| BORO FAN HERE RE EMNES 23:44 - Jan 31 with 14048 views | MFC1876 |
Interesting reading your comments on todays loan signing. I follow Boro home and away (including the Vetchfield and Liberty Stadium in the past) and I don't know of a single Boro fan who won't be happy that Marvellous Marvin has gone (for now at least).
Marvin is known as "Project Emnes" by many Boro fans (he earned this tag after ex-Manager Southgate said he was a long-term project when asked why he had waited 36 games in the 2008/09 season before starting his first League game).
This season he has been awful. 1 goal in 23 appearances (incl as sub), he has a heart like a pea, is soft as S***e, looks disinterested and the last two home games when he has been subbed (rightly so) he has gone straight down the tunnel. Not good.
He seems more bothered about his hair (which hasn't been cut since he was last at Swansea) than contributing to the team.
Our previous Manager Tony Mowbray alluded to Emnes fragile mental state on more than one occasion. "Marvin needs to be loved" was one of the quotes. Earning thousands of pounds a week ... more like needs a kick up the backside!
In terms of positives all I would say is he knows Swansea having played there, can be good on the break when tuned in and is only on loan so can be returned to Boro (groan).
Anyway good luck for the rest of the season you have been a breath of fresh air to the Premier League, deserved your League Cup win and I hope you enjoy your European adventures. |  | | |  |

Thanks for taking so much trouble to attempt to dishearten us: but if he needs love he will do well here as we keep a welcome in the valleys for all players who wear our shirt. | | | |

I guess the same can be said about former Swansea striker Danny Graham who has just joined Boro.
But I think he has used more than 23 games to score 1 goal, and of course it was against Swansea. |  |

I genuinely hope he does well for The Swans. We don't want him back at Boro but if he feels "loved" and you can get the best out of him then good luck to you.
Danny Graham has 1 goal in 30 games but has some good qualities for the Championship and I think he'll do well. He is returning to Boro where started his professional career as an 18 year old and will be welcomed back with open arms. He left on good terms but had a "mission impossible" trying to get in the team with competition from the likes of Viduka and Hasselbaink. I think he will do well at Boro with two good wingers (Adomah and Carayol) supplying the ammunition. | | | |

Are you fukin serious? This guy is a genuine Boro fan and has give us an insight to what he's been like for them.. Cheers mate, appreciate it! (Not being sarcastic by the way)
So it looks like an awful signing! If he can't do it in the championship he's certainly not gonna do it in the prem.. Ffs |  |

Exactly this ^
I feel as underwhelmed as anyone but he's a back-up player who may or may not do well - either way, he cost next-to-nothing and is better that no-one given our recent injury crisis. |  | | |
| BORO FAN HERE RE EMNES on 02:55 - Feb 1 with 8502 views | swanskid95 |
My guess is that if he scores the winner again against scum next week, all the fans moaning about his loan move, will soon be his biggest fans!
I think its a good move, he suits are style of play very well, and lets be honest, i would rather have Emnes in the team than Sheckter or Vazquez!
Couldn't imagine what this forum would of been like if Sheckter got re-signed this window. |  | | |

This is why I am pi$$ed off with some of the negative idiots we have on this board! We have got two players for next to nothing that add to the squad, now if the board had sanctioned deals of a couple of million on each and two year contracts then I would be questioning Huws sanity! But Emnes and Ngog are both here till the end of the season. As I said before if you want signings like Rooney or Saurez fvck off and support Man Utd or Liverpool. [Post edited 1 Feb 2014 3:38]

Very true.
I don't think we really NEEDED to buy anyone, so getting a couple of backup players on loan is ok - we can give them back in a few months, if we want. |  |

Brilliant bit of business for Boro replacing Emnes with Graham, DG twice the player. |  | | |

Apart from the fact that they are incomparable as are totally different players, playing different roles, lets wait and see, eh !
Everything is relative. If he has a couple of appearances of bench and we get results, the minimal outlay and zero risk will be worth it.
if we go down, we will have got it wrong

Totally different players? They both play up front, Emnes can play out wide aswell granted.
Signing Emnes won't keep us up/send us down, but it's just a pointless bit of business, not needed here and obviously not needed at Boro. I could understand N'Gog to a degree, but not this one. But as you claim in your previous posts regarding our transfer dealings, Laudrup must of sanctioned it. | | | |

They are very different players in very different roles. One relies on pace and explosiveness, one relies on movement and finishing.
Graham plays the old fashioned British Striker role, whereas Emnes plays as a second striker or wideman.
Don't believe for one minute he was first choice, as the pursuit of Ince, Chadli and Schlupp shows he clearly wasn't, but if anyone thinks he was offered to Laudrup and he turned it down but Huw said, we are signing him anyway, they are crazy. | | | |

Yes and the reason they cost "next to nothing" is because the are both useless.
Fc uk me we have some brainless plums on here. |  |

Fair comment, I would just prefer DG over Emnes all day, but I suppose DG wouldn't have been happy with bench hence why he left. | | | |

All about opinions mate. Personally believe we needed to add pace (not that I wanted Emnes) and Graham would be battling with Michu and Bony, a battle he would lose hands down.
Grahams off field 'activities' would rule him out for me. There is a good reason why he struggled in his last year here, Sunderland and Hull. | | | |

Yep. What we really needed was to (a) not lose anyone and (b) get some of our players back from injury. Job done on both accounts. |  | | |

Cheers pal. Funny how players go on and off the boil. As others have said, graham was great for us and has completely flopped since. Not helped at all by off the field troubles. If you can get his head right and keep him out of the bars (unlikely, cos that's why he wanted to head back towards the NE), then he could be very good for you.
As for Emnes, who knows how he'll turn out. A couple of weeks ago when we ran out of wider players he'd have come in handy. So useful backup if nothing else. | | | |

And he's not intended to be anything else. If he doesn't grasp his one or two cameo chances spectacularly we won't be seeing him so why worry.
Time to forget all the cack now, although the usual suspects will be frothing at the gash with righteous misery for a few months yet no doubt. The teams are now finalised, 15 games, get 16 points and give both cups a good lash. Let's do it! |  |
