2plus2 290 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 ??????? Fabio Ayala Bernado Friend Clayton Howson Forshaw ??????? Bamford Assombalonga ??????? Fabio Ayala Bernado Friend Clayton Howson Forshaw Traore ??????? Assombalonga I hope to god Bernardo is nowhere near our starting 11 Another player I think could excel at Championship level. Whilst he looked shaky at best in the PL, and a little off the pace, defending against Championship attacks is a very different proposition. Plus he has a good attitude / vocal approach to defending, which is certainly worth something. If we keep Gibson, Ayala, Bernado and Baptiste, then I don't think we need CB reinforcements. However, if we lose Gibson, I agree we need another option. Fry doesn't seem quite ready imo and shouldn't be higher then 5th choice. And Baptiste probably shouldn't be higher then 4th.

Snowblind 1,711 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 GK - Johnstone / Ripley / Dimi RB - Fabio / ??? CB - Ayala / Fry CB - Flint / Bernardo LB - ??? / ??? DM - Clayton / ??? CM - Forshaw / Guedioura CM - Howson / Leadbitter RW - Traore / Kent ST - Assombalonga / Bamford / Gestede LW - McGeady / Chapman That's if the latest linked players were to come. I know people keep listing Bamford at RW, but from there he operates as an Inside Forward - not what Monk would want in his system. That said though, Paddy could be used as the Advanced No. 10 if we wanted to take the game to sides more throughout the season; Howson holding behind with Clayton. Would means the ???? at DM wouldn't necessarily need filling. Also assuming that George, Baptiste and Gibbo leave. Some other names which I've not added: Joe Bryan (LB) Kyle Bartley (CB) Charlie Mulgrew (CB) Cyrus Christie (RB) Sheyi Ojo (LW) Link to post Share on other sites

He also came back earlier than expected from an ACL injury so was going to be rusty as hell anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I could take or leave Bernardo, myself, but I think he is worth giving another chance - after all, if someone had have only started watching Boro last season they'd think Ayala was pretty useless as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 A season in the Championship could do Espinosa a world of good. Obviously it all depends on what Monk thinks of him in training but I think he could be an asset Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a strange one, must have been highly regarded at his previous club so has to be too soon to write him off yet, but wouldn't be surprised if he was to move on though as he must be in the higher earners bracket.

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He was apparently getting interest from Bournemouth and Everton I think aswell. In my eye he was most of the times a decent defender, but had moments of getting turned easily and was painfully slow. Think he could be good at this level if I'm honest, also left footed, could be ready made replacement for Gibson. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 300 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He's right footed isnt he ? Always looked right footed to me anyway Link to post Share on other sites
