Summer Transfer Window

[Neath_Jack]

Are we missing that nobody has offered £5m for him? That’s what we want for him, whether anyone is daft enough to pay that is a whole other bag of apples.

This isn't a new thing with us. Jenkins used to be the same with contracts. It's one of the reasons why we lost both Pratley and DeVries for nothing when we got promoted to the Prem.

Talks should start 18 months out from contract expiry. If nothing can be agreed by the 12 month stage then a sale needs to be considered.

Yes, you are right but the bottom line is having off the field football people making these decisions, coupled with the finance being available, instead of floundering from one season to another. We can see already in a short period of time how the club has changed

I've been quiet vocal on key last summer. His attacking sometimes and his movement can be really good. But he cannot defend and doesn't know when to release the ball. I'll take someone who has less flare and more composed than key any day. Sell him if we can get crazy money for him.

We have two full backs - Key and Tymon - who are both vulnerable in defensive situations but are a driving force moving forward and creating opportunities. Its a dilemma if the rumour has fact, but the bottom line is that every player in the squad has a price on their head, but on the other hand, we now have a recruiting team that I feel will replace either player and still make a profit.

I would go as far to say Keys defending is non existent. Tymon a bit better but gets open up so easily. If it wasn't for Tymon passing and assists then we would be looking elsewhere. Key on other hand, very creative player but looks lost when he gets to a certain point with the ball. He does everything right in attacking and then suddenly loses it. I would have no problem in us selling and getting someone more composed.

5m 1 year left on contract sounds good as long as the add ons in the deal are attainable. ie no 1m for promotion clause. Boro are not a relegated premiere league team like Leeds with Piroe.

Parker may be ready. Pre-season will establish that

Regardless of Key/Parker we could still do with a utility full back.

Looking around at the free agents Pederson is available

Was that a joke with Pederson comment? Just curious. I agree with the rest you said but Pederson back???

Interesting that Key wasn't involved yesterday with a niggle.

Might not be Middlesbrough but I definitely think we’re looking at offloading Key now we have Ethan in as well.
