He had interest from Crawley this window, but TLT and Cartwright were both slated for loans in summer, just got injured in preseason which prevented it. Now looks like we're happy to still offload Racioppi and utilise TLT as no 2 for the time being. Dare say we'll be looking for another keeper and to still let TLT go out if poss though. At 21 it's better for him to continue his development elsewhere than sit on the bench here
We need Giles to recover his old Boro form. He plays out of his skin and there’s a chance of recovering more money for him in the Summer.
Keepers tend to develop and peak a lot later than outfield players. At only 21, he's still expected to develop further over the next 2 or 3 years in the hope he'll be eventual no 1. He ain't going to develop sitting on our bench as no 2 though, so it's best all round if he goes out and plays.
Nobody wants to buy him, exactly what do you expect City to do about that? We want him out the door, Boro are the only club interested, we've no option but to accept whatever's on offer and hope he performs so we can at least get some of our coin back in the summer.
Fans of most clubs will be able to point to a similar list of 'wasters' over the years. We are not unique in that respect.
He obviously wants to play for Boro and maybe Carrick will get the best out of him. That could lead to a win/win situation
