Hearing from a couple of boro fans that Ben Gibson singing for Southampton in the next day or two. Hope it's true.

So he'll be at Liverpool in two years.

Paul Joyce (as has been said), and Andy Hunter are the only two journo’s worth taking note of.
Occasionally the club feed something to The Echo.

Yes, we know what journos we used to use, but whos to say Brands wont have his own people?

I beg to differ, certainly didn't excel in a poor team when I saw him. They could only win when Zaha played

We only won when Roy was manager. He's a worldy too.

Woy? I doubt he can give a lot of minutes on the pitch now.

I mean we probably will have the same people, I recall seeing an interview with Silva with Joyce, Hunter and the usual suspects, these will probably be our press boys go to and trusted people and we still have the same dude.

A classic case of dispite of rather than because of perhaps?

If Paul Joyce says something is happening then it is.

He’s very quiet at the moment. Make of that what you will.

Joyce, hunter or bascombe. Other then that probably not.

Shambles this is. Struggling to offload. New manager been in the post weeks and no incomings.

Be lucky to get 8th this season unless they pull their fingers out.

If you think it is straightforward to "offload" underperforming players on huge contracts you are mistaken.
If you think we should buy more players to add to a bloated squad you are foolish.
Next season it maybe that we take a step back.
I don't think we will clear the deadwood in one window.
As long as we see the introduction of some younger players , a clear team pattern with attacking football and a coherent approach to player recruitment that will be acceptable for me even if we end up dropping a few places.

Did you expect clubs to be queuing up to sign our failed players? We might have to wait till deadline day to offload many of them when other clubs start getting desperate.

Blame what happend last summer when we started throwing money around without thinking!

That Lookman story in the Mirror is such a rehash of previous things. RB said that at soon as the season finished. Since then Brands has said he really likes him and wants him in the first team. Obviously they don’t use those quotes though...
