Tomaszk Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Bruce is getting himself the sack. Getting rid of Adomah and Green is very odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah was decent against Brentford but pretty bad in the other games and for the final months last season. Green looked way off the standard. I'm not convinced by the hyperbole.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think last season we got a lot more out of Albert than we could have ever imagined. The final months of the season he was anonymous and has started this year in similar underwhelming fashion. Abraham in, Albert out- id take that every day of the week. My only concern is our depth now, considering how injury prone most our forwards are. Should have kept Green. I dont care that he goes to Boro either, if his form continues as i expect, they have a player past his expiry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We're short on wingers. Sign 2 wingers - awesome. Loan out 2 wingers - uh ??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever rated Adomah, but he had that mad run last year when everything he hit went in. Sending him to a promotion rival is asking for trouble though. What if suddenly has another run of form like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this must be the thinking? Adomah wages paying for Abraham another element potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Alot on here recently have said how rubbish he's been and dont want him in the team, surprised at how many now worried because Boro want him back. Bolasie & El Ghazi are of a much higher quality. May not contribute as high a number of goals as Albert last year, but dont think Albert would repeat the trick this year either imho. Green can be recalled in January if needed. Jimmy has done a good job on the flank before. Depth is a little lacking but if someone said we'd have Bolasie/El Ghazi/Abraham in and we ship out Green/Adomah, near on 100% would have taken that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Snodgrass was horse poop for the last 8 games of last season (if not longer) there would be anarchy had Bruce had a chance to sign him on loan or buy him this season and not taken it. Adomah got injured and went off the boil, but I think with a bit of time he would have got some form back, even if he wasn't first choice. Bolasie could be a injury liability, he is also someone we are unlikely to sign permanently unless we have said screw FFP.

Probably because we dont want him. Not willing to discuss a new contract, and allowing him to leave today. I feel he's past his expiry date now, glad we got a good season out of him last year because it seems to be the biggest flash in his average pan.

Hutton looked like he was on his way out but still gave his all and was rewarded witha new contract. If adomah continued his form or at least half decent form he would have one. But he has been pathetic for the last six months. Hasnt deserved a new contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Quote @GraemeBailey: More on this soon, but believe that Albert Adomah is 'gutted' his move back to Middlesbrough has failed to be finalised. Understand deal was all agreed with Aston Villa that would have seen him released from his contract, so would have been joining Boro on permanent deal. This doesn't sound good at all. Something must have happened for us to be releasing him from his contract... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Tried to get him to sign a contract but even when they put the contract on the right hand side, he, to the confusion of everyone, kept trying to swing the pen wildly with his left hand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are trying to balance the books tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
