Maybe we're just sitting on the £20m+ and crossing our fingers for the interest rate rise due soon.
It's just a thought really buddy, in fact I'd say transfer chat is more akin to the type of stuff we should be chatting about on here rather than the constant political threads. Your point is fair, I just thought it was an interesting observation that a bit of the early season optimimism on here at least seems to have wainedHonestly, reading some of the posts on here about lack of transfer movement. Its like those people want an Amazon Prime of transfers (next day delivery). Just chill. If it happens, so be it, if it doesn't, ah well. It cannot be affected by whatever is said by us lot on a message board.
He doesn't look daft at all. Not at all.I have a negative feeling too, ever since Akpom was brought back in that shows things aren't going well.
If we see Ikpeazu back involved, you know we're knackered.
CW said we're close so if nobody comes in before QPR, he looks daft, regardless if its on him or not, he's the one in front of the camera saying signings are close.
But majority of Boro fans take hear from these people or even know they exist. They see CW as the manager, the bloke who said new signings are close and then another game goes by without them. I get it, you get it, alot of people don't.He doesn't look daft at all. Not at all.
The people informing him do.
To be fair pal I don't think Wilder looks daft, I think he has been miss lead, and by that I mean someone has made these things sound closer than they are. For me the club can't help they way the market is, however, we were too quick to sell Tav on the face of it. Selling him was correct, but with everyone else holding their players until things are sorted with incomings I can't see why we don't do the same, that is the side of it I don't understand, we leave ourselves short when others aren't prepared to do the same.But majority of Boro fans take hear from these people or even know they exist.

He doesn't look daft to me, i didn't mean that. I just meant to majority of non board members, those fans who aren't on socials, older generation perhaps, its Wilder who said we're close and if they dont come he's the face of the club thats why i think he's always better off saying absolutely nothing, no comment, can't say, direct the journalists to those on the board or Scott, Gibson etc deflect it away from him that way if/when transfers dont happen, it isnt on him - not that it ever was, but you know what i mean.To be fair pal I don't think Wilder looks daft, I think he has been miss lead, and by that I mean someone has made these things sound closer than they are.

Spot on - same old story every summer. Filled with a load of promise and in the end we don’t pull it off or the signings we do make are panic buys which don’t cut the mustardProblem is year after year it is said still time in the window. And frequently we end the window with panic/ no buys. That is why it is easy to be sceptical.
Its ok saying the markets hard at the moment but we have failed to lure transfers season after season this is nothing new in fact many posters on here predicted it coming. Theres an innate failing at the club it's far more than current difficult market conditions. The fact that manager after manager have made really bullish statements early on only for them to be unfilled makes me feel someone at the club is making false promise
I grew up in Harrogate (well wetherby but close enough), dad from boro so I inherited boro, growing up round there it was mainly leeds players in the area living in Linton. I saw ince in Harrogate on the stray walking his dog, schwazer was there and Southgate lived near Harrogate and Boetang lived in Bardsey next door to an old mate of mine. But after the heady prem days there seemed to be less and less living around the area. Or maybe the just weren't as recognisable lolHave to agree it's the same feeling as we have every year , Groundhog day.
We have tried really hard but ran out of time (again), 20 mil in the bank thanks very much.
As for location etc, the training grounds 40 to 50 odd miles from Harrogate/Bardsey area where many footballers live.
