Curious one. Still not announced at Boro.

He's four months younger than Tom Huddlestone and obviously a lot older than George Evans. Would he do a much better job than them? He made 18 starts last season in China (I don't know what proportion of games that is). I've said I'd prefer to see Tomori in that position, but then we'd have to buy a new centre half.

There's a thread on the main forum about playoff places and it's clear that if we're to challenge for automatics we can't afford many dropped points which means we don't have the luxury of giving players a lot of time to get up to speed. Only he and Frank will know whether he's the sort of lad who can still contribute from the off. If he is, I'd want him at Derby.

We could really do with a player like Mikel. Proper all round midfielder. 

Wasn't he tipped to be a proper world class playmaker until Mourinho decided to turn him into a strict DM? 

Having said that, looking at his stats, he plays #10 for Nigeria and ain't scored many goals so world class might be pushing it a bit.
