Middlesbrough are interested in Brighton midfielder David Lopez on a free transfer.

I'm sure they are but they won't get him. He's signed a new 1 year contract.

Not happening

He is on a free transfer would be a good signing in midfield.

23 May 2013 21:29:55
Hope not

He lont go to middleborogh they haven't got any Spanish players

Not signed a new contract yet, it's been offered but not signed. Can see him following Poyet wherever he ends up.

Hands off Spanish Dave. He has tweeted he love Brighton and hopes to stay.

23 May 2013 19:38:05
Middlesbrough have offered a return for sensation striker leroy lita, boro will make offer a sum of money and a player. It is unknown how much will be offered but the player is emnes

I would think something like this would happen involving emnes but I think boro will be the ones getting money with lita

Not a sensation striker and emnes is worth 1-2 million and lita is worth about 500k, we would not offer them anything for such a poor player.

Load of rubbish, mowbray got rid of lita and emnes is worth far more than lita

23 May 2013 15:50:57
Leicester, Middlesbrough and Palace have all enquired about Crewe midfielder Luke Murphy

He will be at villa by next season

Mogga if sence you would be trying ya best to get jamie paterson walsall he's just what we need a beast

Don't think boro can afford him

Crewe will be having a pre season frendly with aston villa after this Paul lambert will decide if he's good to go {Ed001's Note - he already tried to buy Murphy last summer and again in January, I doubt a friendly will make any difference.}

23 May 2013 11:52:47
Chris Humphrey, with his explosive pace in SPL has confirmed his move to Middlesbrough FC. His agent stated last week that Motherwell have confirmed the 500k bid from Middlesbrough FC.

He's coming to Sheff Utd along with Stuart McCall and Micheal Higdon.

AshSufcUtb

23 May 2013 17:10:55
that's funny because he is still in talkls with preston and he is a free agent so why pay 500k

He's that good we are willing to pay! ;)

22 May 2013 18:43:11
Graham Dorrans is being linked with a move to Middlesbrough.

Hope this comes off

He would be good for boro, but WBA wouldn't let him go

This would be a fantastic signing if we can pull it off he's just what we need a goalscoring midfielder

Tow

He would single handedly promote us, but I doubt we could afford wages or transfer fee so don't get your hopes up

Wba have already stated they will allow dorrans to leave

Are you jokeing pal he's no c. ron yes he's not a bad player would def make us stronger but 1 player dnt make a team not in the champiolship rant over.

He is in talks with WBA

Don't think he will leave the prem for the championship.

22 May 2013 17:33:16
Aston Villa's versatile Chris Herd linked with a move to Middlesbrough.

He can leave, we don't need players of his ability

Unless he can score goals, he ain't touching the boro squad

You have Joe Bennett, twice as poor.

22 May 2013 16:40:15
Middlesbrough are interested in Aston Villa midfielder Chris Herd.

21 May 2013 20:10:08
Middlesbrough look set to land ex Burnley midfielder Chris McCann as he is now available on a free transfer.

Well hopefully Bunley pick up released Borough midfielder Bailey to replace McCann

Bailey on mega wage

Bailey would take a wage cut though

12. 5k a week. so was mcmanus, letting them to go on a free transfer has freed up 25k.

Bailey and mcmanus were both on 25k a week. Both out of contract now, so not on any wage. Bailey was class for Boro, sad to see him go and I wish him all the best. UTB

21 May 2013 18:08:55
Middlesbrough manager tony Mowbray is hoping to make Blackpool winger Matt Phillips his first summer signing, he is also close to signing burton Albion star jaques maghoma and arsenal starlet josh rees on a season long loan

He's off to cardiff

Birmingham and Middlesbrough are both waning to sign Jay Tabb from Ipswich. {Ed016's Note - He's a free agent}

If MP goes anywhere I'd be surprised if it's another Championship club,

Cannot see matt phillips leaving extended contract

I would expect Matt phillips to be sold this summer. Oystons naivety when it comes to contracts cannot see other player walk away for nothing next summer.

IF. PI was given any money to reinvest in new players, I would say anything offered close to £1m. Snap their hand off because he's been dissapointing at best this season.

21 May 2013 17:23:49
Jacques maghoma will not be at burton next season, confirmed by a statement made by burton albian. Middlesbrough lead the chase to get his signature, although there is competition from derby, Leicester and reading.

The deals already been confirmed with middlesbrough

20 May 2013 22:45:24
Middlesbrough looking to sign a striker. One of: Leroy Lita (Swansea City), Jay Simpson (released by Hull City) or Simeon Jackson (Norwich City)

Boroandy

20 May 2013 23:43:40
Simeon Jackson has been released by Norwich today. Good championship striker, deserves a decent club. OTBC!

