  1. This is a strange thing to be concerned about at this point. If Agnew is a good number 2, which it seems he has been, and is quite popular with the players and staff in this role, you wouldn't want to keep him based on the risk of him being given the interim job when our next manager, which we don't even have yet, gets sacked? Don't get this obsession with 'getting him out the club'. It seems he isn't made for being a head coach, and im certainly not advocating him for this role, but he's clearly a popular and uniting figure within the club, why not keep him as a number 2? The problem
  2. Why did he get sacked at swansea? Can't remember what happened. Monk lost the players after it became apparent that a member of the board had been sleeping with Nathan Dyers Wife/GF , monk was told to take the side of the board and then lost the players. That's come from a Swansea fan.
  3. As KM said it's a no brainer.. with the 48million parachute payments and the revenue to be generated from De Roon Traore the Snake and Negredos wages I would say we are looking upward 30mil there. I'm no way in the know but the reason I have been told Gibbo might stay is guaranteed football week in week out , club captain etc... he doesn't see the benefit of leaving if he isn't gonna pay football or is joining a struggling team... think if top 6 team come in strong for him he will go...i have been looking at it and not entirely sure he would start in top 6 teams as a given. City with Stones an
  4. Agree with this and unfortunately there are a few more I shudder at the thought of seeing in a boro shirt next season Barragan Bernardo Gestede I maybe being over critical but how we have accumulated so much deadwood in a season baffles me... can see recruitment under going major overhaul!
  5. This twitter noise a bout Giggs... people think there is legs in it or just white noise?
  6. M***ille are definately keen on him if they get priced out of Mandanda according to French press a few weeks ago
  7. 30mil is set price I would think... English , young , international albeit 1 cap... pretty sure the reason the story came out last night was because the club are hoping for a bidding war
  8. I don't see the logic of any deal affecting our January window. The club is a more attractive option to any potential buyer if it's in the premier league, why jeopardise our premier league status, and therefore the value of the club, by failing to recruit suitable players in January? I agree but as we all know and was plain to see there was a huge failure in January and it seemed that the club was protecting finances even though they outlayed 15million ultimately a large proportion of that would be paid off with the Rhodes money we will receive. The attraction of a premier league club is
  9. Lol I was told Klinsmann on the weekend as well and the discussion of the takeover took place on the weekend of the home game against Swansea which if true would understand the change of heart in the Jan transfer window... like i said all rumours
  10. Some fans think he'll stay even if we are relegated. Absolutely no chance, he deserves to stay in the Prem and no matter how much he loves his hometown club he'll rightly consider his own career first. Good luck to the lad. I don't think anyone thinks he'll stay. A few hope he will stay, which is a different thing entirely. He will probably go, of course, but he wouldn't be the first player to stick out a season in the Championship to see if he can help his club get back up. I think he will be told to leave even if he wanted to stay... A for the good of his career and B because t
  11. I don't see why we'd let Clayton or De Roon go, especially not for the amounts mentioned, same with Fabio for me. Valdes would only go if we got a fee in my opinion. Traore is a strange one for me, I'm sure there will be interest in the summer as he has definitely come on this season but I'd do what we can to keep him as he could be deadly in the championship. Everyone else I agree with, if the rumour about Bernardo is true then he could be worth keeping as long as he shakes off the injury. I'm 99% sure De Roon has a relegation release clause as does Valdes... if a prem club comes in for
  12. I would like to think that SG has already began indentifying managers. Our recruitment in the summer and Jan was poor in my opinion... Orta would be gone if it were me and our scouting network needs a major focus shift!! Managers decide what players they want unless it's a youngster with potential!! Then we look at the playing squad... Valdes won't stay , shame but I think we will put Ripley between the sticks! Barragan Bernardo Chanbers Gibson all out and possibly Fabio... rebuild job of the back 4 vital. We will struggle to hold on to Clayton and De Roon and Leadbitter out of contract I beli
  13. Great thread let's hope the next one is more fruitful and our premiership status is in tact!! Stick together boro fans and we shall always overcome.
  14. Fair point CT feel rather deflated at present
  15. Agreed. But I don't think Guedioura or Ince would improve us. Like I mentioned, I don't know much about Rodriguez, but a lot of you folks rate him, so I suppose he could improve the team. Was there any truth to the Muniain link, or was that just hope? I think it was hope mate. Just people putting names out there. Yeah it was just hope as our scouts watched them at the weekend. Your contact still on annual leave mate?
  16. Would love a half time reveal tonight... a quality player who galvanises the fans and the team for the remainder of the season.... perfect oppurtunity for all at the club to come together... sadly I think we are past that stage.
  17. Tom Ince ohh dear lord... positive note he won't have to travel far as he is still firmly in George's back pocket!
  18. Did that message happen to also say we have Bid for A accepted and a bid for B accepted... total outlay 50million.... one can dream
  19. All very quiet on incomings today... Aitor been at Rockcliffe since 8am. Wonder if he is having a meeting with the boss?!
