That said it's a horribly inflated market for domestic players so a premiership fringe player is probably going to cost more than the combined total of 3 or 4 SPL pieces of driftwood. Moreover the temptation to sell the best assets right now must be intense, but doesn't that lead to a season of mid table being the best hope? Wish I had the answers as I see Boro as a premier league team who are in danger of following the path taken by Sheff Weds, Forest, Leicester and Coventry. If the first season return to the top flight goes off track a scramble ensues that brings chaos. The next 4-5 games will hopefully bring back the faith, time is suddenly a bit short.
