A great goalkeeper should not listed as just a top talent. Strong down the flanks but he completely missed on the goalkeeper. The HoYD was spot on for 90% of his preview. The HoYD says we should have a great goalkeeper coming in along with some good wide players but not much through the spine of the team. We have one of the best academies in the England so we should bring in some of the top talents in the country and for sure some of the top talents at the Championship level. Youth Intake Day should be a big day for the club. A good player to take over one of the rotational spots occupied by Sol Bamba who needs to transition to a coaching role instead of taking up a rotational center back slot. He will join us in June on a two-year contract with a one-year extension should we get promoted. I was impressed with what I saw and quickly moved to sign him before other Championship and lower table Premier League sides found out he was at our training facility. I wanted to see, firsthand, if the scout had truly discovered a talent that could join our team.
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE GAMES TRIAL
I asked Sparta Prague if Vitik could come to Middlesbrough for a month-long trial and they obliged. I give you Martin Vitik, a center back from Sparta Prague. The scout did not find any suitable Irish talent but he did find a player from the Czech Republic who can move into a rotational role starting next season. The hope was to find a younger Irish player who could play in a backup role for a year or two or even with the U23s before a senior side call up.
Valery allows us to bring in a rotational player who does not have a significant drop off in pace.īack in November, I sent one of my scouts to attend Ireland's U21 match against the Czech Republic. Our backups, Jonny Howson (a more natural defensive midfielder) and Lee Pelliter (primary backup at both left and right back positions) are both on the older side and not very quick. He will provide us with some right back depth and some pace in the position. Yan Valery joins us on loan from Southampton. The first is a short-term move while the second is a move that I think helps us in the longer term. I've made a couple moves in the transfer market. Youth Intake looks very top heavy with a quality goalkeeper and some good fullbacks coming in but not a whole lot else. I waited until I reached the new year before I posted anything about this save because I wanted to make sure I was into the save and it was not another "two days and done" save. In the playoff mix which is right where the board wants us to be. We want to build the youth academy to be the best in the Championship and use that academy as a springboard for a return to the Premier League. We want to build from within and we want to do it slowly.
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE GAMES TV
The club needs to raise money by either selling it's top players to more financially stable clubs or get promoted into the Premier League and cash in on the buckets of TV money that the Premier League provides. The club is projected to just bleed cash as long as they remain in the Championship. However on a dive into the numbers, you see a different story.
The finances, in a snapshot, look like they are decent shape. Win A European Trophy - Doesn't matter which one Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference - The club deserves European success Get the club back into the Premier League - It's where I think the club belongsĬreate a Solid Youth Solid Network - Supplement our youth intakes with top youth from around the UK & Ireland region and then expand into Continental Europe Get the club on a solid financial footing - I want the club in position to easily pay off the loan when/if the club returns to the Premiership They do have some financial problems with an 86 million pound loan awaiting repayment when/if they reach the Premier League.Īctively Promote Youth From the Academy - Keeps with the build from within philosophy of the club Back-to-back trip to the UEFA Cup including an appearance in the finals where they were spanked by Sevilla.
They have one of the top youth academies in England and churn out talent but they never seem to put together a team that is able to harness that talent into a Premiership side. Middlesbrough are a club who should have a better standing in the game than they currently have. This makes him the perfect manager to either lead Middlesbrough into the Premier League or keep them mired in the Championship. Robbie Hopper is a fictional creation who, like Middlesbrough, was a successful player but not quite at the highest levels of the game. I'm creating this thread for two reasons:ġ) I have been struggling in getting into a save during FM22 - not sure why but I seem to restart every two or three days.Ģ) Middlesbrough is a club that I think has a lot of potential but for, whatever reason, the club has not been able to tap into that potential and keep the club in the Premier League.
