Age is irrelevant shall I repost your thoughts on that from last year mercer anyhow to respond to your original post de neve isn’t the weimann replacement as said so by val him self who directly compared him to Owen beck

Bailey from the North East, usually pretty bob on with Boro news. Presume the Brittain news and the bid for the Hibs player is 24 hours behind and the first bit of news led to the latter

Sounds like trying to negotiate via Journos to see if we are desperate and make Brittain even more uncomfortable.

They didn't want to stay here. @JHRoverDeveloping 3 young players within the first team squad isn't going to sacrifice results is it? Michalski and Tyjon are highly rated and Montgomery has shown enough he can made an impact at this level, so why wouldnt you develop them given we already invest in our academy and why we have category 1 status

Good riddance to the weasel

Didn't Boro bid already £2.5m?.

Are they reports you’d like to share, or are they private reports for your eyes only?

Sounds like Brittain is close to leaving looking at reports this morning.

Steve Waggott’s piece de resistance. (Please don’t tell me it wouldn’t get spent on players but)… doesn’t anyone know how much we’d get if he did get sold for 100m

So, according to Palace, Adam's value has increased by £70M in one season with them. Yeah right! Another interpretation---he was worth more than £30M. I hope for his sake he doesn't go to Spurs. I would add that I'd glad to see my club receive a big pay-off from any deal but since we will see none of it I can't get excited.

Yeah, and also he’d only played in the Championship so you couldn’t tell how good he was.

Venky losses? Could you explain that for me.

I’ll let you know if the away kit is the one leaked pretty shortly.

I totally agree the system is a shambles, but clubs down the leagues suffer exactly the same way i.e. us taking Tyjon from Rochdale. It isn’t just PL clubs benefitting, although as they are the apex predator, they just get the more polished diamonds as they get older. I can’t believe there can’t be changes made to protect clubs’ considerable investment in young players. I sometimes wonder what the point is in having an academy when the power just lies with the player and more usually, their agent. Invest in a player for 8-10 years, and then come out with a lousy tribunal which I would imagine if absolutely nowhere near their true valuation. Did the fee for Finneran ever get angreed and if so, communicated? If he ends up playing even 10-20 games for Newcastle they’d come away with at least a 7-figure sum as and when they decide to sell.

Terrible wind up.

Sorry but if you're trying to cheer us up, that's not very convincing for more reasons than one.

Lucy Bronze -loved the penalty. Having seen the previous tame misses, seemed she just thought "I'm not having that "and smashed it straight down the middle. Job done.

Yeah, the first goal was a complete gift.

Rovers Customer Charter says they will reply in three working days. Send it again and point this out - I did and got an immediate response. Out of interest who did you email it to?

The deal was *fine*… U21 appearances, or something.

Oh Waco, I do admire your enthusiasm… but no, they couldn’t give a flying fuck.

Are you still getting to those friendlies mate? Currently on another island so wondering if there'll be anyway to watch the friendlies whilst here

Completely agree, without those in the know the flame would of gone out long ago. I flick through here daily and have done since the season (and every season) ended looking for a small step in change or an inch toward the door. Just all gone on for far too long now it's draining hoping and waiting for a new lease of life which the club needs.
