    We'll get a small amount of that 15m as well so not too shabby

    Boro should have probably committed this much in the transfer window while they were still in the Premier League. Now they're in the lottery that is the promotion chase, with clubs going silly left, right, and center.

    Hope we are not in the same position next year which could be the case if we don't bring in at least one quality striker! It's going to cost billy big bucks though whatever way you cut it.

    Not necessarily, Boro were probably the only team that offered £15mil so he had no choice but to go there. He obviously wanted out of Forest and I'm sure he would rather the Prem. However just cause that's what he prefers doesn't mean the club have to accept it. They have to do what's best for them which is accepting the highest offer. Sure he could have kicked up a fuss and refused to go there but all that does is damage he rep for the future. Boro will be pushing for promotion and based on the championship this season, they should get it.

    I'm sure I can talk her into it if my agents cut reflects the market rate. She's not that worried about the prem so that won't be an issue. I'm not sure she even knows what it is.

    Probably thinks Middlesbrough are more likely to be in the Premier League in 2018/19 than us!

    Current Betting odds probably support that view.

    There is no doubt he is a good player and Middlesbrough know he can score goals in the championship, therefore they know exactly what they are getting to do the job they need, with us it's slightly different i.e. Can he score goals in the P.L., at 15 million it is a lot of money to be taking a risk on

    Slightly worrying that 15 million gets you someone with no P.L. Experience, makes Troy cheap at 25 million however he won't be going anywhere when his groin is better other than our first team.

    Just been interviewed by Jim White on his TalkSport show - was questioned why Boro? And he gave the usual answer that they are aiming to get back to the premiership, excited by manager etc etc but he also said clearly they were the only option. So we can discount the fact he chose them over us. More likely paper talk or we (sensibly) stopped short on the fee.

    Wait, sorry... Did you think Britt was the only player the club should of signed hahahahahah.

    Hopefully the latter if our recruitment team have found better targets. It has gone very quiet in respect of further links for us. Let's hope thats a good sign. The next two weeks will be crucial in landing the right personnel. Don't want to picking up scraps once the season starts or on deadline day. Another striker, CB and LB of EPL quality are essential. A winger and promising No.2 GK highly desirable. I think of first teamers Behrami, Britos and Amrabat will definitely be off. Of the rest Arlauskis, Parades, D'D' and maybe Watson off. Silva might surprise us by giving Hoban a chance. Depending on what he sees in Austria, Success and Sinclair might have an opportunity to impress. If Success can get superfit and practice his shooting he could be pretty awesome for us. COYHS.
