Boro's squad does look the longest in the league But I don't know if the likes of de roon, turner, adama, Forshaw and friend will be there next season?

There is the problem, that team on paper could / should be good enough to do well in this division yet they either stink the place out or don't want to know.This sums up the malaise that has become this football club and until we deal with this we will continue to under achieve and under perform.
Boro seem to be doing what we (Newcastle) did last season. Spend a lot on some good proven Championship players, and gamble on an immediate return to the top flight.I thought you would have done more business by now, that the reports of little available cash was just pre-transfer window posturing by the club so you had a stronger negotiating position, but do you think you'll have to sell before you buy?If so, who are you going to sell that will give you plenty of cash, but won't damage your promotion bid too much?
I would want rid of:Top priority- Richards (who on earth wants him)- Elphick (hopefully is going) - Gabby (see Richards)- Veretout (for the money - we're trying to sell)- Amavi (ditto)Next priority - Bacuna (not sure who'd want him)- Gardner (but Bruce does seem to like him)- Hutton (don't think he'll go)- Maybe Tshibola just because something's obviously wrong there - McCormack (but only for a good fee which I doubt we'd get)
