Guest Changing Times Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Echo now with the exclusives, that must sting for the EG! Wasn't there a story in the Gazette about de Roon leaving linked on here earlier? The EG story about De Roon was from an italian report. It does seem like the Echo are currently the clubs weapon of choice, so to speak. Oh yeah of course they are. I'm just not sure how much of an exclusive it can be if I've already heard about it somewhere else (de Roon, not Baker) :) Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @GraemeBailey Boro could have Baker, Ryan Shotton and Sheyi Ojo in squad by the weekend - would be big boost for Garry Monk. If Adam is in the fold there's the potential to play 4-1-3-2. Clayts with howson in front of him. Ojo one side with adama the other. Britt and paddy/Fletcher up top. Even gestede up top if we plan crossing a lot. Or more conservative would be 4-1-4-1 with howson coming into midfield and an attacker dropping out. Certainly gives us options Even my hated 4-2-3-1 looks decent with a passer as one of the 2 (howson>leadboots) and a proper number 10 in Lewis. Options on the wing to make it a 3 up top I think you've covered most of the formations apart from my own radical invention 3-2-3-2 Shotton ---- Ayala ---- Gibson --------Clayton --- Howson Traore -------- Baker -------- Ojo ------Bamford - Assombalonga I like that. Different. all we need now is 2-2-4-1-1. And 3-1-2-2-2 and we've had the lot Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I wouldn't worry about Braithwaite until we hear something definite, a pull or tweaked muscle can feel like a serious injury at the time so he might have just gone off as a precaution. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,276 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Like, for sure it's an injury that could be a bad one but how do we know it's a hammy? Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrie_7 1,073 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 That Di Marzio dude is saying that De Roon's medical is tomorrow http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/atalanta-agreement-reached-with-middlesbrough-for-de-roon-medicals-tomorrow and this dude is saying that the Baker deal hasn't been decided just yet @NizaarKinsella "Reports in the North East suggest Middlesbrough are confident they've secured a two year loan for Lewis Baker, however… Reading and Birmingham are still in the mix. One thing is for certain is that he will leave on a TWO- year loan deal #CFC Several Premier League clubs were keen but Baker has been offered an extra year and more minutes in the league below. Decision tomorrow #CFC" Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,294 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Lewis Bakes contract runs out in two years. Unless they have an extension clause it's a bit weird they are letting him go. Suppose they are confident he will extend if he does well. Link to post Share on other sites
