MakemineVanilla Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The fact that the lad was at Man City suggests he was a bit of a prodigy but didn't quite fulfil expectations. It looks like Unai can see the ability and thinks he can coach him to his full potential. Here's hoping! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 This will take time I think. He can make a bit of impact now for sure. We've got some players in stinking form and this lad is a big scary monster. Plenty of time before we see him as a fixture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I do like that’s he’s a bigger lad. Our team in general is small. Even our centre backs (maybe not Carlos and Mings) are on the smaller side. If we could get Duran back fit have some decent back up in the front line for Europe etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I’ll say it, I haven’t seen that much in him myself, I’ll obviously be happy to be proven wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a punt, no doubt. He's only started half of Boro's league games. Most of his better games have come in the cups for them. He's not been a star at all. It's an attempt to mould a big massive lad into the player Emery wants. Edited February 1 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he's apparently been quoted as saying it's the team he grew up supporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, Jas10 said: That's great to see. Thinking about it, it's been along time since we heard any player criticising the atmosphere around the club. Even Sansom only had a bad word for Gerrard, nothing about the club in general. I think Deano played a big part in creating an harmonious vibe around the whole club, hence Emery saying a big "thanks" to him when he seen him whilst Deano was part of a commentary team at one of our games. It certainly lays the foundations to creating a successful club on and off the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Tall lad isn't he. Is he registered in time for the bench on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure you have to register by midday on the day before the game and since got bags of time I’d expect him to be registered in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more to do with the fact that their bench is full of full international players worth upwards of £50m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
