Special Juan

Dembele has gone awol from Dortmund apparently and is sitting in a French airport ready to go to Barcelona.

Gary Monk confirming they are in talks with us for Baker's loan deal.

Read around on Twitter.

Off to United according to Twitter.

He's not average, he's a very good player and versatile, can play RW and RWB, we need numbers and he would be an excellent number.

Some claims we have bid 35M for him, if so, I can see them accepting that.

Championship is going to very competitive this year, Boro won't walk away with it, Wolves are a dangerous side as are Leeds, Hull and Sunderland. I'm not going against what you are saying and agree to a certain extent but you sort of explained it well in the early part of your post, a team that will challenge, not only that but the best facilities in the league up at Rockliffe where a lot of our previous loanees in Kalas, Omeruo and Bamford have flourished. I have heard Bamford has been selling the club big to him and that's what has made Baker want to go to Boro.

Might not be the Prem but gaining valuable game time and at a very good club to do so.

Apparently he's joining Middlesbrough very soon, on loan.

We want fucking shooting if we spend any money on him never mind 30M plus.

Stinging comments.

That will be a short interview then

I'd have him here, he's a blank canvas, got good and bad points but Conte could mould him, for 25-30M could be a very good bit of business.

Ah it's reared it's head again, the media guessed two weeks ago and are still guessing now.

Madrid littered with absolute elite players everywhere. Even the players who are below that level are 8/10 at worst. Seems to be a myth we can' be at this level, we can, it will take time, but transfer windows have to be miles better and targets need to be miles better and miles more bigger in terms of scope than Danny Drinkwater. Isco was sublime tonight, Kroos and Modric never break sweat, wing backs with mass intelligence and forwards who run forever and are intelligent with it.

1-0 Madrid

Mourinho's glove puppet speaking again....

Shouldn't be 'stepping up' now, that momentum should of been as soon as the window opened.

That's how it is now, feel sorry for the small clubs trying to buy players that 2 seasons ago would of been £10M and are now going for 20-25M

Right now I'm not even sure Morata will start.

in a nutshell our board.

I still fancy City to sign at least another 6 attacking players.

I love the phrase 'Chelsea have entered the race' Problem is, we forget to pick up the fucking baton.

The Ox, Bertrand, Mahrez and Llorente, all of a sudden the squad lookers fatter and healthier.
