  1. Haha I was thinking the same when I seen the youtube highlight link... I'm not watching that getting excited about a signing that wont happen again! However after that 'story', I'm going to watch it now and invest in the emotional rollercoaster.
  2. Fully agree with this, although we need to make sure the quality is good enough not just to rise 1 place but to then actually go on and win the next 3 games for it to be meaningful, otherwise we fizzle out with a lackluster attempt like under Pulis. I think we have done that also for the first 2 and all these latest's forward links give me confidence that we are looking at the right people to make it a big step up in quality and/or potential from last season.
  3. People on here really know how to spoil a good surprise transfer link lately. 🙄
  4. Do we think though that Tav could have had a better season this year attacking wise now that he wouldn't have had to cover that space ? So I can see both IMO, yes he might not be as missed as people are thinking but his potential could have been even better... Who knows. We certainly won't find that out if they do play him LWB instead.
  5. I like that Forss & Muniz seemingly want to come here and are leaving the London area for the opportunity to play which is reassuring. Obviously Armstrong is keen as well but he has the family influence.
  6. Sorry probably already been said but I seen they rejected the offer from Southampton… I didn’t see City prefer a Championship loan. believe Burnley are currently linked 😯
  7. Unless Tav is actually pushing strongly for a move.... Don't believe so but reduces options. I do agree with your last post though, if things were close then I don't think Tav would have featured as much yesterday. I also didn't really read into his post match interview the way others have, don't really think he was that wound up and don't really think he made any intimations of any potential leavers. He just said a few times, happy Spence has been complete and now they all are aligned to focus on the reinforcements needed to compliment this strong team that he suggested would do ok this
  8. We could probably discuss the good & bad points of this deal for weeks but the truth is we will never know what we managed to leverage, and what Spurs held firm on. Even the point Gibson might have wanted a higher 1st installment so we have more funds available now... who knows. I could understand the extra scrutiny if this was a deal on a prize asset, Tav/Fry for example but it's not..... It's good the business is nearly done, its good we have made a massive profit, it's good that we have shipped a player out that doesn't weaken our team from last season so lets be more optimistic t
  9. So do we for our potential buy negotiations. Win-win except for the fans that believe everything they read! We might have wanted a lower upfront fee amount released with easy add-ons so others don't know the extra funds.
  10. It's easy to get deflated and have the feeling that this is yet another typical Boro transfer window however, the hope/difference for me so far is that our supposed striker links haven't gone to other clubs.... yet. So while there is still a chance there is still a lot of hope imo and things can come to life very quickly.
  11. Out of interest what you would you prefer, complete silence while everyone sits patiently pressing F5 for the latest small snippet of transfer news?
  12. Tbf all the training range looks great/better!
  13. I’m not itk by any means but today a friend of a friend who works in finance related to the club has mentioned we are still in for both Darlow and Gayle with a good chance of it happening. Trying to sort details out but nothing will be said until after contracts have finished end of the month. 🤷‍♂️ just passing on.
  14. I can’t remember when we have been this ‘lucky’ with a player sale. As others have said big money for a player that hasn’t been in our plans for all of last season and I’m sure he went to Forest on deadline day last minute which could be why they never negotiated a loan to buy agreement at a much lower price! Also not forgetting that we were able to pull more revenue in January by loosely threatening to recall him. it really is mad luck how much we have made from this player in the last 12 months and could even get better if he pushes on at Spurs.
  15. Ian Wright just commenting that Boro must be doing unbelievable if Spence can’t get in the team and has to be loaned out to Forest 🤦
  16. See the Southampton V Newcastle game has now been called off for Sunday. Typical we would have to struggle if we want it off.
  17. Wonder when they will actually confirm. I have train tickets that apparently if cancel before 6pm Friday we will get a voucher refund. Can see it dragging out and being a late call from the EFL 😔
  18. Seen that Kevin Blackwell was straight over to Bannan for a chat after the game followed by Warnock who stopped him for a decent length. Could be someone we are interested in unless there is a previous connection to the extent they seemed to be talking and focused.
  19. I’m equally as gutted with this and past failings point in the direction of our club to blame but I don’t think we can 100% say it just yet until possibly Warnock speaks next. Reading Everton forum they are adamant it will likely have something to do with him or the club rather than us.... They equally hammering him for always appearing to have the right face on social media. Think personally I’ll hang fire before being annoyed with MFC on this transfer. Before this morning I honestly thought under the current climate and the speeches Gibson has been making regarding the bailout, our bus
  20. 😂 ... but in truth if it was last minute and Bolasie was still in Everton then meby, just hopefully meby the delay could be him racing to us for a socially distanced picture 😬
  21. If they believe they got everything submitted before 5pm and agreed terms how can it be taking this long for the green light 😞
