No Crooks in the team today. Is he injured? I wonder who will take his slot. McNair or Dijksteel? utb
We can probably play some financial games and not count loan players as part of the 22 million although some has possibly already been spent on Forss....
thanks @Andy R I couldn't have put it better myself. The club has a plan. We've got a bagful of good youngsters coming through and the longer term...
I wonder exactly what CW and the team have learnt from tonight’s match. The team they picked was massively inexperienced and he wasn’t prepared to ris...
The club has committed itself to this new recruitment model and economically it makes perfect sense. The challenge is to strike the right balance betw...
@pedro de espana There may be a question about Fry’s fitness to start but McNair was only missing due to his red card at Preston, wasn’t he? I had...
What odds Fry or McNair coming into the team in place of Bola with maybe a reshuffle at the back. I’m also curious whether both McGree and Giles wil...
Great intro. Many thanks. I think that it’s reasonable to assume that Akron and Forss are likely to start against QPR. The big question must be t...
@jarkko according to the local Norwich newspaper, BG has a calf injury and should be back playing soon. UTB
Maybe not perfect example oF long term planning as the reported price is quite high although still relatively small compared to the cost of successful...
He appears to be a really exciting prospect. This is a perfect example of the progressive transfer policy that the club is supposed to be trying to pu...
A lot of solid common sense from a number of correspondents. Firstly, recruitment may have been delayed but there is not one acquisition that I...
It would be nice to think that this might happen, @Jarkko. I had thought the same thing but didn't dare to forecast it. Do we know whether he was in...
That makes two of us. I also came down with Covid this week so the season will start with quarantine. Not feeling too bad so far and I remain pretty p...
Fail, how can we now that the Forss is with us. Sorry about that but he certainly seems to have genuine pace and an eye for goal. The only real ques...
Looking at the finalised transfers and striker transfer targets - and assuming that Wilder has signed off on all acquisitions - it seems to me that th...
Great intro. I’m feeling positive. 2-1 Boro. Goals from McGree and Crooks. utb
Boro playoffs as long as Giles and Jones stay fit. For me they are the key to Wilder’s structure with McGree, Tavernier and Crooks capable of scoring ...
Replacement for somebody perhaps?
Wilder said that it was precautionary and he would have played if it had been a championship game. utb
Shame about Mooy. HE’s a quality player. I wonder if MFC are in some ways in an equivalent position to the Jackie Charlton annus mirabilis. Do we need...
It will be interesting to see if he is taken to Portugal. utb
Returning this section to its original heading of "the 2022/23 season" - as distinct from transfer issues which are in the "Wilder squad building' sec...
I thought that McGoldrick might be seen as a reliable 'out' ball for the defence. When I've seen him it looks as if he was able to hold up the play un...
i very much agree. Dijksteel is a really solid defender who perhaps needs to improve his attacking options. It may be thought by the club that he will...
Apparently - per Teessidelive - Connor Malley also left this summer. I have to agree that this summer really revolves around two new strikers. One a...
Thanks Werder. The anticipation can be as much fun as the actual season, particularly when one spots a possible acquisition or a player who is about...
Looks that way to me. Boro have made their demands reasonably clear and are refusing to be bullied. I don’t fully understand bloggers who have for som...
What a great choice. With Leadbitter and Cattermole both working for the MFC Academy, any opponents are taking their life in their hands. It will be i...
My pleasure.
