Signs for Boro and was also linked with Wolves and Forest. Was out of contract but Brentford supposedly due £600k that can rise to a mill.

Interesting. Boro marched up the table after changing managers, they've have to be a favourite for promotion this season?

Bar the three teams just relegated they'd be favorites to go up. If Gilbert is earning Brentford that much compensation then surely Knight would get triple that amount for Derby. 166 appearances for Derby and 20 international caps with the potential to reach 30 in the next 12 months.

Gibert (22) may well be going out on loan before the month is out -- only 5 first team appearances from the bench, for a total of 49 minutes.

Gilbert was Brentford Bs best player, which again gives us an idea of the standard of Premier League under 21 teams and B sides, this lad regularly fails to make the Middlesbrough bench. Hopefully might get a run in League 1.

On top of that, he looks incredibly slight. Saw him in a Boro jersey and was scrawny. That's not always an impediment but definitely hard for a lad breaking in in his situation with hardly any senior football under his belt.
