2017/18 Transfer rumour and twitter thread.

Boro have just paid £6.5m for Ashley Fletcher...

For a striker that ain't scored a goal in 18 months?

World has truly gone mad!

erm... who?

[Tarbie]

Not played much first team football since the 14/15 season from what i can gather

Only 15 appearances for Rovers last season according to a post on another website

Dont get the vibe he's the answer to our CB issues

He really sounds like a bit of a sicknote, doesn't he?

I really hope I'm wrong though. Central defence is one area of the pitch that we really could improve!

I'd take Hoban on loan, bogle on a perm as well as that Bennett fella- he is a RB/RM so would be a perch replacement. Getting those 3 would be a reasonable summer along with scowen imo

It says a season long loan. Contracts still have to be signed for loan players.

I think we are looking at Hoban as permanent.

Couldn't see where it said that J although imo we should go for a permanent deal whether via a loan move pending that

Even better news then- I presumed it was a loan because we seem unable to pay a transfer fee

If it's to replace sylla then no from me.

Ollie ain't gonna play Sylla, so we might as well get shot if Reading are gonna pay a half decent fee!

I've seen Omar Bogle's name linked a few times on social media. Was very impressed with him when he came to HQ last season.

Thoughts?
