Apologies @Phoenix, only just seen that you replied with the same comment. Should have read the thread before commenting but I just couldn't contain my frustration at the sausage some of our fans come out with. No probs. Anyway, he smiles too much for my liking.

James1989 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 We should all be happy because finally we have signed a player who was our number 1 target...... 10 years ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 A friend of mine is a boro fan he's put a comment on a FB page for boro fans which then appeared on my timeline. There are 76 comments on the page about Nugent. I've just read through them and every single one is positive, saying what a good player he was for them, all saying they are sad to see him leave and wishing him well at Derby. I wasn't over fussed about this signing at first but having read that, I feel very optimistic about his arrival now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Dunno which is the biggest turn round for me... Suddenly liking nugent after years of hating him, or having to accept that one of Alan nixons rumours was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit daft when the money from winning that would dwarf anything we paid for Nugent. Doesn't even need to score for me, as long as he helps the team win be it through assists, creating space for Ince with his movement, being a nightmare for defenders will do. Harsh to judge a player on goals alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 2 hours ago, RIMBAUD said: Perhaps the options are ones that SM doesn't rate. Also the fact that loans aren't an option outside of the window will probably lead to clubs stalking up on options rather than leaving themselves short. You could be right, RIMBAUD. McClaren might not be keen on his existing options - Vydra, Blackman, Bent, Weimann, Russell - and it's true that just one injury to Bent or Vydra would leave us very much depleted. So in the short term, it makes a lot of sense, especially if we can't get Martin back until the summer. It just seems odd for it to be a permanent signing, as it's well established that the Championship is his level and that's not where we want to be in the long term and we could even still get promoted this season, so where would that leave him if that happened? If he's looking for first-team football, he'll seemingly be competing with Martin and Vydra in the long term for one slot in the 4-3-3, which is no easy task. Interesting move, in any case. I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I consider Bris and his acolytes to be far better judges of a player than an ex-professional and current pundit, what can he possibly know? (although I bet he hasn't watched that much of us to be honest...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
