much as he's...
Have the Boro manager say words to the effect of:-
'It would be nice to have AC here next season, he's really trained hard and has impressed me.
He could be massive for us with a season long commitment'.
It's too late for anything on the pitch.
Shame he played today I was really hoping Ferguson would bag a couple against Spurs tomorrow.
Lineker pronouncing him the next big thing, a sure fire hit, on national TV would do wonders for Ferguson.
We know, had he moved up the loan ladder, he wouldn't have been the hairy man-child Gary Lineker pronounced as 'the next big thing', as he'd have been playing his trade in League 1.
I'm not giving excuses for him and some of his lifestyle choices, but I'm not entirely sure I could deal with...
I will always believe that would have read 'underrated and too good for us', had he been given the luxury of a Ben White upbringing.
Another casualty of the club's striker blindspot.
