Is Joel Piroe still available. Expensive but guaranteed 20+ goal return if stays fit.Depends on if they get the right forward in and how many of the squad they retain.
Read somewhere that Southampton will be in for him once they have sold Che Adams to Everton.Is Joel Piroe still available. Expensive but guaranteed 20+ goal return if stays fit.

He does, and I think this deal is probably happening. Though I can't actually see it first hand because his Twitter is locked down and obviously I'm not going to his Patreon.Nixon does have some legit sources so that would make sense. I imagine it will have an option.
Would be a cracking signing for them. Annoying we couldn't get a permanent fee though.Boro fans are convinced they're signing O'Brien on loan, apparently confirmed by Nixon.
I genuinely thought he'd be a decent signing for us and able to step-up to this level, but I seriously underestimated the general PL standard at that time, and 12-months-on, the evidence shows that Lewis sadly falls a bit short of it.I occasionally know things when it comes to Boro and I can definitely confirm that discussions have taken place and they want him, ideally for a similar deal to what Blackburn had agreed.
I’m sure there are ongoing discussions with other clubs but selfishly I’d like him at Boro.
That's my thinking with a lot of these loans. It also helps with amortisation.Thought we signed him on a long term contract, at least 2026, so plays really well in the Championship, in the “shop window”, and we sell in January to promotion chasing team or next summer for good money.

Sell in 23/24 = paid 8m in 22/23, amortisation left is 6m...sell for 8m (?) only 2m profit this FY (+ wages).
Or
Loan in 23/24 = re-coup wages.
Sell in 24/25 = paid 8m in 22/23, amortisation left is 4m...sell for 10m (hopefully more if he has a good season) profit is 6m in FY 24/25 (+ wages).
That’s the ideal time to sell.Thought we signed him on a long term contract, at least 2026, so plays really well in the Championship, in the “shop window”, and we sell in January to promotion chasing team or next summer for good money.
Hopefully Boro go up and want to keep him.He'll be loaned out every year until we let him go for free, won't he?
