Boro forums reckon we've agreed a fee for George Friend?

He looked pretty woeful against pace in the play off final.

I've not seen enough of him to give an option. Worries me that he couldn't get into the Wolves side though.

Is joe Bennett still our player or did he move permanent to BHA? If not sherwood may wish to give him another go .

Wasn't that quite a while back at Wolves? He was boro's player of the season two years running which I thought was positive news until I remembered Stephen Ireland!

I don't think it is that bonkers.  Bennet's biggest problems seemed to stem from a lack of confidence and Sherwood seems seems to instil that into most players.

I know it's a bit of a one off but cast your mind back to April 2014 , villa 1-0 chavski , Bennett you could argue was MOTM

Disagree.  From what I have seen so far, a lack of defensive ability is his biggest problem.

I saw Bennett play on TV a month or so ago. I swear he was being played as a left winger with a left back behind him.

I said before that I thought Bennett had potential to be a decent player, even if it was as wide midfielder. Then again I kept saying how much I liked Chris Herd so what the smeg do I know.
