Defensive coach. Very negative. Always getting teams to park the bus.

Yes and I think he went to Ryton and Lampard was not overly impressed by his attitude so we didn't pursue a deal.

There used to be a character on the Fast Show, his wife would send him out with a shopping list and he'd come back with the complete opposite . Maybe DK has become that character .

Well that's cool, because Norwich have a bad attitude..
Rangers fans were gutted when we walked away from the deal.
This new story is probably just his agent at work.
With Clement having seen him up close and not selecting him for Rangers it would be an odd outcome for him to now go to Norwich.
Looks like we’re going for the we need more goals philosophy in this window, wouldn’t be surprised if we bring another forward in, biggest transfer window we’ve had and for what’s at stake i hope we’re not just panic signing, esse was a decent one. I just want the next signing to be a “ we mean business” one, 6 days to go

Can't tell if you're taking the piss

He looks brave too and tries to take his man on but the reality is the Swiss league isn't as competitive as the Championship let's see how he finds it. I definitely think there's potential from his highlights and looks calm and assured picking good passes or crosses.

1-1-8 formation
Boro confirm they have scouted Lassine Sinayoko but have ruled themselves out this window in The Gazette. I live in Teesside and pals at work Boro fans have not been overly impressed with the link. Which leaves us and Wolves, oh and Birmingham City
Boro transfer latest with exit back on and stance on Lassine Sinayoko link
Delano Burgzorg's move to Bristol City is back on after Middlesbrough completed a move for Jeremy Sarmiento
That’s the problem, esse was always going to slot straight in, haven’t got time to hope they do like Yang, hopefully see what he can do against Oxford

Ipswich just signing anyone were in for the make us weaker? 
.
Also £4.2m for a random winger, do they not realize we have needed a new cm and lb since last summer?

Don’t really understand the signing unless Saka’s leaving, but I trust the recruitment team, and tbf this Markelo chap looks quite good. Hopefully Frank will be able to get a tune out of him.

I thought a signing might bring a end to the "bed wetting " it's actually made it worse!

Looks a decent addition on paper - which is all we have to go on. Esse disappears again in 4 months and Saka needs cover.

If he can obtain an Equity Card, Wrexham are also interested

Is it me, or is this January window more manic than usual in The Championship?

Definitely seems so.

Maybe it’s not the transfer window that’s more manic…

The Birmingham, Wrexham factor has definitely increased the activity, coupled with the FOMO element re: play offs/autos.

Those 2 know they need to get up before EFL PSR catches up with them so they'll spend now and hope they can run fast enough,

Surely the whole point of a transfer window is to make the starting XI better, not just pad out the bench. Look at the business we’ve done, both in the summer and January. Almost every player we’ve brought in feels like backup. On a good day, most of them still wouldn’t get into the strongest lineup. Rushworth aside, are we honestly saying Woolfy, KKH, Mini, Brau or now Markelo would be first-choice? Because I don’t see it. There’s been some chat about Esse, but from what we’ve actually seen so far he’s decent going forward and pretty much anonymous defensively. And defending is a massive part of how our wingers are supposed to play. You can’t just ignore that side of the game. So after all those moves, are we actually any better off than we were before? I’m struggling to see it.

I think our starting 11 early season was pretty much enough but injuries and too many under performers now it's clear we need another cm who can do an actual job, because torp is not capable.
Especially if we're going to play 424, grimes needs help when they break.

Is it a coincidence that it's the same people who 24 hours ago were whinging and complaining that Doug won't pay for any transfers, that are now whinging and complaining about signing a player because it's not the one they want. We all know we need a CM as minimal. We have 5 days to still achieve that minimum. Becoming so spoilt we can't even get excited about signing a young winger for still one of our highest ever transfer fees. It's disgraceful really.

Disgraceful. Talk about an overreaction.
CovLis86

It is. If someone complained about us making a 4 million signing not even 5 years ago, you'd call them an idiot. We couldn't even imagine we would do such a thing. Now people are saying it's a waste before the guys even been seen on the training pitch. It's embarrassing entitlement. Sign of the modern age sadly.
