Middlesbrough braced for summer in interest in Djed Spence

He's played most of the season as a winger, so that's bound to happen.
Very few involvements in goals we've scored.
A decent coach would work on this. Perhaps we concentrate on formation and tactics at the detriment of developing players. Coulson is another example. Bola is another player that has regressed in the second half of the season.
 
he flatters to deceive. He has decent moments, buts that's all they are really, moments.

Defensively, he just seems to switch off and daydream as his man wanders past him into open space to put a cross in or to assist in a goal.

Its all well and good having raw talent, which I think he does, but at some point it needs to be polished and actually have an end product.

Which goals? How many have Howson and McNair been responsible for by comparison?

If our coaching staff aren't up to it, change them.
 
McNair played most of the season at centre back and was involved in quite a few of the goals we conceded.

Do you want rid of him as well?

No, because he's actually been good for most of the season.

He's also been involved in far more of the goals we've scored, whilst playing at centre back.

40 games as a centre back this season, 1 goal, 6 assists.

Spence has played 31 games as a winger, 1 goal, 0 assists.

But at centre back he's there primarily to defend, yet he's been found wanting so many times at the back.

His delivery into the box from the dead ball is excellent, top drawer really, but he can't defend.
 
Djed seems a little too **** sure of himself at times and doesn't do the hard graft..... unless this kicks in he'll meander his way down the leagues. If he starts to graft I believe he could make a brilliant wing back at a high standard.
 
If you can get 7.5- 10 l million for him then I’d sell
The only way we would get even half that is if a Premier league club saw him as a project for the future. It would only be a small up front fee with lots of add ons that he may never fulfill the targets for.

I can see him leaving but I don't think we will get a lot of money to use for squad rebuilding

I agree, more like £750K tops. (at present)
 
Of all of our players that could be sold he is the one who would be top of my list as I really wouldn’t be that bothered if he left. This, for me, says it all.

The jury is still out on if he will have a career scaling any great heights
 
We should most definitely sell Spence, he is not good enough defensively and certainly not offensively.
I was a big supporter of his and thought he showed great potential, but he has regressed for a long time now. His focus and concentration are shocking and he simply can't beat a man, or cross.
All show, no substance
