Hello all, just looked at Newsnow and although we have had a lot of rumours about us but I must say this one is a worrying one, apparently Besiktas are on the verge of signing Chris Wood! Not happy especially as it's so near to kick off on Sunday and why if we have no replacement? It's been a great summer for signings and in Radz I trust but this rumour worries me, thoughts guys. MOT

Wouldnt worry too much Mike, the Turkish rag that wrote the story claimed it was pretty much done for £6m so think its probably bull.

Cheers Gummie I didn't know that, trash rumour crap as usual hopefully then! MOT

£6m offer being reported. If Asombalonga went for £15m this should be the starting point for any offer

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 19:18:08
Pocket £20-25m for Wood. Then buy negrado for £6.4m, helander, flint, wages and its shopping done. Thank you and watch out out premier league, we're coming to get you.

Agree2 Disagree0

It's probably a retaliatory story because we were in for Negredo like they were.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 15:15:26
If asombalonga went to boro from forest for 15 million. Who barely reaches double figures each season and is injury prone If that's the market we shouldn't be selling wood for anything less than 20 million.

He barley gets into double figures in game time. Sick note.

Long time listener, 1st time caller. With all this talk of who the mystery player is being represented by RED6 (Bartley mentioned a few times. yawn. ) What would be your thoughts on Bartley+£12m in exchange for Wood and money spend on good LB, Negrado/A N Other and a back up CB?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2017 17:14:50
If we got Bartley, Negrado and £7m or so in change it would be a good deal but only if it happened now and not 3 weeks into the season, that way if Negrado isn't working out we still have time and money to bring someone else in.

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 18:03:03
Can't disagree with that, would prefer to get Negrado on loan if possible, similar to Pedraza last year. Either way, has to be sorted sharpish

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 13:58:13
With Red6 in at ER at the moment, I believe the expression for whom the Bell tolls is applicable.

Keeping with the cryptic theme, you been trawling the rumours page George? A maari afternoon to you.

Is Quasim Buoy a Red6 client. We're supposed to be signing him

Afternoon Mark

31 Jul 2017 21:45:14
Yes Mark. I'm buoyed by our recent acquisition which could leave our competitors all at sea, adrift.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 11:11:22
Anyone else think that maybe we won't be signing a centre back at all. Surely Pennington chose Leeds because he expects to be first choice along with Jansson. Why would any quality centre back come to us expecting to be sat on the bench?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2017 11:45:51
I think if we are able to get someone clearly a better long term prospect for us than Pennington who after all is on a loan, we will go for it. The priority at the back is more cover, we will be in trouble if we pick up any early injuries or suspensions.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 12:08:33
We had 3CB's last year when you think about it, 2 remain and one was unproven and loaned to us. The same could still happen this season. Positivity. If in January were bottom half due to leaky goals fill gaps then but I'm happy with pennington

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 17:18:15
Had too few CB's last year and it hurt us, Jansson will most likely get a suspension at some point again this time around and we can't just hope nobody gets injured. I like to see a depth of 2 players in every position in a squad so we need 1 more for me even if its backup.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 18:29:19
That kid we signed from Barcelona Rey is probably better than Cooper.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 10:36:45
Ayling or Cooper at centre back v Bolton ? Full backs Anita and Bearadi

Believable0 Unbelievable1

31 Jul 2017 11:43:21
Keep the same back four we started with on Saturday. No reason to change it yet, see how they work out in a league game and give them some time to build relationships on the pitch. New season, let's get off Coopers back and give him support.

Agree5 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 13:46:33
I agree. Cooper makes mistakes but so does everybody. He is 100% commited and works hard and passes forward! I think he deserves a bit more credit.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 14:07:41
I'm not going to commeny

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 17:22:35
Ayling, Pennington, Cooper (hopefully someone else if we can get a signing done in time) , Anita for me. didn't see the last friendly but from the games before we looked at our best with Ayling on the right and Anita on the left. Ayling not a CB, Cooper not Championship level.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 10:36:12
Let's say we sign Hellander and he's installed as first choice ahead of Pennington. Would you want to see Cooper kept on as backup or would you rather see him shipped out in favour of more talent in the development squad as backup? Next and bigger question: Pennington has looked really good in pre-season. Would it make more sense to have him as the first-choice we need and bring in more development squad players?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2017 17:29:36
No point in having the loan player we won't keep as first choice if we can bring in someone as good or better. As for Cooper if any of the youngsters are ready to step up then I'd sell him, never going to be a regular starter for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 08:29:55
On the Negrado v Wood debate, I I hope we stick with Wood. I think his work ethic was great last season and the amount of times he saved our bacon in defending set pieces was awesome. I just think that we will see more goals from our mid field - they all have it in them. I understand 20mil would be difficult to turn down but I have seen Wood really improve in his all round game and when his confidence is high he scores! Personally I think he is worth keeping another season. 1 in 4 from Negrado isn't enough for me!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Jul 2017 08:46:54
Agreed Wood made as many defensive clearances as he scored goals, do not sell and give him the captaincy.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 09:00:26
I'd like to think nagredo is as well as

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 11:49:02
Don't think Negrado will be as well as! If we get him I would imagine it would be to soften the blow of Wood going. It's a gamble either way for me, can Wood reproduce his form of last year vs how quickly will negrado settle and will he be fired up. Like to see the new Ejuban given a longer run out against port vale, looked quite exciting from brief glimpse on Saturday.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 13:49:22
Im not sure wood will be as good but at 31 is neggy the answer abd how will he cope in championship? Prob only got 1-2 good years left in him.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jul 2017 00:27:51
News now got us finishing 9th in their article on next season? Tad low i reckon. Not sure how the likes of villa, norwich, derby have shown anything to suggest they will finish higher. don't think mid will finish above fulham either.

It's because they think our manager is rubbish because he managed in Cyprus. We will prove a lot of people wrong this season, can't wait!
