Fist off welcome to promotion, we are in the future and we have been successful, as with any other dream come true there are conditions and stipulations that come with the aforementioned. We are skint.. yours truly has been tasked with the entire internet fan page scouting task and whilst I am forever grateful for the hard work that our players have delivered but contracted or on loan I will be bringing names to the table.. just like what is off that Moneyball film where Brad Pitt keeps spitting and the fat kid tells everyone who to buy. It is that.. exactly that. (bumface spits)
1. The Goalkeeper
Luke Daniels has been quite rightly courting attention from Championship clubs, a solid professional who I think will move on in the summer. Who to replace tho?
Loris Karius 29yo coming out of contract at Newcastle, suffered from a big error at Liverpool. I would gladly have him in the squad. Fairly local, quality keeper. Get him through the door.
2. The Right Back
Darnell Fisher our cult hero may well struggle to get back into the game at all. Who to go to? Jordan Williams at Barnsley? Cody Drameh at Leeds? Ben Johnson at West Ham? We need to pull out the stops in certain areas and with
Ola Aina now 26yo is coming out of contract at Torino I think he may well be the one to do it for. Proven genuine quality who will shine under Michael Carrick.
3. The Left Back
Marc Bola, the hero of many a game under Neil Warnock, falls between the cracks somewhat in more central positions. He deserves regular game time. Left Back is a tricky one for me, but I'm going into the under sourced market of the MLS
Kai Wagner at 26yo should have been playing in Europe by now.. currently at Philadelpia Union and out of contract in December. Ticks boxes and in the end is an easy pick.
4. The Ball Playing Central Defender
Anfernee Dijksteel has fallen out of favour, still a top defender and has served us well. Easier said than done to replace.
Louis Patris the 21yo Belgian right back currently at OH Leuven reminds me very much of John Stones. 5'11 may cause a gasp or two from the uninitiated. The ball playing defender has to be in consideration for me. Underrated, unheard of.. well not for long. Lets get on it.
5. The Central Defender
Grant Hall never really let the side down, a solid championship defender that has found a better fit elsewhere. All power to him and I genuinely wish him the best of luck.
Nat Philips now 26yo has been wasted at Liverpool for me I've been impressed most times I've seen him but he will still struggle to get regular time in this Liverpool side. Step forward.. us! pretty sure he has some family link with the club, and it would make sense for him to settle into a newly promoted side to make his mark. Might be a bit pricey as he's highly rated. Known to Woodgate and in the Woodgate mold. £8m anyone?
6. The Defensive Midfielder
Alex Mowatt has been a good egg for us when he's had the chance. In this position Max Bird has impressed me tremendously at Derby still in league one and with one of the most important positions on the pitch at Premier League level I'm taking no chances
Ardon Jashari the 20yo Swiss midfielder with World Cup experience available from FC Luzern for around £5.5m no messing, put the money on the table.
7. The Right Winger
Jeremy Sivi appeared and disappeared, maybe time to move on. I'm not gonna pretend other wise with this next guy. BeverleyRed rates him so what more do you need to hear. He is absolutly nailed on to join us on loan, Uruguayan right winger, Spanish and ex Man Utd.. he is pure Boro Bingo
Facundo Pellistri 21 year old has been a boro player from the day he was born.. he just didn't know it. *DESTINY SIGNING*
8. The Central Midfielder
Project Martin Payero seems to have come to an end, the will and the spirit was there to make the dream come alive.. but the intensity and sheer quantity of games laid waste to the possibility of the new Julio Arca cutting some rug on the reg. With this in mind I swapped out my first choice as seen below for a more defensive minded player with more experience. A dogged runner good in the tackle and good in the air. Someone, anyone who can perhaps hold a light to the indomitable Jonny Howson.. at 27yo
Ellyes Skhiri currently plying his trade with FC Koln, out of contract in the summer and perhaps not what Michael Carrick would be initially looking at (like the rest of my picks tbh) Born in France, Tunisian national.. very impressive the last two seasons and I think could do a job in the prem. Max Bird on standby anyone?
9. The Main Striker
The diamond that was Rodrigo Muniz, cast aside by a single minded Neil Warnock.. only for him to be scooped up by Fulham from under our very noses. All things considered I'm dropping a last minute £9m on the table for one of my past favourite.. the familiar sounding
Lassina Traoré from Shakhtar Donetsk the 22yo he has been out for a year after tearing his ACL in the champions league against Inter Milan. We've got the rest of the crew signed sealed and delivered.. this one is being paid for by the fringe players that didn't quite make it.
10. The Attacking Midfielder
The Rise of Stephen Walker doesn't look like it will be happening here. For my number 10 pick.. I've actually cut him from the midfield with a view to retaining Chuba Akpom.. I have selected the Ecuadorian Midfielder
Jose Cifuentes currently plying his trade in MLS for LAFC at 24yo I would say he is in that Paul Pogba in-between role of number 8 and number 10, I think he would compliment our existing players and bring enough to that table to make an impact. Out of contract in December for an extra brucie's bonus.
11. The Left Winger
Hayden Coulson has been offered a new contract and has been doing very well in the SPL by all accounts. Former left back, wing back winger.. we're gonna need an upgrade. Beyond Anthony Elanga and not counting our existing Aaron Ramsey.. I'm looking at quality premier league players out of contract dropping out of the prem with their teams. Mohamed Elyounoussi at 28yo currently with Southampton cuts the mustard for me. Would I prefer someone from Bournemouth? Perhaps a Norwegian or a former player? Yes.. but were on a budget and we've already bought everyone who is already here. JOB DONE
