TeaCider24 12,614 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Glad to see things picking up now, not long at all until pre-season starts. We've got a lot of business that needs doing. Link to post Share on other sites

We obviously need the Spence deal done first though. @Raf smogdo you know if the sale is close or if the gazette is right with there still not being talks? Appreciate if you can’t say anything. Thanks for the snippets. Definitely closer! but is there a reason gazette and club have said not? Link to post Share on other sites

That would be ridiculous. 36 years old and 22 minutes of first team football in the last two years. Can’t get any less ambitious than that. He is a better goalkeeper than Dimi was, and we did okay with him. I imagine Roberts would be the first choice goalkeeper in any case. Heaton would be an experienced backup in case the step up is too much for Roberts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think you leave Manchester United 3rd choice to become Middlesbrough second choice. Don’t see that myself Link to post Share on other sites

Im just not sold on an aging keeper that hasn’t played for two years. Doesn’t fill me with confidence at all and is just a stop gap solution. Also has another year to run on his deal and he’s probably on decent wages at United. Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know why Heaton would leave the Man U bench to come and sit on the Boro bench. I don’t think there’s anything in it though.. Link to post Share on other sites

Heaton has two more seasons in him at most. Link to post Share on other sites
JTG 2,267 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 @Raf smog would you know at this stage whether it would be a straight loan or if we’d negotiate any potential purchase option? Only asking as we’ve seen first hand how a decent season can massively increase a player’s value so it makes sense if the parent club is willing. Link to post Share on other sites

DevKWat 2,370 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I understand we all want to know more but RAF just said he hasn’t been posting because he gave too much away, if he wants to say more he probably will do 6 Link to post Share on other sites
