They need bodies.
Warne is a budgie.

So very possible.

Shame but really he is far too good for us at the moment. Boro will be pushing for the Prem this year.

But everyone on here said the Championship interest was nonsense!

HeHe.

But yeah, once our bids were rejected and we never went back and others became interested, think it was game over and we looked elsewhere.

Don't think FLW have got a single bit of transfer news right this window, so I'd take this with a pinch of salt, but I've also said this before and comments have aged terribly!

Wouldn't be a surprise, they seem one of few non-parachute clubs who can spend properly and Warne has been desperate for this particular move not to happen.

Weakens a rival. Just doesn't make us even stronger into the bargain.

Was always a long shot, to my mind (see Sonny Bradley).

The exact same will happen with Celina. No way will he drop to L1.
He is arguably better than crooks albeit in a different position

Agree. A player who did well in a relegated team is going to want to stay in the Championship if he had the option.

Boro can give him that and probably pay him more too.

Slightly gutted but really not surprised - really thought it was a pipe dream to be fair

Difference being with the disappointment under the new regime we can perhaps expect an announcement of a similar quality player out of the blue , unlike under Evans if we'd missed our intended target he'd revert back to the "has been / bargain basement" department

Just a shame as EADT and Phil were both optimistic of crooks signing

Just hope we get our other main targets in the positions we need desperately

I assume if there were no other options outside of L1, we were certainly the favourites.

Once Colin came in with a good offer, we can't compete.

Given this it's good that we got Fraser in.

I am sure they will just move on to the next targets, we seem to have a list of choices for each position.

Disappointing but not unexpected.

I assume we knew about this when we got Scott Fraser in.

Would’ve loved Matt Crooks here. But the fact we went in with two bids for him and really chased the signing to me is encouraging. Being a league one club is the thing that makes these signings tough. Now let’s focus on the wingers and defenders.

I thought russell martin's comment that we 'had all pre-season to make an offer but waited until two weeks after training started' basically meant we put the bid in for fraser once we knew crooks wasn't going to happen. Making two big money signings who play in the same position is madness. Excellent plan B.

Poll: Which would you accept?

Agreed - Ashton said we had our eye on four players in each position and Fraser was simply another target if Crooks didn’t pay off. Still in a very good position in central midfield though another signing would be useful in that position to give us a bit of depth.

Will be a shame as Crooks would be a beast at this level. Truth be told I was finding it increasingly difficult to believe that he would end up back in L1.

Like another poster points out, this will make Rotherham weaker. We have Fraser in the attacking midfield role so will give him a clearer path to excel.

A pity but we move on.

That’s the second time they have both been pretty sure a deal would be done when it hasn’t, no wonder Ashton wants everything to be kept quiet.

The noises at the club were that they were confident. Having outbattled the likes of Millwall, Coventry and Hull for other players, Middlesbrough were perhaps too big for us to compete with while at this level.

I said all day long he would go to the Championship and no one seemed to take any notice.

Never was going to happen. Shame though
