Chapman still at Middlesbrough training ground today via instagram

If you don't mind I am trying to clutch at straws over here. Have literally got no work done today AT ALL apart from instagram sleuthing.

Didn't overlap with Dack at Gills as far as I can see

Who has their tea at 5? What is this the 90s?

Followed by...

Or maybe the player doesn't want to relocate or play for us?

Agree, I've been trying to read their chairman's tweets like tea leaves. Big fan of Maddison and a bargain for whoever gets him. --edit-- bollocks

Who's Dominic Shawcross??

Loan to buy will be how many clubs will do stuff over the next couple of weeks, I'm sure. Cue meltdown at 5pm anyway.

Abraham will be playing in the PL this year. I stake my non-existent reputation on it.

Having just heard of him 10 mins ago, and a quick google - I can confidently say he is the best player in the league and we should buy him.

Coming out of the blue like this it is always possible that the link is intended to make other agents and clubs blink first.

Alright Mystic Meg

Just seen Angus Gunn went for £13.5 million Raya is going to be a MASSIVE asset.

Not really going to go into how impressed I have been with the structure, contracts, relationship with the manager, budget management and fan engagement over the last few months. Just to say that a good CEO takes credit for nothing and the blame for everything. Doing a good job for me.

Does make me wonder what Raya would be worth in a couple of seasons, genuinely think he's got fantastic ability. Hopefully he increases his value with us, or we have a decent sell on when the inevitable happens.

Awful comment. I reckon she could find someone that earns more btw, and he's a good looking lad Travis. Willem on the other hand...

Haha, can’t believe we’re doing this. But I’m sure she’ll be gutted gregg

Not being Derek Shaw for a start.

Christ alive that’s some statement. You cannot possibly mean that? https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/blackburn-rovers-slammed-as-woeful-and-unforgivable-by-judge-in-henning-berg-pay-dispute-8575711.html Remember this? Amongst others? Yeah you didn’t want the Darwen end closing but shit the bed.

Honestly mate, I thought Willem was joking at first and it was some model. Remarkable. Anyway... Willy Tramp

This league is pish. No worries on our safety at all. —— this is gonna bite me on the arse big time isn’t it?

How bloody dare he say there has been negativity around the club??? ?

It's got Coyle written all over it this one.

Just watched a YouTube video - he's better than Pirlo. Fantastic.
