Middlesbrough sign exciting Manchester City prospect

Sky Bet Championship club Middlesbrough are dreaming of a return to the Premier League and currently occupy fourth position in the league table, much to the delight of the Boro fans who frequently visit the Tavern.

There was more cause for them to be optimistic this afternoon after it was announced via the BBC that Manchester City youngster Bruno Zuculini has joined the club on loan for a month.

The 22-year-old is thought of highly by the Tavern’s resident DJ who is a keen City supporter and he is tipping the starlet for a big future, making him a shrewd signing for the Championship outfit.

Having joined City in 2014, the central midfielder has made just one appearance for the first-team at the Etihad, and will provide cover for the injured Adam Forshaw at the Riverside Stadium.

One Boro fan is enjoying a refreshing pint of cider and thinks the signing is evidence of the fantastic progress the club are making.

Boro fans… Do you agree? Is the signing of Zuculini a statement of intent? Is there scope to extend this deal if he impresses, do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
