With CB back in training Boro must be way off in valuation. Or simply moved on 

Same person who gave me Rosler link yesterday has dropped a winger link. Milano Jonathans

Leak of new kit On twitter as well.

Why does he have to be left footed?

Because we were targeting left footed centre half 

So there was something in the Rosler link last night. Didn’t think much of it as he wasn’t left footed

Who we being linked with?

No concrete links but seen Pavle Vagic and Colin Rosler

Another day of the exciting window ticks by without any excitement.  People have even stopped making rumours now. 

 

Seen a few today to be fair

Anyone else hearing a game against Wigan tomorrow behind closed doors. And a friendly against Dutch team week before season start

Michal Rosiak released by Arsenal. Weren't we after loaning him last year? 

Yes his name popped up last year. Dm/Rb plenty of assists in u21s football. Arsenal didn’t offer him enough. Doubt we could either. Would be a decent move

Hoping we get 1-2 deals done on players in before the Spain trip.Think I’m setting myself up for disappointment. We are so behind the curve. Hate watching our competitors being active. But hey In the mean time all they promote is merchandise and tickets. I can’t run fast enough to purchase 🤦‍♂️

The dolan situation reminds me a lot of the nyame situation.... Player thinks he's better and worth more than he actually is. But if that was the case then a decent club would have snapped him up immediately. 

 

Can see his career nose diving and him becoming another player that doesn't realise how good he's had it here

He’s waiting for a top club to get desperate for bodies. I don’t think he cares about game time. Just wants the lavish lifestyle. AIM too high above your level, expect to leave your imprints on the bench

No name leaked yet on the winger we have bid for? 

Not seen anything new. Just the usual players that are linked in near enough every window being banded about 

Just seems so quiet. Need unleaded to pop up and drop a name 

Boro linked to Gilchrist this morning

Hyam, Travis, Tronstad, Cantwell plus Ribeiro or Pickering at left back..add Hedges. Plus hopefully someone like Dramah at right back. More experience to replace Brittain 

But if we want to play Ismael's way we also need to sign the players who fit that style. Ismael wants pace, athleticism and ability to get up and down the pitch

Lost Batth who was the difference maker between all our centre half’s and so far not replaced. Brittain is going, Dolan has gone. That’s our right side of play completely gone, The side where most of our attacking threat has come from. Players need time to integrate and there is inexperienced holes all over the pitch. How can you not see what’s unfolding here.

We have been bringing players from overseas in the last 3 windows.

We still have plenty of Championship experience. Hyam, Carter, Wharton, Pickering , Cantwell, Hedges, Forshaw, Travis and Tronstad. Would include Brittain but looks like he is off to Boro which i am disappointed and gutted about. 

Ismael talks about the profile of player he wants and each signing fitting that. 

Carter and Wharton Injury prone. Leaving 25% of the spine with championship experience. Doesn’t look good at all.

I agree with Selling Pears and Buckley. 

I would sign

• similar type of right attacking full back with similar qualities to Brittain 
• Bringing in keeper to complete,
• sign Ethan Pye from Stockport cos I don't see Kapuadi and he didn't look live he wanted to leave after today's post game celebrations 
• sign a right winger permanent 
• bring in a striker on loan

but we can get sign players from overseas who don't need ESC like we have with De Neve or Gueye 

Bringing players in from abroad needs to be done over a few windows to try balance the squad. We are losing a lot of experience here. Half of our starting 11 have experience in the championship and a few are injury prone. Lose 1-2 players through injury and we will struggle massively. The depth of the squad will filled with unknowns and kids. It’s a big ask for any manager to deal with this situation. There’s no excuse, there were some good players available on a free snapped up by our competitors. Slow off the mark again

If we've bid on a winger, who's in his last year of his contract, then I hope it's Parfait Guiagon. This is purely speculating on that we're only looking at players in the Belgian league 😂

The guy is an absolute rocket of a winger! 

Watched abit of him a while back. Gnonto double

Hiroki Akiyama Is due to leave Albirex Niigata to go over-seas

Labelled as currently one of the best passers in japanese football. He's a defensive midfielder who has just one year left on his contract...Valuation around 800k on transfermarkt...Wonder if we're looking at him as a replacement for Baradji?

A lot of hidden  gems in that league. Highly regarded by the sounds of it and not expensive. Most reviews about his progressive passing. Something this team is crying out for

After reading up on stress fractures my mind has changed on this transfer. If it’s a bad one could require multiple surgery’s. Wonder if we turn back to Ajax lad

We supposedly needed a cover right back and this new lad was billed as that. Nominal fee, one to develop.

So if we cant pay a fee for another one having sold Brittain then theres something up.

Agree, unless club did things the right way and brought in CB replacement before selling him. Anything the club states needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Shouldn’t be like that, just what they’ve made us to think all these years

 all our RBs are untested kids. I would hope we are signing someone to replace Brittain. 

Definitely need more experience in the team. My choice would be Perry NG but at 29 I don’t think he would even be thought of

Surely all of those things are on hand when you're performing a medical?

You would think so. But a second opinion would be the sensible thing to do.

Need another Rb for sure. But can’t see us paying a fee for two in same window. Loan might be an option. Plenty of option available out there from relegated clubs. Mumba would be a great option if we were to pay a fee

How do you know they aren’t going to revisit it? 

Jackson’s comments when deal stalled suggested that something should be done over next few days. Would that mean renegotiating fee and clauses. More tests to see how long till it heals or probabilities of it getting worse.The safe bet would be to get a specialist opinion which could take a few days depending where they are based. Should here more in next few days but it didn’t sound completely dead
