We appear to be about to sign a Brentford B team player: Alex Gilbert. Primarily a left winger but can play central. Rather than go to a tribunal (...

I think he was suggested by our South American network. Same person who suggested Muniz.

Sky must have heard that I'm doing the match preview on Diasboro 🤣

@original-fat-bob I really like that player training kit.

@original-fat-bob Link about James Trafford on The 72. They reckon Man City are looking to sell him for around £6m. Feel ambivalent about that. ...

You will have seen my wife there as well. She was buzzing when she got back. Tickets were way too pricy for me.

@jarkko That is a promising piece. It would be great if Brynn could make the step up but it would a bit of a gamble. We had several seasons in a row w...

There's an interview with Chuba Akpom by the excellent Boro Breakdown podcast on youtube There's clearly a don't ask, don't tell policy about wh...

@werdermouth Alex Mowatt was reliably said to be on more than £20K per week and we would have paid all that. It's widely held that we were paying a...

I actually think we'll be competitive on wages this season with the parachute clubs. Leeds, Leicester and Southampton have all got massive financial e...

@werdermouth Tom Ince is a hard no from me. Wrong age, wrong character. Gustavo Hamer is highly likely to be Premier league bound. Would love it ...

I think Anderssen is a really good shout. Their captain and, I think, is in his last 12 months. Way too good for league one. Could be next season's Le...

On that front. Looking at Leicester's squad for next season they have the following players whose contracts last beyond the next 12 months GKs: Dann...

Agreed. It's tempting to compare it to the last 10 games of the previous season under Wilder where there was a similar drop off. In that case, though,...

It's just churnalism. Craig Johns is clearly under contract to write two articles a day, day-in, day-out. Without press conferences and match reports,...

I don't really know. He's been around for a while and definitely has a good track record. To be honest, I suspect that he will join Southampton on a f...

I agree with this. I think this was Akpom's breakthrough season. It took him longer than most but he has had, as you say, a very unsettled career. I d...

@k-p-in-spain Yeah, that does look like I'm contradicting myself. What I was trying to say is that in the first games under Wilder he looked like a...

I'm starting to think that Giles might be, in cricketing terms, a "flat-track bully." Since Christmas he only managed assists in two games: home again...

Agreed. I reckon our recruitment has improved each window for the last three windows and now we don't have Wilder or Warnock throwing a tantrum each t...

I thought I would ask Bing who we should buy... Here are some football players that Middlesbrough football club could buy this summer: Goalkee...

Werder usually does his Excel spreadsheet but in advance of that. After all the loanees leave or return and factoring out players whose contracts ar...

@martin-bellamy Genius! Here's what Bard said... (Bard appears to be living in the past) Middlesbrough vs Watford Preview Middlesbrough are set ...

Werder might be able to do some sort of WordPress magic to automate a match posting 48-72 hours before it is due. Other than that, if there's a few...

Just to add my 2p worth and say that the openers have been great but are a massive amount of work. My suggestion is that the thread opener doesn't nee...

Well, got out of my wi-fi black hole just in time to hear the last agonies. Obviously, I have nothing to say about the game. A disappointment but not ...

Another excellent Opener From Bob. Sadly for me, I have a long-standing engagement on Wednesday evening and will need to have alerts switched off. N...

Something we've not seen under Carrick: a defensive master-class. Ok, slightly over-stated but that was our most complete defensive performance under ...

@powmillnaemore I like the idea. Hadn't realised my predictions were so bad though. My crystal ball needs retuning.

I went back and did the same Boro 4th-6th. (Lot does depend on our remaining recruitment though) Auto: Norwich, WBA (Though this could be the ye...
