Also Shotton being fit presumably increases the chances of him moving on this week. We know nothing mate.... I just wing it from my magic 8ball 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Magic 8 ball not as good or accurate as Mother Shipton, 😂 Mother Shipton correctly predicted that Xmas pudding is like kryptonite to MFC players, it took Woodgate to remember this and act on it after recalling a visit there on a school trip.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He's one of the higher rated young CBs around Celtic apparently wanted him back as well as half the Championship so it's quite a coup loan signing if we pull it off. I'm still not sure where we'll be in 6 months when Roberts/Nmecha/Benkovic have gone back after we finish mid table but whatever gets us through to the summer at this point I guess.

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,178 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Gibson and this lad from Leicester would be decent. Two cb allowing Mcnair to go back into midfield. Still think we will lose someone this week. Link to post Share on other sites

Would you swap 6 months with him for 6 months of Shotton? I don't know if that's what's going to happen but if you put it like that then I don't think it's much of a problem. Either way we're losing one of them come the summer. Edited January 26, 2020 by Changing Times Link to post Share on other sites

If we play them enough and they shine, coupled with Woodgate getting a full summer to plan for incoming/outgoings then this season won’t go down as a classic but maybe viewed as where to look for folk like Erimus when answering questions on where did the great 20’s Boro teams start from.

Yeah true I'd take Benkovic/Fry/Ayala as a first choice back 3 for 5 months than the alternatives we have in the squad, as short term plugs go a 13 million pound highly rated CB aint too shabby.

Naisby 736 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 To be taken with a pinch of salt but was told by sources close to Stoke City that there are a few moves for strikers going on but all dependent on each team getting their man in return, no team names given but was told 2 teams eying up a bid for Britt. Stoke not one of them but was told even if a fee agreed they doubted Britt would want to go to either. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, it could be one of those where if things went ok then he might be back for the full season. I don't think he's quite in the first team picture at Leicester, is he?

Nmecha openly said today he's hoping to use this loan to remind Man City how good he is and at 22 next season that's the age city usually cut bait or promote their prospects the only difference with Roberts is they have 8 million tied up in him so will maybe handle him a little less ruthlessly.
