A friend just told me that he's read we are showing interest in striker Uche Ikpeazu?
I'm not to familiar with him so wondered if we are would he be a good replacement for Moore if it was true?
Anyone know if he's decent?
That's easy for you to say!
Leo Fortune West
Who's his agent Stan? Is there a Warnock ('borough) link (I stress I don't know and haven't looked)?
Yes but without the skill of Leo and not as many goals. Big centre forward type who is ok at league two level maybe league one at best but not good enough for the championship. One of Warnocks poor signings for Middlesbrough. Might just be ok if we were in league one next season. If that’s what we are looking at we are in trouble.
I bloody knew it. Warnock!. Boy are we in trouble if this is the case. Is his son his agent?
He battered Flint and Brown in October, not sure if that’s something to measure him off this year mind.
This would be like a Russell Slade era type signing like Alex Revell. Ikpeazu's scoring record isn't great and I don't think he improves on what we have already, would prefer the money got to a defender instead.
His wiki page says
"Ikpeazu is an athletic 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) forward who possesses pace and power but sometimes struggles with ball control."
😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to the club. Should slot in nicely.
Sounds perfect doesn't he.
Reading the Middlesbrough forum he is a Warnock type player signed by Warnock and not wanted by Chris Wilder. Lacks pace and is not prolific. He doesn't seem to be the sort of player to bring in if we are trying to shake off the Jurassic Park football of the past.
We'll definitely sign him then!
Not sure mate.
Sorry what do you mean by that?
Stop fibbing, Stan.
A Warnock signing? ffs i bet his wages are on par with Harry Kane's
Fibbing? Care to explain or maybe just add something to the thread without trying to start a bickering contest..

WOL claiming the club contacted Boro this morning to register an interest. When I first saw the headline I thought it was just one of those circular rumours - WOL mentioned Ikpeazu being made available for transfer by Wilder a few days ago in a 'round up' piece - mainly because we had shown an interest last summer. Those type of incidental comments usually get picked up by marginal 'news' sites and turned into something they aren't. But maybe this is genuine.
But Ikpeazu is not a Moore replacement. If anything he would be another Collins (but a bit taller) - a journeyman, trier, experienced, not much pace and doesn't score a lot! Probably a 'great lad'.
WOL also saying Boro prefer to sell (valuation of £750k mentioned) but we only want a loan to the end of the season. West Brom (!), Millwall and Hull also supposed to be interested. I can see him going to Hull now they have their new owners, new manager, an end to their transfer restrictions, and a new budget burning a hole in their pockets. He wouldn't even need to move house!
Ah i get you now.. I thought we were friendsYou haven't got any friends
Ofcourse we are Stan, sorry, couldn't resistAh i get you now.. I thought we were friends
So much for the new direction and evolving the style of play. I think we were linked with him in the summer
