On the thread I also think Nugent's experience and know how will be worth a punt..... most teams get players to just to help get them out of the league ......and he's helped two teams get promoted from the Championship in the last 3 seasons. Not a bad record to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard?

I agree a loan would be more cost effective but that's dependent on Boro agreeing to it. Also if a permanent deal can be done at £2m then this is cheaper than being held to ransom by Fulham. I think that's at the root of this deal . Proving to Fulham they can't hold a gun to our heads. I might be wrong but seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlySaul Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Probably be a good influence in the dressing room with his experience getting out this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 You only need to read Boro fans opinions to see how highly he is thought of. The more I think, the more I warm to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nugent is far more versatile than any of our current strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Vydra wont go, Mc likes to have 2 striker options off the bench for games like Wigan when we need a goal, even more so with Bent rarely completing 90mins...its normally bent coming off for Vydra or vice versa A lot of games in Mc previous tenure we ended up playing 424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know he doesn't want to change the system? How do you know the player cannot adapt to the system (or, for that matter that he isnt right for how we play now), how do you know he isn't being brought in to facilitate the fabled 'plan B'? and how do you know all these things before he has either signed for the club or kicked a ball!? I realise we all have opinions about players, managers, systems and all other things about the game, but there is something so relentlessly 'definite', condescending and uncompromising about posts like this! They irriate the bejesus out of me. To say that any signings have been pointless and ill thought out is nonsense. All signings are made to address something the manager wants to address. Just because this doesn't fit into your self proclaimed expert view does not make them wrong signings, lther than in hindsight. Also, looking at somebody like Blackman and saying 'i said all along he'd be rubbish' doesn't make anybody look clever, it makes them look smug. It also isn't clever if you say the same thing about every signing just to stock up on 'i told you so' moments a few months later. Not all signings work out. Thats football. Not all bad signings have been made by idiots, either here or at any other club. Aaggh. Bit harsh on Bris, he called Camera out as rubbish after his first touch. He was right about that....whoops forgot about yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I've always liked Nugent and it seems we've been after him for 10 years. Think the footballing gods will only allow us success if he joins up. So it was foretold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramant62 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Never liked him to be honest, but that was more to do with him scoring against us at every opportunity. However, there is no getting away from the fact that given the chance he will score goals at this level, and we need more goals to take some of the pressure of us in those close games. Take the baggies yesterday, how many of us nearly had heart attacks in the last 30 mins ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
