Id come to terms with the fact that if any of the 3 do end up signing new deals it will be at the end of the season. Why would they sign them now?We could be a premier league club in a few months time if things go our way and if we do get promoted our wage budget will become a lot healthier.

They have offered him a new deal and given him a little gametime in Europe.Even if he refuses the new deal they would still be due compensation at tribunal. A loan move and gametime could see them recieve a higher fee at tribunal.He seems rated there

Arsenal aint daft though.They will see us sat 3rd in the league amongst the highest scorers, with the second top scorer in the league and another loanee in Khedra performing admirably. Boro were in need of front players coming in to the side immedietly. No guarantee Balagoun will be anything special either.By all accounts Nkieth was rated just as highly and was mediocre at best when on loan at Leeds

I was one of those and il be honest i was totally fed up with Mowbray after last season and didnt want him being given too much money as felt even making the playoffs under his watch was a dream that would never ever become reality. At the time i could understand the Armstrong sale being used to balance the books but since then we have been made aware of the training ground sale for 16.6 million and Brerertons stock has risen so high none of us could have predicted. The owners can have no excuse for not releasing a bit of money this window with our position if they really mean that they are "Totally committed to getting the club back to the Premier league"

A loan deal sky suggesting

Like you i wouldnt go full tilt. But with the fall back of a Brererton sale i dont see why £5 or so million couldnt be invested in this window. Be daft not to spend this window and then give a decent kitty in the summer after losing out on promotion and then selling Brererton. We are in a very good position in the table right now and players will find us an attractive proposition with a chance of promotion.

Balogun and Arsenal will want guaranteed starts for him.At the moment we can not offer that with the form of Brererton amd Khedra.Boro had a need for fowards to come straight into the first 11 Nkieth went on loan to leeds from Arsenal a few seasons ago, and i dont remember him being that much of a success.

I would rather a more experienced player and of course it would be a gamble.But would we not have said the exact same abouk Khedra, he wont help us get promoted?

Will Spurs really be open to selling him?Cant say im convinced this would be anything other than a loan deal. He made his debut in the Europa conference league coming on for the last 15 minute v Vitesse. He seems to be seen as one of their more brighter prospects and they are trying to get him tied down to a new contract.

I dont think Johnson should be starting but i wouldnt be showing any experienced player the door.Our squad is lacking in experience as it is. Say what you want about Johnson but he knows what its like being involved at this end of the table.

Every single report iv read on the Swansea link says they have to move players on to raise the funds to sign O'Riley

Zeeifuk is more or less done its only a covid issue holding it up, hardly the fault of the club.Iv not seen the guy live but his stats suggest he is a player of note.His career has been spent in the top division in Holland and Germany

Swansea need to raise the funds to buy him.We shouldnt Plus why would a player favour a move to Swansea just because a manager the player worked under for less than a year is there? Swansea are currently a long way off the playoffs whilst we are 4 points clear of 4th place.

He isnt first 11 and imo he has contributed this season with 5 goals.Im not his biggest fan either but as an option on the bench still feel he can contribute. Whatever forward we do sign(if it happens) will have work to do to displace Khedra or Brererton

Who would you be looking to replace from our starting line up? At the minute every player in the first 11 is worth their place.The squad could do with a few more but in terms of first 11 i dont see an obvious weak link at the minute

They say a leopard never changes his spots but in this instance i can't see Mowbray moving away from a winning formula and start to tinker with the team that has done so well for him. I wanted him gone and still feel he is an average manager but a lot of credit has to go to him this season for coming up with a formula that has put us right in the mix for automatic promotion.

His performances this season have obviously gone next level. But his form was showing improvement after the football break.Beginning of last season he was decent

Excellent news

See Nixon has been tweeting that Derby are trying to bring in Frankie Fielding. Could be an option as an experienced number 2 and let Pears out on loan

I agree it doesnt look positive in terms of us having a decent pot to bring players in but they aint gonna be telling Sharpe how much we have to spend Has he ever broken a transfer story?

Brererton to miss both Boro and Luton matches due to Chile call up If the Boro game hadnt been moved to the monday he would have been available

If these reports are true and we really are looking at O'Riley and are open to including a player in a swap then maybe Davenport? At his age surely he will want to start playing more regulary than he has done here and with his injury record and limited playing time i dont see him currently getting a transfer to another Championship team

My point isnt regarding the quality of the player. It relates to the fact that after bringing in 15 million for Armstrong and having the fall back of a Brererton sale in the summer then we shouldnt be struggling to find 1.7 million for a league one player if the management want him. Funnily enough Chaddy having a full time job ,kids and supporting Rovers i dont have the spare time on my hands to watch Mk Dons matches.I know what is in the public domain about him and if other clubs are after him which they reportedly are and we feel he will add to our squad then we should just pay the money.Its 1.7 million which is nothing in todays market
