Jelle Vossen

Curses! Although Boro have as much chance of meeting FFP targets as I have of marrying the Queen. (One assumes).

You'd be surprised, I reckon.

They've not spent a huge amount in recent seasons, Steve Gibson is a shrewd operator and their attendances have been on the rise.

Looks practically empty on the Football league show.

Well, yeah. But their stadium is pretty big. When I say on the rise, I mean creaping up towards the 20k mark, when it's been hovering around 11-13 over the past few years. I might be talking nonsense, though!

Ignore me, I'm clearly talking bollocks! I was sure I'd seen an article or a feature in the media saying that the fans were coming back to the Riverside this season.

As you were...

Riverside - classic case of building too big perhaps. Discounting outerlying catchment area the population of 'boro' itself is only 143k compared to our 250k for Brighton/Hove (discounting outerlying catchment area).

And the BHA catchment area is huge.

Indeed, correcting myself, the popn of Brighton/Hove is now 273k and expected to rise by another 40k in the next decade.

The Dutch winger they've just signed is quoted as justifying his move as follows:

"it's a good club AND A BEAUTIFUL PLACE" !!!

Apparently we have no need to sell to meet ffp, surprisingly. Few bids in. The last few days for adomah all turned down.

We'll see. Kike, Bamford & Vossen is pretty potent (maybe the best striker line up in the Championship) and seemingly expensive, if you manage to stay within FFP rules then the business you've done this summer will be even more impressive.

are that not loans so just a % of wages to pay, if anything.

Yanic Wildschut is the player to watch. Unfortunately, I would not like to see him on the other side. Especially if we need three points in the last game of the season ordinary (excluding play-offs).
