London_born_Boro_bred 29 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Don't know anything about him but I didn't about Friend either and he turned out ok I have full faith in Karanka. Can he play RB too? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 First Friend, now Husband. Are we treating our left back spot as some kind of relationship status update? :-) +1 Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 He's got a potential of 70 on FIFA 14. Not too bad ;) Link to post Share on other sites
JStevo21 8 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Is the 500K fee in fact more than what we paid Donny for Friend? He was about 250-300K if I remember correctly and look how that turned out! If the fee is anything to go by it would suggest that Husband has the potential to be even better than Friend. Link to post Share on other sites
Tudders80 674 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Very good signing. A friend of mine who supports Donny is going nuts. Expected him to go to the prem for around 1.25mill. I'm gathering the rb isn't quite at dotting the i's stage as I would have guessed AK would have preferred a double announcement if possible ?? Link to post Share on other sites

The club haven't announced it yet so they could be waiting to complete right back signing before announcing both Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Looks a very good signing, and a bargain too judging by the swearing on Twitter from Doncaster fans! (PS cheers for those +1s!) Link to post Share on other sites
LukeR 44 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 On the Doncaster forum they seem to think that there'll be one or more boro players going the other way with the deal... Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Halliday and Curtis Main hopefully Steve Crossman @Steve_Crossman 4m Understand that Husband to @boro deal may well include multiple players...assume in the other direction to the Keepmoat.

Air Resistance 26 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If we can get shot of halliday or main that would be great. They seem to think more like Williams and reach though :/ Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 2,492 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Possibly season long loans for the likes of Main, possibly Fewster or Burgess. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Can't see us letting Luke Williams or Adam Reach go. It'll be the deadwood Link to post Share on other sites
chipchat 61 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Gazette and Echo seem to be reporting a straight deal, no mention of players. Link to post Share on other sites
borobaz 147 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Brilliant news if true as at the moment we rely on George playing every game in the season. We saw what happened in the few games he missed last season where Gibson deputised and didn't look anywhere near as good, especially going forward, also weakening the CB spot in the process. With Husband also able to cover further forward or at RB if required, bringing in a 1st choice RB will leave us looking incredibly strong at the back, with plenty of strength in depth especially if Rhys fully recovers (hoping he gets his hip injury sorted whilst he's out too). I'd like to see another out and out Striker brought in as cover/competition to Kike, with Fewster/Main/L Williams used as back up to those. I feel that would be good enough to see us through the season, especially if AK sticks to playing 1 up front. I'd also like another CM brought in to replace Whitehead. As much as he runs around a lot, he's not very cultured and these days you need a DM that can contribute to both defensive and attacking play. Unfortunately, Whitehead isn't great on the ball and quite often slows down our attacks. I preferred watching us when we had Chalobah alongside Leadbitter last season, so someone of the same dynamic ilk as him would be most welcome. Of course, we have Ledesma that is an able replacement for any of the AMC/AML/AMR positions, but I feel if we were able to bring in Vossen, he could be classed as the backup to Kike (or partner Kike superbly if 2 played upfront), at the same time, he would be a definite starting Attacking Midfielder alongside Adomah and Tomlin when not required to play out and out Striker (Which I fully believe he can do). His arrival would give us a great deal of versatility and quality in the final third, matching that of the defence if husband is confirmed. So, in my opinion, only 3 players away from not only the best starting 11 we've had for years, but also the best possible first team squad with strength in depth we've seen in years.
