Middlesbrough should plot cut-price deal for 'high-calibre' Premier League striker this summer - opinion

Now that their season has come to an end, Middlesbrough will be starting to turn their attention to the summer transfer window. Manager Michael Carrick has given a strong indication that he is ready to oversee another season in the dugout at The Riverside and now he must work with the board to build a squad capable of promotion. This season, Boro finished eighth in the Championship which was a disappointing campaign given they finished third the season prior before losing in the play-off semi-final. However, given the Teesside club went without a win for their first seven league games of the 2...

Middlesbrough all but out of race for 'world class' striker after latest price tag revelation - opinion

Middlesbrough have effectively been ruled out of the race to sign a striker they’re linked with in January after his asking price has been revealed. Michael Carrick has overseen a slightly underwhelming season in Teesside, given the club were tipped by many to secure promotion this season. Instead, after a run of seven league games without a win to start the season, Boro rallied to end the campaign in eighth place, four points off the play-offs. Boro fans have cause for optimism ahead of next season with their final day performance too, as they watched their club finish in style with a 3-1 win...

Hackney & more: 7 Middlesbrough players who may have played their final game for the club - opinion

Middlesborough fans should brace themselves for another busy summer. Following the conclusion of the 2022/23 season in which Boro suffered a painful play-off semi-final defeat to Coventry City the club signed 16 players either on loan or permanently.

Matt Crooks, Chuba Akpom & more: How Middlesbrough's 2023/24 departures are faring right now

Middlesbrough had nine senior players leave the club permanently in the 2023/24 season, whether that be in the summer or in January. Some of these players the club were happy to move on, whilst others manager Michael Carrick would have been desperate to keep at the club. Boro also made 11 permanent signings across the course of the campaign, so it was something of a season of transition at the Teeside club. Any hopes of a quieter transfer window this summer may be wishful thinking, with interest expected in the likes of Hayden Hackney and top scorer Emmanuel Latte Lath; even with the latter on...

'Time to rest up': Leeds United man Sam Greenwood drops potential hint on Middlesbrough future

On loan midfielder Sam Greenwood has dropped a huge hint on his future following the conclusion of the Championship season. Middlesbrough secured the services of the midfielder for the season in the summer, with Leeds United allowing the 22-year-old to make the temporary switch. His future beyond this season has been unclear for a while, with no real indication of whether Boro will look to make the deal permanent or indeed whether Leeds will push him out the exit door. If Leeds are successful in the play-offs and secure a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking it would seem d...

'Really promising...': Watford boss names the Middlesbrough player who he 'really, really likes'

Middlesbrough ended their Championship campaign with a 3-1 win over Watford in front of their own fans. This final-day win meant that Boro finished eighth in the league, falling short of the play-offs by four points. It is difficult to assess the season Micheal Carrick‘s side have had. Boro were impressive last season, securing a play-off spot before losing to Coventry City in the semi-final. They were tipped by many to win the league this season, however no wins in their first seven league games effectively ended that dream before it had really even started. Carrick managed to turn things aro...

Middlesbrough fans all say the same thing as Michael Carrick comments on his future

Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick has commented on his future at the club. Middlesbrough are vying for an 8th place finish in the Championship this season. It’s down on their 4th place finish last time round, but given injuries and certain shortcomings in the transfer market, it’s been an overall good campaign for Middlesbrough. There’s concerns over the future of Carrick, though. He signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the club when he took charge in 2022, with his current deal to set to expire at the end of next season. But TeessideLive previously revealed that positive talks regarding an...

There may be plenty of reason for Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson to be pleased with the outcome of this season. Middlesbrough currently sit in 8th place of the Championship table ahead of their final day clash at home to Watford this weekend.

Middlesbrough already have a Seny Dieng replacement in 29-year-old who is impressing on loan - opinion

Middlesbrough may lose Seny Dieng this summer transfer window. The Teessiders sanctioned the sales of Chuba Akpom and Morgan Rogers in the last two transfer windows and they could move Dieng on as Newcastle United circle. The Senegalese shot-stopper joined Michael Carrick‘s side in a £2m deal from Queens Park Rangers last year and has impressed in his debut campaign. So much so, that The Magpies are looking at bringing him up north to become Nick Pope’s understudy next term. Should Dieng depart, Boro don’t need to look at signing a replacement, as they already have one contracted to the club. ...
