Got to say credit where credit is due, I’m hugely impressed with the business we have done so far. The fact that other clubs were willing to pay a higher percentage of Flo’s wages but we were the club and player’s preference. The fact that we’ve edged out Celtic for McGree, a club who have the pull of European football and a manager the player already knows from his time with the national team. I just feel like it speaks volumes to the project that Chris Wilder and Kieran Scott are building. Very exciting times to be a Boro fan.16 points

Just interviewed a lad at work, saw that he was Slovenian, nice and professionally, first question; "Andraz Sporar is class isnt he?"16 points

- Payero Potentially may be going out on loan (no option to buy) if we get 2 players in and our T&C's regarding his full wages are covered. His preference is to back to Argentina but clubs can't afford his full wages but interest also coming from German and Italian clubs who can cover his 18k wages. Deal is to get him 1st team football and come back for the summer. Deal makes sense especially if we don't renew Howson contract although talks have begun on that front but it will be even further reduced terms. Not sure if people are aware but Howson's last contract extensi16 points

Feel a little strange posting this but just wanted to thank all the members for their contributions to the site. Been struggling for the last 2 years. Often go to bed on a night wondering whether it would just be easier to stay asleep. When i do wake up and try to pretend everything is ok and go to work as normal this forum is a genuine source of escape for me. Thanks to all. #UTFB9 points

McGree is an Aussie being bought from an American club in fairness. Most of our signings are likely to be from the British Isles because we're a British club. That's just a fact. I never really get why people are bothered about where players come from? I'm bothered about how good they are, are they decent pro's, can we afford them.9 points

That's the latest from our Twitter Sports Correspondent, Payero. Now over to Batman with the Weather.8 points

Crooks has been immense this season in all the roles he's been asked, first name on the team sheet for me, who ever we sign7 points

This is Boro, right? As in Middlesbrough? Red and white strip? Play at the Riverside? Neil Warnock feels like years away.7 points

I must say you have some of the...more unusual takes on here. Think there's an argument Crooks has been our best player this season! He'll have a huge part to play for the rest of it.6 points

Struggling with a new culture and new language, let's loan him to another country with a new culture and language! Italian would be easier to pick up than English for him, and Argentine culture derives a tonne from Italian, but I'm still not fond of it as an idea. Sending him to Germany is just back to square one.6 points

Don't agree with slagging AFCON, massive tourney for African players and no less prestigious than the Euros/Copa. Seem to recall a certain ref having an utter shocker at the world cup one time and dishing out 3 yellows to a player, guess that makes it a mickey mouse tourney too 🤷♂️ That said struggling to see how DZ could be construed to be racist or making (borderline) racist comments. Agree or disagree with the point he's making all you want, but he's been very clear that he doesn't respect the tournament due to its scheduling. Nowhere has anyone's nationality, race, culture or5 points

Honestly you are ridiculous, the other day you were adamant we’d take about 6/7 for him. Please stop acting like you have any sort of inside information5 points

It is promising though that we are buying players to suit a formation and a style of play rather than whoever we can get our hands on, think that was part of the issue at the start of the season under Neil, we had his Championship stalwarts come in alongside Scotts boys so it all looked very disjointed, not to mention the constant change of formation and tactics. With Chris he knows how he wants to play week in & week out, and he has a set formation. There might be great players available but if we can't fit them into these positions then it's pointless having them, so I am glad the n5 points

Interestingly Muniz signed for Fulham ahead of us - said at the time they had a better chance of going up and they had London as a pull. But he too has hardly played. When he has - hasn't done much. Think its hard to adapt to this league.4 points

Give over. There’s nothing racist in anything he’s said. Is this where we are at now? If something involves black people and isn’t regarded as amazing then you are being racist? Absolutely pathetic 🤦♂️4 points

I’m not sure if this is the strategy or not, but how refreshing it is to see players come in to the squad before we let others go. I’ve said it a few times on this thread now but I think we do actually have a professional system for incomings and outgoings rather than how other recent windows have played out. It could be said that our two best signings of the season are our Director of Football ( forgotten his name) and Wilder.4 points

You're right, mate. I don't mind as long as we sell for an adequate sum and purchase as good (or potential we can develop in good time) for less. If we think we can get two good players for every one we sell one then the model will work itself out eventually, for sure. The problem I have personally is with some people's idea Tav could or should be sold for £5m when apparently we're open to buying a replacement for a similar amount. These are Prem clubs looking at Tav and we're looking to buy from the MLS. We'd be better off keeping Tav and not getting involved if the two fees were so simi4 points

If that’s true on Howson, then that’s an amazing story. Give the man another couple of years! what a guy4 points

Cut what losses? He cost us nothing, is a mainstay in the team and puts in a shift for us every week 🤷♂️4 points

A young 23 who gives his heart and soul to the club and I feel it sad so many supporters have written Tav off. I may have been critical of his goal tally and final decisions but I still saw a player in development worth investing. I don’t support those that have turned against him.4 points

If we are loaning out Payero for the rest of the season then send him to Celtic to calm them down. Not sure whether it would be easier for him to learn English in Scotland or Germany though?3 points

Like every player Boro wanted to sign who decided to go elsewhere - Bolasie for example when we wanted him under Pulis. Joe Bryan when he scarpered. Loads of players who are great signings until they might be going somewhere else and then they become rubbish, only to become good again if they end up here.3 points

Crooks didnt look interested when he came on Sat ,and was poor, as he been told something? I don't rate him more than your average Champ player and wouldn't be any use in the prem. We have a few like that ,ok but not special , Howson will go in this window I think , Ukhe, others on loan,3 points

@Denzel Zanzibar just watched Balogans interview with the club website. Very polite and good mannerd, sometimes you don't know with the youth players from top clubs what there attitude will be like but Flo seems pretty grounded which will benefit us.3 points

They are a far bigger club, and always will be, but they haven't even played Champions League football in 3 seasons. They get knocked out in qualifying most seasons.3 points

Hackney hasn't been in the squad the last two games after making a fleeting appearance on the bench a couple of weeks ago. He's not ready to start a game. I think it'll be mcnair in for ayling like you say but I reckon vdb starts at right back like early on in the season. The rest will be unchanged but with greenwood in for silvera. -
That sounds perfect to me, thanks.

Teacider has stuck a thread up if you just want to take it easy and do the next one when you're feeling better? -
If Dijksteel does not start this, then the writing really is on the wall for him, if its jot already anyway. I actually don't think he will start. I think Paddy will come in and we will change to a wing back system with Jones and Engel - which will say a lot about what MC thinks of Dijksteel in not trusting him at RB or as a 3rd CB (he played his best football there for us) Also would not be surprised to see Hackney replace Greenwood and plsy in an advanced role but rather Silveria or Gilbert there: Dieng Paddy VDB Clarke Jones Howson O'Brien Engel Silveria LL Azaz
