Forshaw is also on Sunderland’s radar, along with that of promotion-seeking duo Derby County and Aston Villa." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I really rate Adam Forshaw. Would like to see him here, but don't think there's any chance Boro will sell to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means we might pick up somebody like Forshaw or Clayton for a lot cheaper than you'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 6 midfielders? If I remember they are all good quality too. The only ones I consider for us who can play in a 2 are Thorne, Ledley and Huddlestone, two of whom are in their 30s and the other one cannot play twice in a week and we are all crossing our fingers that his next injury isn't any time soon. Another centre midfielder, preferably one with bags of energy, would help reduce the work load on our centre mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Clayton is only 5ft 9 Forshaw is 5ft 8. I'm not surprised Pulis wants rid as they are too small for his teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it will allow us to shift Johnson to being a bit part player with a view of moving him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen him play in midfield three in a 4-3-3. He was the more attacking of those, but not a number 10 like Vydra. Decent player, good with the ball and gets stuck in. Would be happy if we signed him but, as I said, can't see Boro saying to a direct rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
