Summer Transfer Window 2018.

[Lurker 2,118]

We'll be alright.

 

We're top of the league FFS.

[Boro Badger 87]

If it comes down to the agent asking for too much, it will not be the first time Steve Gibson says no. I can stand by that.

 

I'm still disappointed we've brought nobody in though.

 

If we’d have moved at the right time, there would have been no surprises at the last minute with agent fees. I’m not convinced we went all out to make the deal happen.

That's the spirit!  :fist:

[Downsouth 6,328]

Well all we can hope for is that the current players can perform well during August and make us look an attractive option for any potential loan players considering joining us.

 

Whatever happened with Ojo and a few others mentioned earlier on?

 

To be honest with what has taken place today I really do not see Besic coming here on loan an would not be at all surprised to see him at Leeds shortly.

 

Balasie according to Everton was going nowhere unless it was on a permanent I wonder if they will do a u turn now considering the incomings they have signed today

Move early and the asking prices are too high.

This. And how do we not have an idea of fees when we had him here on loan. Baffled.

I never said I did. In fact, I said quite the opposite. I stand by not being rinsed by agents, it's the way Steve does his business and frankly I'm fine with that.

 

I'm not standing by the club's decision to do business late if this is the state it leaves us in from September onwards.

[smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490]

We can still sign Cattermole and Rodwell.

 

The midfield is not a real problem area in my opinion, let’s not make it one.

But with Ayala back to fitness who is going to cover the treatment room positions?

[Boro Badger 87]

BORO have become a fur coat no knickers club.

 

Quote of the day! But what does it mean?!

Yeah but is it?  Look over all of our transfer activity the last few years, you really think a fair few quid hasn't found it's way to some agents?

 

If the agents fee was an issue I'm surprised we didn't just move to take him on loan but then there was apparently some disagreement between ourselves and Everton over how much each of us was going to contribute if it was a loan?  Presumably it would be a lower amount than if we'd actually bought him but what would I know  :)

Boro's social media team after posting the Ripley news....

 

 

[BoroYorkie 94]

So if we get Besic on loan we can’t go for both Martina & Bolasie... is that right? The number of loans thing is confusing me

[Jamie-H 1,322]

I know it sounds crazy but I'm not entirely confident that the club will match Bolasie's 70k wages which I'd presume Everton would want yet alone what Bolasie actually saying yes I'll drop down. It's fine though the Sheyi Ojo we chased all summer last year with a young manager Monk who was desperate to have him and build around him will love the idea of joining us over our rivals we're an attractive proposition. I just think we've wasted our best chance to kick on here we aren't getting anyone permanent through the door and we aren't getting players that would do a better job than the people we just bid for it's just a depressing state of affairs.

Quote of the day! But what does it mean?!

 

Having a superficially positive appearance that is belied by the reality, e.g., superficially elegant and beautiful but actually common.

Seemed like Liverpool wanted £15m for Ojo and nobody was going anywhere near that. Looks like he's going on loan. 

 

Everton wanted Bolasie gone permanently as they wanted the fee and wouldn't loan to Prem clubs. Think we'll have a good chance for him now. 

 

Do the Premier League squads get finalised tomorrow or is that still the end of August as that will show who's definitely available. Everton's squad is massive now.
