Sho Time

Probably for a good reason - must be a shithole.

Average at best defender, offered little going forward too. I don't think I ever once saw him go to the byline and whip a cross in, ever. Pointless cut inside and pass-back every time.

Like most of the south coast. Well thats just flat out wrong Nah it's not, like. Even Blyth is nicer than Bournemouth.

Mitro.

Lascelles is definitely the standout option but I do feel it may be too soon and a lot of unnecessary pressure. If Sissoko stays then he'll probably be named as captain.

I think he absolutely detests every second.

It's easy to sit back and criticise from a distance. If it bothers people that much that they're not up to scratch they can sit down and have a go and see if they can do any better themselves. Certainly cheaper than paying experts to do it. Let's be honest here as well they're not pieces of expensive artwork bring displayed at a gallery. They're just there to add some colour to the extra noise that's hopefully going to be generated next season. It's not all that important. My point wasn't "oh I could do better", simply that I didn't like the designs like people have already mentioned. They don't have to be top of the range photoshop designs, but after taking 3k+ you'd expect that a half-decent graphic designer is going to be consulted and some simple, yet excellent banners/flags can be produced. No it's not expensive artwork going into a gallery but if you chucked some of your hard-earned money into this and the result was cheaply assembled tat which looked shit, we would be ridiculed and rightly so. I think after taking peoples money to a project it's important to make it look as great as it possibly can.

Ribery is rotten in flag form as well. First thing I noticed there as well, stood out like a sore thumb. worjackie, I assume the 3k+ that has been raised is to consult proper designers and have some decent flags made? It would all be a bit of a waste and make us look stupid if we had rubbish on display (without wanting to sound too much like a dick) like the stuff that I've seen on the site.

Shame how his career panned out here as he could have been remembered so fondly and as one of our best centre half's of recent times. Due to his attitude and ineptitude (especially as a captain) over the past couple of seasons he'll just not be remembered at all despite 8 years here.

I reckon the negotiations are similar to the Seth Johnson to Leeds contract talks.

Ritchie valued at £5.1m by Transfermarkt - I wouldn't take their valuation too serious.

Love the Robson-Kanu/Cryuff frame & the Grigg frame.

Great. Replacing one shit forren with another.

Lascelles looking like Vurn's bodyguard & Mitro looking like he thinks Vurn's patter is shite and he's gonna spark him out and take all his dinner money.

Buying all the Jonny Forren's.

Academic anyway since boro don't want to sell, and it's unlikely that the player will want to drop down to the championship after just getting out of it. Aye, but Middlesbrough... Don't want him anyway tbh. £15m for a player who's never done anything in the PL before is mental, no matter how good he was in the Championship.

A bit of a daft move for him isn't it really ? He looked class for Villarreal and off the back of this season could have went to a top club and still played regular football. Even staying at Villarreal for another season and playing CL football would surely have been better for his development before moving elsewhere IMO. He'll be wasted at Barca.

Hasn't forgotten that he's a professional football yet [X]

Nice try, ya bairns a pure lardarse, haaaar

Steve Kean and Terry Connor are on next.

I'd love for them to win if they weren't so pathetically buzzing that we went out.

1. France (bigger fee for Sissoko, maybe £4.5m) 2. Wales 3. Jormans 4. Cristiano Ronaldo FC

Why does life want him ?

Hope they've got the FM data to use to back up their points.
