Hi ed, is this speculation around ben Gibson actually true or is it just because we were interested in him last summer? Cheers mate.

{Ed001's Note - there is still interest there.}

Could you see us putting a bid in mate?

{Ed001's Note - depends on the lad, if he indicates a willingness to listen to an offer, yes. Last summer he was not looking to leave, this summer I don't know if he is reconsidering. I would think he would certainly want to have a think over his future, as Boro did not make promotion.}

Haven't really seen much of him. I know he was hyped up the year boro went down. Looked up on line though to see what he's about. All the "professional" sites say he's good BUT slow, not good in the air, not that strong and an average tackler. Surely most of the attributes a centre back needs. Is that harsh or is he being iverly hyped up because he's english?

{Ed001's Note - his strength is in reading the game, better to read it well and intercept a pass or stop it from being played that way in the first place than to take the risk of a tackle. It is the stuff you don't get to see, the blocking of passing lanes etc that make the real difference.}

Do you rate him Ed?

{Ed001's Note - he looked good under Karanka but has struggled since he left.}
