Tav

£12,000,000 from the Cherries.
Couldnt really turn that down.
Gives us more leverage.
Watch this space.
:unsure:
 
Very poor business if true. I have bad mouthed Tav on numerous occasions, but he is worth at least £15 million up front.
 
Lets hope there`s more than one phone in the office for the Management and Recruitment Team`s to get their skates on(y)
Wilder did say "one in - one out" on the Tees interview. But not sure this is quite what he imagined.

No, sorry pal, thought watch this space meant we may have something lined up. 22 million quid for 2 players must make us stable for a few seasons so if we don't we dont.

I wish we had Warwick.(y)
Its a funny old game isnt it.
We sell someone to Spurs - who hadnt kicked a ball in a Boro shirt for over 12 months - after getting a rival promoted.
Now we have a lad, who has made 150+ appearances, is only 23 and stepping into the Prem.
Perhaps that money will help us shoe-horn players through the door - but not like the cash we`ve wasted before.
My fingers are crossed for Satda.
🤞

Very true! Well be ok I'm sure. I really don't want us to just blow 30 mill on 2 strikers, I know I should just trust the club and manager but it gives me kittens lol

This can only be assessed after we've judged replacements. I hope we can bring in good quality as Tav was a key part of our system and worked incredibly hard. If we don't reinvest wisely then we've got a more difficult task 5his season.

For Tav himself he could well find himself knocking around the championship in front of small crowds after next season. I hope not but it's the downside of these sorts of moves
 
Very down this morning with this news.

I am not optimistic we can find a good enough replacement without paying well over the odds for at the very least but even if we do and I doubt it at this late stage of proceedings I find the timing of this utterly bewildering.
 
I hope to god it's hypothetical, but imagine if the club sold Tav, and sorted his replacement, as a commercial decision, without having the input of Wilder? I think that would possibly make him leave.

Tav's the ideal player for our system, and I'm starting to hope that all of this is just speculation which has got out of hand, so the below comment from three weeks ago still stands:

"I’m not expecting any other (senior) departures apart from Djed. What I would say though is that if something ridiculous did happen, then would Steve reinvest the money? Yeah, he would. The names that always get bandied around are Djed, Tav and Dael – if all of a sudden we got a £60m bid, would Steve look at it? Yeah, he would. But he’d also then be adjusting what players we were able to go for ourselves. We’d be able to go for different targets because he would want to reinvest."

1) Is £12m the same as £60m, or a ridiculous bid? No, it's way below par (for Tav, not so much for Spence)
2) They would have known Tav's aspirations early July
3) They would have known if we had any informal or contractual agreements to let Tav go if there was a Premiership bid
4) We probably would have been expecting a bit from the Prem
5) We've not even spent a penny of the Spence money yet, never mind the supposed £12m from Tav
6) There's only another month till the transfer window closes
7) They will have known Payero was not staying
8) Tav's still got 2 years on his contract

It just doesn't make much sense to me. I don't even think £20m is a ridiculous bid for a young, English, left footed, box to box CM who doesn't seem to have any doubts about his professionalism. The only way the bid is ridiculous, is that it is ridiculously low if we don't have to sell, but I'm pretty sure that's not what Wilder was getting at.

If we were certain we could attract players, and their clubs would let them go, and we went out and spent £25m on a forward and a CM, and also got in a few free loans then I could understand it far better, but we would need a good 5/6 players and for most of them to pay off. Seems a bit of a tall order to do that within a month, and if we don't the season could well be over before it's started.

I can understand Forss (albeit he's not proven) but I don't get the Hoppe thing. Hoppe played like 185 minutes last year, for a la liga team who stayed up by a point, looks like he was their 4th choice and they are probably no better than us. They also paid 3.5m for him, but seemingly already want to cash in, seems very risky.
