If Preston get both of them on frees then someone is having a wind up

How much are we paying Downing and Johnson if they are eating up some of the budget??? I am appreciate the Gallagher fee will be high but the other two???

20 percent I read

Should be the other way round, lets spend a bit on a couple of defenders for a change.

Yes I agree as well. Although we might run the risk of being poached if he drops in value. Wigan, if they are interested, would surely come back in

One year we will get our business done early and that will finally be the sign our club has competent ownership again

From those options, 2 by far

Bloody hell, I see 15 new posts, expect some news and then realise of course we haven't bought someone. Repeated trips to an empty fridge

If he said that fucking hell his whole "work into the team" needs to fucking stop

What did Mowbray say?

A lot of truth in that. The rift between the north and south continues and that rift is often naturally found in football

Selling Travis would be a compete abandonment of any long term aims the club has.

Very true, major weakness was the defence and, after missing out on a couple of defenders, we have sold our number 1. Need to get them in soon to get them to gel in time for the new season

Against the might of Barrow

Charlie Adam has played 12 games last season scoring 1 goal, he is old and looks like a prat. Get rid of him quick

Maybe we were just mistaken. When they mentioned getting players from abroad, they actually meant outside of Middlesbrough

If we are selling Raya to bring in Joe Hart ............... Jesus Christ we are on for the Brexit 11

Sam Gallagher and Ben Brereton Huge gamble here. Can we afford this style of purchase? Fits the overall direction of the club's transfer policy: young, British and potential. However, this is a huge risk to have so much money in two players when the more sensible strategy would be to spread that over several positions.

They are paying for what he can be rather than what he is. If he can fulfil his potential will we deeply regret this

Selling Raya is madness. I have a bias for academy products but still think we would be letting him go early when he has bags of potential

I'm drunk and Rovers still havent signed anyone. Give me Keith 'The God' Andrews at this point. Also keep Raya ffs

Has there been any idea/leak of what the message from Venkys was?

I think that despite our lack of depth in CM we need to sell Evans and Smallwood quickly and look to buy 3 CMs. Two CMs who are first teamers and a covering player In defences we need at least two depending on our budget. Priorities are a another CB and LB. Nyambe might have some potential due to his age but Bell has shown he isnt up for this league IMO. Having Chapman fit again will be like a new signing on the wing but we still need 1 forward to add a bit of depth. Graham is getting older and an injury to him leaves us knackered. We need to hope we keep hold of Dack for another year. Although saying that I can't see an obvious destination for him apart from the relegated Prem Clubs spending the cash to go right by up, Huddersfield?.

What was the goal like?

Really impressive so far, 2-0 up Both centre backs and Chapman looking great. Will be pushing on into the first team next season.
