Will I need to join a queue (line for our US members) to suck Daniel when this gets confirmed? 🤷‍♂️
No one’s saying that though are they?

Stop being so reductive. Ffs piers Morgan style patter

‘Spend some facking money levy Etc’

Spends 60M on richarlison and you still give it the childish high and mighty ‘oh I suppose I should be grateful act’

Just be a normal poster and say - nice to see him spending money on an an area that’s long needed Another striker.
 
For me it's very simple.

The club very reliably seems to do its worst business whenever we've pushed the boat out to pay the extra sum.

The more expensive the player, the less well scouted they seem to be.

That might be true but that or more of an us issue. Clubs that generally spend more win more. We just need to make sure our scouting is better and closer to Liverpool than Man United.
 
People has this exact attitude when we over paid for TND, GLC, Sessegnon, Sanchez, Aurrier, and I'm sure there's more. If we signed Richarlison on a 5 year deal he'd be 30 at the end of it. Brazillians aren't known to be great into their 30s. If he's not absolutely brilliant, we will have wasted precious money on a player we have no use for and are unable to move on. Again.

I dont know if that's a fair stereotype. Dani Alves, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Fernandino are a few that I can think of just off the top of my head that were great well into their 30's.

Maybe it's a positional thing. All the players you've listed are defenders/defensive.
I'm thinking of players like Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho and many more who seem to fall off a cliff at 30.

So much bullshit in one paragraph.
 
A Boro fan (on SC) posted his view on Djed Spence


E10Boro


Hi Everyone,

North-East London based Boro fan in peace.

Obviously the Spence deal is really important to us and we need to get it done too and I agree that I think there is a bit posturing between two similar minded people in Levy and Gibson, so fingers crossed it gets done as our bigger bits of summer business depend on this sale.

Spence is really not well thought of in the town or at the club and it's pretty mutual so we don't think this will go on into next week with Spence potentially having to report to pre-season training.

I believe the reason that Forest were quoted slightly less than Spurs for this deal is due to the fact that we rinsed them a bit in January for a new loan fee after threatening to recall him. I think putting that loan fee on top of what Forest was quoted brings it to the same amount. I know that there are a few holes in that logic but that's what the word is from the Boro end.

Anyway, think you guys are heading in the right direction under Conte and I think you are doing some really good business in the last 6-12 months.
 
Lamela used to do all that and as a fan I appreciated that. Someone thats a nuisance to the other team ..well i think its a useful trait. Football doesnt have to be nicey nicey.
I think the belligerence can be useful but I hope that if we get him in Conte can have him remove the play acting from his game. I’m sure he does draw proper fouls but the over acting is annoying at best
 
Informative. Thanks. So we probably have a 100 mil or so left from uncle Joe. 50-60 for Richarlison. Leaves another 50 plus sales. Raphinha would be nice....

I suspect Raphina is still hoping Barcelona offload a few players to free up both wages and get fees in such that they have the ability to sign him - they still have 3 'freebies' which Spanish FA are refusing to register until they free up enough wages etc to allow them to be registered. So Raphina could find himself in a queue.......

Whilst I don't see Spurs throwing more money at players than they need, I suspect one or two more decent players (including maybe Raphina) could still be signed this window as I suspect money can be found ...... if the right players are available (might need to watch HG numbers though as well).
 
Apparently Barca offering Dembele even less money for a new deal than they did in Jan.......


Dembele on a free... Any 'yes' votes form the gallery?
