Ream wanted by Middlesbrough

It seems they want Ream, let him go I say he is awful. What do you lot think? Get rid or keep him?

Only when we have at least another cb ideally Dawson

He's shit.

Get Rid.

he looked ok when he first came into the team, but he isn't strong enough to be a centre-half in the Championship. I've often thought he could play better as a defensive midfielder but we already have players who can play there.

If we do sign Dawson or another centre half i would let him go.

I get the feeling we are missing something with Ream. He is a decent footballer with touch, pace and passing skills but for some reason he just doesn't seem to be able to look like a CB. At first I thought this was because our defence was overexposed playing the system we did under OC - and since we started using defensive midfielders to shield the back four, he hasn't had a look in. Logically we should get rid, but my gut tells me we are missing a trick with this one.

Yeah, I am inclined to agree. Maybe he should be used as a holding player instead? I know he has played there a few times for us last season but never really cemented his place.

I am inclined to agree with you there, for some reason he looked better in the prem than at our current level.

He hasn't really had a proper run in the side under Douglas so maybe we will never know but personally I would sell him and Mills if it meant brining Dawson back.

Source?

Amazing that people believe this shite.

"Hmmm, we want to mount a serious promotion push next season, who shall we sign? I know, that American lad who can't get a look in at Bolton because he's shite. Let's offer them £2m."

Nixon via the daily mirror

So therefore Nat, it's hardly shite, Nixon is usually bang on.

Please address me as Natasha.

Nixon throws 10 rumours out there and one becomes reality. No one mentions the 9 that were bollocks.

Your face is bollocks, but nobody mentions that either. Have a nice day.

Insulting.

Not true.

Is he wrong? yeah course he is, but most of the time he's bang on or nearly there.

I'd be surprised if he was right this time though!

You've never seen her face or her bollocks so you shouldn't be passing judgment.

I think him playing against Blackpool as opposed to Wheater was a key factor in us ballsing it up. He seems a decent footballer but maybe too lightweight and slow-thinking for this level.

He's played for his country, he's obviously got something about him

He had one decent season with the Red Bulls, was poor the next season and then came to Bolton. He rarely plays for the US ntional team and is not even in the current squad.

In that case he'll have more time to get his act together now he's committed to staying and fighting for his place.
