TeaCider24 12,646 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Classic local media. They're always full of ***. Clearly wasn't agreed last night, but they've got to get their clicks. Link to post Share on other sites

nunthorpered 1,922 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Changed my mind. 0 in 0 out 🙃 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
A21 106 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 There's a familiar ring to this. I'd like to revise my 4 in, 4 out prediction from earlier this morning Link to post Share on other sites

Whoppy 593 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I did say yesterday this is Boro, we have a fantastic record of disappointing on transfer deadline day! Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 966 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I think we'll bring one player in today and see a few go out on loan. Hoping for more, but Boro never have a good deadline day. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I still think Britt to Bristol City will happen. Britt will want his future secure given how awful Free Agents have found getting a deal during this pandemic. My predictions: OUT: Assombalonga (Bristol City) Wing (Preston) IN: Diedhiou (Bristol City) Phillips (Liverpool; Loan) Reckon we'll have some disappointment on the wings with both Grosicki and Hoilett falling through.

Mfcdanny 771 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I hope im wrong but ive never been confident that britt would leave this window Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,938 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Britt apparently 90% done. This was well underway on Friday. We need him to go to fund the West Brom winger - this was our no.1 choice but then looked like he might be staying as he was in and around the 1st team. Boro were alerted a few days ago this is now back on potentially. Terms have been agreed with the player but its based on Britt going. We are working hard to bring the striker in from Bristol City but there's an issue with fee. That's the latest I have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
uncle_rico 387 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Its the hope that kills you. I wouldn't be surprised to Britt leave on loan just to get him off the wage bill. What is the transfer that will kickstart the ripple effect? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 We won't want to spend all day negotiating Britt's departure without having a replacement ready to sign on the dotted line when it's done. The longer they leave it, the less chance he leaves. For what it's worth, I think Juke would be a good option for this side and if we can get a fee for Britt, his wages off the books and have someone more easily lined up as a temporary solution in his wake, I would be in favour of that. If Diedhou doesn't leave now and Britt signs for them, I can't see them agreeing any significant contract with him which could leave us open to signing him in the summer; alternatively, if his wage demands are still significantly higher than we want them to be, we can move on and do some work on an alternative in the summer with Juke to keep us going for a few months. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bolasie wasn't coming in originally and as such his wages were going elsewhere. Now he's here we have have shortfall meaning people need to ideally leave first before any incomings.

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm going to be negative this time as I always am optimistic and end up disappointed. My prediction. Wing to leave Young players go on loan. Assombalonga to leave at the very last minute but too late for us to sign off a new deal. We will explain that last minute complications stopped Diedhiou being completed. Due to working hard on completing this deal we take our eye of the ball and lose Grosicki deal. Then surprise last minute transfer is left until too late for it to be completed. I'm hoping this new mindset will see Boro prove me wrong 🙏. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
