r/Boro

Outgoings

Morgan Whittaker, the turkish club interested in him as launched a club record bid for Aral Simsir putting a likely end to that transfer Saga.

Incomings

Victor Eriksson, speculation on his possible transfer in the coming days has cooled slightly after he started for Hammarby. I still wouldnt rule this transfer out, but it doesnt seem to be immediately impending.

Alfie Devine, it looks like Celtic are leading the chase foe the Spurs player but southampton are trying to poach the transfer now and are looking to bring him in on Loan. I suspect he wants a permenant switch so that puts Boro ahead of southampton.

Sebastien Berhalter, reports from Canada that a deal for him to join Boro has been agreed, he is still part of the US squad that faces Belgium soon and any deal is set to be announced on the conclusion of the US mens teams time in the world cup. He is currently on about £8k a week and has less than 6 months left on his contract, so hes likely to fit perfectly into Boro’s financial structure. His social media makes an interesting conclusion as he has apparently started to follow certain businesses on teesside. So it looks to be happening that we may be building a US focused team built around Morris.

Max Arfsten, same as above, it appears talks are progressing and if Berhalter also joins boro its likely we will have a triumverate of US players once the world cup journey for the US team has ended.

Club News

Training tops go on sale on Tuesday, its expected the new home shirt will go on sale by the back end of the week or by the 13th of July with previews expected early next week.

Any further updates through the evening will be dropped below.

19:30 Update

Morgan Rogers, Liverpool and Manchester United are preparing a £120m bid for the former Boro lad, with Carrick expected to be the front runner after managing him during his time at Boro. He’s still arsenal’s no.1 target and a bidding war may commence.

Outgoings

Dael Fry completes his move to Birmingham City on a free transfer reportedly accepting a contract in the £30k a week range.

Incomings

We have been linked with a string of players today all signed to the same agency as apparently the agents are in talks with the club, which can only happen if a fee has been agreed with the club of the players.

Wilson Lindberg, attacking midfielder from Hammarby

Victor Eriksson, centre back from Hammarby but a work permit may prove a problem to obtain

Casper Widdel, a younger version of Victor Eriksson who would be easier to obtain a work permit

We have also been linked with Divin Mubama, a man city youngster striker along with Derby.

Taking them into consideration if a work permit could be achieved for Victor Eriksson, he would be the obvious choice and would probably be available for in the region of £2m.

21:30 Update

Max Arsten, talks of a transfer seems to be leaking.

Outgoings

Dael Fry, a leaked photo shows him wearing a birmingham city shirt during a photoshoot. Best of luck to the lad.

Morgan Whittaker, a few turkish twitter posts are still linking him with a £15m move to Turkey

Incomings

Myles Peart Harris, becomes boro’s first signing on a free transfer

Stefan Bajcetic, his loan move to boro doesnt seem to be going away despite numerous people squashing it, it still keeps getting linked

Other news

Marcus Tavernier, linked with a move to Liverpool and as such boro are likely to pick up a sell on fee

Still no updates on the proposed 2 friday medicals. Any further updates during the evening il drop here.

Outgoings

Hackney, completes his move to Everton. £16.5m up front rising to £23.5m with achievable add ons, plus an undisclosed sell on fee. Reported by the Athletic.

Abdoulaye Kante, St Ettiene are interested in taking the player on loan for another season.

Incomings

Kacper Tobiasz, TransferMarket.com has us linked to the out of contract polish goalkeeper from Legia.

Rumours of 2 medicals on Friday, one at Rockcliffe and one in the US.

Kyle Jospeh, appears the stalling of the transfer was due to his medical records indicating he had suffered 2 ankle injuries in the last 12 months. Initially the reports were that he failed the medical on these grounds as Boro were unaware of the 2nd injury and were looking to see the progress of his recovery over the summer before sanctioning the deal. The latest rumours are that this issue has possibly been resolved between the 2 clubs and the deal may be back on now. Whether that means the financial terms have changed remains to be seen.

Club News

The lads are back at Rockcliffe and Tommy Conway is out of his support boot. There is a bright red training top doing the social media rounds that may become available soon on the club shop website. Still no news on the alledged new shirt but it seems the media team are at rockcliffe so its likely a photoshoot this afternoon is done with the shirt news released in the next few days.