Hardly a fans favourite used to take a lot of stick always offside and very selfish I personally wouldn't want him back very frustrating player

Tow

We will be looking to sign two forwards if we can offload emnes or mcdonald becchio be gud signing not been getting games at norwich

Out of those strikers i'd go with Jackson!

20 May 2013 21:39:23
Middlesbrough to sign Lita from Swansea. Mowbray is keen to bring back the striker who was a fans favourite at the riverside.

Lita was NOT a fans favourite

He'd much prefer a return to Hillsborough as he's already stated his desire to make the move permanent

Hope this isn't true! he's better off at wednesday (not good enough and never was for middlesbrough

Leeroy lita is a lost cause, he's far too old for boro

20 May 2013 08:59:28
Middlesbrough in the race to sign Cris solly, Titus bramble, Cris brunt and Javier acuna!

Solly would be good, we need to sort out defence

Solly please and tit dny want other two

Acuna would be great addition currently sitting second in Spanish lge 2, but he could play in bbva against barca and real so why come to Boro?

How can you not want chris brunt? I can't see us landing him but he'd be a great siginign. mogga has already stated he has no idea who acuna is btw

Chris brunt along side grant leadbitter in the centre of the park would be fantastic, also with caryiol on the left, with fast right winger signed, we need a right winger badly, last decent winger we've had was geremi on loan.

Middlesbrough sign jacques maghoma on 3 year deal and yakubu has recently been in touch with Gibson whilst on holiday in Portugal

Acuna has been released by real madrid, and has been on loan at several clubs, real don't want him, boro need him.

19 May 2013 14:16:54
Cardiff appear to be the front runners in the chase for Bristol City winger Albert Adomah.
Crystal Palace are also interested but Ian Holloway's hands are tied until after the play-off final.
At least 3 other Championship clubs have also shown an interest (including Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday)

Shouldn't think he'd be a target for prem clubs at the mo, had a poor season

Adomah is good, but far from premier league quality.

If you're going to play with 3 forwards Albert could play in the Premier League.

He needs limited defensive duties, and to be allowed to pick the ball up and run at people.

He isn't disaplined enough for 442.

Heard Cardiff is his likely destination. His wife/partner? wants to stay living in Bristol.

Why don't you pay that much for kilkenny, brilliant player, deserves chelsea or arsenal (trying to make you interested) haha

19 May 2013 13:21:03
It is thought that Curtis main will leave Middlesbrough in a player swap that will bring jake Cassidy to the riverside

Why would we release main #thefuture

No chance

I'd rather swap him for emnes and keep Curtis main

Rubbish curtis main will be a big part of how we play next season

Tow

18 May 2013 18:46:47
When returning from his holiday in Portugal, Paul Caddis will be told he can leave because the club can't afford his huge wage demand. Clubs interested: Birmingham (although they have had many bids rejected) Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Derby and Nottm Forest.

Huge wage demand, boro can't afford normal wage demand, we are not interested

How has he got a huge wage demand he plays for swindon. Clue IN

He's the highest payed player at STFC, want him to stay but I think he's championship bound

He is on loan to Birmingham from Swindon because they can't afford his wages

He won't be on more than 15 k a week so boro can afford him

18 May 2013 14:39:39
Middlesbrough will offer Danny Simpson to stay in the north east, however it is likely that he will join Fulham or Wigan, who will offer him a more desirable wage.

Interesting

His girlfreind Tulisa leaves around Fulham and he would rather move there to see her more. However as a Fulham Fan I wouldn't want him as we have Riether and there are plenty more better options than him on the transfer market.

Jeremie aliadiere to return to middlesbrough after Mowbray has been out to watch him and wants a second chance in English football

Tulisa as a middlesbrough WAG. yes please

Aliadiere is performing very well for Lorient, has a contract until 2015 and has expressed a desire to stay in France. Plus he was linked with Newcastle so he wouldn't come to a Championship club, as much as I wouldn't mind the deal coming through.

As much as I hate to say it, We cannot afford aliadiere

It's easy to say he is going to Newcastle because they try and buy every French player on Earth.

Aliadiere was linked but he won't go to Newcastle. In actual fact he won't go to anyone in England as he is happy and performing well in France.

18 May 2013 12:38:31
Chris solly has expressed his desire to move north to middlesbrough this summer

Clearly he hasn't. He has several premier league teams looking at him and time left on his contract. So unless 'boro have a spare 3 million or so this isn't happening. The idea that anyone, "has a desire to move north to Middlesborough" is pretty funny.

