I don't think he's quite in the first team picture at Leicester, is he? I think he played preseason with them they decided he could break through but Evans/Soyuncu never get injured and he doesn't play 3 at the back so opportunities were limited. I'd guess they're thinking send him to us because we'll play him as long as he's injury free then in the summer see if he's ready to push Evans out I don't see Leicester loaning us a 13 million pound CB for a year and a half.

Robin Johnson 612 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Nmecha hasn’t a prayer of getting in the City team. To me he won’t score enough goals to get noticed, appears to be useful rather than exceptional. Champions level at best I’m afraid. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably end up one of those they sell to help with FFP. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Surprised no one taken link with the Leicester CB with a slight pinch of salt given its the Daily Mail reporting it or have i missed something? Is reporter usually on the pulse with Boro chat? or it being reported elsewhere too? Any ITK confirmed this one has legs Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure that SDS and Lurker have both said that they think we're looking to sign two central defenders this week. This would fit with that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jamesp 125 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Good player at this level but we will never progress as a club if we continue with loan signings which we will just loose at the end of the season. We aren’t going to make the playoffs and we aren’t going down, surely just play someone like Wood at CB. No point in giving someone else’s player game time just to finish mid table while our own players are sat on the bench. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 good players improve the young lads around them, better to loan them when the squad knees them if we can't afford to buy them 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The only way that we are going to be able to compete is by developing our own players, not giving Leicester’s back up CB game time just to loose him again in the summer. We have nothing to play for this season so there is no better time to give someone like Wood game time and look to use him next season. Link to post Share on other sites

Need to be giving hopefully the young core of our team for next season as much game time as possible Pears, coulsen, Spence, fry, Gibbo, tav, wing,mcnair, roberts, the makings of one hell of a team Link to post Share on other sites

We've got a 17 year old CB, that's it. Friend and Shotton are a few weeks off being fit, and might get injured again immediately. Ayala is out for a month or more, Fry it's up in the air whether he's fit or not, I'd lean towards not. Shunting Howson and McNair in to CB doesn't mean they're CBs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I would like and want to give Wood more game time now if he had a nightmare or a bad run of games it could be more damaging for him. Given that he is possibly our only fit centre back right now its vital we have cover and depth especially with no timescales confirmed on Fry and Ayala injuries hopefully they are only short term injuries. I do think we were 1 centre back short even if everyone was fit this season. Link to post Share on other sites
