    Marcus Brown is a very good player at this level, we’ve been linked with him before. He has come back from a serious injury so will hopefully be stronger than ever or knowing our luck half the player he was. 
  • I’m sure we all fondly remember the last Nottingham Forest player we signed on loan in Marcus Tudgay who managed 2 appearances and 0 goals.

    Welcome Marcus Browne!
    Rhys Williams was probably the last Boro player we had on loan. He had just recovered from an extended period out with an Achilles.  He was one of the worst loan signings we have made ever probably.

    I wish Marcus Browne well but worry we persist with this signing of previously seriously injured players.  It has not worked for us for many years and I doubt a highly expensive "tens" machine will make the difference.
    Think the last permanent signing we got from Boro was a certain Jimmy Floyd H, another successful signing.
  • Who exactly were people expecting us to sign? we need to be realistic, two new signings and not on deadline day. Whats not to like? I will wait and see how they fit in regardless of previous fitness, although i think Purrington is decent at this level but if we want to upgrade a pacey left back is perfect just think of Da Silva & Aflie Doughty, if we can get someone on the right who can do similar perfect.

    Purrington has been progressively more anonymous over Jacksons reign and now he's stopped popping upo with goals he doesn't offer a great deal and well, Souare i just don't see it so i can see the logic in this whereas DJ, Leko and CBT have a job share on the right - an attacking CDM in and possibly another stiker and offloading Kirk and we should be stronger than before the changes surely.    
    What is an attacking CDM?

    It's what we used to call a midfielder.

    So does having Castillo come in put a pin in the Lavinier move? I always thought going after a right wing back rather than a left wing back was an odd move.

    Yes we don't have the perfect player there but we do have plenty of options who are more than capable - DJ, Leko, CBT, Matthews, Gunter. Can't say the same with confidence about the gap Castillo is filling here.

    This guy knows his stuff when it comes to the Spurs youth team, and is also suggesting its Lavinier.


    He says it's actually Nile John now, not Lavinier.

    About as reliable as football-rumours !!
  • There seems to be an assumption that Marcus Browne has joined us. However, I can’t see any confirmation of that. Counting chickens and all that. 
  • Chris Miller isn't even aware on Clubs outside the Prem, so how he's got some sort of inside knowledge on players movements is anyone's guess

    The Spirits are very strong tonight. Is there anyone at Spurs called John? 
    Got to be cruel to be kind!

    Surprised if a right sided player - doesn’t fit with what I heard 

    Castillo or something like that LB from Chelsea.


    Red Valiant wins the award for the first person to put a name to the rumour and Doucher wins the award for knowing who it was but keeping quiet 🏅🎖️

    Basically, he hasn't got a clue.

    He saw the Lavinier rumour yesterday and claimed that he'd "heard a whisper" and now it's not him, he's had another go.

  • I see these loan signings as trials to compete for a full time move in time for next season which is surely way more sensible than temporary signings which move on in May and thus leave another gap that needs filling in the summer transfer window.

    They may or may not work out, but I think that this is a sensible approach for a January window given that we clearly need yet another rebuild in the summer if we are to become a serious competitor for promotion next season.

    Hopefully a few more incoming and some of the deadwood moved on will hope us get closer to this goal.
    I think that's exactly what they are as well. Players on decent higher league salaries whose wages we will pay a part of to have a look at them. If they're absolutely brilliant then their parent teams might have another look, but best case scenario for us they're very good at L1 level, their parent club lets their contracts expire at the end of the season and we can try to sign them permanently on a L1 wage. If they're terrible then they won't get a contract with their parent club or us and they've got some work on to right their careers. It's in their best interests to perform and gives us the inside track on a permanent move if they show that they're good enough. Looks like good business

    It’s nailed on. Browne will soon play alongside fellow & two times ACL recoverer JFC in our new look midfield.

    What could go wrong!
  • It had better not be Nile John, everyone knows you cannot trust a person with a first name for a surname!

    Can’t be right, Twitter and a few angry posters on here said TS is skint. 
    The Zynex dividend paid out today .... would have been about 1.5m dollars to Thomas.
  • Nile John ? .. sounds like a Victorian era African explorer
  • I had a dream last night that Ronnie Schwartz came off the bench and scored a winning goal. Does it mean anything?
