Crouch is not a player that has been mentioned to me or who I believe we will sign. If I was a betting person then I would say Rhodes will join Boro just before Gayle. Lots of factors involved in these transfers, frustrating ... Absolutely.

Has Fry even got a squad number ? I think AK will either go with Stephens or put Friend there and play Husband at left back.

This gives you a flavour of what West Ham are getting... http://www.cityam.com/221813/west-hams-olympic-stadium-bargain-another-example-public-sectors-poor-planning-hitting

Any news on Gayle VB? Not at the moment, but I will be chasing an update once I've dealt with some bloody work related emails. And there was me thinking Friday's were part of the weekend. ?

Clear signs by both Karanka and Gibson that everything is going in the right direction and the confidence they have in each other. What brilliant news to read a few days before our opening game of the season. Now it would be nice if we can top that off by Karanka spending a bit more of the transfer kitty that Sir Steve has allocated him. Well done to Steve Gibson, Aitor Karanka , MFC and the fans.

Apparently it can't be called the Olympic Stadium, they are selling the naming rights which the tax payer gets a % of.

West Hams priorities are to stay in the Premier League then move in to their tax funded new stadium. Quite shocking reading how much of the tab the tax man is paying for the modifications to the stadium to make it suitable for them. £227 million paid by the tax man and £15 million by the owners of West Ham, plus other costs going forward will be funded by the tax payer.

I should have an update in the morning regarding Gayle.

Maybe.

Let's move on, hopefully we get one or two more deals sorted very quickly and the club continue to make quality signings.

Tbh I don't think the Gazette should be slated , it's good to have a bit of banter but I think they do a great job in general.

Also in fairness to the Gazette they will have spoken to MFC head of communications this morning asking about the Gayle link and normally they would simply deny it. Then a few hours later their reporter is in front of Karanka and asks the same question and AK is in a position to confirm our interest. It goes on in nearly all industries.

Cheers NB, for one moment this morning I thought I'd lost the plot and started hugging my knees and rocking myself.

Praise the Lord.

Really. Is he on 10 k or less. Hes dropped a bit since villa Knowing Blackpool he will have been on £460 a week. And a night with a model of Oystons choice.

I've got a lot of time for EG and inparticularly Anthony Vickers, I think they do a great job the majority of the time. Now on Saturday even before kick off it was highlighted to the EG on Twitter that Tomlin had left the stadium and they said they would ask the question post match which they did and AK told them it was due to a stomach bug. Now I knew that wasn't true even before they asked the question so how come the EG with all their connections didn't ? Or were they just towing the line? Again they published an article denying a bid had been made for Tomlin but I and others knew diffe

Patience is a virtue, just sit tight a bit longer and see what happens. Downsouth knows exactly where my information has come from and it is steps above just being credible.

Triffic news, triffic. Since it's a loan I think we'll be looking at making 1 further signing upfront. If we can get gayle in I'd be happy for us to look at the lower leagues for another striker. I agree with you. There are a few strikers that are worth taking a punt on.

No Mention of Murray but tbh I was only interested in Gayle, but if there was anything happening with Murray it would have been mentioned by the person I've been talking to. Let's get this over the line because my concern is other Southern clubs who are also interested in him haven't made a concrete offer for Gayle as yet. Hopefully he has had some positive conversations with Bamford about Boro.

Gayle deal to Boro is on but not signed as yet. Currently finalising a 12 month loan with option to buy at the end of the season. No timeline as yet when we are hoping for it to be concluded. Waiting for answers to some questions to get a clearer picture.

I found this morning and it's a great roundup from a fans perspective of their expectations and forecasts for this season. Most of the people interviewed expect Boro and Derby to be promoted. And strangely the Cardiff fan said Karanka will be the first manager sacked but we will still be promoted. Keep to grooming the lambs I say. https://notquitetopflight.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/sky-bet-championship-season-preview-201516/

What type of info are we expecting regarding Gayle? If it's happening, Timings , loan or permanent transfer. Are you still expecting the info tonight VB. Hard to say tbh, he said he would hopefully give me an update tonight. But he is away on business and out for dinner this evening. I won't be switching my phone off.
