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.

‘Marquee’ meaning top class talent comes from the old travelling show days when circuses or other travelling shows used to perform in big tents - marq...

Sorting out the goalkeepers, Johnny H’s contract, even a new centre half, it all feels all a bit like the starters you get before the main course. Thi...

I suppose that it depends on how he sees his chances of picking up another two year contract somewhere else. He was unlikely to get a game under Wilde...

The suggestion in the paper is that he is seen as a long term candidate for no 1 position and a season playing in the Scottish top division will be th...

Simple question for the brains trust. Why wasn't the Wood deal to Swansea structured as a season long loan?We could have put in an option to buy at,...

Fair comment Jarkko. How do people feel about Adam Armstrong. I think that he would be a tremendous season loan ideally with an option to buy. utb

20mill is exactly the price that I was hoping for and represents a great bit of business. I’ll be surprised if anyone has anything negative to say eve...

There's an interesting article by Craig Johns in which he writes about Gary Neville's comments regarding Boro and other major Northern clubs and their...

Thanks @Andy R very helpful to have this thought starter. I would add a couple of names in Sol Brynn and particularly Zack Hemming. Brynn was bro...

.....I'm also worried that Fulham will have celebrated winning the Championship a bit too much and will be very much in holiday mode for their last ga...

Well, it's Forest who should end up 3rd unless they're overtaken by Huddersfield. I honestly think that Forest expected to contunued their great run a...

We all deserve a B Phil; Boro Philia.
