Chris Wilder has vowed to make Boro chiefs' lives a nightmare so they don’t languish in the Championship for another decade.
The Teesside chief has bids in for three players and has likened himself to a greedy “kid in a sweet shop”, as he tries to rebuild Boro into a Premier League side. Wilder has turned up the pressure on Boro to deliver better players in the “most difficult transfer market” he’s ever known.
Wilder says fans have to be realistic and he can’t “bring in Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale” - but reckons they do have “half a chance” if his squad is strengthened this summer. They have an £8m bid in for Groningen’s Jorgen Strand Larsen after selling Marcus Tavernier to Bournemouth, and Wilder is pushing hard to be given more ammo.
