New head of recruitment

They can have Robinson, Elliot and Delfonso for a £1million, buy two get one free. Angol and Cook at least £1million each
Vernam, they could not afford.

 

Mr Gent , is meant to be at a game tonight. Only Bournemouth v Forrest and Chelmsford v Concord in the conference south have games, unless he is going to Spain to watch Liverpool.

 

I wonder if one of the players Gent and MH/RS were talking about at the time was Zach Hemming? Goalkeeper who has just won the Scottish Championship with Kilmarnock, won their young player of the season and was the GK in the Scottish championship team of the season. Kept 15 clean sheets in 36 league games for Kilmarnock.

They said in the Boro paper that Gent was there to watch Hemming lift the trophy the same weekend Hughes said the new guy is in place, they just had to wait a while to announce. Given we know they were initially in contact regarding loans for next season, seems like Gent is either really diligent and completed his work with the young lads even when he was already signed and heading out the door, or maybe they were starting the conversations about the keepers next loan move?

 

He is our next keeper ,Hughes just wants to look at him first in pre season

 

You have insider knowledge Eldwick Steve.

 

Yes work one day a week in guisborough , mates son is in boro youth team , only sticking point was boro wanting a div 1 club , but Steve gent has twisted there arm to let him go ,

 

If Hughes wants to look at him in pre-season, that suggests he's not sure, no?

Decent résumé, mind.

 

I hope it’s a full season loan with no recall.

 

I don’t buy this playing in a “higher division “ with keepers .

A good keeper is good , no matter what Divi he’s playing in.

Outfielders, yes 100% agree, but not keepers.

 

Was this Boro kid the trialist in the Brentford B game?

 

No some lad from Workington Town, who has been training with us apparently.

 

Think he’s with Warrington Andy.

 

Yes, confirmed in T&A. Atherton from Warrington.

 

I knew it was somewhere from other the dark side.

 

How do we know this?

If so, very cool that he's so active going to games and whatnot.

As Derek Adams pointed out, all the stats in the world mean nothing if you can't afford top performing players. That's no longer a good way for small clubs to locate talent, as everyone seems to be using the same data.

The eye test - that's the way.

 

Not sure we can use Adams as a gauge for sound recruiting methodologies!

 

I noticed his long passes found a city player instead of out of play
Like a dribble too

 

Yes the dribbles were good tbh!

 

It’s the new trend of play for a keeper I think
