Ritchie de Laet to Boro

[Raw Dykes]

Love how people think Amartey is going to be back up for Simpson. We clearly didn't buy him to sit on the bench, and especially not for RB.

 

Who said he's going to sit on the bench? I don't think anyone thinks that Amartey is only going to play if Simpson's injured - just that he can play RB, meaning we can lose De Laet if necessary. Amartey could be 1st choice CM or CB (or maybe even RM), but still be moved to RB if Simpson's not available.

on his way it seems

Reading Boro fans on twitter saying "he'll be a good back-up". So he could be going from Premier league back-up to Championship back-up

Don't think we should be letting any player go who has first team time on the field this season unless we've got in a better replacement.

 

Amartey means 1 defender can go.

[Nick]

Surprised at this - we obviously bought Amartey as a right back.

[M0901]

If he goes, good luck to him. Solid player who at times has produced the goods. Any abuse he gets is absolutely absurd

[ramboacdc]

hes off! got to explain to my daughter that the man on her wall dont play for us now. 

[themightyfin]

Hes gone and with Benny going are we bringing in a RB?

Of all the players, she has the weirdest looking one on her wall?

[GaelicFox]

Who is going to hold back Vardy and his missus from attacking Japan ?

Does this mean Amartey will be used at RB?

[filbertstreet]

Maybe he's gone to get Nuge back

[MC Prussian]

Sounds like we're after an emergency loan deal in the right-back department.

 

I suppose Boro would still have to agree on the deal after a successful medical. No matter where our players end up on loan, I do hope they're successful.

 

Also, I think Middlesbrough would deserve coming back up to the Premier League - Karanka is building something longer-lasting.

Only thing I can think of is that he is trusted to cover Simpson.

[escos]

I can see Moore covering at right back again!

[Matt]

Apparently he's just arrived at the Boro training ground ahead of a loan deal, he wasn't originally keen on a loan but has since changed his mind.

[Alex_LCFC]

He's having a medical

[Matt]

Oh, I thought he was just going for a tour of their training ground...

[Fox seen in Norwich]

Does this mean Amartey will be used at RB?

I'm wandering this too...

[RowlattsFox]

Suprised by this but Claudio obviously feels a combination of benny and Amartey and maybe even Albrighton can cover.
