Would be a good signing I think , was Boro's best player when we beat them at home

 

has good workrate , eye for goal & gets stuck in

 

Tailor made really.(no pun intended)

tuncay was their best player.

 

oneil has average ability, but is very consistant and works for the team.

 

got 'megson signing' written all over him

 

3-4m i reckon

Agree with that !

Nothing special really, we need someone to create, he's not the man

He's the mutts nuts on Footy Manager :pardon:

Good Player O'niel I think. Good work ethic and is a decent footballer. Would be a good squad player, don't really know who he'd replace in our 1st team mind? Mccann?

O'Neil is a "box to box" player and runs his arse off during a game, other than that, I'm not sure what he contributes to be honest. Of the players that will be leaving Middlesbrough this year, I would have to agree with Homer and say that Tuncay is the best they have. I like what I see of that bloke.

 

I did enjoy, whilst watching Newcastle v Middlesbrough the other night, seeing that Middlesbrough also have their own "Riga" in the form of Emnis (or whatever he's called) - I'm suprised no numpty has suggested we sign him up

I've got too much time on my hands at the moment, flower! :roll:

 

After watching Toon v Boro last night I like the look of Emnes. He's got bags of pace and looks to have abit about him. Thats the first time I've seen him mind.

 

He could replace him with the fan's favorite token gangsta, Riga.

Steady prem player right age, would be good addition to the squad.

We should sign O'Neill and Wheater from Boro, ?8m the pair.

personally do not rate wheater would not touch him with a barge pole.

To be honest, I'd rather have Aliadiere than Emnes.

I dont think o'neil will bring anything to the squad.

You rate all of our midfielders ahead of him? Im sure hes better than a few we already have.

He is perfect to play on the right.

 

Its going to be him or James Morrison (wish it could be Steve Davies)

 

Then Sean Davis in the middle.

 

Were going to have a young, hungry, English squad.

 

Megson Out

Id have him at least in the squad, hes quick and good on the ball. Ive seen him creating a few goals as well so he is definatley worth looking at.

Been playing on the right side alot this season. Would you swap skd?

Tuncay only one of interest for me! Think we have our fill of workers in midfield

Not to pick you up Garrp but young I agree with, but do they have to be English/British??

 

Didn't we have our best seasons with predomonantly players from overseas?

 

I think a club like ours needs to cast its net far and wide, and whilst I don't want to turn this into another Megson debate I can't help getting the feeling that these players are perceived as easier to manage and will 'put in a shift' by GM. It may say more about his confidence in managing/handling players than anything else?

Fair point and Im not againt foreigners or anything like that (i don't care where they are from as long as they are good enough).

 

but, i think Allardyce said we were never in a position to sign English/British players because of their price.

Why did you say

 

" We're going to have a young,hungry English squad

 

Megson out"

 

If you don't care what nationality our players are?

Agreed, he's a bit similar to what we have for me

 

Assuming we won't have a lot to spend it'd be better used elsewhere

I like Gary O'Neil he seems a good player to me, I have him in my fantasy football team so I have took a bit of interest in his performances this season.

Having said that I don't think there are any midfielders out there in our price range that are as good (or potentially as good) as our own Mark Davies. What little we have seen of him I have got a feeling he could be something special if he stays injury free. He has got a lot of energy, is skillful on the ball and got that bit of cockiness that you need to succeed in the premiership. He keeps the ball that bit longer and looks for the right pass. He doesn't show the usual nerves that you would expect for a lad of his age which is often the difference between a decent player and a top player like Rooney for instance. I predict England squad World Cup 2014.

Remember where you heard it first

 

p.s. Jimmy Riddle I also don't want to make this into another Megson debate ;)

When sam signed yet another African people on here were whinging we never signed Engish players and that they wanted an English core to the side.

 

At a guess that is why
