  1. Ross Turnbull proved himself at the start of last­­ season and after one bad game southgate replaces him­­ with brad jones, i really do not understand this and­­ are sure this highly contributed to borough`s­­ relegation, southgate is fast becoming a joke letting­­ schwarzer go last season who had already proved­ himself­ to be one of the top goalkeepers in the­ premier league­ and now by coming very close to losing­ another, anyway­ good luck to Ross Turnbull in wherever­ his future lies­ and i hope that southgate comes to his­ senses very­ quickly.

  2. Yates is a highly rated yougster who could prove to b e­ a good buy and good business if we get good moey for­ downing and owen. I believe we will play with two wide­ men next season so we need Yates now we need a tall­ striker who can head a ball. Alves to go along with­ Tuncay who will leave as well.

  3. I agree with you mortgageandmoneycentre,we sell three­ home grown players for about £15m-£17m, then buy one­ for £500,000 ..... yup that certainly smacks of­ ambition

  6. Boro have no money, expect more unknown players as the­ bigger players leave.

  7. Sell one winger ( Owen ) , sell two wingers ( Downing­ ), possibly sell 3 wingers
    ( johnson ) and then buy a­ total unknown entity - good business?.
    How about­ selling the players who didnt do it at all - Alves for­ one

  8. Yeates was such a key player for Col U over the last­ few seasons that they look certain to struggle without­ him. Good bet for relegation as they have very few­ other players of any note.
