Glad we got Levy to negotiate this deal. Him being close family friends with Spence's agent has made this transfer go smoothly
Maybe Conte has had a close look at Tanganga and has thought, with him being HG too, that he can understudy Doherty.
Have we ever been in a situation where the selling club's fans are confident and we're the ones full of doubt?The Boro forum are posting regurgitations of the Percy piece thinking it will get done.....tempted to sign up and update them!
why would they get so excited about getting rid of a key playerHave we ever been in a situation where the selling club's fans are confident and we're the ones full of doubt?
Normally the other club's fans are in denial and we're the ones frothing at the mouth with excitement due to the ITK.
no wayWe need to get him signed ASAP. Conte is going to be fuming if we don't get him a RWB for the tour.
Spence is the best option available this summer and homegrown. More importantly, with Conte's coaching he could develop in to a top player with his attributes.
He will definitely usurp Doherty this season if he signs, even if it takes a couple of months. The drive, speed and dribbling skills he possesses are simply unmatched by any of our other RWB options.

Did he tell you that, personally?! ?We need to get him signed ASAP. Conte is going to be fuming if we don't get him a RWB for the tour.
This is very pricey but if we pass up on it only to sign a cheap second rate alternative or square peg then it's a complete false economy. Very worried about the links to Di Lorenzo. We either need to get Spence in, find an alternative that is actually a good fit or stick with Doherty and Royal who can be coached.I posted a couple of weeks back that boro wanted 25m. Seemed steep to me back then but glad you've backed it up.
Hopefully we see a conclusion to this over the next 48 hours.
Busy week ?
Thing is we never replaced Carrick but we did get Modric soon after, we couldn't replace Modric but then Dembele came good. Its never really been a matter of replacing like for like.You can’t replace Dembele.
no way

#Spence-gateWhat odds we have a new Prime Minister before Spence signs?
Really?If you have ever followed Conte's career, it doesn't take much working out to know he will be fuming.
No way
I think Molina is an interesting option. Very productive in the final third although he's not explosive.Name an alternative who has all of the attributes I listed and is tall, very quick and powerful?
The only potential option would be Singo and he's actually a lot more raw than Spence in terms of his touch and finesse.

I think you only have to go back to january and see that this could very likely not be as dramatic as you are making out. We made no signings until the end of the window and conte kept on saying he understands as its very difficult. When we looked weaker in terms of numbers but bought in kulu and bentancur there were talks he would he so upset at the window he could walk and he came out and said he felt the squad was actually stronger, which was proved right.If you have ever followed Conte's career, it doesn't take much working out to know he will be fuming.

we are almost 2 mths from the window closing and made 4 signings which are top class and spent almost £100million and we are actively pushing for more. I think conte will be happy with our ambition and understand why we arent being held to ransom for a kid who has had a good season but is still a gamble of sorts if we expect him to he a first team player. Yes he would like him in for saturday but at the end of the day he a few more days here or there aren't the end of the world, or if we are being screwed we move on.
Nick is just projecting what he thinks and wants, into what Conte thinks and wants. Nothing to worry about at all as things stand.I think you only have to go back to january and see that this could very likely not be as dramatic as you are making out.