Absolute nonsense, he wants to stay at Charlton but CAFC need money and Solly might be sold to West Ham

DFT

Solly indeed stated in an interview that he was looking to move to a club with a higher reputation, and has stated that Middlesbrough is the right club for him

He's out of contract so he won't be 'sold' to anyone mate

Just because premier league clubs have shown interest doesn't mean they are willing to sign him. Delusional charlton fans will be left in tears when he leaves for boro

18 May 2013 16:58:04
Solly is under contract until 2014 and is waiting for the club to put the promised contract extension on the table to extend his stay with the club.

Boro have put a 1m bid in for Hugo rodallega

Solly is a free agent this summer.
his contract ends this year

He's not at all under contract till 2014 he out this summer

He is out of contract 2013

18 May 2013 10:11:28
Ipswich are set to lose out on targets Nakhi wells and jacques mathematically after both were seen at middlesbrough's training ground to discuss terms

Both players will be good signings for boro

How do you lose out on someone mathamatically. That doesn't make sense.

Doubt Wells would of already been to Middlesbrough ahead of today's playoff final.

Jacques maghoma I think you mean.

Good players in league two, open minded about them both

Yer Nakhi wells has been spotted at the ground? he's been at bradford training, playing and scoring in the playoff final. Although hope this is true.

Well there isn't really anyone at rockliffe at the moment, most are on holiday so I don't know why wells would be coming over if the manager is of on holiday abroad

Nakhi Wells will not be joining Boro or Ipswich as he has confirmed that intends to stay at Bradford next season after winning promotion.

Wells has already said he wants to stay with Bradford in leauge 1 because its only early in his career

It is common knowledge Middlesbrough will look to raid the lower leagues and look to profit from the free transfer market.

Jacques Maghoma is a target but others are vying for his signature, Solly is top of the wish list to fill the void at right back, Southends Sean Clohessy is also an option.
Luke Murphy from Crewe is hoped would add a goalscoring threat from midfield also and there is also a keen eye being kept on Jennison Myrie-Williams.

Not to say these are all guaranteed signings but all on a long wish list Tony Mowbray and his team have drawn up.

Middlesborough fans make up a lot. I think they are a bit overexcited for next's years relegation battle.

18 May 2013 10:20:13
Chris solly will join Middlesbrough this summer, with nicky bailey going the other way

Bailey already gone

What nonsense, if Solly goes anywhere it will be to The Prem. why leave Charlton for Mid'boro, hardly a step up!

DFT

Because charlton will always be at most a championship team, whilst Middlesbrough have and will be back playing in Europe in a few years time

"Middlesbrough have and will be back playing in Europe in a few years time"

I wish I could have your optimism

17 May 2013 21:54:57
Sylvan ebanks Blake in talks with middlesbrough and is expected at rocklife park in the next few days

If he is like any Wolves first team he will be on holiday at the moment. there's also no rush he has a broken ankle and ligament damage so will be out until probably christmas.

Last thing boro want is a striker whos team has just been relegated. Goals Win Games. {Ed003's Note - He was scoring until he got injured}

17 May 2013 19:58:25
Middlesbrough are linked with Hartlepool's Luke James and Notts County's Gary Liddle.

Can't see him leaving as he's currently under contract till end of 2013 and he's just about won every prize avaliable for the emd of season awards at notts and is a very highly rated player so its not as we're goning to let him go very easily.

2.5m and you can have him

May have won everything that's going but. He's 1 of our own UTB

1 mil and he's yours :)

17 May 2013 13:21:36
Middlesbrough are intrested in wolves pair Stephen hunt and sylvan Ebanks Blake who have recently been made available on free transfers

17 May 2013 21:10:05
Lucas Akins could be on his way to the boro what do you guys think

Their wages will be too high for us

Lucas would be welcomed, all boro fans ask is work hard and wear the shirt with pride.

16 May 2013 21:00:27
Birmingham will open talk with Jacques Maghoma and will compete with Middlesbrough and Ipswich for his signature

He's already a done deal with boro

It's a shame he's already signed by boro

16 May 2013 19:27:48
Reading in talks with LM Emmanuel Lededsma, who is currently at Middlesbrough.

Can't see us selling him, he's on 3 year contract. we were 2nd in the table at Christmas when he was an ever present, he hardly played after that and boro slumped.

I would let him go for any amount of money

We have 4 wingers already

Let him go. He had about 5 good games and done nothing else all season. Please take emnes too

Ledesma is a quality player who should of been in the 1st team, he's not going anywhere

Yes please. can play cm too and he's the sort of flair player that we need

Ledesma would be a very bad signing for a team with aspirations of promotion

16 May 2013 16:36:54
Sylvain Ebanks-Blake is heading to Middlesbrough on a free transfer.

Good signing for boro, him and the juke will get 40 between them next season

He's broke his leg, he'll miss the start of the next season. I can't see Mowbray signing him unless he's ahead ot schedule in his rehab.

If this is true, then were also selling the riverside stadium to cover his wages. Wake up people!

