£3.5M after add ons according to Jackson

Why an undisclosed fee and what is it likely to have been?

Brittain is a huge loss, very concerning letting all this championship experience leave the club and replacing with unknown foreigners on the cheap. Let’s hope the new guys have some dog in them as I predict a very hard season ahead. Forward and defence have been significantly weakened. Hope I’m proved wrong.

Shame with Callum. Only really showed us what he was all about last season, before that was so stop start with injuries even though I knew how good he could be. If we'd have sold for 5 million then would have been fair business. Travis is probably next. No way can we replace the quality he has with the budget we have so let's hope big Lewis Miller comes in and offers something different. Perhaps some nastiness and physicality.

Another total clusterfuck by the club. As usual, we just wave goodbye to any of our better players year on year, with absolutely no desire from anyone at the club to retain them and try progress/build anything. Just get the players out the door and replace with cheaper, inferior players in order to save some money on wages. Fucking fed up of this shit.

He will be missed! Did struggle at times especially defensively in his first 2 years but the last 12 months, yes, he was arguably one of the best RWB in the league. I wouldn't go as far as it making us significantly weaker, I've confidence that Miller and Alebiosu will be good enough replacements. At least he's not walked for free...

Miller has some big boots to fill if he ever arrives...

Lights are already on with the millions robbed from Szmodics, Wharton, Raya etc

Just!

keep the lights on

Callum Brittain is easily a top 6 right back in this league, lets hope Miller is at least a top 12. Wonder what we'll do with the net £2.5m profit...

Travis

In a blink of an eye, we lost some of our most senior and core players of the squad within a month - Batth, Weimann, Dolan and now Brittain. Who's next?

Didn't like him anyway...

Thank you Cal! Don't let the door hit you on the way out That's the spend sorted for this year

Gigantic blow to lose Brittain. Makes us much weaker and a team competing supposedly in the same area of the league much stronger. In the LT article, none of the others are close to new deals either. Suspect Ismael might soon grow frustrated with that.

Always thought he had a shit hairband anyway

I think it's where the forward/s will come from.

Callum leaves. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/august/04/callum-completes-middlesbrough-move/

There’s a difference between sensible attacking cricket (Root) and reckless batting (Brook in particular but also others). The shot Brook got out to was ridiculous - and it’s not the first time.

Nothing there that wasn't said on here earlier, but puts it all in one thread

It’s just the elephant in the room with the lack of progress or no contract talks with trav. Add that to vals interviews re their situations it is leaning towards another exit and Travis is the one with more value

Yeah I agree dont worry, but the way this club is run is anything but sensible, which is why I think the stupid decisions will be made.

I had a quick look at their line up and pretty much all of their better players were on the bench - they're playing Forest tomorrow and United on Saturday.
