Roberts is the only remotely exciting player to wear a Boro shirt since Adama 

I’d have to say Spence, Tav and Coulson are all at least remotely exciting.

Having missed out on Kieffer Moore, who joined Cardiff City last week, Warnock has been back in touch with the administrators running Wigan Athletic to discuss a move for the Latics’ £2.5m-rated midfielder Joe Williams.

That's from the echo, who also say we only offered a 12 month deal to Friend on severely reduced terms which we all suspected other than that nothing new.

I still wonder if there was anything in that link from the Barnsley forum mentioning us after Woodrow?

Murphy is a right footed wide man who tends to play on left and cut in. Can also play on right hand side.

Roberts is a left footed wide man who tends to plays on right and cut in. He can also play no.10.

Them two together would compliment each other very well imo

Murphy made 39 appearances this season and not one of them was on the left?

Good players but not at Robert's level for me. Tav looks great sometimes, he could get there.

He might be thinking about the wrong Murphy, isn't the other one a LW?

If anyone can get the wrong Murphy it will be Boro 🙄

Sunderland once signed the wrong striker because he had the same name.

We're not offering the money to attract players over other clubs as we have done in the past either which won't help.

Except for Moore where it seems like we did offer the right kind of money to get him but he chose Cardiff anyway.  I wonder what we offered to him in the end?

[TLF10 4,496]

@Neverbefore apologies I have got totally the wrong Murphy brother. As @Brunners has kindly pointed out it is the Cardiff one that tends to play on left and cut in.

Dykes not in Livingston squad V rangers today after QPR agreed £2m fee for him. I dont think we were in for him this summer but certainly seems to have been someone we checked out under Woodgates regime.

I think QPR got some money from pending sales of Samuel and Eze. Former I read was off to belgium for about 4m. The latter was subject of 12m bid from Palace but QPR want closer to 20m. If them two sales go ahead I expect QPR might find the extra 200-300k for Goode too.
