    Which 2 strikers are we bringing in:

    The squad has so much strength (barring injuries & international leave) apart from up front. As hard as Coburn tries he doesn't have that yard of pace to play in the current system, who would be your picks for 2 strikers to come in? I think we will buy 1 and loan another from the prem. I'm very...

    George Boateng

    I remember Ince coming and pushing the bar up in regards to the level of a CM...then Boateng joined and was Mustoe & Ince combined! An absolute machine. To have him now!

    Matt Crooks

    I was very surprised he got a new contract and I can see him wanting to play every week, which I don't think he will at Boro

    Lens pull out of Akpom deal

    I think the minimal interest in Akpon says a lot. He scored a huge amount of goals despite missing a few games but ultimately is a one season wonder, getting £10m + for him in his final year of contract is a great deal. Very much a confidence player with niggling injuries creeping in, last year...

    Uche Ikpeazu

    Looked him out only last week. A heart of gold but a very limited footballer, not scored much since leaving us either

    Alex Bangura

    Exciting! Giles may be an assist king but he's weak, slow and not a great defender. I think he'll get ruined at Luton in the Prem. I was hoping we were on the look out for a stronger more athletic option. We obviously want left back to be very forward thinking. I like it that Bangura looks a...

    * MFC Official: Four New Additions in Training - Portugal [V-07:55] *

    Who is the blonde kid, with the bowl haircut, 3rd from the right at the end, scores a few goals? We have a lot of "decent" nippy young unproven players but not many established top championship/experienced players Akpom (after last season), Lenihan, Howson, McNair (maybe). Maybe Fry, Crooks...

    * The Unofficial "Official"- Boro v Bristol City - Match-Day Thread *

    He needs a rest and a bog standard champ right wingbackor other squad players would offer more at the moment. He needs to reset.

    Muniz not coming on.

    I really liked the look of him before we signed him and he started brightly looking a level above what we had, however after the first few games he does looks like quite an ordinary (albeit tidy) championship player. Maybe if he got some confidence or form inside him he could be a good player...

    * The Unofficial "Official"- Boro v Bristol City - Match-Day Thread *

    I’ve never seen anything like Jones’s dip in form. It’s pretty shocking.

    Best Alcohol Free "Beers"?

    Guinness Erdinger (the normal 0% beer is fantastic) and actually got me onto their beers. Erdinger alkoholfrei grapefruit is surprisingly good.

    Matt Clarke!

    Matt Clarke, the new George Friend! MR Consistent and a fans favourite! Muniz…the next Branca?! Giles…the next Zeige… I’ve had a few now

    Muniz

    If we got Muniz & Larsen, we would have a very, very strong squad. If we added a LCB and a midfielder (I think we are trying to aim higher than than the Hannibal standard), it will be all be on Wilder to deliver. That is a seriously good, well balanced squad that should get promotion. Only...

    Wilder on Transfers

    The quality of players in WBA’s midfield & upfront by the end of the game was impressive. Dike was like the Hulk! It feels like we are going to get less established players. From Wilder’s comments it sounded like all last year’s forwards will be going, I think a few of the signings will be...

    Parrott to Preston.

    We only have 3 more loans available to bring in a LCB, 3 top strikers and 1-2 midfielders. I’m sure we will be looking to use those loans on first team/ regular starters.

    MFC: Highlights. York City 2 Boro 3 [V-10:39]

    See Wilder’s point about finishing! Should have scored far more, lacked the cutting edge.

    Bola

    I had thought he could potentially slot into that left centre back role but I always thought he was one of the guys Wilder was referring to as “unpopular” decisions he would need to make. I think he could make the step up to the prem if he found consistent form and confidence. Apparently very...

    Good old Neil W got it right about the MU game

    I would imagine the cost of our starting 11 is a fraction of theirs and not to mention the difference in wages. I think our starting line up cost less than £10m with only Payero on the bench having a transfer fee. Remarkable really.
