Nothing yet. Travis still expected to leave.

Think we can say my source is reliable when I had this before Nixon.

Nothing is 100% with any transfer but I trust my source better than some of the rumours on here. I reckon it is 90% happening. They definitely want Buckley out due to his wages, plus he is well down the pecking order atm.

Unsure on team at the moment but from a source at the club.

Buckley is off to Saudi for £1m. Seen as a higher earner within the squad so they wanted to get him this summer.

According to a source at the club they have suspended Travis for refusing to play. Unsure if I believe that or if it is a way of trying to turn us against Travis for wanting away.

Yes to 30kpw like I suggested the other night... Travis is probably on around 15 to 20kpw at Rovers. We don't pay anyone more than 20kpw and never will do with Pasha and Ruddy in charge. We should have had Adam Wharton as captain for a season getting us into the Prem and selling for 50m to reinvest for a whole new squad... instead we have yellow stickers 50p buys from relegated sides around Europe.

Travis has been offered 30k a week by another championship club.

Have it from a good source that it was 4.5m and not 5m!

Emiliano Martínez was on loan at Reading last year and could be a good loan signing if we wanted one.

Cairney is not a 20m player due to that fact that no one has paid that for him and thus until he is sold again he is only worth what Fulham paid for him. Yes we messed up but if he is sold I am sure we will have a sell on clause so we should want them to do well as the fee we then received increases substantially. Raya is going and the better he does the more money we get. Not many of the players we have sold in the last 15 years have gone on to do that much better.

Raya Fee is 3m that can rise to 5m with add ons. I think if we were talking about the full 5m then a lot of us would sell. Could come to regret it though.

Am I right in thinking that he it was being suggested as wanting 30k a week due to being on a free transfer? We need to see who we sign instead and then decide if we have missed out on a decent player. Personally I think we can get better than a League 1 CB

Personally we could sort out our problems if we played 3 at the back then you could have Bell and Bennett as wing backs and they don't need to do as much defending. They both have the energy for that role. You could have Lenihan Mulgrew Hanley as back but I still worry about Mulgrew and if he would just cause havoc in that. TM has tried a few time in pre season to play 3 at the back and I think it is what he would like to do long term. The other issue is we would need a lot more cover for 3 CB and therefore don't think we will do that.

I think a position that needs strengthening is RB and have someone who can teach the position to Nyambe better. I like him when I see him but he needs to improve a lot of areas of his game! RB would also allow to play Bennett further up the pitch with the energy he has.

I work with about 10 or 15 Boro Season Ticket holders and they said a lot of the time he played in CM. How often do BBC, Sky and god knows how many other platforms state the wrong formation or have the wrong player in a certain position.

Or you tell him the truth that he might not start and then you don't have a player having expectation of starting every week. Just like in every job people move, get sold the earth and then become annoyed at what was promised. Personally he has little Championship experience and was demanding a lot of money so I think it is important to know when to say no thank you!

He played most of his 38 appearances for Boro as CM player last year. I feel like people forget about Tugay and how mobile was he ? I am very happy with the signing just hope he isn't a flop like Peter Whittingham

No idea on Chapman, personally would have thought they might just leave that till summer. I think it was this lad https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/12691/11593327/sheffield-united-sign-kieran-dowell-from-everton-on-loan I suppose he wants to be in a team at the top of the league and they do play the young lads at Sheffield. Some of the loans we had didn't get played much like Harper as an example.

We are trying to sign Reed but a lot of other clubs are going to be trying to sign him to. Deal to be done with Southampton. We want a striker and a rb no names as yet. Missed out on a loan sign as Sheffield Utd got him instead. Will be looking at mostly loans but if deals become available the venkys will consider it. Being closer to the play offs come end of January might allow for more cash to be spent. Dack has a value that if not ment then no deal to be done. Venkys want to keep him until the summer at then maybe take the cash to reinvest throughout the squad. Will inform more when I know it.

Just trying to speed up other teams to make a decision. Will have more information later today!

Working on deals Sam Gallagher is still a chance on loan just have to wait and see Lad from Forrest is able to come on loan just wanting to agree price. No other news but will be speaking to people on Thursday.

Not heard anything but they will be still working on additions after today

Might be a bit busy but will update as soon as I hear anything

We have a number of bids in but nothing that I can be 100% on. So wouldn't want to confirm anything.
