M_Afro Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 31 minutes ago, Leeroy said: But he's not a signing a top 4 team makes, especially when they've already decided that they can't accommodate game time for their better Academy players and decided to sell them on. He'll basically come here and get even less game time than JPB was going to get so it seems a totally pointless signing as far as I can see. Unless it's for cheap and we loan him back to Boro and our plan is to sell him on for profit without ever playing a game for us like we did with Azaz. Surely Unai has earned our trust? For what it’s worth I think this kid is much better than A Ramsey, Archer or Bidace. Time will tell of course but this kid is a proper heads up football player. He could become top drawer.

Villa_Vids Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 minute ago, useless said: The bid has been rejected, he's one of a few young players we're looking at, so If we don't sign him, we will probably sign another player of a similar status. Going by the links seems we want a young project type player, as the new winger signing, and Emery hinted as much in press conference for the Everton game. Yh. He is similar to Reyna.

Even Boro fans themselves, who have watched this lad and Archer and Ramsey, would rather have Ramsey and Archer back over this lad. Some say they don't even think he gets in their strongest 11 and they're a midtable Championship side miles below our level. Go on their forum it's all out there. So unless Boro fans don't watch their own players properly, I'd say you're quite wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using your Villa tinted specs to make a point and it doesn't work. He can't finish that's for sure, but he's not sh*t. Got an assist on his debut, looked lively. 60 odd caps for Germany. If he was here right now he'd start ahead of Ramsey and Zaniolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I like the look of him and this type of transfer, but dont remember him making much of an impact in the game against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless Boro fans don't watch their own players properly, I'd say you're quite wrong. I’ve been on their forum. A lot of their posters are gutted. I do believe that he’s better than the three I listed. Time will tell I guess but he looks to have a much higher ceiling and will suit an Unai team. Unai is boss. He gets my full support. It Unai wants him. I want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Definitely need to be focusing on signing the odd home grown player here or there as we have 7 at the moment and it would be 6 if Chambers leaves (Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Ramsey and Watkins) which would restrict the amount of players we could have in squads for Europe and the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
