Boro Mania

It’s that time of the year again where the club begins to be linked to every man and his dog, so i’d like to cast my own opinions on some of the more high profile players, players we should definately avoid who we’ve been linked to in the press and players i think would certainly improve Boro as a team.

Middlesbrough extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games following a strong, battling performance at Goodison Park.

Last season, Wheater was a revelation. He made a seamless transition from academy prospect to Premier League star. This season Wheater is being given new challenges as his place in the first team has come under threat.

It’s another Sunday kick off for the Boro, in a difficult game which we’ll be hoping to see atleast a point dropped in the hat to add to this season’s tally.

Tuncay Sanli led Boro to a fantastic away victory at Villa Park and cemented Boro’s place in the top half of the Premiership table.

Stewart Downing is an enigma – targeted by England boo-boys, yet coveted by the big clubs.

This weekend’s fixture brings Boro head to head with the latest up and coming European hopefuls, Aston Villa.

It’s been around three month’s since I last wrote an article covering the North East’s three big dog’s at the same time.

It is a mark of how young a squad is when Julio Arca, at 27, is considered a veteran. The Middlesbrough squad is one of, if not the, youngest in the league and they will be welcoming back a few of the more experienced players following injury and suspension.
