The 2024 Summer Transfer Window.

Not a new signing but nice to rad Michael Carrick on Josh Coburns progress & plans

https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/24350111.michael-carricks-update-middlesbrough-forward-josh-coburn/

Not for me, he's been crocked for almost two seasons now. We can't afford to be banking on players with that record unfortunately. I'm not saying the lad won't be able to do it, but for me he needs to be playing games consistently, not as third choice behind LL and the other striker we are looking to bring in. God help us if we go again with just the two up top.

He's 21yo and went 10 in 35 for Bristol 2022/23 last season he outperformed Tom Cannon at Leicester who we were in for last summer. Folks are far too quick to write young players off and are too easily swayed by twitter Doyle's.

I concur with Red Steel. And to quote his stats from Bristol Rovers - 10 in 35- is that supposed to impress us ? For a striker I am underwhelmed. The expectations of him outweigh his ability to perform as a goal scoring striker in the Championship.

If we are serious with our promotion aspirations we need to be ruthless with player selections. A non/ poor scoring striker we've had more than our fair share in the past.

Remember he only was with us last season as we couldn't get a striker in! Hardly a ringing endorsement!

That striker was Tom Cannon.. who he out performed by scoring goals in the championship.

And Cannon has a lot to prove also.However to me he would inspire a tad more confidence in him becoming a goal scorer within the Championship.All about opinions is it not?

Yeah, if Josh's injuries can be controlled he'll be a solid Championship striker next season.

I think he could behind Finch in the pecking order. Still we will see in due course.

We have some exciting academy strikers! Remember when we could only make right backs?

Not really news. Pretty much everyone expected this.

So who leaves then? Fry? Lenihan? Clarke? Dick Van Dyke? Or just cover for Paddy?

We were in for him before.. I can't see us being in for him now tbh big bucks player who had a bad injury.. I could see him going to Rangers with his brother. File under.. probably not.

This is a much superior transfer thread.

Lets have yer guesses then.

[Johnny Thunder]

I hope the central midfielder is to play alongside Hackney and not replace him.
Hopefully a ball playing destroyer.

A high level striker and a versatile forward will not be cheap.

 :carrick2:

There's another one?

 

[newyddion]

https://x.com/Boro_Breakdown/status/1796462769728074122




Lets have yer guesses then.

Central midfielder:Ethan Erhahon
High level striker: Cameron Archer
Versatile forward 10: Chuba Akpom

[Johnny Thunder]

I don't think we could afford Archer and Akpom. Never mind the wage they are both on.

Loaning them would be the only way but that does not fit in with the new model.


We will see though. It would probably give us the best front four in the championship.

It sounds daft and doesn't fit the model.. but McNair & O'Brien will have been on a decent wedge.. Greenwood, Hoppe, Coulson?

We were in for Archer at one point.. so why not? He didn't exactly set the prem on fire at Sheffield.

Akpom.. oooh.. if he wanted to come back.. you'd fancy it for a pop at the big time.. wouldn't you?

I trust Kieran Scott and look forward to seeing what he comes up with. Ethan Erhahon sounds interesting..

[Johnny Thunder]

Erhahon does sound interesting. I guess it's just a case of can he make the step up.

I have confidence in our recruitment so we will see what unfolds.

he certainly fits the bill of 'a central midfielder'

Ethan Erhahon £640,000><£900,000 - Lincoln after looking after a record transfer fee.. but it sounds under £1m
(Harry Toffolo has been there record transfer fee so far at £640k)

a 'high level' striker - it's a bit ambiguous, a high level striker? not experienced or premier league.. maybe another international gem? I did get some really ropey info last season of a guy who is normally spot on
we'd been looking at him for months 'a foreign striker' and he had 17 goal to his name at the time.. AytonMews on fmttm (a very good egg) suggested it might have been 23yo Kevin Denkey after a bit of clever detective work.. currently plying his trade in the Jupiter Pro League 39 appearances 30 goals and 2 assists. Rangers came in with a £5m plus add on deal that didn't go anywhere plus some Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund scouts went to check him out.
Bit more than £5m then I guess.. but still. COULD BE


then we have 'a versatile forward who can play in the number 10 role' - we were linked with Amad Diallo and Manuel Benson at the back end of the January window so Amario Cozier-Duberry has turned down the chance to extend his contract with Arsenal.. it seems like were looking for that Sam Greenwood type of player.

If the Steuckers rumour has legs, then I would assume Jones or Forss will be going.


It is certainly building up to be an interesting window.

He could well be the versatile forward who can play as a 10.

Maybe Forrs plays more as a striker next season?
