So if the Gazette and Echo have both been told Nypan, Hansen and Hamilton will go if possible, I think we have room for a few incomings.

I guess even though we are scoring for fun again at the moment, a striker will be top of the list. Is a right back next on the list? A proper wide right player as top class cover for Whittaker?

It could be an exciting and season defining week and a bit. Chris Jones has a lot on his shoulders to pull all this off. Gibson's chequebook is going to take a battering I suspect.

With how we are playing at the moment it's difficult to see us losing, but we will have tough games. Having those options to come in is going to be vital.

I'm excited to see how it all pans out.

I bet Cov and Ipswich will be looking to see how far we push the boat out. Our team by the time we play Coventry could be a bit special.

Brittain back now and Browne more than capable at RB so can’t see us going for one.

If anymore additions after Sarmiento it’ll be at the top of the pitch. Players will need to leave though because we are stacked at the moment;

Conway, Strelec, Sene, Mcgree, Casteldine, Burgzorg, Whittaker, Hansen, Hamilton, Nypan, Gilbert, Silvera and soon to be Sarmiento - that’s 13 players for 4 spots as it stands (although Gilbert and Nypan can play deeper)

I think a top striker and a CB on loan that can do a job if needed and we’ll win the league

Hellberg’s too good

I forgot about Sarmiento. Will him, McGree and Leo be alternating in the middle and on the left I wonder? Depends on formation I guess.

Apparently a bunch of champ clubs are after some Scottish CB plays for Dundee fc. Seems a type we’d look at

Do you work as a scout @Simply Red ?

2008 - 2014 Boro academy scout under Ron , left when he did , had contact with GG and Reccomended players for years on a weekly basis pre transfer windows , GG left , then Reccomended to KS until a year ago .

Ladesma my 1st to Ron on a free

Mowatt / Batth /,Christie / ( no money then )

Sporar / McGree / Sene my suggestions

Morgan Rogers the big one , saw him playing for Lincoln and Reccomended him instantly.

Ones they didn’t go for

James McCarthy £1m , James Mcarthur £1m

Joelinton £7m Cunha £7m Callum Wilson £2m Ollie Watkins £2m

Endless , loads more .

No contact with recruitment now , shame as now is when they need it with KS being out .

Let’s hope they can get a couple of top players to get us over the line .

Conway has got 12, 12, 13 goals in the last 3 seasons. Hellberg keeps playing him and telling us how important he is to the team, maybe we just trust the manager here? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Conway goes and gets 10 goals between now and the end of the season and matches his average. 

3 down 7 to go 😉

I was more getting at the point of being relegated from the premier league doesn’t automatically make you financially dominant or even secure.

You're quite an unpleasant person aren't you? What's so difficult to believe that he's been a scout? I've met a couple of scouts, and one of them worked as a taxi driver as well, it's not like it's a special profession. Anyone can do it really, you just need the opportunity to do it, which usually comes via some kind of contact/relationship with someone working at a football club. There must be thousands and thousands of scouts around the world so why is it difficult to believe one might post on here?

People are weird, instead of engaging the just refuse to believe anything which makes them think their smart but actually just makes them not interesting to talk to
