Deadline was tonight i believe so we either get a BOMBA tonight or move on.
This is a really fucking stupid question - and one I should know the answer to - where did all this BOMBA stuff come from? Did I miss a meme somehow?

surely there are other good RWB available in the market, the only issue is HG
And the price it would cost we ain’t getting another RWB Home grown or not for anything like 15-29m which will have a knock effect on potential big spending on a central defender

Think most are getting a bit ahead of themselves thinking we’re moving on to other targets. It’s likely to happen and Spence’s side will begin putting more pressure on Boro to ensure he gets on the plane.
That being said, I wouldn’t imagine Conte would be too disappointed if we went for a different target.

Just skimmed through the Middlesbrough forum like another poster earlier said.

Their ITK guy is adamant it’s all agreed, even doubling down on the announcement will be tomorrow and then their own business can begin.

Think we’ll know either way in the next 24 hours

Talksport just announced we have agreed to Middlesboro's asking price 15 million with add ons to take it to 20 mil.

EDIT Dont shoot the messenger
Quoting transfer news from Talksport, jeez...

I'll let you off Bulletspur as it's your birthday and you've clearly had a few shandies ;-)

Of all the players linked Spence was the one I was least excited about. I like his physique and his athleticism but he seems to really lack on the technical side which ironically is what people moan most about with Emerson. Technically gifted wing backs is what makes contes system thrive.

I do understand it from a HG perspective though and also the fact that he will improve under conte and is young. Could potentially be the next Walker it's just I'd personally prefer a more complete player right now.

This whole saga just reminds me of the Saido “little bear” berahino transfer saga. I feel so bad for him as he just completely fell apart after west brom screwed him out of a move and exiled him from the team

Completely agree. We are 1 injury away from just Lucas off the bench , we 100% need a decent 6th attacking option, UNLESS the plan is Perisic can cover if needed and we will therefore be keeping Reggi & Sess so if that happens we aren’t short at LWB.

In an ideal world we bring in a Maddison type who can play in a midfield 3 or as one of the tucked in n.o10’s.

But this is the Spence thread so back to that and let’s hope this gets done very soon so he can join up with Korea. ?

Bang on mate. Would love Maddison or similar.

Hopefully this is just some final posturing from Gibson, and we get it over the line. I’m not sold on Spence mind, but he’s affordable (relative to others, such as Singo), HG, and has the physical attributes to be a success in the Prem.

I still see Doherty as our starting RWB, which pleases me because he was very good in the second half of the season prior to the asshat named Matty Cash injuring him.
Could be posturing from us rather than Gibson. Maybe we're putting word out that we're moving on to put pressure on them to accept. It could explain why Boro ITK think it's happening, maybe they know their end they will accept our offer.

Yes also had a look, apparently Spense wasn't at training today. They are debating if it will be Spence or Johnson that is gone 1st, so from their end it looks done. To be honest, if its not done tomorrow then I hope our ITk about us moving on is correct.

Completely see where you’re coming from although victor Moses wasn’t technically gifted and he was phenomenal for Conte… just sayin.

Just skimmed through the forum myself and looks like the peasants are on the verge of revolting against the ITK if incorrect ?

Lots of reputations in tatters here this evening as Spence still not sold despite definitive assurances from forum members that he would be. T-Cider came and went like a firework, dazzling us with his beauty but fizzling out all too soon. Diggerlad is desperately trying to repair his reputation with the outrageous suggestion that Spence wasn't at training today, and we wanted two strikers signed sooner rather than later. Mungosmam or whatever she's called running out of things to take guesses about.

Because no one can understand what the fuck Gibson is playing at. It’s pathetic what he’s doing. Everyone wants him sold
