2plus2 290 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If there are players going the other way that would be great (depending on who it is of course) as our squad is still far too big (even before additional signings) for AK's liking (ie. two for each position). Realistically would be happy to see either Hines, Halliday or Main go on permanents, or Burgess there on loan. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,652 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 From AV: That leaves a right-back and a No 10 to sign. My understanding is that Boro are currently working on options for both those positions and they expect movement on several fronts next week. One is said to be “very close.” Of course, I’ve been saying that for a week. But that is what I am being told from within the club and I have no reason to disbelieve that. The Kike deal was a similar long drawn out process of haggling and cross-border fine-tuning . It is more important that Boro get their signing done correctly than quickly.

No mention of a CM (Clayton) then. Maybe that deals dead now unless we plan on revisiting it later in the window. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,652 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 @JimmyDRFC: Not sure how much he is involved for #Boro and whether he would come but I'd like Lee Tomlin to be apart of the Husband deal #DRFC :D From AV: That leaves a right-back and a No 10 to sign.

Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (Sorry if I've already posted this - data is being dodgy in my iPad!) Still reckon Friend is going to be utilised in a more offensive role down the left to cover Carayol's absence. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd imagine Husband would be used in the more attacking role, but would provide cover for Friend when he goes walkabout Link to post Share on other sites

robbieboro 80 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I want too know this number 10!!! We know it's not JV as AV said on twitter if that was to happen it would be likely to be a deadline day move . It's a shame we couldn't have got juanfran in a few week ago when it looked likely then we would have really been set to go except for a number 10 plus he seemed a really good player , shame really . But I have faith and I think we will have a strong squad this year I mean for CB we have Gibson omeruo Ayala woody , Rhys can play there . Now everyone of them 5 would get in 90% of the teams in this league . And we have 5 of them . Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Friend will most likely be sold now, especially is Swansea are interested in signing him. Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Friend will most likely be sold now, especially is Swansea are interested in signing him. I would say there's an outside chance Friend will be sold, but only if a big bid comes in. £3m+, at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,652 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I took a wild guess on here that Halliday and Main could be going in the opposite direction. Somehow that has managed to get on Twitter and now the Doncaster Rovers forum. It feels great starting my own rumour :D Link to post Share on other sites
