Michael Carrick acknowledges that they’ve been receiving good comments lately and expects that Middlesbrough will become a more appealing environment for players to visit and play football.
Despite the fact that teams in the North East, such as Boro, have historically had trouble attracting players because of relocation worries, a number of variables currently make the Teesside club a more alluring place to play football.
Recent additions to the team frequently mention Carrick and the playstyle he has built at the Riverside since moving there fifteen months ago, as well as his obvious project and ambition to return to the Premier League. Since Carrick’s hiring, the club has undoubtedly felt like it has a clear direction, with excellent facilities at both the Riverside and Rockliffe.
Furthermore, they have demonstrated their ability to develop players by selling a number of players in recent windows to either the Premier League or, in the case of Chuba Akpom, a premier European club. Carrick did, however, issue a warning to any player considering Boro as a stepping stone given the club’s adamant attitude about the possible transfer of Morgan Rogers to Aston Villa.
Carrick responded, “I hope so,” when asked if Boro had much to offer youth transfer targets before to acquiring Luke Thomas as their third arrival of January. For the most part, the boys in this group are growing and progressing appropriately. Although we obviously want to move up the league and achieve greater achievements, we think this place has a lot going for it.
“But by no means are we merely creating something to serve as an expanded academy for Premier League teams. As a squad and team, we aspire to improve and accomplish goals.
“We receive good feedback regarding our ability to draw in players, which is encouraging to know. Knowing about the coaches, the team, the atmosphere, and the club’s size, strength, and potential is all beneficial information. Although we’re content with how things are going, we want more.”
Luke Thomas, a loan signing from Leicester City until the end of the season, became Boro’s third signing of the winter transfer window on Friday. Boro is worried that Alex Bangura’s injury may prevent him from playing for the remainder of the season, which is why the left-back arrived.
Boro is keeping an eye on the market in the hopes that another attacking addition becomes available as the window comes to a conclusion in less than a week. Carrick does, however, have faith in his present alternatives and has made it clear that he would only recruit more players if they are a good match.
