TLF10 4,440 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Incidentally Jordan Jones started his first game tonight for rangers in months. I am not huge on Jones. I think there better out there. I believe @Smoggydownsouth said we want 2 more. Hopefully a CB and a wider player. Would love the latter to be a permanent as that would possibly be one less problem position that needs filling in summer. And we will have plenty of positions that need filling anyway come summer time Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18169841.middlesbrough-targeting-former-west-ham-defender-reece-oxford/ Echo have confirmed we've made an approach to loan Oxford and we're hopeful of convincing him to come. On Jordan Jones he played a cup game with Rangers fringe players/youngsters played got hooked after 60 minutes by Gerrard who said he was bored watching them in the first hour. He's the only consistent attacking loan link left on the table and I think he'll end up leaving Rangers soon it's whether it's us or Stoke he definitely would give us something on the left cutting inside.

DevKWat 2,365 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Woodgate also said that he would have loved to have played a back 4 tonight obviously couldn’t since we only have 1 for centre half. Personally think Woody wants to go back to the original plan of 4-3-3 as soon as he possibly can. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I always thought Reece Oxford was a DM? I swear that’s when he played in that game against arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Not really one to share info but been told tonight there is definite interest in Gibson and both parties want it to happen. This information is from the same guy that told me about Ste Walker starting against Stoke which I posted about in the matchday thread a good few days before. As I say just passing on information but makes it more interesting after Woody’s BBC Tees interview. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A few ITK people have said that Gibson would be done already if not for the financial aspects of the deal. Hopefully Randolph leaving means that's closer to being sorted out.

Drury asked him he knows Ben been in and around the place. He someone you want. Woodgate said he chairman's nephew so he can visit whenever but when pushed if he wants him he said lets wait and see.

You are correct, he did play DM v Arsenal but he is essentially a Paddy McNair in reverse. Paddy obv being a CM who can play CB if need be. Oxford is a CB who can play DM given he is very comfortable with ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites

Daveymfc 39 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Personally, I’d rather have Oxford than Gibson. Maybe get Chester in on loan too. I honestly can’t see why we’d risk financial stability to bring Gibson back Link to post Share on other sites

No more attackers. Chester on just as much as Gibbo in wages mate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely think we should be looking at Oxford above all others mentioned. I really like him and he fits the mould exactly in what we’re essentially looking for long term.
