I've just heard some information from a usually very reliable source regarding one of Middlesbrough's higher profile players having just agreed a deal to a Premier League team in the North West. Current prediction is either Jason Steele or Rhys Williams.
I have no idea which team it is to yet...
We will generally have to pay over the odds for British players (especially considering he can now be classed a a Championship player), which we can't afford to do... we also don't necessarily need British players.
Carrick is 5" taller than Osman, they play differently. Osman further forward, Carrick further back.
Why are we discussing how similar they are in a transfer rumours thread?
