Ambitious Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/14596931.Marten_de_Roon_deal_done_as_Boro_boys_return_for_training_as_clubs_queue_up_for_winger/ It states quite clearly we've enquired. I'm not sure why, though. I don't think he'd get on the bench with the current selection of wide players. It would be a very strange signing.

nottingram Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Good player but another left footed winger would be unnecessary. Played wing back for Preston last season if I remember rightly if Pearson is looking at 5 at the back but again we don't need that particularly.

Rample Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Done a bit of forum surfing and most of what I can draw from Preston fans is he's just about better than what they already have. Most think because he was used as a wing back they never saw the best of him, and he'd be more suited to left of a 433 or behind a striker. Biggest compliments were around his skill level compared to their other players, being hard to knock off the ball, good composure, and ability to beat a man. Negatives were his lack of pace, and disappointing number of crosses/assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I don't care how good he is, I just want him to sign because that's a belter of a chant if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'd imagine that what we have is much much better than what Preston have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 According to Nixon the Wendies are trying to take him on loan, but the Sun journo says nothing along those lines could happen until towards the end of the window (reading between the lines they'd rather explore other options first, presumably a possible transfer) and that Boro rate him very highly. Though not highly enough to have him in their Championship team last season... I think a lack of pace sounds worrying and is not what I'd expect for a Pearson signing. Reach did, once upon a time, have a place in the England youth setup but that was a long time ago and I'm certainly not upset over the loss of Kwarme Thomas for instance. Of course it's possible he'd come good but the possible pursuit doesn't inspire confidence. Yet again the club has been spouting the mantra of quality over quantity when it comes to incomings. This speculation suggests the recruitment setup is not delivering on those promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
