Cam the Ram Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Come on, there's actually about 3 geniune positions there, the rest just have fancy names I'm shocked he's not been used in the deep lying right sided central play maker of the midfield roll, he'd be perfect there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It was in the Telegraph; the national newspaper Telegraph AND the DET. Gizza linkie and I'll believe you. DET certainly couldn't. Tonight, I am the doubting Thomas of dcfcfans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight, I am the doubting Thomas of dcfcfans.It definitely was in the Telegraph, but I can't find the article.Here's pretty much the article copied and pasted in the Northern Echo, mind: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/13051129.Middlesbrough_face_top_flight_competition_as_they_eye_a_move_for_Rhodes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for The Northern Echo, I maintain this is dubious in the extreme with the only comment being: "potential competition from Derby". And as for the trees, they do have the slight inconvenience of a transfer embargo so that shows how much store people sshould hold by the piece. But you found something, so 10 out of 10 for effort!

Anag Ram Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I sometimes get the impression that our transfer strategy is a bit like the January sales. You get to Next and see racks and racks of clothes for bargain prices. You pick up some t-shirts and pairs of trousers for a few quid and go home happy with your bargains. 6 months later you wonder why you've never worn any of them.Shotton, Warnock and Albentosa all seemed cheap but now we've looked at them, they appear soiled. I hope we are looking at players we like not just players we can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't go from being one of the best defenders in La Liga to sub-par Championship level overnightDarren Bent came into a team on free fall....so did Tom Ince...they didnt do too bad.When was he "one of the best defenders in la liga!!???" he got in the team of the week and everyone was creaming hteir pants, Shotton has been in the Premiershite team of the week more than once, is he "one of the best defenders in the Permiershite"?He got a fair crack.......we should send him back....because he was cack....at the back.

But, yeah. Albentosa built up a good reputation in Spain and Eibar's freefall since he left puts ours to shame. I'm surprised anyone is ready to throw the towel in over him just yet. I've been far from impressed but it can't have been an easy move for him by any stretch of the imagination. He's not even played 10 games yet, so it's worth staying patient.

Never going to happen.What's more, he wasn't awful by any stretch. He played well for the most part, merely his distribution was sometimes off.He's not been given a fair chance in this team, therefore it's ridiculous to write him off after such a short space of time under difficult circumstances.
