Re: Jonathon Franks
What position does he play? Is he a right winger . . I thought he was left sided?
Re: Jonathon Franks
According to a bloke i work with he is a right sided midfielder and very good, would be closer to the first team with a bit more experience
Re: Jonathon Franks
would make sense as we're gagging for a right sided midfielder.
Re: Jonathon Franks
I understand that Boro rate him quite highly so i would be pleased to have him on loan!
Re: Jonathon Franks
He's mainly a right winger, but can also play up front as a striker. Would be a good addition to the squad. Convery used as back-up to add a bit of depth?

Re: Jonathon Franks
the only problem i forsee is that he could well be involved in the boro first team next season.
if we couldnt get him i wouldnt mind seeing Todd move for Nathan Porritt.

Re: Jonathon Franks
He's so highly rated that i would be not only delighted but very surprised if we got him. I would imagine he wont be far off the burrah first team squad next season he was on the bench a few times last season. He's been involved in most England youth teams. I hope Toddy can pull it out of the bag though.

Re: Jonathon Franks
I don't think defensive options are our main concern at the moment, its the depth of our attack (especially forwards) which I think is most important.
We definatley need a striker and a versatile attack minded midfielder or two.

Re: Jonathon Franks
we have two positives in our corner, one being colin todd who more than likely still has links with boro and the other being how we launched the careers of Matty Bates & David Wheater.

Re: Jonathon Franks
Yeah good point about Bates and Wheater. I suppose if there was some sort of recall clause in the loan then Boro would have nothing to lose really. Although it all might make too much sense for Gareth to understand it.
Re: Jonathon Franks
he's a very very useful player. I'd be delighted if we got him , but very very surprised

Re: Jonathon Franks
Seen Bruno on tele for England youth team, was a very handy player. Also, seen him playing in the Town Cup Final the past couple of years, and apart from his sendings off, was a cut above the rest.
