As a Boro fan, the second half of last season he was unreal, unplayable. Never seen a player as exciting as him since Juninho at the club. He is only 22, he will go onto much better things. I wish him well, he is far too good for the championship. His end product is improving. I think a few people w...

It is the clubs chosen paper after the evening gazette has been frozen out and journalists banned from the stadium. £11m is taking the Mi...

He’s Boro through and through. Great leader, had a fantastic season in the premier league, not so great last year. Last summer he signed a new contract after we turned down £20 million from WBA and pulis then WBA manager said it would be very hard to get Ben from Boro. Most Boro fans are more worrie...

No idea if the story is true, but if it is, embarrassing would be the word. I'd eat Donkey **** on the moon if we got Gibson for anything less than 15. I should think Boro would want at least 20. Don’t think many Boro fans, myself included think we would get more than 18m at most for him after last...

I am surprised no one has taken him from Boro already. He's already knocking on the England door with Keane but without PL experience he's not going to make it. Isn't he related to Gibson the chairman? His wage demands may be beyond us Gibson is expected to stay at us Boro. West Brom have bid 20m a...

Middlesbrough actually. He signed a 2 year deal MAy 2008.

Boro fan perspective here! I'd be surprised if he is coming to us as it looks like we are about to wrap up Braithwaite for £9 Million. That would leave our attacking options as Braithwaite, Bamford (This is his level!) and Gestede (Plan B substitute?). the £60,000 wages seem unrealistic for the Cha...

McGuire had a year left on his contract and was at hull. Gibson is at Boro and has 4 years left on his contract and we don't need to sell. Rumours from the club are if a top 7 club doesn't meet the clubs valuation, he will stay. Simple as that. Burnley may not value him at 30m but his club does.

Greame bailey Spurs told to pay £30million for Swansea's Alfie Mawson - similar fee quoted by Middlesbrough for Ben Gibson. Both look likely to stay. Yes I understand but. A) Can Uncle provide Premier League Football? and B) £30 million is a bit much. How loyal is Gibson? No, but if no one meets the...

Is it not beyond the realms of possibility to go for Gibson? We could even throw in ablueclaret as a sweetener! Think you have set the bar with Keane, with one year on his contract left. Rumours coming out the club, if the 30m valuation is not met, Gibson will be staying for the promotion push. He ...

DC cannot speak on behalf of Middlesborough. However Bamford had a blinding season for them -won Championship player of season and scored a load of goals for them. They did not go back for him the next season and he was available as he was being touted around a lot of teams. I know they have him no...

So you think Keane will have agreed terms with 2 clubs at the same time despite the fact that neither have agreed a fee with Burnley or even made an offer / approach. Why would he need or want do that ? We all know he is leaving - when there is a concrete approach he can talk to the clubs who make ...

I think we have all realised Boro fans generally have delusions of grandeur. Funny read one quoting how nice Harrogate is....they obviously haven't heard of the A59. I worked in Ripley (North of Harrogate) and its a hell of a lot easier to get to East Lancs from there than to Middlesbro. Time will ...

Do you honestly think for one second that his agent has already told our board what his terms are. **** me we might as well put a 20 million bid in for ibrahimovic knowing full well we couldn't afford his wages I would be surprised if you have put a bid in not talking to the players agent. Most ter...

Let us hope you are wrong as if he or his agent thinks he can command 60-70k a week he won't be coming to Lancashire, sadly. I think Snodgrass is well within his rights to be anticipating a salary of 40k a week+ in this market, it could be that we can remove the plus from that figure by offering a ...

You would expect he wants a large last wage and decent contact around the 45/50K mark for the price tag.

Boro are favourites for him if all is to be believed, they will no doubt spunk a shed load of cash his way which is their prerogative. I'm amazed Gibson has stuck with Karanka though, always wants to sign 100 players every transfer window - spanish version of Neil Warnock We actually had a net spen...

Gap between us and you? I didn't even realise. We've scored more then you, but conceded more too. We've also got 8 wins and 2 draws, compared to 4 wins and 8 draws for you lot. It is amusing to see us where we are compared to Boro, after all the grief there was on FB and still is to a degree. Amazi...

No offence, but just how many players is Gibson going to let you sign before he goes "Are you sure you know what you are doing Aitor?" lol, Well Currently Nsue, Nugent, have left, Downing has been told he can leave, Rhodes expected to leave. De Sart has gone on loan to Derby, Mejeas has gone to Spa...

I know we, Boro are keeping a very close eye on Snodgrass, was reported a 7m bid was tabled last week. His agent works out of Yarm, Boro and Snodgrass has a house on a 1 year lease to Jordan Rhodes in Wynyard. Snodgrass is interested in a move to us but will Hull play ball.

It was a 6m pound bit plus 4m add ons, depending on promotion ect.

It's an odd choice by Karanka. Really odd. He's not worth 6 million, nevermind 10 million. Honestly I think he's pretty worthless after the past 18 months. I'm not saying he's not good enough, it's just he hasn't played consistently for nearly 2 years. Maximum I'd expect us to pay would be 2 millio...

Look at you lot, very posh. We rebuilt our ticket office last year but until a canopy was very recently installed forced fans to stand out in the pouring rain for the privilege of buying a ticket. Not that posh. Depends which way the wind/rain blows. Unless the stadium protects you, 3 and the away ...

Because we introduced a new system in 2014. All tickets are sold through ticket sale terminals and we don't have them in the turnstiles. It's not just Burnley, I don't know of a single Premier League club that would allow you to pay at the turnstile. Boro fan here. We either have to go online/phone...

To be fair we played poorly today, yet won away. Played a lot better last week and came away with a draw from a great free kick.

8 actually, must have made a nice change losing for once! Doesn't really matter anyhow, it's a new season. Totally different kettle of fish. Ayala, Gibson and friend have all signed new deals in the last 2 weeks. Barragan looks a bargin at 3m from Valencia as a right back and has played centre half...

Middlesbrough 1-2 Burnley

Venue: Riverside Stadium.

Wasn't a league match and gibson never played. We made 7 changes.

Our defence before the Hull game was poor. From the point when we brought Mee into CB our defence was far superior to yours, and still is now. Totally disagree. When gibson and Ayala played last season our record was outrageous. P23 W15 D8 L0 GA 8 They have lost 2 games when playing together since ...

I would say you have the second best defence of the promoted sides. Us (Boro) conceded 8 at home all last season and coincided less goals than any other side in the top 4 divisions, including the premier league with less games.
