RE: Boro's squad starts to shape up

I can’t see Tavernier going anywhere. I don’t think he has the numbers to attract a big transfer fee and I don’t see us accepting anything other tha...

@selwynoz I thought we paid £7m and that his release clause was £18m.

@original-fat-bob That little run and pass through to Fjortoft on Juninho's debut wasn't bad!

Peltier a surprise but good to see Morsy back and great to have Tavernier ready and playing.

I’d be happy to accept a decent offer for McNair to be honest. We paid £5m I think. If we can get that back I’d take it. Any more is really good bus...

£2.5m for left back cover seems too much to me as well, even if it’s also left wing cover. Tav, Watmore, Jones and Ameobi can all operate at left wi...

No Tav or Watmore in the squad and I fear Spence has been shoved out on the right wing again. Gulp.
