There’s nowt good about losing Hackney, inevitable though it was. I am, however, pleased that he’s gone to a solid and decent club in Everton, with a likeable and able manager in David Moyes. I hope he does well for them.
sorry to see Hackney go. Hope that the money will be invested wisely. Three games moved for TV coverage, including league cup game v Wrexham on the Friday night and all other games up until FA Cup third round to be named by the end of the month.
Also looking at the pictures of the Boro players as they return to training, both Conway and McGree participating, and Conway without the boot he was seen earlier wearing to protect his ankle, so hopefully both may be ready to start the season.
Expansive article from the NE on why we are signing Kyle Joseph
But are we? This report on Hull's sale of two players to stave off the threat of a points deduction appeared on the Beeb site yesterday:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yz5dprjq0o
and it contains the following sentence:
Hull were expected to sell Kyle Joseph to Middlesbrough for £5m to clear the deficit, but a snag between the clubs meant it could not be completed on time.
*confused*
@stircrazy Did not pass his medical, I believe. He is still not recovered from an ankle op, following injury during a semi game.

Ah, OK. Thanks, Pedro.
Talk in the Northern Echo about Myles Peart -Harris as being a likely signing. A free agent after his release by relegated Oxford. Pacy winger apparently, 3 goals in 19 games at Oxford. Was on loan at Swansea in the previous season with similar output. I think the only positives are he is free and only 23.
@mw-in-darwin We appear to be signing players that have not been good enough at EPL clubs and then being released.
Three for the Academy, we seem to do that on a regular basis, but with no success over the last few seasons. Now Peart-Harris and at 23 he has not proven to be even EFL standard.
@pedro. Quote from the EG: “He's 23 and has struggled for consistency in his career so far.” 🤔
Should fit in well with some of the others recruited! 😎
Re: Myles Peart-Harris
I do not know much about him, but at least he has played in the Championship for both Swansea and Oxford. He is young and versatile - been playing at number 4 and 8, both wings and as a number 10.
Looks like a signing like Castledine - so I hope both players can play a part this season. The same goes for Jeremy Sarmiento, too. I hope one or two of the three really clicks and have a good season for us.
Up the Boro!
BTW, the training kit was shown now when the players were back for training. As well as when Myles was introdused.
Does anyone know when the new kit will be shown? It must be soon with the first match played at Celtic in a fortnight.
Up the Boro!

I can hear the comments already, we could have played until midnight and still not scored. 😂😎
