Great work, Werder đź‘Ź đź‘Ź
@werdermouth No worries, Werder - it's an absolute minefield out there and I've no doubt that the method will work. I had no issues navigating thro...
Regarding the current state of the squad, our prospects for next season and longer term sustainability, it's a mixed bag for me. The current squad i...
@werdermouth No issues following that Werder - nice one. Only query is whether that registration process is more complicated than usual for a for...
@werdermouth Great work Werder - thanks as ever!
@powmillnaemore Looks like Boca Juniors to me - clearly we're trying everything we can to get the best from Payero. Like it. A lot.
@malcolm I think I know what’s going on. Clearly the Boro hierarchy are keen for Akpom to repeat last season’s heroics so they’re taking no chanc...
@pedro A lot of those salaries look reasonable to me. Notable exceptions are Fry, Bola and Giles which all look much too low. Of course Bola and ...
@k-p-in-spain I still think there's some legs in Giles returning. Wolves are suffering from FFP issues and are selling players at a rate of knots: ...
If there was truth in any rumours re Nathan Wood (I haven't heard them tbh) or he was seen as a bad egg, it's strange that he was offered a two year c...
@philip-of-huddersfield I don’t really know how well Wood did last season (though playing 40 games is a sure sign that he didn’t do badly) but this...
@gt The only area we seem to be overstocked in is goalkeeper to my mind. It doesn’t look like someone will have to leave for financial reasons - ...
Going into the summer the holes in the squad seemed to be at Goalkeeper (Steffen), left back (Giles), centre mid (Mowatt), attacking midfield (Ramsey)...
I like the QPR player rumours. Dieng has long been one of the division's better keepers and Willock I think is comparable to McGree. I'd add Ilias C...
@philip-of-huddersfield I just read it as releasing cash flow. The money is coming in from Bournemouth but the club have decided to release it all ...
Right... Please ignore the earlier table and use the one below, with Powmill-Naemore (PN) added as requested. Excel attached for those that can ac...
@original-fat-bob No worries Bob - I think you did email me a while ago but it’s slipped through the net. I’ll redraft the table at some point to...
@powmillnaemore Whoops. Not sure, maybe I missed you. Happy to make amendments if you’d like to be included?
All, Many thanks to OFB for reaching out to those of you who expressed an interest in writing match previews. Also, huge thanks for those who have s...
@exmil I thought McNair had his second best season in a Boro shirt last season (the previous season in Wilder's back three being his best). perhaps...
Good to hear from you, Ken. I’ll be with you in spirit roaring on England in The Ashes.
@deleriad Good post. Leicester’s squad looks seriously scary on paper but it won’t be the one that kicks off the new season. Re Vardy, the proble...
@k-p-in-spain You could cut it a slightly different way: include the playoff games but discount the 3 x dead rubbers to give a sense of how we did ...
Perhaps this is for a different thread as we look back on the season past, but thought it was worth breaking the season down into chunks to see how we...
I think Boro’s prospects next season might be better served by Luton going up, as I can see Coventry losing a few key players over the summer if they ...
@pedro Coventry did give the league a head start as well but theirs was a little bit different - they didn’t play their opening three home games du...
@gt If Carrick had been in all season we may have finished second. If Ramsey and Archer had been in all season we may also have finished second. ...
