Middlesbrough FC 'aiming' to prise Sheffield United-linked winger Lewis Dobbin from Aston Villa

Boro have been named as admirers of Dobbin, who would arguably be a shrewd addition for any Championship club with their sights set on promotion.

He is under contract at Villa Park until 2028 and Middlesbrough will therefore have to pay a decent fee for his signature.

Well we paid £10m I would take £15 with add- on

[Brazilian Villain]

Don't sell him until Boro are flush with the Hayden Hackney cash.

[PaulWinch again]

I would be using him to try and sign Hayden Hackney.

There’s a fair bit of money in outgoings if all goes to plan:

Barrenechea
Dobbin
Guessand
Malen
Bogarde
Garcia
Ned
Bailey

Hundred million there maybe?

Big wages gone as well with Sancho, Elliott, Malen already off the payroll.

£8m and give up the sell on clause on Rogers.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Something tells me they won't be up for that deal.

We let them have Azaz for feck all, don't do it again.

The market is going to be super inflated this year.  Good on one hand but means we might struggle to sign the ones we want.

Why do you think that?

Not sure it is. There is a case that it might be the opposite.

Even the likes of Man City and Man Utd will have constraints in how much they can spend. Man City have just committed to >£100m on Anderson, they won't be able to buy several players at that price. Every time a player goes for big money the chances of more transfers of that ilk go down, not up.That leaves maybe 3 clubs in British and European football than can spend that much on a single player. Everyone else is tight for FFP and will be trying to keep spending and wages down.

[sid1964]

We need to sell the likes of Dobbin - he and a fair few others will never play a premier league game for us - sell get a fee

Reports that the Emerson Royal deal is getting close;

Seem to be a few rumours around that we're looking at Sofyan Amrabat as well.
