Could he do it on a cold night in Bolton though with 30m footballers around him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 From a Boro fan… ‘I know it's early days for Archer but he looks a superb talent - he's like a young Jermain Defoe with his blistering pace, ability to find half a yard to get a shot off, sharp turning circle and deceptive strength for a short guy’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted January 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2023 Was just thinking what terrible mismanagement of Archers career this year from Villa. Held him back from loan first half of the season and then stuck him behind Watkins and Ings in the pecking order so he got no minutes, and now sent off on loan even though we only have one senior forward and we recruited a youth prospect ahead of him to boot. Feel sorry for the guy… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Duran isn't a youth prospect, he hasn't been brought in as an academy signing, he's going to be part of the first team squad and is almost certainly considered better than Archer, otherwise I doubt we would have signed him in the first place. So it was definitely the right decision to send Archer out on loan this second half of the season, he was third choice behind Watkins and Ings first half of the season, would have been unfair to keep him as third choice behind Watkins and Duran second half. Besides I think there's a good chance we will sign another striker today, even if it's just a stop-gap loan striker until the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Strange we haven't included a recall so we can recall him and not register him to play football until next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It just seems such a waste not having him here when we have sold Ings. Wonder if Emery sees him as part of his long-term plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 He looks as though he’s lost a bit of weight. Not that he was ever anything but an athlete but he just seems skinnier in that shot for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 No goal or assist but played the whole 90 minutes which is always good to see. Be nice if both him and Ramsey can help Boro to promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
