Dwight Gayle deal collapsed as we have made surprise progress on 2 strikers and we pulled the plug.( both played uk last year ). Spence deal preventing finalising them both. Could be another big exit from the squad, player wants to play premier league But no pressure to sell. Lenihan already been to rockcliffe for photos.

I haven’t had a lot. My source has been quiet since he met a new lass and he’s spending every spare minute with her and her lad Mungo. Nothing more on Darlow only that announced soon.

We’re close to signing Gayle, it’s almost done.

I’ve been told Darlow could be confirmed as early as Monday.

Expect us to get Gyokeres after Spence goes. Just been told it’s a large part of the fee going on him. No idea on either fee though

If Lumley does go on loan to Reading, are we allowed to waive the rule that stops loan players playing against their parent club?

Strange window so far. A couple of deals agreed with clubs done but waiting for spence money to complete them one a big loan but an upfront fee. 1 player signed but won’t be announced until after return from holiday. There was indeed a medical today not heard the outcome though? Don’t rule out extra out goings though. Could be big window this!

Can we just draw a line under all this please? This week, we're actually making moves in the transfer market, we've got players heading out on loan, we've given Howson a new deal, and we've got a new goalkeeping coach in. I'm sure there are more important things to discuss than squabbling like school kids.

just spotted this on the Gazette’s app

Tottenham announce Spence signing! https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2022/june/drew-spence-completes-move-to-spurs-women/

Thankfully Danny Shittu never thought of doing this.

Whether Juninho23 is or isn't who he claims he is or accused of being surely he should be allowed to post until such times as he does or says something unacceptable. No doubt the usual suspects will be wetting themselves with glee if he does indeed turn out to be a pain which is sadder still. This forum should be representative of all things Boro, daft kids posting nonsense, old farts posting nonsense, excitable posters exclaiming their Boro till I die credentials, erudite posters, witty posters, lurking posters, posters whose escape from sad reality is here, posters who love to revel in

Bit in paper.

Howson has been offered contract on reduced terms but is weighing up options as he's been informed we are looking for a new CDM I can share the training top picture now if you want but you can all see it on the website photos now. Massive fall out with wilder and Hall after a under 23 game that I posted previously. Hopefully 2 signings in very soon

now this is someone who's figured out the multiquote option! Impressive!

The dig was at Warnock, rather than Boro, so I'm not gona get upset over it. Still doesn't reflect great on the lad that his first thought was to have a pop at an ex manager after winning a final. The tweet comes across as petty to me... Lacking a bit of class and humility. Makes me more inclined to believe the bad attitude rumours. Hope we can sell him fast for good money and move on.

I speak Spanish mate. The part that most caught my eye in the interview was the following, which seems to indicate quite clearly what he wants to do: Quiero quedarme en Middlesbrough. Me encanta la pally fanny.

It seems the oneboro ducking stool mentality was out in full force today, a new poster whose username upset a few posts something, gets ridiculed and the dogs abuse for it, savagely attacked by the pack only to find out that his prophecy was actually true and correct and that he wasn't a Witch after all. Shame he drowned, still he deserved it as he was obviously a Troll and didn't fit in with the Mean Boys. Very intriguing and interesting to see who liked the more moderate, reasonable posts calling for fairness and who didn't. Irony is if Juninho23 was a wind up merchant he has had the la

Best ITK we have had on here and he’s been banned 😂😂😂

Long time reader first time poster. Boro fan living in Cardiff; I try and get to a few away games a year down the south west. really enjoy the transfer threads and appreciate the snippets from some of the posters. I have no knowledge of transfers but know a load of Cardiff fans who rave about Ryan Giles - saying his delivery is outstanding. Here’s hoping. UTB

Saw 46 new posts and thought there must be some decent news My disappointment that it is just a debate about Spence's instagram is immeasurable

Dimi will be signing as our new academy goalkeeping coach. Spoke to him tonight and interesting restructure going on in the academy. Keiron Scott has been very intrusmental.

