From his presser this morning he seems really reluctant to do business in Jan. I think we only will if we're left with no choice. 

 

They got Gordon in January, so I suspect only if a good deal is available.

I mean if it's between bring this lad back or loan in someone as a stop gap id bring Targett back. 

 

I must admit though, we are one of the few clubs Especially at elite level which always seems to be reluctant about something or other

Any sort of success in the FA and CL and we’ll continue playing 2 games a week until late March. We can’t keep going with Lewis Hall alone and will need BDB for CB with Schar’s injury and Lascelles non-existence. I say get him back if we don’t want to compromise the summer budget.

Well at least he's been getting game time, so up to speed, albeit at Champo level.

But aye, looks like we aren't buying anyone this window unless desperate and/or some amazing deal comes up.

It's probably a harsh perspective but he's out of contract at the end of this season, isn't he? I don't imagine we're offering him a new one so if Boro have kindly got him match fit, we might as well make use of him while we can, even if Lewis stays fit and he ends up mostly bench filler.

He'll not get a minute if we bring him back, just buy someone who we can at least bed in and ready for next season. 

 

He'd be 3rd choice LB behind Hall & Tino but it pushes Burn out of the LB picture. He'll likely get minimal game time like the last 2 and a half seasons but at least it's not leaving us short.  Sign someone long term in the summer.

I guess because Tino was the backup left back, not he's not available we have no backup.

Yep, that’s the thinking, although arguably Tripps and Krafth could cover but neither have been consistently fit too.

Poor decision making really, having your first choice RB be the back up LB. Means little rest for them, because in a game one of Trippier or Hall would likely need to come off and Tino is the guy to come on.

I'd bring him back personally. The whole reason he's at Boro is because you'd expect that having 3 LBs in the squad would be enough cover. It ending up that we're down to one, who's also had injury problems this season is a strange set of circumstances that needs a temporary fix which wouldn't really be solved by bringing someone new in.

Interesting quote from the Boro forum:

Agree Targett is a contender for player of the season imo he’s been excellent along with Ayling.