Any updates through the evening il add here

16:30 Update

Myles Peart-Harris very close to signing for Boro this week. Could be the medical rumoured at rockcliffe on friday.

20:00 Update

Dael Fry is expected to turn down a contract offer for West Ham due to a lack of first team chances and sign with Birmingham City

Myles Peart Harris, will be signing for middlesbrough tomorrow on a free transfer.

20:05 Update

Kyle Joseph Transfer has collapsed after a breakdown in negotiations between Hull and Boro

Outgoings

Hackney, currently having his medical at Everton, deal expected to conclude within the next 48 hours.

Dael Fry, some rumblings of a late contract improvement from Boro, but still expected to move to West Ham

Incomings

Kyle Joseph, his medical was yesterday and his transfer was expected to complete before yesterdays deadline so Hull avoided any PSR issues. However, there appears to be a problem possibly as he held an ankle injury late in last season. Its possible his injury is worse than thought and boro are wanting to renegotiate the fees involved. Hull were forced to sell a different player close to the deadline for £2.5m to avoid PSR issues. Its still expected the Joseph transfer will go through.

Alfie Devine, did not complete an end of loan transfer to Preston and so its expected he will move to Boro or Celtic, however Wolves seem to be showing an interest. Spurs are looking for £6m for the youngster which is in Boro’s price range as a replacement for Hackney, but reports from Preston is that he was offered a club record contract to join them in the region of £30-35k a week. A figure that high is out of Boro’s wage structure so would favour Wolves or Celtic. Whether that figure is true remains to be seen, I suspect that it isnt.

Stefan Bajcetic, reports this morning linked the Liverpool player with a loan move to Boro, however since this morning a few credible sources have poured cold water on the move.

Victor Eriksson, Boro may look to the Hammarby CB to replace Dael Fry if he leaves the club for West Ham. He is well known to Kim Hellberg and its thought a figure of £2m would be enough to secure his transfer.

Other News

The new Boro home kit is expected to be revealed within the next 7 days.

The new Boro crest has been added to the Riverside Stadium on the West stand. It’s expected that several social media posts over the next few days are expected to stir up the excitement for the kit launch.

Any further updates will be added over the evening.

19:30 Update

Kyle Joseph, Dom shaw has confirmed hull and boro are trying to work though the complication and Joseph will return to Hull until things are sorted. It seems there is something not right with the players medical history and the player did not pass his medical on a potential paperwork issue. Seems this transfer may take a few more days or a week to sort out, and is no longer guaranteed to happen.

20:00 Update

Max Arfsten, currently in discussions with a move to Boro apparently. Take it with a pinch of salt but he could become a Boro player as early as the weekend.

21:30 Update

Hayden Hackney, medical completed and expected to be unveiled tomorrow by Everton.

Myles Peart-Harris, not sure where this one has come from but its suddenly being talked about as happening. Would be signed on a free transfer as his contract at Oxford has finished this summer. Likely used as a backup option to add depth to the squad. 6 goals and 5 assists last season for Oxford.

Outgoings

Dael fry is expected to sign with West Ham after they offered twice the wage that boro can offer believed to be in the £30-40k a week range. Boro are unwilling to offer more, and will be looking for a replacement.

Incomings

Kyle Joseph is currently having a medical at Rockcliffe, and all going well he’ll sign for Middlesbrough shortly.

Alfie Devine, his deadline to sign for PNE on a cutprice deal is today, otherwise PNE will be priced out by Boro and Celtic who are ready to meet Spurs £6m valuation for the youngster. Source Ben HD youtube.

Lewis Dobbin, further linked with a move for Boro and its understood Boro is his preferred destination and once the hackney money is exchanged with Everton, Boro will pursue his transfer.

Harrison Armstrong, he doesnt want another loan spell in the championship and is looking for a european loan move away from Everton.

Any updates after 17:00 i’ll post them here.

19:00 Update

Morgan Rogers, Arsenal have been put off by Villa’s £130m valuation of the player and have turned their attention to Bradley Barcola.

Massive Day, lots of stuff to go through.

