Yeah the eze thing became a bit of a meme but I wasn’t expecting or even wanting ‘big names’ or for us to throw money about. I just wanted us to have a front 3/4 you could look at and think yeah that’s gonna cause anyone problems. big ask though for a finically crippled club, how many teams in the league have a front 3 like that? no many.

DS...in less than two weeks, he can see his hero.....tell him that you can't make it Saturday because you've been naughty Ha ha in less than 2 weeks he will have a new favourite Boro player. Why Shotton then I guess only he knows, certainly not encouraged by his father or myself. I think it possibly was due to his different hairstyle more than anything! Link to post Share on other sites

For me, this has been a far better window than expected. We finally have natural right back for the first time in 3 or 4 years. We have a fast left back, a new left winger, there are opportunities for youth and young players to shine, we have got rid of some high earners and we have (so far) kept some key players. Are you Ron who posts on the gazette or are you old man Ron from twitter or are you some Ron I don't even know about lol Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really think the club were actively pursuing these deals without knowing there would be a fee attached to them? *** hell you have to argue everything don't you. Yes they knew there would be loan fees. No they didn't know they'd be so much. They've been priced out of players, *** happens. Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the way the rest of the league is preparing for this year, they're preparing for a fight at the top. The way we did 2 years ago. They're preparing for a promotion hunt. No matter what Woody or Keane say, the club as a whole is not preparing for that. They've asked for patience for a reason; they don't expect promotion this season. Now if say we come to January and we're in and around the top 6 with one or two clear problem positions, we might be more open to dealing on the loan front. We'll have half a fee to pay and we'll have justification to throw a bit of money in if needs be. I think that's how this season is going to go. I think Woody needs to prove the concept works, he needs a few months to show what his team can do as is. Loans aren't what we need to do that. If it's working by January, he'll get some backing. Didn’t woodgate literally say promotion was his aim? ? Link to post Share on other sites

Excited to see Browne this season. Fletcher on the wing though just pains me. It could work if the LB bombs forward and is effectively our winger. But for me Fletcher is so much better central, round pegs in square holes...again Link to post Share on other sites

You would have thought loan fees to some extent would have been initially discussed prior to any serious interest/showing around the club. I think we had the funds for 1 decent loan singing it's just our first choices have gone elsewhere and we aren't (for once & good reason) prepared to panic and get someone else in.
