Summer Transfer Thread, (Closes 8pm tonight)

Personally think that we should be targeting players for loan or purchase who are on the fringes of clubs like Chelsea ***nal spurs liverpool, spurs have sold on a few good midfielders recently for what Norwich allegedly want for a guy entering his last year and with no resale value. Targeting players like Loftus- Cheek would excite me far more.

Alex smithies at qpr would be a good addition if we're looking for new keeper

Interesting bit in Tallentire's article about our attacking midfield options. When talking about Stuani, he says:

 

Boro already have Patrick Bamford and Rudy Gestede pushing for a place in attack and if the club are successful in signing Britt Assombalonga, competition for places will be even more cut throat.

 

It's noticeable that he doesn't say 'if the club sign a striker', but names Assombalonga specifically. I get the feeling it might be quite close.

I'd be very happy with Gunter and Fabio as our 2 RBs

If we sign him it will be a record transfer fee... was chatting with some boro fans at York yesterday and we will be paying 16mil to get him... apparently

I like Gunter. Very underrated. Would have had him over Barragan in the Premier League.

Yep I would be happy with Gunter

We were linked with Gunter last summer so there is probably some truth in this one

[Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 925]

Is Gunter a right back?

Yeah

[Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 925]

Cool, very experienced as well.

Regarding smashing our record for Assombalonga thats fine by me as long as we get the players to create the chances. Id like us to be able to score more than one goal .

Gary gill always used to gush about Gunter when he did the BBC tees commentary

[Snowblind 1,003]

Yet another well established and experienced Championship player linked. Encouraging signs indeed!

[BlackTreacle 5]

Howson, Gunter and Assombalonga would all be great additions. Ontop of those three we'd still need a CB potentially a LB and a couple of wingers. Promising signs
