thatoldchestnut 583 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He can still leave yet for sure. Medical can be done in England, I'm pretty certain. Bearing in mind he may well be on the pitch until 9.45pm and that if there was to be a deal he wouldnt have been allowed to play tonight in case he was injured. Then he is here at least until January Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Am I mistaken or have we actually signed more players than we've got rid of making the squad larger than it would have been? Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,056 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 PULIS POUNCES BEFORE DEADLINE Middlesbrough have completed the signings of Millwall midfielder George Saville and Wolves defender Danny Batth. Saville arrives at the Riverside on an initial loan deal, which will become a permanent move in January. Boro will pay an undisclosed fee for the 25-year-old Northern Ireland international. Former Chelsea youngster Saville scored 10 goals in 45 appearances last season as Millwall mounted an unexpected challenge for a Championship play-off spot. Batth has joined Tony Pulis’ team on a season-long loan. The 27-year-old centre-half is club captain at Wolves but has not featured for the Premier League newcomers in this campaign. He made 21 appearances last season as Wanderers clinched the Championship title and promotion back to the top flight. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,942 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 They’ve obviously known for quite a few hours before the 5pm deadline that Braithwaite was travelling so I wonder why we have kept Johnson and Fletcher... Johnson and Fletcher? Why is Leadbitter still here is the one at the top of my list. We can just about field an entire XI made up of central midfielders and he's still on our books? Agree to an extent, but his off the field influence is well documented over the years so I wouldn't be surprised to see him making very occasional appearances with most of his work being done behind the scenes. Whether he's worth that in terms of wages is another debate. Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We're obviously sticking with the 3 centre backs, the Saville and Batth signings just seem to be cover. If Braithwaite stays and gets his head down then I think we've got enough to be in and around the top 4 until January. Link to post Share on other sites

You're probably right, Pulis said weeks ago that we're well stocked for CB's so the Batth signing is very strange. I've never seen Saville, hopefully he'll be a midfielder that can get into goal scoring positions for us but it's not a position where we look short in. Link to post Share on other sites
