Ridman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 old news from skysports: Jonathan Woodgate has explained that Gareth Southgate's presence at Middlesbrough was the key factor in his decision to move to Teesside. The 26-year-old defender tied up a season-long loan move from Real Madrid last week, but he had several other options open to him. Former club Newcastle were keen to bring him back to St James' Park but Woodgate has insisted that his mind was made up as soon as he listened to Southgate's vision for Boro. "I spoke to Newcastle as well. I could have gone to other clubs in Spain but I just wanted to come back to the North East of England," he told the Sunday People. "It's not a surprise to me that I am at Middlesbrough and not Newcastle. Middlesbrough are a big club, the manager is fantastic and the club is ambitious. We have just bought Robert Huth as well. What's your point? That he rejected us. Not the other way around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Libertine Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If Woody stays fit we will have one of the best defences personell wise in the country; Woodgate Faye Enrique Beye Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal Carr numbers-wise, yes. ability-wise, questionable. we've looked as shit as ever at the back this season and the goals against stat is worse than a few teams lower than us. serious work needs to be done in that area if we want to go up the league.

What's your point? I think Shepherd and Roeder would have been more of a turn off than anything else to be honest. Its ironic that one of the reasons for woodgate wanting to leave could be the lack of ambition, lack of fan attendance, the nasty support players do get when people turn up ala Downing. An Huth signed and disappeared on a roller coaster of injuries not exactly the picture was looking for when he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Roeder wanted Huth and FS wanted Woody in the end we had no one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If Woody stays fit we will have one of the best defences personell wise in the country; Woodgate Faye Enrique Beye Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal Carr numbers-wise, yes. ability-wise, questionable. we've looked as s*** as ever at the back this season and the goals against stat is worse than a few teams lower than us. serious work needs to be done in that area if we want to go up the league. Thats down to the tactics and inviting so much pressure on them plus we havent had a settled back four Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats down to the tactics and inviting so much pressure on them plus we havent had a settled back four we've conceded 5 more than bolton who are famed for their defensive football and who have shit defenders. more than boro too who are piss poor. better defenders could handle the pressure of players attacking them. ours just seem to choke constantly and fuck up in every game.

junkhead Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 not sure about Woodgate, we all know the risks.. although i'd be pleased if that allows Faye to move forward as a DM, cause i'm sick of relying on Butt and Smith's pseudo 'get stuck in' bullshit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If we sign Woodgate I would use Rozehnal primarily (sp?) as a defensive midfielder. I wouldnt, Butt and Faye are good enough. Roz has been pretty poor so far and i'd happily move him on in the Summer. Think Faye is our best centre back so I would rather he stayed there. I still have hope for Roz, he has been shaky but he looks to have a bit of talent too. Shit, its Bramble! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Didn't he reject us for Middlesbrough just last summer? F*** him We rejected him. Doubt it. We did. He came to us for talks and we didn't want to take a risk on him because of his fitness record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
