Westwood will shortly be leaving to take part in Euro 2016 with the Republic of Ireland, and Boro are eyeing him up as they search for reinforcements between the sticks. The 31-year-old has had a tremendous season for Sheffield Wednesday and an inspired performance in the play-off final almost spurred the Owls on to promotion. However they just fell short and Westwood could now be tempted to return to both the Premier League and the North East with Boro. Aitor Karanka could trigger the former Sunderland, Coventry and Carlisle goalkeeper’s reported £2.5m release clause in the Irishman’s contract. With Middlesbrough needing a new goalkeeper to compete with Dimi Konstantopoulos and Tomas Mejias, the move could well suit both parties. Sheffield Wednesday fans what do you think to this news? Is £2.5m below your valuation of your ‘keeper? Would this move give Joe Wildsmith a real chance of nailing a permanent first team spot in goal?

Will 2,958 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 EXCLUSIVE I've just driven back home for the weekend up the M1 and happen to have seen a number plate on a fancy car that can only have been a footballers. The number plate was L10 RRD Which as I'm sure you can all agree means that the Lord himself has decided to sign for Boro. I'd like to be the first to welcome the Lord himself Nicklas Bendtner to our great club. Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think it's probably just waffle about Westwood & we aren't interested in him. Link to post Share on other sites

teapot 4 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/03/jamie-vardy-leicester-***nal-trigger-release-clause Giroud anyone? Ha I'd love Giroud here. He gets a lot of stick from ***nal fans but he is really a very good striker. Slightly out of our reach I'd say but yes he would be top of my list of unattainable PL strikers So in your list of unattainable strikers, Giroud is above Aguero, Kane, Lukaku, Vardy and Benteke.

I'd put Kane lukaku and aguero in total dream land premier league strikers that isn't even worth thinking about. I'd certainly take him over benteke and vardy though. Pointless conversation as we'll be signing Danny Graham on a 3 year deal. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there was a car with that number plate, no it wasn't Nicklas Bendtner :D The bit about a car that could've only been a footballers was a little bit of embellishment on my part.
