There is actually a 4th shirt there on the far left which you just catch a glimpse of 🙂

Blackmore did say it was going to be a Long Good Friday, let’s hope there’s more good news to come this evening

Yeah I can’t quite get the other clues. Seems to be a far east or Turkish wrap/flatbread being used by the club and by Alfie House! Eff knows.

He's done kebab adverts

Boom, great day. Feared an exodus akin to the admin years following the amateur hour at the end of the season, which also followed a mockery of a season in the Premier League the year before. These two signings show Eckert very much still has a lot of belief in him from the players and while there will be some outgoings, these two loan signings in January elevated us to a higher level and now they're permanent.

Larin occupies centre-backs so well. He's always battling with them and giving them something to think about. We've been used to strikers hiding from a challenge in recent years and Larin definitely doesn't do that. Played a bit drunk Middlesbrough away, but well worth signing on a permanent based on his other appearances. Now to actually take an interest in him during the World Cup. Thought he'd keep his options open and then get links towards Wrexham with their Canadian links and his performance against them away.

It's a Lebanese shawarma, a popular food in Canada. Particularly Ontario.

So you’re telling me Osman Shawarma isn’t a cultured centre midfielder?

Damn.

[Miltonaggro]

Terrific news, our very own Cyrille Regisesque  number 9, such a transformative player for us in the second half of last season. Best start to the fuck you reboot possible, along with Danny Peretz! 

[hypochondriac]

I much prefer the exciting signings prior to the demoralising sales than the other way round.

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm very happy he's joined us permanently. There was a lot of derision from some when he signed, because his track record wasn't great and on paper it did seem an odd signing. So it was very pleasing to see him prove his doubters wrong and become a key part of our unbeaten run.

I just really hope that he doesn't succumb to the Saganowski effect now that he's signed permanently.

Im just really confused, just the other day a Boro fan was telling me that all our players wanted out and were going to sue the club , this doesn't make any sense 

[Midfield_General]

If the £2.5m fee being reported is accurate, then for a known quantity who has just come to a new league, scored in 8 in 16, and shown that he also contributes a lot occupying defenders and holding the ball up for others even if he's not scoring, again that is an amazing bit of business. 

You can't get a decent youth player for £2.5m anymore, let alone a proven 1-in-2 centre forward. 

Hats off to Spors, he's smashing this so far.

Some of our own fans were saying the same thing, along with losing our sponsors, but P & O are staying too!

[Swaythling Saint]

Huge again! Two signings that are really glad to get over the line.  Again the relationship with Tonda key.

All publicity is good publicity.  

[BotleySaint]

Incredible we've managed to secure him for next year.

Excellent work rate, attitude and goal ratio.

Will be fantastic to see how he fares over a whole season!

[Cabrone]

Brilliant day, another player who we know can do the business up front and who will hit the ground running on day 1. Larin for me was another key player in our unbeaten run.

Also this may give any waverers food for thought about staying.

It's quickly coming together.

Hopefully there's no ban in the pipeline. 

[S-Clarke]

Not another one! 

A busy day to say the least, I thought we'd have a chance with Larin either way - but to me it feels as if the club are putting all effort into retaining this team, as it worked so well in the second half of last season. 

He was a little bit WTF when he signed, but immediately he added what we haven't had for many years. Pace/Power and a presence up top. No more relying on Adam Armstrong or Archer to hold it up, made so much difference to us.

[sambosa75]

Excellent Championship level striker.  A good days business I’d say.

[Patrick Bateman]

Superb, what a superb day - top and bottom of the spine signed up again, brilliant! 

[die Mannyschaft]

I think Larin gives us options,  holds ball up well, can run and scores. Useful at corners so another player secured.
