Yeah but why would the deal be an obligation to buy if he becomes a free agent at the end of the years loan?

Senior training centre

Championship players were brought in then and those players did the job they were brought in for to get them promoted. Parker was 100% right to call out the board on their lack of spending this summer.Relegation is a certainty with the squad of players they have. I don't think Parker is a good manager but certainly think he has been hard done by getting sacked so early with minimal investment after succeeding in his objective of getting them promoted last season

Hull also sold Lewis Potter for 17 million. Yeah we may have only spent around the £4 million mark this summer but In terms of net spends it's one of the biggest so far this summer in the championship. Do I believe if FFP didn't exist Venkys would go all out and spend multi millions in the transfer market?No But they do spend money on the team sporadically and clubs with similar incomes like your Prestons etc don't go out spending £5 million and £8 million fees on individual players.Nor did they run wagebills as big as ours were for years .

Hard to see this being true. Barkley however bad he has been at Chelsea will have interest.Both Celtic and Rangers have an interest and can offer champions league football .

So far this summer we have one of the bigger net spends in the championship. Boro you mention sold two players Traviner and Spence. Even with the players they have brought in still have £15 million worth of player trading profit.

He scored 16 goals and assisted 5 last season. He isn't worth the money that's being talked about but he isn't shit mate

Their manager has said transfer speculation Is affecting him and gave it as a reason why he had been left out of late

I know yeah it's not as if they have ever spent biggish money on a forward before

Wharton when fit plays surely

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/august/28/dom-s-deal-delight-/ Suppose he wouldn't really say anything else but sounds positive enough about the move according to this

Except for when Mowbray was appointed here ....it was very soon after Coyle went

Cutrone going or gone to Como. Parrot is at Preston this season. Archer only being let out on loan if Villa sign a striker

Is Hyam not as good as done? So would leave 1 from Van Den Berg or Van Hecke?

You are forgetting Hyam which is practically a done deal. So must be him and one other. Id choose Van Den Berg due to him having experience playing rb.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20799693.coventry-city-boss-praises-blackburn-rovers-bound-dominic-hyam/ Robins gutted over losing Hyam

Lampard seemed pretty confident that Anthony Gordon staying there.If that's the case you would expect they are out of the running for Brererton

Hyam medical tomorrow

Brererton has played a handful of games as a CF .His goals have come from his usual position left of a 3

Yeah but Brererton on low wages so yes hopefully some of that money will go on a goalscorer. We still can't be running a squad with 20-25 or similar quality and wages with our turnover the way it is. Of course the club need to be doing more to drive income up but as it stands the Wage bill needs to remain reasonable.

When we were second in the league and if we had sold Rothwell I can nearly guarantee you would have been on here going mad at the club for "cashing in" to a direct rival with our best chance of promotion in years . I'm of the opinion money was available last January it just wasn't spent. When we bought Brererton, Gallagher, Armstrong and all the other players brought in during Mowbrays reign what paid for them? So far this summer money spent on Brittain and Szmodic for more than the million quid you reckon. Also agreed a fee for Hyam suggestions could be £2.5 million. So money is being spent and no we can't afford to run a 20-25 man squad of players of similar quality

We have Dack and Szmodic for the role Buckley played last season. And Hedges is playing a role this season he didn't last season. Iv said myself would prefer more than another 3 in but if we don't get them don't think it is a total disaster like seems to be suggested. We have hardly any external income we can't afford to carry a squad of 20-25 with players of similar quality .

And? Boro's record in the transfer market is impeccable is it? Not sure what point your trying to make? Boro signing Clarke doesn't mean he is a better player than Hyam

No but the fact spurs wanted him to sign a new contract and that he was being involved with the first team suggests he has something about him

Don't know iv already said iv rarely seen Hyam.Have you seen much of him? Matt Clarke will be on a lot more money than Hyam coming from a premier league club that has to be factored in aswell. Comparing him with Hyam as they play same position.
