Middlesbrough FC

This month is going to be fun-packed full of rumours in the papers, on the web and chit chat down the pub.

I'll keep you guys up-to-date as much as I can with the paper stories. I'll start with the most reliable source.

The Sun

Boss Tony Adams wants the England Under-21 star as a replacement for Lassana Diarra, who has joined Real Madrid for £20m. Boro chief Gareth Southgate turned down the bid straight away, having paid £5m to land O’Neil from Pompey just 18 months ago.

£2.5million is peanuts, but we do need to raise the funds to buy Ronaldo from Manchester United somehow. No seriously, Southgate will probably go as low as £4million for O'Neil. I know he is out of favour with a lot of Boro fans, but £2.5million is way too low.
