DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 They’ve already spent £12m on defenders this summer. Depressing that we are having players stolen by the likes of Bristol City... Link to post Share on other sites

I could tell you about a deal where the medical was done... player was due to sign the contract at 4pm but at 4:30pm was being pictured holding another shirt... but I digress.

Pretty similar to us, but closer to home Well I mean Holland is just a hop skip and a jump from Middlesbrough so I'd say we are closer to home... Link to post Share on other sites
Naisby 736 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Sadly people get emotional when they mistakenly take rumours and snippets of information as solid stone cold facts, as others have said things change sometimes for the good sometimes not but that’s life. not choosing to come to boro cos and equal or better deal is offered to them is life, unless I had an emotional attachment to a club if I was a player then the best deal or locale for me would win every time. to the Folks with possible info, please keep sharing it tho, as it shows what might be to the rest of us, not always what will be... 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Bristol City are in a superior position financially and if Dijksteel chooses them then money may well have played a big part in it. Link to post Share on other sites
CWC 383 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Worth noting that Charlton are after Matty Taylor as well, the Bristol forward so that could work massively in their favour. Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly yes. We're operating under a strict budget this season and obviously it means we can't compete with many other clubs financially. If that means we get players in who really want to be here though then it might be for the better. Link to post Share on other sites

This is what fans often forget. If I was changing jobs and I had no emotional attachment to one of the new jobs - the one which offered 25% more is going to win. Only way it wouldn't is if I had to move to a location that I didn't want to. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Tomlinho 43 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I feel he’ll still be a Boro player come a week today - but that’s just the hope/optimism in me. We’re missing out on a very good player if he goes elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I still can't believe they're getting 20 million for Webster that's absolutely mad the guys not even one of the top 10 CBs in the league imo. Hutton and Howson wouldn't be good enough for me as our RBs, Spence looked miles off in preseason we need someone in preferably permanently. Link to post Share on other sites
