I'm not knocking Gilbert's qualities - I have seen hardly anything of him, but as it stands he has played 7 times this season for Middlesborough in the league and in total 10 games he's appeared in, for a total of 340 minutes, in which he has one goal, no assists, ten touches in the opposition box, six successful lay offs, one successful dribble and one yellow card.
How long will it take him to get match fit. He has appeared in a total of 27 games in the league in his career. A lot to put on the young, inexperienced shoulders. League 1 is a brutal division. Not played in League 1 and it was 3 years ago, but 8 appearances in Swindon with no goals.
He said he'd much prefer to develop our own players and likes people to be around for a while so they buy into the project but would take loans if they added quality.
He originally said that he wasn't interested in improving other teams players by taking loans iirc, clearly now he seems to be having no other choice...🙄

Lot different loaning a premiership teams 17/18 year old kid, and a 23 year old who is failing to get into a championship first team who we actually might be able to make permanent.

But we keep being told that Jones is given who he wants.

Yet he took a loan this summer.
Clearly his preference is own players over loans but he's not ruled them out.

He said he only wanted them if they definitely would improve us, which is why we nearly signed that young Arsenal GK on loan who ended up in La Liga.

Obviously took this with a large pinch of salt, but anyone know if there's any element of fact in this?
If only there was an appreviated way of saying just that.

Hardly any of those clips were in the oppositions half.
Gulp!

Nothing there in those clips showing him as a 10 or a winger.
He looks younger, fitter and better than AC and Probably Edun. Still haven't seen enough in a real game and that's the issue for me.
We are close to the play offs. I'd like to see us being more aggressive in who we sign.
