no actual purchases allowed, but the transfer embargo has lots of caveats - its quite a soft "embargo" as i see it The embargo continues to allow Royals to sign players on a free transfer or on loan, but the club is not allowed to spend any money on transfer fees and players' wages must b...

It’s going to take a number of seasons of financial prudency before our wage levels are reduced to a sensible level. We have made a start but there is a fair way to go. This was supposed to have happened when Gomes took over with a greater reliance on the Academy but then we had the splurge on inco...

To an extent, but the last accounts show 211% income on wages. Yes there's two seasons of losing McCleary, Gunter, Obita, Blackett, Aluko and Baldock in there. But that isn't going to take us to 100% let alone the 80% that's reasonably healthy. If the next figures are less than 150% I'll be amazed....

gazzer, loyal royal

gazzer, loyal royal Heard that McIntyre has agreed a new deal with the club. The only thing holding it up is the agents fee

Heard this has now been finalised and set to be signed this week

Fantastic news

Anyone remember what he was like for boro for the 2 seasons he was there? From a boro friend solid but unspectacular. He is a 6-7 out of 10 every game. Thats not terrible tbf.. wages obviously the big turn off here. Sure, George Evans was a 6-7 every game and cost feck all in wages. Is it a priorit...

From Despair To Where? We will sign some players.


Will resigning McIntyre be like signing a new player?

I think it should count as -1 really

I don't know this one really wound me up

You could also put in the comments how many you would sign and what positions?

I think we will sign 3
I think we need 4
LB, LAM, RAM and a CM

Just a quick poll to see how many people think we will sign

From a boro friend solid but unspectacular. He is a 6-7 out of 10 every game.

From Despair To Where? As endorsements go, there are none more glowing than a John Smith smackdown.

He will score 20 in the premiership next season now for Watford.

From Despair To Where? Is this Ashley Fletcher who's just about to sign for Watford?

Fair play I was not expecting that. I was not thinking he was going to be wanted by a premiership side. A good deal for him.

These nine players cost around £67 million in transfer fees: Aluko Baldock Assombalonga Fletcher Diedhiou Pritchard Reach Rhodes Schindler All been released on a free this summer. Finances gone mad We spunked £6m on Aluko from Fulham; Assombolonga cost Boro £14.5m aswell as Fletcher for £7m, Wednes...

Anybody know why Niall Keown has been a free transfer for over a year now?? might be worth bringing back to the club.

If Rafael goes and we get a fee Paulo Gazzaniga could be a good option he has always been that almost keeper that always had a better keeper in front of him. But a worthy replacement for Rafael.

Pretty disrespectful to Bayern that he's focused on thanking his former club and not even mentioned his new club.

He has made a separate statement about joinig Bayern (see Pepe's post above).

Whooosshh!!

Is this like spring watch for free transfers. Get in a bush and watch them. Do we get one each to follow around? Or do we have to share.

Are Swindon stringing us along until they tie him down to a new contract. I am getting myself all tied up in knots over this.

For no nonsense you dont get much better than Sonko or ingimarson that was a pairing not to mess with.

Anybody know how long Bale has left on his contract, maybe we can get Bale and Twine in the same team.
