@GazetteBoro We still had fans begging for us to sign Armstrong for 15mil 😂

@EdwardStratmann @_TY_97 This made me look up RVDB and he is having a shocker at Koln. Only started 7 matches in which they have won 1 😂

Malanda’s line-breaking passing is so key to Hellberg's Middlesbrough and their ability to build so effectively from the back. Vision, awareness, execution and reading of his teammates’ movement are all on point.

Kim Hellberg has taken Middlesbrough to the top of the Championship, playing beautifully chaotic football.
Loved breaking down his wild and wonderful tactics. 🔴

@Boro_Breakdown How long was the contract Hellberg signed? And is it too early for another?
English
@blainalllinson Conway, Strelec, Sene, Whitaker, Castledine (Hellberg said he could play there) I think that’s enough!
English
@BBCTeesSport @pauladdo Stop crying!!! Strelec and Sene have barely played and we’ve already written them off 😂 I remember our fans doing the same with Lath after 5 matches. Also what about Whitaker, he has played up top before!!

@mar_boro14 Were we willing to pay millions for Armstrong 🤷♂️ I agree though, archer seems like the perfect fit but possibly wages are too high!
English
I find it quite strange Boro haven’t shown any interest in Archer whatsoever.
He hasn’t played much, but he’d be a great option if Conway got injured.
We were willing to pay millions for Armstrong, yet wouldn’t push for Bamford who was a free, or go after Archer.
Shame.

Cameron Archer to #Rangers looking highly unlikely now. #SaintsFC tried for a second forward along with Larin to free him up but that appears to have stalled #DeadlineDay @talkSPORT

@MatthewSoakell @UTB191009 @Rob_Eagleton I will repeat…. Both are currently out of the relegation zone 😂
English
@stenhouse85 @UTB191009 @Rob_Eagleton Except they’re not - Leeds are only 6 points clear and are in 16th and they finished on 100 points and arguably should’ve gone up the year before too 😂
Sunderland is a rarity and won’t (and doesn’t) happen too often at all, hence promoted teams have going straight back down.
English
@MatthewSoakell @UTB191009 @Rob_Eagleton That’s why Leeds and Sunderland are both currently safe in the prem 😂
English
@UTB191009 @Rob_Eagleton We’ve been shockingly bad for the entirety of this season, until Clement came in. Not denying that one bit.
Standard of the league is on its arse and has been for years now.

@Wolfofthemasses @DomSmith96 @thepinkponce Hellberg said he is happy with what he has and we doing well, I certainly don’t think we need to spend 10mil
English
English
@Wolfofthemasses @DomSmith96 @thepinkponce We’ve just scored 9 in 3 with one fit striker! Strelec and sene are now back.
English
@DomSmith96 @stenhouse85 @thepinkponce Relying on a 0 in 20 striker ( yeah he’s scored a couple recently fair play ) and hoping strelic comes good in the business end of the season is a massive massive risk. We struggle against teams who sit in as it is.
English
@DomSmith96 @thepinkponce He was shocking!! Plus this is a very hyperthetical thing to say.
English
@stenhouse85 @thepinkponce The goals from Rhodes got us up that season!
English
@Loulameg We moved on from these type of rash buys, the lad is good but he’s not worth 10mil…. He’s 29 and has never bagged the amount lath or akpom did in a season!
English
I’m concerned by the amount of people saying no to Armstrong, do they know something about him that the rest of us don’t or is it just not understanding that he’s exactly what we need right now given our position 🤔
English
@Ciagun @Chris_BoroUTB @mar_boro14 I totally agree, i would just rather us spend 8mil on Archer and then at least we will get value for money in terms of another 3/4 yrs
English
@stenhouse85 @Chris_BoroUTB @mar_boro14 No you included Rhodes and nugent on a list of players we should of learnt a lesson from signing, I’m saying they scored vital goals in our promotion season, that’s the only point I’m making.
English
Bit surprised at some of the negativity around us signing Adam Armstrong. Since 2018 he’s had 5.5 seasons in the Championship, he’s hit double figures in 4 of those. Exactly what we need.
Fee will be irrelevant if we go up, just as Rhodes fee was - it got us over the line.
English
@Ciagun @Chris_BoroUTB @mar_boro14 Lath and Akpom cost less than 5mil each and they scored over 30. My point being I don’t see the value in 10 mil for a striker with one more season.
English
@stenhouse85 @Chris_BoroUTB @mar_boro14 Both Rhodes and nugent got us vital goals in that promotion season? Makes no sense including either of them?!
English
@RobSc0tt If Delano is off I think we need one more attacker in….. with pace!!
English
Malanda available, Munroe, Castledine and Sarmiento is a good window as it is. If a proven goal-getter is available, of course you add one. But we're up there with the top sides for goals scored. I'd sooner challenge Sene and Strelec to step up than add another unknown quantity.
English
@sarahfinn8 People had written him off too. He only started scoring when he had a run of 4/5 games in a row! Eg match fit
English
Great points by Craig here. Also important to mention we still have Strelec and Sene knocking around and one (or both) of those may just prove to be important in the run in..
Great stat about Latte Lath too.
Craig Johns@craig_johns
One week left in the transfer window. Sarmiento close, while #Boro still want a striker Stance clear on not signing one for the sake of it though. More here on their attempts to add a striker this month, their current stance, and why I think it's right gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football…
