If we were sat 12th then it would have been sensible to sell if no contract was being signed.

Edun looked better as a midfielder if we can't find s midfielder he should be the stand in for Travis and either sign loan or sign a left back

Huge win .Buzzing

Still takes a creative player out of our team that wasn't expected. 47er will be about in a bit to tell you you are looking for an argument.

Yeah like Nyambe was...maybe he just actually has an injury?

Rothwell injured

I'm not looking for an argument and don't want to be accused of trolling again but you never responded to my earlier response. How do you explain the 14 million spent on 3 attackers within 12 months after promotion from League one? Or that they turned down a massive offer for Dack that January? The multiple players through the door in the last 5 years? The fact we have only sold two players of value within that time? I certainly don't think that they would start splashing out mega money if ffp wasn't here but I certainly don't agree that all they have done is service debt when it's clear money has been spent to try improve the team

Be a tight game.If Travis and Nyambe are back in the side then think they will struggle to score against us. 2-0 Gallagher to get on the scoresheet

No I still think a few million should be found in this window.We should be using our position in the table to our advantage. We don't agree on this but I assume Venkys would spend some money due to the fact we committed 14 million to 3 forward players in the space of a year whilst recieving 3 million back for Raya.Plus multiple other players came through the door at that point. We haven't spent much in terms of transfer fees since but 12 players came in last summer , that still cost the club.

We still brought 12 players to the club last season they didn't cost nothing.We have sold Raya and Armstrong.Covers the 3 foward signings but we have also brought in loads of other players in the past 5 years. We made roughly 10 million on Armstrong after Newcastle took their cut and what we spent bringing him here and 5 on Raya.15 million I'm in agreement that some money should be found but not many clubs are spending. The 16.6 for the training ground all that 16.6 doesn't count as profit only a portion of that is counted . We have to take the pandemic into account aswell.Only Boro and Forest have been making moves in this window. Gibson is a better owner than ours I ain't disputing that.They lost a couple of high earners off their wagebill in summer, they get higher crowds than us and have recieved more by selling players than we have in the last 5 years.

Paying a wage bill 180% to turnover and spending 14 million on 3 players without selling anyone to fund it has contributed to that too. With our current external income then our wage bill and transfer spend should be like the Luton's and Preston's of the division. Agree wholeheartedly that more should be done to bring income into the club and do think some money should be made available but can understand why we might not be able to do that and I don't see many teams throwing loads of money at the January window.Bournemouth have really been struggling of late they have done nothing apart from the young lad from Fleetwood. Even without Venkys mismanagement with the best will in the world I don't think we would be getting 20k a week through the door after ten years in the championship.

It's true that the mess is of their own making and of course I agree it is understandable why people don't go anymore with how the club is run. But the post he replied to was implying that we have brought/by time sell Brererton we will have brought £50 million into the club which isn't true. The 16.6 million paid for the training ground isn't 16.6 million profit that can be used. In 5 years we have only sold 2 first team players up until Armstrong's sale £3-£5 million recieved for Raya. We spent 14 million alone on bringing in the 3 forwards ourselves. Other clubs including Boro have sold players too and last season and season before Boros spend was minimal.

Plus we made about 10 million profit on Armstrong.Only other player of value we have sold in the last 5 years is Raya for an initial 3 million.And have recieved nominal fees for a few others. We spent 14 million alone on Gallagher, Armstrong and Brererton. Boro have sold more than 2 first teamers in the last 5 years.

I am picking no fights.Look it does piss me off a little that the side seem to be being shown little respect by some despite being where we are in the league. Like a comment describing betting on a Boro win as easy money is just nonsense in my view, judging this young team the same as the teams of old just doesn't agree with me.That doesn't mean that I disagree with every view or post the member in question has.If the way I am arguing my viewpoint is causing offence then I apologise I take on board the comments about the managers tinkering but with Travis and Nyambe available he will have no excuse to hide behind by changing the tactics that have served us so well these past couple of months. If I was having this debate/conversation in person I wouldn't appear as confrontational but unfortunately when posting on here 80% of the time I am multi tasking and doing something else so my posts are often written in haste.

O'Reillly signed for Celtic

Coral the bookmakers o I use online have us as favourites.13/8 us Boro 15/8. It's a tight game which I haven't disputed

So you agree a Boro win is a licence to print money?Boro are overwhelming favourites for the win tomorrow night?

Ok yeah fingers crossed you will be as wrong as you were prior to the season starting when you could see relegation

What for?him running Rovers down when I'd bet he hasn't watched any of Boro's games in this run

Licence to print money is a clueless remark

Licence to print money is complete and utter nonsense

Mowbray was back to his old tricks but Nyambe and Travis are back for Monday.They will be back in the side. Brererto missing is a blow.But when he was scoring earlier in the season we were outside the playoffs.The change in defence has us where we are now. My point is...Boro are not a freescoring side...31 goals this season with a top scorer with 6 goals is testament to that.It will be a close game but imo they don't have the quality in attack that our defence should be scared of.I do not think we will lose tomorrow night.

How many of Boros last 5 matches have you seen out of interest? We have the second best record at home in the league.

The thought police because I disagree with the way people are making out Boro are a brilliant side? Agree to disagree.Bookies have us as favourites tomorrow night

Never disputed?My initial comment on this was a reply to your post where you said that we don't have a chance.
