Ryan Yates has just signed a new 3 year deal. Obviously rated, but bound to be back out for loan now.
From what I can gather. We have been training as a squad earlier than most. Yates has been involved in that and Karanka has taken a shine to him.
The new deal is to bump his wages up a bit more.
Obviously, the club are going for it this season, so he's going to struggle to establish himself at the current time. Not that I don't doubt he won't, but playing at a league club is better than sitting out watching.
He is being compared with Chris Cohen, that's do me.
Reality is, you guys have seen him more than I have. No better intelligence gathering than supporters watching him.
He was very good at breaking up play and putting his head in but I'm not entirely sure he's ready for Championship football just yet. He gets goals from set pieces but his forward passing is a bit lacking. He chooses the simple ball rather than a flashy pass to nowhere which I like but definitely put him as a battling type of midfielder. Definitely lightweight for the championship though
I would have thought it would be pronounced Boulder wine or vine, depending on how dutch you're feeling but the way he says it himself in the short clip on twitter sounds like "Boldwin" so I'm consulting a dutch friend and will report back
Welshman - so its 'Blodwyn'
