DevKWat 2,371 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Apparently he will also play LWB which I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to do, odd all round Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We've been very good at selling players for years. Fingers crossed there's more than meets the eye to this fee. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Negative KM is back. 😠 What on earth are we doing selling our best player three days before the season starts? I really don’t get the logic behind this at all. By the sounds of it he was not pushing for a transfer so if we were prepared to sell him we should have held out for more than that pathetic sum. If we don’t spend big in this transfer window now then I honestly don’t get what the thinking is behind this? Best of luck to Tav who has been a proper top professional at Boro, going to miss ya. 🥺 Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,035 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Side note but now we've sold Tav and Spence for 25m+ I'm underwhelmed with Prem loans potentially being our big marquee striker signings Spending big on loan fees is just burning the money 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Teemo 41 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 There's no way we're selling him now for £12m Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce 1,565 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I think, looking in and based on Wilder's comments that this maybe Scott's decision. McGree was clearly bought in to play LCM and, arguably, this is the peak value we will get for Tav as his contract runs down. I suspect that if we had wanted to keep Tav and offered him a suitable pay rise he would have stayed but if we're serious about selling players when they bring in the best value then we're swapping Tav for McGree and pocketing about £10m. Not in ITK, just piecing together the pieces. If the Garner rumours have any substance then this allows us to, potentially, upgrade Howson with Garner. It also presumably means that Forss is done all bar the press conference. Personally, I think it's a mistake but that's a judgement call and, let's face it, we appointed Scott to look at the big picture and make those calls. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,484 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 So that's a minimum of 25 mil or so for two players we've brought through the youth system (sort of). The kicker now is if we can actually reinvest and make the overall squad better. Time for Scott & co to show their worth. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 How on earth we selling Tavernier for less than Spence that's disgraceful business he's worth 15 million plus we can't even sign Gyökeres for that 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Time for Scott & co to show their worth. 100% and not just in the loan market, short-term thinking demands short-term success. If we blow our load on big loan signings, the pressure on us to go up goes through the bloody roof. I hope we reinvest this smartly and make our side look better for the long-term rather than the short. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Not putting his hands in his pocket? He been bankrolling this club for years out his own pocket so dont think he needs to be told by self entitled fans who are having a tantrum over a transfer fee to start doing something he done for years. Question his decision making but ridiculous to question his financial commitment. 13 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
