Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 for all we know we've had offers accepted and are waiting for the selling club(s) to get replacements in..... but then again may be we haven't :dodgy: This is my thought at the moment. If it's the former, it'll likely mean someone big as we've strived to keep it so well under wraps. But it may be quiet because it really is quiet... Man I hope not. Don't forget the club said they want to get all their targets in before we sell anyone, and there's been no whisper of outgoings either - save Dimi to Forest which has gone quiet and the exiled Carayol. So we must be still looking to recruit? Right?! Kinda like that logic Gilburt Apt username :D There's a reason I chose that username A365! ;) Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm surprised the Gazette haven't got any updates on transfers, normally they release an article once in a while stating what positions we're still looking to strengthen and how far we are down the line with any remaining targets.

Borodane 6,246 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm surprised the Gazette haven't got any updates on transfers, normally they release an article once in a while stating what positions we're still looking to strengthen and how far we are down the line with any remaining targets. There was this sentence in an article about Forshaw earlier this week "Two weeks today, the Premier League transfer window will close. After 10 summer signings with more to follow, Boro are expected to make big decisions to trim their squad over the next fortnight." Either they know something or are just guessing. I think they know.

They seem convinced that there are more to follow and we've been told all summer that nobody will leave until we've completed all of our business so we could be in for a very busy last few weeks of the window. On players likely to leave, I think we'll keep hold of Nugent and Forshaw personally, with Reach, De Pena and 1 GK leaving either on loan or permanently. Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think the closer it gets to deadline day the more that clubs will be holding out for more. I think with the money going around there might be a few more panic buys than usual. Hopefully we're done by then and don't get caught up in it. Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Transfer Centre Live @TransferCentreL 2m2 minutes ago Everton have agreed a fee worth in the region of £9.5m with Lyon for winger Rachid Ghezzal. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Playing the waiting game may be the right thing to do we'll have our targets,players desperate to move and clubs desperate to sell will realise they've only got a couple of weeks to get business done.

pikerman 1,089 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yawnnnn! Nothing happening, not even any decent rumours, it is almost as if the world has stopped, roll on the end of the transfer window and we can all get on with our lives again and just watch the football.

Ayresome365 44 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I can only dream that with Everton being in for another winger, there's a chance Deulofue is available... Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of their key players and we wouldn't be able to afford him anyway, plus he'll have bigger aspirations than Boro Link to post Share on other sites

He's one of their key players and we wouldn't be able to afford him anyway, plus he'll have bigger aspirations than Boro He wasn't a key player in their entire second half of the season. Still don't think he is the kind of player that AK wants. He's good on the attack though. He can tear most fullbacks to pieces when on form. Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome365 44 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 AK has mentioned him personally on separate occasions. He coached him in the Spanish u23's didn't he? Link to post Share on other sites
