Everytime we sign a player there is a hell of a lot of moaning about our spending and how it isn't fair etc etc. Wednesday fans in particular like a whinge.

Wednesday should consider themselves lucky they played us before we were properly tooled up.

Traore apparently on his way to Muddlesboro :

Adama Traore: Middlesbrough close in on signing of Aston Villa winger

Boro are hopeful to completing a deal to sign Aston Villa winger Adama Traore.


"The 20-year-old Spanish youth international is understood to be travelling to Rockliffe Park on Tuesday evening ahead of contract talks and a medical on Wednesday.

Traore moved to Villa Park from Barcelona in August 2015 for an reported fee of £7m but endured a frustrating campaign last season.

Highly-rated and boasting an electric turn of pace, Traore suffered a broken foot in January but is fully fit and ready to resurrect his career at Boro " .


How many players are trying to " resurrect their career's" during this transfer window??..............Godzvilla!

Whatever the deal is for him I hope we insist on a 50% sell on clause.

Abdoul Ba - Mauritius international - 6ft 7😮

Yep, it's all relative. I bet there were plenty moaning about Wednesday when they were in the 3rd division the other year.

What is our total spend now. I've actually lost count. Must be past 50 now, or at least potentially with all the add ons.

By my reckoning, and not including add ons, we've spent £42.5m and sold £12.1m.

We did need another striker and now we've got one. I can't see what the problem is.

Nor me. I'm baffled.

The previous owner didn't spend and we moaned.
Our new owner has brought proven championship quality and supporters are still moaning.

What do some people actually want!!??

Some need a punch in the Fucking face

Bit harsh but I know what you mean.

Im just excited we are moving in the right direction and Tony is delivering the cash. Onwards and upwards.

On the one hand i'm glad we're rebuilding the team, but what we are spending is obscene for this level and i'm not going to be hypocritical about us spending more money than just about any other club in the division can ever dream of, having spent years moaning about Chelsea, Man City etc doing exactly the same thing.
