Tudders80 674 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 and I'm guessing, because we are nice old boro that we will be letting him go for less than market value, much less than we signed him For, and we are going to replace him with someone not as good but for the same price, if anyone at all. On the plus side we have had a great start and the balance sheet looks incredible!! :P Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The bit of hope i'm holding out for following the comment that we're not getting the players he wanted is Rafa Silva. He's been one that our scouts have looked at for a few years so hoping there's something in that. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not convinced it's Puncheon coming in then if TP said the players that will come in aren't his targets. What do you mean aren't his targets? Is that what he said. So we're going to sign players who the manager doesn't want? He said unfortunately he's not going to get the players he wanted but is happy for added competition. Link to post Share on other sites

He's been one that our scouts have looked at for a few years so hoping there's something in that. This was the first thought in my mind, isn't an obvious TP player so hopefully he is one that is coming in. Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,937 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't think we have enough loan spaces to cover all the gaps now. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pulis just out here throwing bombs, Jesus. We've gone from Ritchie one wing Bolasie the other at 15 million each and big wages to maybe Puncheon and I guess... Downing? Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 On Braithwaite I guess it’s clear he has been playing for a move.... or is that cynical of me? Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 54 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'd let Braithwaite leave if a few conditions are met first because he's a bit of a *** always requesting to go all the time. Don't understand why he bothered signing in the first place and I don't believe his problem is because we changed from Monk to Pulis. We get our money back. The £ is weak against the € so why should we be accepting less - they can pay what we paid for him initially. Also they can have him on loan but it has to be an obligation to buy in the summer at the latest. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I will say I really enjoy how open and honest TP is... can imagine top brass aren’t so pleased when he tells us we aren’t saying who he wanted however but fair play to the man Link to post Share on other sites
RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well there’s not a chance we’re going to have enough depth this season. Also, we’ve sold our 4 best players and, as it stands, adequately replaced 1 of them (2 if you want to be generous). Marvellous. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm guessing that Saville, Puncheon and a backup LB just became Saville, Puncheon and a winger because Pulis just said we lack pace in wide areas once again yet neither of the 2 we're strongly linked with have pace in wide areas.

Foogle 2,078 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Such a depressing transfer window. At least we should have enough money to challenge at the top end of the Championship for a few seasons... we must have pulled in £50m and spent just over £10m. Link to post Share on other sites
JB-boro-22 18 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm a little bit suprised people are shocked by braithwaite. TP made it clear in january he didn't want to be here and i don't see how his mind could of changed. Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Gotta say i, having actually watched the conference, dont think his comments were as downbeat as portrayed on here. He said a couple of deals were close Losing Braithwaite would be a blow though. Link to post Share on other sites
Nics 8 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 On Braithwaite I guess it’s clear he has been playing for a move.... or is that cynical of me? Cynical? Nah. But I think Braithwaite is being very professional about this. He's been playing well for us recently and he's not refusing to play or show poor attitude to force a move. It's still disappointing, but fair play to both Braithwaite and Pulis for being honest about the situation. And shame about Braithwaite wanting to move on. I'm guessing he hasn't settled too well on a personal and/or family level. His wife is French, maybe she's not into parmos. Link to post Share on other sites
