You've joined the forum to post this thread, welcome. But you clearly know the forum as you used BUPA.
So, to your main claim... "Coopers #1 target." That's quite an assertion. It needs substance to make it stand.
Welcome, nothing seems very solid at the moment, maybe you broke the big one.Long time lurking. Very long time. Life long fan. Appreciate gaining credibility on fan forums takes time. Fair dues.
Just what I’ve heard. No trolling. Take that either way.
What, to play up top instead of Awoniyi, or alongside him, or instead of the current back ups we have.I hope we are after someone better than this
He may have improved since then with the Milan teams now sniffing around.Just thought he was crap for boro, over priced and over hyped
This would be hugely underwhelming.
I'll take your word for it.He’d be an excellent signing and that’s not because he chose the US as his national team. had an HELLEVA year in Ligue 1.

A fair few have come from Ligue 1 looking very good statistically and either struggled or failed to live up to the hype.
Either way I am certain the price will be high and risk will be higher. Not sure I’d put this in the excellent signing category due to that risk it translates to the prem.
Absolutely, and Europe / South America is the place I would be fishing this summer. However, on the evidence I have seen the French league may not be the best target. Now that doesn’t mean to say good players aren’t in the league I just think the hit rate for transitioning to English leagues seems lowerSuppose you’re right, but that’s the risk in trying to find quality from other leagues.

For reference Chuba Akpom, awful for us in 2015, top goalscorer in the same league now. Obviously along time has passed between Akpom playing for us and now, but Balogun was still only 20 when he played for Boro and his first proper stint at a club.I think despite his scoring record this year it is hard to ignore the quality of the league and his displays in England.
