oldman 155 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If we dont send out the message to our top players that promotion is our aim, then they will leave anyway. The best players want to play in the best leagues. Tav is from Leeds, McNair from NI and Spence is from London. None are Boro through and through. We have to go for it.

I had seen them teams were interested but nothing about big money offers It's been reported over the weekend that several top flight clubs are interested, so we are bound to get offers for him. Whether they are good enough remains to be seen. Personally I think we should point toward the James Maddison transfer a few years ago that nettet Norwich more than 20 million. He also hadn't played in the Premier League and was about the same age. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Strong rumour that Everton are prepping bids for tav and Spence Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It’s been reported on a few sites about interest so not a big stretch to go from that to “bids” or “bids incoming”. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of our ‘bigger’ players left this window but suspect it will be Spence. Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,922 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Can't see any of them leaving this window 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,479 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Surely the fee it would take to make us interested in selling tav would be huge. Cant see it happening. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 953 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I would probably sell IF it’s a huge fee and a loan back for remainder of season. Unfortunately have to think about club finances at this time. But he has massive potential so shouldn’t go cheap Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I would sell Spence, but keep Tavernier. Depending on the fee for Spence. Link to post Share on other sites
Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'd sell Spence for any remotely significant sum. He's not good enough for this level. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 What makes a rumour strong? Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,490 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I would take £15m for both. Whether anyone offers that is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If the player wants to go it’s hard to keep them regardless of transfer fees/contract length etc. And if a premier league does come in it will be nigh on impossible to turn it down. I wonder, with the rumour of Reach interest is with a view to replace Tav 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you mean £15m each player ? Tav £15m , Spence £6m -£8mI would guess at . If the skunks want Spence , swap him for Gayle , although Gayle s salary would be the issue .
