Random one but totally forgot morgan whittaker went to boro, done absolutely nothing
Farke for some reason actually has some pull for German players.I wonder why we weren't keen on Stach. Not African?
If these are the two CB identified, dont bugger about...go get them.Maybe a chance at lucumi and diakite then if we’re bidding for both![]()

Tbh if we were gonna have pull over the French market or the German market I’d probably pick France. I love Germany and Germans but there seems to be so much value out of France
Xhaka was never likely but I do wonder if we intentionally leaked it out in the media to encourage other perspective signings.
We cooking something bigger…
Cannot see the club taking the piss the way its run at the moment. Its probably agents telling the players they can get moreOn the Neil and cirkin thing, while they probably don’t warrant (or tbf expect) the same wages as £30m signings, the club needs to be very careful that they aren’t seen to be taking the piss out of the players who got us here. Remember we may need players to get us back here in 26/27 - and that becomes harder to do in a sensible way if we have a reputation for not looking after the players who take that job on.
I’m really bored of the premier league experience thingWe’re still going to be massively underrated and seen as underdogs. The other forum I’m on (which is neutral fans) seem set in their consensus that Longstaff is “by far the best signing the promoted clubs have made”. And that we’ve invested heavily in untested players and it could go horribly wrong.
Honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m embracing it.
These fans all thought we had no chance of promotion as well.. so…

I’d like maybe 1 or 2 who know the league and teams / stadiums etc for what to expect
but the prem experience thing used to come from the fact England was a physically tougher league than most, centre forwards would come and get bullied or defenders etc
but nowadays most leagues in the world are extremely physical. Especially Europe.
enzo le fee has said he found Ligue 1 more physical than the championship
yes the premier league has a higher average quality of player but there’s just as many poor players as there is decent just like any league in the world
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, all are quite physically demanding these days, football has changed
Like obviously a bloke scoring 30 goals in Holland isn’t necessarily going to get 30 in the premier league.I completely agree. I think the standard consensus of what makes a good promoted side is what’s caused promoted sides to keep getting relegated. Status quo doesn’t work.
Theyll definitely just be saying he's the best as they've hard of the restWe’re still going to be massively underrated and seen as underdogs.
