Yeah cos that's the logical solution for those of us who want our team to try and improve.

You could all start by stopping wetting your beds until the window closes. Then have a moan if you must. Collectively we are known as “supporters” there is not much support going on from some on here.

Regarding the Fry link, I had a look on the Boro forum and found the following gem:

'£15m plus Gibson and a healthy % of next sale would be my demands.'

Aye fair enough...lets stop all comment until the window closes, then check back to see if we are allowed to comment.

Do you think we aren't trying?

Of course we are trying, the email to all clubs and agents is being drafted as we speak

Very trying .

Especially at times like these (transfer windows)

northeastclaret wrote:Of course we are trying, the email to all clubs and agents is being drafted as we speak

Good one.

TP do you still think we will bring any players in before the deadline?

Yes

Tall Paul wrote:Do you think we aren't trying?

Were not trying hard enough we should be :-

Keeping players against their will
Giving all new signings a minimum of 30k a week more than highest paid player
Allowing said player to be on same wage if we get relegated
Signing every player mentioned in a rumour unless we think there not good enough to start
Etc etc

I thought it was those unsure with our dealings so far who were over reacting...

More a case of we have to work on a presumption that Tarks will go. It's no good losing Tarks and not having another CB lined up to come in
It will all depend on Leicester I reckon, once one goes the dominoes will tumble.

Nothing against comments it’s the repetition of cry babies because we haven’t signed a CM. I’d like one in as well but griping on here isn’t going to move things on and tge window is still open.

I can see where they are coming from to be honest. A regular England u21 international with a long term contract signed last year till 2023 and no reason to sell. Lazy journalism say he's contracted till 2021 but that's incorrect if you do a bit of digging yourself. He's a local lad who has no desire to leave at the moment and has been linked with bigger clubs in recent history being Man Utd and Liverpool. They do seem to be trying to reduce the outgoings but the way they are trying to do that is to get rid of the high earners not sell their young assets which Woodgate is trying to encourage. Flint, Downing, Mikel and Braithwaite all gone reducing the wage bill by probably £150k a week easy plus £10m in sales.

Webster has also just joined Brighton for £20m and Fry is younger and a much better prospect than him or Ben Gibson. Maguire for £80m, Tarks being linked with £40m+ move to Leicester and Ake being valued at £75m by bournemouth I think its a time to just name your price.

Maybe stop using expressions like ' cry babies' and ' wetting your beds ' ?

Why else do you think I'm on here? I've heard there's a fair few recruitment specialists on this forum. We're just putting out the feelers to see if anyone on here knows a player who's available who could add to our group.

Speaking of which, are you free on Saturday, TheFamilyCat? We're willing to offer you two Twixes per month but you'd have to bring your own boots (that's a deal-breaker).

I’ve no plans but I am a central defender by trade, however ablueclaret thinks I could play the midfield holding role.

Camarasa to Palace nearly done and dusted apparently.

Good morning! Is this the right post for an argument?

Now you know why SD plays his cards close to his chest. Palace nip in before us, that's Cahill and Camasara they've nicked from us

TARKOWSKI TO LEICESTER UNLIKELY

Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski looks to set to miss out on a move to Leicester City.

After missing out on Gary Cahill, who joined Crystal Palace on Monday, the Lancashire club are more reluctant to sell Tarkowski, who would cost north of £40m.

After reaching an impasse with the Clarets over a fee, the Foxes are now understood to be looking at loan options - within and outside the UK - to replace Harry Maguire.

I hope so.

Nixon says the wells offer was 2.5 m that got rejected

We only offered them £2.5m to take him off our hands

Only joking - maybe

I doubt the Tarkowski/Leicester saga is at an end just yet, particularly if the rumours are true about us being in for Dael Fry.

Well Swansea offered 5 million for Wells....

You have a link for this? I am not seeing any more action on a Camarasa to CP move.

I think it all depends on whether that move of Lo Celso to Totnum happens....

The headline says 5m but the actual article says it was 2.5m.

Roll on Thursday. This is painful.
I did see something regards Mason Holgate from Everton being linked with us on Twitter by a Mersey journo (I think) but nowhere else.
That's my input.

See you Thursday.

can't see tarks being focused properly with all this nonsense surrounding him recently, bad timing with kick off in a few days time.

I didn't read it. You are right..... still think letting him go is the right move.

There was something in either The Sun or The Mirror (online) about this.

As kick off draws ever nearer it’s looking more and more like we’re gonna start from a virtually identical pool of players ( Jay rod and the odd back up player aside) I’m still hoping SD pulls a late rabbit out the hat as with Defour finished we’re are literally crying out for midfield creativity /ball carrying .

It was The Sun

On a positive note the same pool of players displayed Europa league form going into this season.
