northern boro 449 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 @TEAMtalk #MFC set to smash club record for Assombalonga in £14m deal - and also agree £8.8m deal for Braithwaite. http://www.teamtalk.com/news/middlesbrough-to-sign-8-8m-denmark-striker-linked-to-west-ham … Nottingham due back on Friday from Florida Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,449 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Braithwaite Graeme Bailey saying Braithwaite and Assomablonga likely to cost £25m. Add that to our £6m on Howson and £2.5m on Christie we're well on our way to eclipsing £40m with more signings still to come. Still think there'll be significant outgoings though to help balance the books a little bit. Bernado, Fischer, De Sart, Husband and Barragan have covered Howson and Christie, Braithwaite is the first actual expenditure. Just selling De Roon will keep our net spend well below 20m Doesn't Rhodes cover Braithwaite? Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 640 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I think De Roon is as good as gone, personally. Can't see any other reason why he wouldn't have played yesterday unless he's carrying a knock. My guess is that Fiorentina (linked the other day I think) have come in with a bid matching our valuation in the last day or 2, which has allowed us to move along with the Braithwaite and Assombalonga deals. As much as I really grew to like De Roon last season, if selling him funds moves for Braithwaite and Assombalonga I'll be happy enough. We now have plenty of cover for centre midfield with Clayton, Howson, Forshaw, Leadbitter and Guedioura. And to be honest if I was to choose the best pairing, including De Roon, I'd be playing Clayton and Howson ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 640 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Also think we will see either Stuani or Gestede go. My guess would be Stuani. I think Gestede would be a better option to have off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

carltonkid 14 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Forest fan I know reckons Burnley about to drop 20m on Assombalonga. Not sure how reliable but a heads up not to get hopes up if that's true. This might explain Braithwaite happening very suddenly too. no way Burnley will offer 20 mill when they would get him for 15 mill. Link to post Share on other sites
Teacider 108 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It tends to be if transfers drag on a long time the less likely that they happen - seems to be the case with Assombalonga - the longer it goes on the less likely it feels like it will happen. But impressed with our business so far anyway, seem like we are working in a good way and are getting some main targets in with plenty of time to get to know squad and settle in. So far so good... more of the same please! Link to post Share on other sites