16 May 2013 10:29:50
Middlesbrough are set to sign Chelsea's Nathan Ake and Manchester utd's Nick Powell on season long loans.

Great if true!

Beautiful if true, heard this rumour on here a few times I hope it happens

Good if true

I watched ake against boro, he seemed quite a creative defensive player, would be good for the boro

Powell will go 2 hull or a low prem team. I think boro r in big trouble next year.

15 May 2013 22:37:32
Due to Blackburn Rovers' spiralling wage expenditure, they are ready to offload many top earning players.

Jordan Rhodes will be the first to leave, with Aston Villa, Hull City and West Ham interested. All three interested teams will look to spend £4m which Blackburn have already said will suffice.

Birmingham City defender Curtis Davies will be a Hull City player within the next fortnight, with a deal being discussed right now.

Manchester United youngster Nick Powell, signed from Crewe Alexandra, is desperate for first team football and will be loaned out to either Hull City or Cardiff City to help boost their attacking options to help stay in the English Premier League.

Newcastle United are looking to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang to play alongside Papiss Cisse to improve this Seasons awful finish.

Middlesbrough are looking to sign Hull City skipper Robert Koren who is thought to fall surplus to requirements at the KC Stadium following Promotion to the top flight. Tony Mowbray is keen to reunite the Slovenian talisman after a successful history when together at West Bromich Albion.

Newcastle right-back Danny Simpson has fallen out of favour at St. James's Park following the signing of Matthieu Debuchy and will be either a Stoke, Hull City or West Ham player next Season after his contract expires.

Your joking with Rhodes, 8 million when bought last season, 30 goals this season in a poor Blackburn season and you think they will take a 4 million hit, what planet you on.
$ million i'd take him straight back to Town with a bonus 4 million in the bank.

If Rhodes is on as much money as is thought (£45k pw) I would imagine that we (Hull) will be priced out of the move. of the clubs listed, I would imagine Villa would be his best bet. Austin or LeFondre are more realistic options for us.

Curtis Davies I think would be a great bit of business for us, very experienced and quite consitent too. £2-3mil well spent if the rumours are true.

Powell on loan would be great, especially if Koren goes to Boro as is suggested here.

Simpson would be a good signing for us. Is he really out of contract this year? I would have thought Newcastle would have had that covered as he is surely worth a couple of million. Not the biggest hit ever but every club could do with pocketing £2-3mil for a fringe player. I suppose the real question is, how much better than Rosenior is he?

He may have a point though. Blackburn had an awful Season, and almost went down with Wolves. If the whole team is underperforming and they need to improve, getting rid of the more expensive players would definitely make the most sense. Steve Agnew (Hull City Assistant Manager) is Jordan Rhodes' uncle; room for optimism from a Hull City perspective.

Steve Agnew is Rhodes uncle and I think that might be the reason for getting him cheap

Blackburn won't give a toss if Agnew is his Uncle. If Rovers are looking to trim their wage bill, Rhodes would free up nearly £2.5mil a year. If he's got, say, 3 years left (don't know just a guess) that £7.5mil saved. that's the reason Rhodes would be available for as little as £4mil.

Robert koren would be a good singing

Rhodes was initially on his way to boor in the summer but it fell through when boro couldn't offload emnes for their asking price

15 May 2013 22:17:51
Middlesbrough striker Marvin Emnes is attracting interest from a number of clubs including Nottingham Forest.

Please take him! he's a joke of a player. Less than 10 good performances from him in 6 years

15 May 2013 21:12:39
Jason Steele has been linked with Everton and Liverpool recently so manager Tony Mowbray is ready to bring back Karl Ikeme from Wolves after he had a successful loan at Middlesbrough the start of the 11/12 season.

Also their are strong link that both academy graduates David Wheater and Danny Graham are both on their way back to the teesiders.

Also (Main, Reach and Williams are all going out to Hartlepool on loan)

15 May 2013 23:37:29
Matthew Bates, David Wheater, Chris Brunt, Josh Walker & Danny Graham all coming back this summer.

Main, Reach & Williams wil NOT being going out on Loan. They will be part of the first team squad. Boro have no money and will look to their youth players to play a more integral part of next season.

Josh Walker is at a club which has just been relegated to League 2. He is not good enough for the championship. Mowbray will not bring him back.

David Wheater is still on high wages which Bolton can afford due to their parachute payments. Boro don't have that money.

Danny Graham has stated that he does not want to play at a lower division than the premiership. If he is to leave Sunderland then he is likely to go to a promoted club. Not a struggling Championship club.

Chris Brunt's wages would be far too high.

Matthew Bates is a strong possibility. He is a great player in the championship when fit. The only trouble is he hardly ever is.

We take no responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of published Middlesbrough rumours