The year is 2056 and Josh Coburns Middlesbrough side are linked with 65 year old Chelsea left back Baba Rahman on loan

Me neither. Although I'll never forget my first visit as a kid. Saw a Boro fan get completely rolled over the top of a car at a zebra crossing outside a pub. Landed flat on his *** with his trackies down - car sped off. He got up unharmed, pulled his trousers up, and carried on walking to cheers from the drinkers outside the pub. Never even dropped his cigarette. My uncle said to me 'They're 'ard up north.' I was pretty young so thought that kind of thing genuinely happened all the time compared to where we lived 😅

Welcome back Djed

Just watched the interview with Giles on the club website and one thing which really stuck out to me was that he spoke about the pull of coming to play for Chris Wilder and the front foot attacking style of play. I’ve got to say we seem to be a much more attractive proposition than we were a year ago.

Without wanting to derail transfer chat, I was instantly banned when I joined the forum too. This was eventually lifted, but there seems to be a history of paranoia about new members being old members. Was a bit odd seeing Juno get buckets of hate at the same time as Mungo, someone not on the forum, becoming a cult hero despite offering up less information.

I don't often post here as I prefer to lurk. Have to say the persecution of Juninho23 is troubling. Some of you lambasting him need to take a good look at yourselves.

The obsession with getting targets in early is confusing to me. Surely it's far more important to get the right players in rather than getting players in quickly? I understand a full preseason is helpful, but it's far less important than the personality and skills of the players themselves. Look at forests start to last season and where they ended up. I hope we take our time and sign players who will improve our squad rather than going out and getting players just because they're available.

We had agreed 2.5 million obligation too buy on him. But they didn’t get the time too submit it through so went too a season long loan with no obligation.

Inside Middlesbrough’s data driven worldwide scouting network

In for Kourtney hause but his agent is trying to engineer for Premier league transfer Grant Hall and wilder had a massive bust up after hall played in a under 23 match and only came in fir a half gym session the following day. Like I mentioned earlier in January, we received an extra million for Spence deal. 500k to extend deal and 500k for promotion. We are still trying to get European loan interest in Payero loan but looks like he may get his wish and go back to Argentina with us paying 60per cent wages! Personally gutted about this but wilder made it clear that he doesn't th

Haha spot on. Last year the gripe was how ineffectively we had made use of the loan market. This years gripe is why we using the loan market at all. You cant make it up sometimes on here.

Isn’t it the same situation with us with Spence and Jones? Both had a decent season but fans saying we shouldn’t accept anything less than 15 million. Coventry fans are basically doing the exact same thing but getting called deluded…. And I’d say strikers generally go for more than right backs do. that’s not me saying I’d pay that for him but just trying to look at it from a different perspective

Embarrassing for the posters going at him, even more so for the mods to ban him for no reason.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10950259/Tottenhams-Djed-Spence-hits-snag-Middlesbrough-asking-15m-plus-add-ons.html "If Spurs refuse to match Middlesbrough's financial demands, it is thought a deal could be struck with German side Borussia Dortmund, or another Premier League side, who are also keen on Spence."

Did you know when we signed Saville we nearly signed....

The amount of times Dijksteels pace saved us last season..

#Attitudeoverability

Of all the people linked with moves away I'd probably keep Payero and Uche... Payero has the IT factor we just need to get it out of him Uche brings something completely different. If we're having 5 strikers there's a spot for him. He's huge and works hard.

Darlow in by the end of next week Club pushing hard to get Armstrong and Hamza Choudhury in Trying to get Gyokores on a permanent still but we're way off Coventry's valuation.

Can someone post the update that Lyall had?

I think you give Balogun the benefit of the doubt for his first loan spell. The lads got talent. I’d 100% have him back on a season long loan.

The point is, were not desperate like some people seem to think we are. Were not in a derby situation, we don't have the problem where if we don't sell Spence we go out of business etc etc. If we don't sell spence, it's not the end of the world to us - we have other options. And there are also plenty of other suiters if spurs don't want to go to the valuation we have of him. I just can't believe some people are saying drop his price just to get him out the door now, its ridiculous.

I really don't get why people are bothered. Hes been mercilessly slagged off by a huge section of our fan base, repeatedly told he wasn't good enough. He's then joined a club where he was adored, found success and proved his doubters wrong. Why the hell would he have any affection for boro/boro fans at all?

Not sure Choudhury is better than what we already have and I don’t think he would get into our team.

I saw that too mate, snapped a picture of who came out but it was just some old woman...

I am shocked that you hold such an opinion!
