I THOUGHT I WAS BEING CONSERVATIVE MYSELF, BEST ENGLISH WINGER, PROB NOT OF ALL TIME LIKE, BUT HES STILL YOUNG.

'I was at Newcastle when I was a kid between 10-12 before I went to Boro. So I grew up supporting Newcastle, and David Ginola and players like that..'

Adam Johnson a year or two back.

He was decent at Boro, wasn't amazing. I think he's a good player with an eye for goal, but he is often too greedy and takes the wrong option. Probably a ten million pound player to be fair.
 
Distin covered for Baines by the end of last season and did a fine job there. No need.

Twp separate statements there mate, and one of them is scary wrong.
Distin did a great job covering at LB - yes
Our best CB is left-footed and faster than a greased-up bolt of lightning, so we don't need any other cover at LB? - hell no.

Currently our only cover at LB on match days is Distin and Neville, both of whom usually start in other positions. No cover at all off the bench. So if Baines gets a red card or goes off injured AFTER Distin and Neville have subbed off, what then? And what happens in the next game, When Jags and Heitinga start in the middle and Distin goes to LB? Then your only LB cover is Neville. How many games do you REALLY want a couple of 34/35 year olds playing in a season?

Backup LB and another CM are the priorities now, presuming we all view Osman and Barkley as attacking mids. Every year we say our starting eleven is a match for most teams but depth lets us down.... addressing that means bolstering the positions in which we have the least depth.
 
I think Moyes will try to bring in a couple of more players, but only if they are available at the right price. It's important we build on the promising start...
