interesting to see how certain he is, seems promising.

He probably means loaning out Bony, Mangala and Nasri :)

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Gibson is a player that could easily be a brilliant buy or a disaster.

He has shown that he can do everything Pep wants - likes carrying the ball out of defence, is comfortable in possession, has a decent pass - but he's been doing it at such a low level. It's so much easier to stand out with that kind of occasional thing when no one is really expecting Middlesbrough to play out or that bothered about stopping them, it's so much easier to look solid when Aitor Karanka has 6 other defenders back with you etc.

Lack of pace might be an issue as well, given how high up the pitch we defend. I must admit I liked the look of him at Boro - rugged, but a decent ball player into the bargain - but as you say there's a world of difference between defending on the edge of your own box with 5 team mates within spitting distance, and defending on the half way line with the nearest team mate 30 yards away

I'm hoping we'll get some news on transfers tonight/tomorrow. Typically you get the informal briefs/gossip once the pressers are happening.

Interesting what Ian said about Peps press conference.

1-2 more signings.
Important we brought Youth and Pace.

Mbappe/ Sanchez and a CB for me...

I'd prefer forward + fullback able to cover LCB position.

I think after Fernandinho mouthed off about us buying a LB it's quite likely we'll be moving for Danny Rose.

They seem very thin on the ground these days mate, any suggestions?

I hope any kid that is desperate to make it Is looking at the current market, if you can make even a slightly decent full back you'll be quids in
