    up up and away!!
  1. Will be Dael Fry if anyone I would have thought, 🤞🏻 we keep him though.
  2. I've read that Steve Gibson should be advised not to attend the game, and some Boro fans supporting that, I think we as Boro fans should protect Mr Gibson and make him feel most welcome in his own home
  3. Would anyone take karanka as Woody's dof? Might sound like mission Impossible, karanka bought wisely when he was allowed to and would be on hand to offer coaching advice.
  4. Karanka's becoming more and more of an appealing option!
  5. Stendel into 8s, everyone else has drifted slightly
  6. Humpty, spot on imo regarding Gibsons contract situation, he signed a 5yr last summer, which will have taken into account his status at the time, he'd played 100 times for us, was one of our biggest assets, young player with most potential, was on the fringes of the national team. Although he proved he's premiership quality, personally I don't think he's done much in the last year other than raise his profile to outsiders, everybody associated with the club knew then how good he was/is and that he would make the step up to premier league level, so it came as no surprise, a 5 year deal when sig
  7. He was out for 2 months with a calf injury and has had hamstring problems too
  8. It's noticeable that he doesn't say 'if the club sign a striker', but names Assombalonga specifically. I get the feeling it might be quite close. If we sign him it will be a record transfer fee... was chatting with some boro fans at York yesterday and we will be paying 16mil to get him... apparently His injury record is a big concern for me, no doubting his ability but 69 games (league and cup) in 3 full championship seasons isn't good, it makes him a big risk imo, and a risk that intensifies as his banded figure/fee increases.
  9. NEWS: Middlesbrough show interest in signing defender from Championship rivals Reading #UTB #ReadingFC Link http://the72.co.uk/85938/middlesbrough-track-reading-defender/
  10. Does anyone think it could be a tactic to sell first and get best market price on outgoing players rather than overloading the squad and having to settle for lower fees and/or risk being left with unwanted wage bills?
  11. Not even sure he has returned to pre season... don't know anything regarding it but he is usually very active on social Media and is quiet and never spotted him or CDP who I know has been told to actively find a new club The club were raving about him around the time of his signing, building the anticipation by making it known that he'd turned down an huge pay rise that would have made him the highest earner in Sporting Gijon's history, while acknowledging he was still recovering from his ACL. Bit of a strange one, must have been highly regarded at his previous club so has to be too so
  12. Look like your having a good ole chinwag to yourself there pal, you alright? :)
  13. Apparently we've got back nearly all of what we paid for him, not heard an exact figure as yet.
  14. Not in the Championship. In the Championship, Ramirez promoted us. I think that's a slight exaggeration, fabbrini more than played his part in the first half of the season.
