I'm as disappointed as the next man that our interest has cooled in 'the Iraqi Ian Harte' Ali Adnan but we must move on and look forward to a blockbusting 2nd half to the season even now.
HOLES, DUG BY LITTLE MOLES in our squad are there for everyone to see. the cover at left back and the left sided central defender. Mick McCarthy was being a total doyle over Ciaron Brown and I fully expect us to go back in January to have the lad released and brought back home to papa Neil. At 23yo he will take up one of our last two spots in the squad left sided centre back can cover at left back job done.
Bit of chin stroking to be done over the next spot. With Sammy Ameobi seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth could that mean we look to bring in another striker perhaps?
The first rumour to come out of the woodwork is in the form of 20yo Brazilian right back Heitor Rodrigues currently plying his trade at Internacional he takes the final available spot due to him not being a home grown player I assume? Looks very much like a replacement for Djed Spence which suggests a bit of movement in the transfer pot perhaps?
Looking at the available shirt numbers in the squad 3, 5, 26 & 30 (pretty sad right) Heitor Rodrigues is a right back and for me doesn't really suit the number 3 normally attributed to a left back. He can also play right midfield/right wing back and his birthday is 5th November (ah bless) so for that reason I'm going to pre emptively assign him the number 5 shirt.
5 Heitor Rodrigues 20yo Internacional - €5 million deal
Ciaron Brown soon to be out of contract, able to sign a pre contract, we want him.. let's make it happen currently sporting the number 30 no reason to change that right now
30 Ciaron Brown 23yo Cardiff City - less than what McCarthy wanted
Bit of reverse shenanigans to go numbers 3 and 26 number 3
a left back, homegrown under 21 is is out of contract, at a club that is struggling or not offering what we can Championship stability with Premier League prospects. Lee Buchanan 20yo Left Back at Derby County is out of contract in the summer seems to be doing the business at Derby, no reason why he can't get on board the boro promotion machine. Sub £2m he's currently donning the number 26 shirt at Derby so there seems no reason to change that.. unless it was to shoehorn another excuse and reason to bring in another player. number 3 it is!
3 Lee Buchanan 20yo Derby County - less than £2m
Number 26? a striker to replace our fallen cult hero Sammy Ameobi a number 26, homegrown player under 21 available on a free transfer on even on a loan?
Well.. Folarin Balogun is currently Arsenal's number 26 not exactly setting the premier league on fire (Arsenal that is) and I imagine they will be looking to bolster their options in the January window possibly pushing Balogun further down the pecking order. playing hybrid role of half striker & half left winger sounds good to me.
26 Folarin Balogun 20yo (loan) Arsenal
Pretty impressive if I do say so myself (you're welcome) we can even throw in a few more for the local newspapers, troll boards & podcasts...
RW Jed Wallace 27yo Milwall - out of contract in the summer, often linked, former Newyddion Moneyball Pick
MF Joe Ralls 28yo Cardiff - another out of contract in the summer, another former Newyddion Moneyball pick AND a former Warnock player.
LW Cyle Larin 26yo Besiktas - you guessed it, out of contract in the summer.. previously linked
The lucky seven including three duff ones, add into the mix a fabricated argument with Kieran Scott, Ciaron Brown being 'Warnock's player and a failed attempt to get Sammy Ameobi de-registered to bring Cyle Larin in the final minutes of the window and that should just about do it!