Outgoings

Hayden Hackney, fee agreed with everton in a £25m package. Its thought the deal is an upfront fee of £16.5m, with appearance based uplifts of £5m and further addons based on england call ups and european football qualification for Everton. Whether there is a sell on fee/profit fee in the deal remains to be seen. This could be the first deal accepted and with Tonali, Anderson, Xhaka, Guiamares all moving around, its expected other clubs may come in for Hackney as well. It does seem Hackney has set his sights on playing under David Moyes at everton and he will probably sign for them by the end of the week.

18:00 Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the deal is done with Hackney agreeing to Evertons contract offer. Signing later this week.

Incomings

Daniel Iverson, we have been linked with a move for Preston NE’s GK. statistically a better shot stopper than Sol Brynn so may be seen as an upgrade option to use in bigger games where more shots are expected, preferring Brynn for weaker opposition due his better distribution stats.

Update 18:00 Iverson now being ruled out by Boropolis and other sources.

Oliver Skipp, the leicester midfielder has caught boro’s interest but Dom Shaw and other sources have said boro have cooled their intent on signing the player as leicester want £15m for him. The boro message boards are filled with laughter on this one as most don’t even think hes worth £2m.

Kai Anderson, another few rumblings that boro are still looking at the coventry youngster.

Hull, Pandur fee agreed to move to Rangers in a £6m deal but Butland is going the other way for £3m. This leaves Hull with some money to find in the form of Kyle Josephs sale to Boro which is expected before the deadline on the 30th tomorrow.

Alfie Devine, Rumour that celtic have made an approach for the boro target. His deadline for his end of loan agreed fee to Preston is tomorrow. If they dont get the deal agreed its likely he will move on to a bigger club like Celtic or Boro.

19:00 update

Lewis Dobbin, upto 4 championship teams in for Dobbin and 1 international team.

19:30 update

Dael Fry unlikely to sign a new contract as he has multiple offers on the table and boro are unable to meet his demands. He doesnt want to leave but wants a contract that matches his efforts for the club. Comes from a OneBoro poster.

Cameron Archer, is now being looked at as a possible option for the number 9 slot. Whether saints will want to deal with gibson/boro remains to be seen. Latte Lath still possible for the same slot.

Things are moving fast today, if there is any further news i’ll update this post.

Incomings

Kyle Joseph, Hull striker is expected to sign with Middlesbrough now within the next 24 hours and not Millwall as previously linked. Hull need to raise funds before the 30/6 and it is widely reported 2 departures are set to leave the club before the PSR deadline. The 2 players expected to be sold are Joseph and Pandur. Pandur going to Rangers and Joseph to Middlesbrough. Joseph had been linked with a £5m move to Millwall, but it seems Millwall couldnt get the deal over the line and Boro are expected to come to Hull’s aid to help them with their PSR issues and possibly pick up the striker on a cut price deal. Its expected to be in the region of £3m rising to £5m if boro get promoted. If Boro were to sign Joseph, this would be the end of game striker boro have been looking for that can he a bit of a handful with some scrappy goals, the rumour of a game finisher seems to be true and this was one of the targets. Still waiting on the “vardy” type number 9 signing to happen, but the message boards still seem to be split between Tolaj & Lath as possibly coming.

Kai Andrews, OneBoro post has us linked with the Coventry midfielder who spent last season onloan with Hibs. Not much more to go on and i’ve not had a chance to look at his stats or his youtube highlights. He’s a young lad at 19, and is possibly being looked at for squad depth in midfield as he’ll be not counted as part of boro’s 25 man squad.

Incomings

Laurent Tolaj, Plymouth striker, not sure what the source is on this one but seems to be getting some discussions ongoing on the message boards. He doesnt fit the perceived “vardy type” rumour thats been going around as he doesnt have blistering pace, but he does fit the Vardy profile of banging goals wherever hes played at every level of english football.
He won’t be cheap for a league one player as hes got 3 years left on his contract, and will cost the club at least £3-4m.

Other News

Morgan Rogers, rumour his transfer is all but done to Arsenal with his Agent possibly in New York to get the deal finished after the Panama game. The fee is believed to be £80m upfront with add ons taking it to £110m. The source of this is OneBoro posters, so take it with a pinch of salt.
