Monaco interested in Latte Lath
- Thread starter Block21
- Start date
“Boro have already bolstered their forward line this summer with the capture of Delano Burgzorg, who can play up-front, as a No.10 or off the left. They are keen on bringing in another centre-forward but only if they can strike a deal for a player who's been identified as their top target.”
Wonder who the top striker target is then? I doubt it’s archer due to the finances involved

Well he’s scored consistently for two seasons but yes, nobody would pay that unless he did it for a year in the problem

I thought everyone - club included - said it was about quality recruitment this summer, first team ready to go for top two?
We have work to do to bring them in, not undermine things by flogging our own quality.
This obsession with some of grasping profits and identifying more cheap bargains to rinse and repeat is crazy.
Buy to develop and flip for profit is fine, but surely the real objective is to get promoted and stay there, not flip players to cover inevitable ongoing championship losses.
Morris might well prove very good, I'm glad Ayling has been secured, Burgzorg might provide some cover, but we need two or three high calibre recruits.
We don't want to be adding a replacement for LL to that. Or Hackney or VdB.

It's a tough one isnt it. And probably why the club pay KS to get it right and dont look for advice on these forums... :p

It's not an obsession. It's what the club have stated they are trying to do.
And I assume it is FAR more nuanced than any of us can grasp as outsiders looking in.

Where did you see the Burzorg fee Mart? I had wondered what he'd cost but not seen anything other than undisclosed? I had hoped he'd been buttons as he was unwanted.

Problem is as we have seen with some players if their head is turned its difficult to keep an unhappy player.
Drive him there myself, etc

I saw it mentioned in a couple of places at the time, press not just social media posts. Personally I felt that sounded a bit high, but maybe that’s with add ons?!
KS has talked about this before. It's not easy to stand in a player's way if a good offer comes in for them. If big clubs come in for our talent and big numbers start get thrown about then Boro will need to listen. Players want to play in the top leagues and earn the top money.
"He came in and you could see flashes of what he could be. He had some games where he was indifferent and then games when he was top-class. That's what you get with young players. We played Aston Villa in the FA Cup and they witnessed him during a little golden patch where he was starting to put it together.
"They've obviously done their work preparing for us, saw him, and liked him. I think Aston Villa were top of the league at that time and when a big club like that comes to the table, it was really difficult to bat it away. We tried. We didn't roll over. But in the end money talks, the boy is an Aston Villa fan, there's the salary that comes with it... It became difficult to stop him. As much as I think Morgan wanted to stay, he couldn't turn that away."
Boro's sale of Morgan Rogers and hope it will be different this summer
Morgan Rogers was sold by Middlesbrough to Aston Villa in January

Does seem a tad high, he was in his last year at Mainz wasn't he? After an unexceptional loan with rumours of falls out with coaching staff. Seems a decent chunk.I saw it mentioned in a couple of places at the time, press not just social media posts. Personally I felt that sounded a bit high, but maybe that’s with add ons?!
We've also brought in Crooks's fee (anywhere between £1m and £4m depending on what you read), Coulson for a minimal fee and released McNair.
Collectively I would think McNair / Crooks / Rogers / Coulson would be earning significantly more than Azaz / Morris / Burgzorg / Hunt so we should have reduced our wage bill as well.
I think we are well in the black with our transfer dealings in 2024. No sign of the summer war chest. The FFP headroom is there but the headroom is a credit limit. Just because we can spend, doesn't mean we will.

agreed, the timing of when to "go for it" is difficult, yes I've heard it likened to a credit limit, before, I don't quite agree with that though, it isn't household finances. If teams are building up a headroom, then go for it, they will likely have significant more resources available than those wh don't. It's a gamble but you don't win if you don't bet. The clubs finances are in good shape right now, so using that FFP rather than wasting it seems fairly prudent. I think there will be two more signings, with Dijksteel and Hoppe leaving. Then it's a case of keeping FFP headroom available in case we need a january acquisition to push us over the line.
