Borodane 6,246 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ospina is wanted by Besiktas. He's someone I really wouldn't mind coming in to battle with Dimi. I think he has done relatively well when given the chance at ***nal, and surely we could compete with Besiktas. And at 27 he has a very good age and can still develop. A big plus that he knows the league after 2 years here. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Boro dismiss the Rhodes rumour. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jordan-rhodes-boro-rubbish-claims-11502500 Good news. He deserves his chance in the PL with us, if it wasn't for him and Ramirez I honestly believe we wouldn't have been promoted. I got on his back a few times but he did chip in with crucial goals. But I still think we'll sign another striker. Link to post Share on other sites

I said before that the list of reserve goalkeepers currently on the books at PL clubs contains some hidden gems, and none more so that him. Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah Ospina is a great shout. Don't know what wage he's on though. Link to post Share on other sites
Middlesborough 12 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm glad the Rhodes rumours have been dismissed and it also seems that Forshaw is staying considering the club just posted this article on the club website: http://bit.ly/28LH58g Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 There are no quotes in that Rhodes article so can we believe it? Also, how well did Tomlin do for us last season? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah Ospina is a great shout. Don't know what wage he's on though. Considering he came from Nice as a relatively unknown quantity I can't imagine his wages is more than we can match. If there is any truth behind this website he is on 40k. It seems the ***nal wages were revealed as a quick google comes up with the same list in several places http://crunchysports.com/money/***nal-player-salaries/ Link to post Share on other sites
Arskite 75 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ospina was top of my wishlist of signings after we got promoted. He is an excellent shot-stopper, and has been a great deputy to Cech when called upon. I would love, love him here. Link to post Share on other sites
BrightonBeliever 23 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Having been on NSC and seen that Rhodes was being made available, I was just going to post about it on here, but having just seen the replies above - damn! I'd be interested to see him at Prem level, but I could also see him being a massive player for us. Alas I think we'd have a good few clubs ahead of us in getting his sig anyway, but it's pretty epidemic now, as Del Boy would say. Link to post Share on other sites

BrightonBeliever 23 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Good to see you back BB, any interesting transfer news at Brighton? It's good to be back! Nothing of note at Brighton. A young centre back from Motherwell, but he'll go into the development squad to begin with. Re-signed the ageing Steve Sidwell for another year (was on loan last season but got him on a free). I'm more concerned with the bids for Lewis Dunk (everyone has their price, despite what the suits say), and the fact that Kayal and Stephens have a year left on their contracts, but haven't signed new ones yet. If we lose 2 of those 3, and don't get good replacements, it'll be a tough season.... Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that is a decent price for an international keeper with good experience. It'll be interesting to see who we bring in to battle with Dimi (if any at all). Surely 4 million would be well spent on someone like Ospina if we are indeed looking at keepers. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I can't see AK not recruiting a GK. I thought there were rumours over Sergio Asjenio?? Think we will loan out Ripley into champ for experience. Got to give Dimi a chance but any mistakes in the Prem usually cost you points. Week commencing July 10th it will kick off I think Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Wow these weeks are slow. I think you are right Smoggydownsouth that it'll be a few weeks before we see any major movement. Link to post Share on other sites
