Completed 9/9 long balls attempted in his last match so will fit in to the system well. Brilliant tackler and dictates play from deep. Just what we need in the middle and some proper competition for Downes at last.

I've got to say, going from demanding £50m up front to accepting £40m is pathetic.

Fernandes bid accepted last night. A real shame.

Imagine the embaressment of losing to Grimsby as a Premier League side!....

Sesko signed for £73m and hasn't got the bottle to take any of United's first NINE penalties against a League Two side 🤣

Ipswich signing Nunez from Norwich. That will go down well in Norfolk…

Already scored against Pompey in his career when at Plymouth (who have a bit of a rivalry with the blue lot so he should fit in with any chant that includes hating them). Home game for Boro v them last season he got an assist, had 7 key passes (passes leading to a shot), 4 shots and 2 on target in 70 minutes on the pitch. A nice introduction to playing them in a few weeks’ time.

Freddie Potts would be a useful loan now West Ham are brining in midfielders if people can see past him being at Pompey on loan last season.

One of positions we want in is someone else at CM. Aribo likely to have to be a loan if he goes to just get wages off the books.

Bizarre comment. Had 3 injuries in his whole career aged 27

We don’t need to sell for less. Dibling in the end we had to compromise on more than we wanted to because he only had 2 years left on his contract and realistically, even if he had a good Championship season with us, we were never going to get £35/40m plus for him next summer with 12 months left on a contract (with him refusing to sign a new one). Fernandes has 4 years left and with the Dibling money, we’re under no pressure to lower our asking price of £50m up front.

Who’s going to pay £50m+ for him in the next week?

Finally some movement!

We want two wingers.

Charlton, Preston and Blackburn were three of the sides that liked BBD as of a couple of weeks ago. Think it’s likely to be a loan whoever he ends up at. Waiting for an update on other matters.

You do realise Middlesbrough are now in their 9th consecutive season in the Championship?

Been on holiday so not really heard anything but will hopefully find out more when back Tuesday. Don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure we need 3 or 4 in the door though and about the same to go out (Aribo, Smallbone, ABK, Sugawara and Matsuki (loan).

Big week ahead indeed…

His injury record just isn’t good enough sadly

Well we certainly know how much Tottenham have to spend on an attacking midfielder now, which should play to our advantage.

Ooh that’s interesting! Would love him back

Martin and Rangers giving Joe Rothwell a 3 year contract when the bloke can’t run is extraordinary.

Should be shifting to 4-2-3-1 for this. Quarshie will come good but making too many mistakes at the moment so most likely to be sacrificed if Still does change shape: ——————————Bazunu——————— —Sugawara——THB—-Stephens—Manning ———————Charles—Downes———— —Fraser————-Fernandes——Robinson— —————————Armstrong———————

Spertsyan bid is €14 million plus addons

No word on how talks went with President earlier but as far as I know, Spertsyan will play tomorrow for Krasnodar as a goodbye and then everything should be finalised Saints end in the coming week. Club have done a lot of work in the background which will hopefully mean we won’t have to wait too much longer for it to be official but dealing with a Russian club naturally gives a few more hurdles.
