“West Ham made a late approach to hijack the deal for Middlesbrough forward Morgan Rogers to join Aston Villa in a £12.5million transfer, according to the Sunday People. The newspaper reported in their print edition [28 January, page 63] that the Hammers failed in a late move for Rogers, which has now cleared the path for him to join Villa.” taken from WestHamZone price is creeping up every time

Greenwood definitely got more confident as that half went on, he’s been asking for the ball all half but they haven’t been using him, like Engel. Appear not to be able to pass it to the left. We got better as the half went on, hopefully we build on it second half.

Nixon must’ve been pretty confident that we were going to sign Cannon because it sounds like he backed us to finish top 2 midweek based on getting him in @95/1. Shows how quickly things change even with insider knowledge

Sat next to a Hull fan…he’s not happy

I feel it’s more likely that we weren’t the ones that changed the goal posts but Cambuur/player were, so we backed off to either see if they back down or we find someone else or Coulson steps up. None of which has happened so we’ve went back. Just can’t see us wanting him, getting him for 650k then changing goal posts but deciding to go back in with even more money. Surely we’d just go back with the agreed price from before.

Transfer market has him as main position left back then left wing and then he’s played 3 U19 games and an U21 game at right wing. maybe it’s just because Coulson is going on loan so we have Engel and Bangura

Or maybe it’s not a smokescreen but we have just been outbid by Norwich and/or Sunderland…

The overlap didn’t really happen but Engel was making good runs forward and finding space he just wasn’t being used as much as he probably should have been. It kept going through the middle. I think that’s because silvera and forss both kept coming inside for the ball. Didn’t really notice Rav getting forward much though.

Definitely a better performance. Should have won, just a bit more composure from the front 4 and it could have been comfortable. Hopefully that’ll come. Really like the look of both Engel and Latte Lath. And whilst I think we need a RB, Rav looked better there today than he has previously.

Boro twitter headline does say undisclosed edit: so does Boro statement in red at the top

Yes official site 😂

Boro said undisclosed, Ajax didn’t get the memo “Ajax will pay a transfer fee of € 12.3 million to Middlesbrough F.C. This amount can increase to € 14.3 million through variables”

I like Crooks and he is useful against certain teams but he should not be starting. How he stayed on as long as he did is mind boggling I just don’t understand where that confidence in our play has gone. 2/3 easy chances wasted.

Social Media stalking…Lukas Engels partner follows Boro on Instagram

Just signed for Antalyaspor 🥳

Looks like nothing close with McNair if he’s starting

Anyone know if you can just park in the Morrisons car park next to ground tonight?

#SAFC on Twitter is funny

No tweet about Folarin or business being done, is there still hope? Or do we not normally do the round up article for a while? Folarin is on the website though.

Missed training with Groningen because he was training with Boro 😉

Is it just me that’s waiting for @diggerlad07 to come back and say “sorry I forgot to put 👀”?🤪

Didn’t someone post on behalf of Juninho that a Sheff United striker was at Rockliffe. Watch a lot of them and mcgoldrick of a couple of seasons ago, definitely but he hardly played last season and is 34 now.

His contract isn’t up until the end of the month, so we might have a while to wait before the official announcement.
