Boro maxed out on the Spence add-ons, the £12m original fee inflating to £20m given Spence's first team and European Championship appearances and Engl...

Welcome back, Dormo. Great to know that you are up for the new season and look forward to your words of wisdom.

Absolutely brilliant, Werder. You could write an instruction manual and it would still be hilarious, such is your talent with words. it reminds ...

Looking forward to your contributions Billog. Let's hope we don't see too many Bill ogs from Ayling during the season

@philip-of-huddersfield OK, so where were we? Any advance on the £1m we have yet to receive ?

A huge tick for Lankshear. A great goal, and excellent all-round performance from a likeable, mature and thoroughly professional young man. As Phil...

@mw-in-darwin and Jarkko Thanks both. A great start. 3 already moved on. Ideally another 8 or 9 still to go either in the bargain basement or f...

Jarkko rightly noted:   "And yes, if Vitek is coming, we need to ship out at least four to five players. Dieng, Munroe (on loan), Borges/Ban...

Which we already possessed ,of course.  

So sorry to hear such sad news, Jarkko. All our thoughts are with you and your family.

Always love your starters, Selwyn. They are so thoughtful and well composed. What is great about them is that they are so full of original takes and i...

@clive-hurren I just hope that once it's done Powmill doesn't have to be called Marion.  

I went over to 'Getting started as a new member' on the assumption that it might have been a new thread devoted to monitoring Powmill's rehabilitation...

I've had that procedure myself. It wasn't the camera I was worried about, as much as the tripod and crew. Good luck Powmill

@powmillnaemore Best of luck with the procedure on Monday, Powmill.

Welcome, Rob. I do hope you are still lurking

@clive-hurren Under normal circumstances, that's the kind of situation where I would be happy to step in, but I'm tied up with other issues that we...

Thanks for doing this for all of us, Andy. I have said I will contribute whenever I can, but that isn't very helpful to you, so if you put me down f...

@jarkko Thanks Jarrko, a really interesting piece on Berhalter. You could scarcely get a more positive set of recommendations, both personal and pr...

Thanks, yet again, Werder for all of your behind-the-scenes work on our behalf. This is from an appreciative ignoramus who understood scarcely a word ...

Some really promising developments. I'd like to see Browne come back since he offers cover for so many positions in addition to his resilience and exp...

@johnny-canuck Good interesting post, Johnny. Many thanks

The thing that has always struck me most about Lankshear is not so much his goals but that he is a proper centre-forward, an imposing physical presenc...

Andy I'm a bit of a sick note myself at the moment, but I will try and pick up any matches going spare as and when they occur. If we get stuck it mi...

You would have thought that any analysis of last season would have concluded that defensively and in midfield we were pretty solid with a great deal o...

Just catching up. So sorry to hear about your situation, Bob. Do keep us updated and best of luck over the next few weeks.

@pedro Good post. Thanks

Best wishes, Clive. Hope it all goes well. I have to say that I am astonished that Boro have allowed Fry's contract to run down so that he could now...

Best wishes, Bob and Powmill. Hope things go better over the next few weeks, and that you can both look forward to the new season
