What like sign Bong, and Rosenoir as cover, with Calde and Chicksen as back-up, and get Ridgewell on loan.

I'm being persistent: apologies. He's got 40+ caps already, so was he really being overlooked by Belgium? I'm just of the view that, increasingly, out-and-out forwards of quality are getting rarer, hence their value rises accordingly (and they're already playing in the most valuable position)...

Do you still think that about Lukaku? He looks awesome to me -- pace, power, strength, height, movement, goals, age on his side; that rare breed these days, someone that can lead the line on his own.

You might have said that about De Bruyne and Lukaku, but they didn't even insert a sell-on fee. Which looks a bit stupid now.

He's left-footed, so might be able to slot in at left back, which is the only achievement that matters, isn't it?

Thanks for the link. Was in Brighton actually (and I can't get the wow site to go back beyond 24 hours). My experience of it was that it was one of the coldest I've encountered in Brighton, but those figures seem to suggest otherwise.

I haven't subliminally accepted life in the Championship next season, but it remains the most likely option. In terms of defence, I don't think we'll need to do too much if we remain in the Championship. I think both Bruno and Greer will be good for another season, the former especially. And...

While I've got you, and I know it's a one for a different thread, but just how cold was it when I was walking home on Tuesday evening about 11?

Just so you could understand what's going on in transfer windows? To make millions? RE the former: the club under Bloom have made it clear (and constantly verify this claim) that all transfers are between the player and the two clubs, alongside their representatives. It's not going to change in...

Yes, it now seems that we have Ridgewell, Bong, Rosenoir, Calderon and Chicksen that can play left back. Time to ship Chicksen out, and FORGET ABOUT bringing another left back in.

Would prefer we restricted it to the striker and two wingers, and concentrated on better quality (i.e. higher cost/wages).

Think it was 2.25m euros, but I'm off (see previous): :)

Put it a slightly different way, if we got our hands on Blackman for £3m, we'd be delighted. For a player heading towards the peak of his career, topping the goalscoring Championship parts, with pace and skill, it's an absolute bargain. I can only surmise that those who don't think it is haven't...

You've missed the point: CH said that Bong will be back early Feb, Rosenoir back late Feb. Ridgwell is with us until mid-Feb.

Some guy in the bus queue post-Boro was saying that he'd met up with David Burke the previous night. He said (before it was announced) that Fulham, Bolton and Blackburn would be hit by FFP, and also that Boro had some special deal with Chelsea (probably a Karanka-Mourinho link) to develop...
