According to the BBC site both Huth and Tuncay are heading to Stoke.
Will that affect Boro's defensive record and weaken the spine of the team?
If we keep Killa and add to the squad then we should still be very difficult to beat, whilst having a more attacking outlook thatn last season through the width now in the team.

It is also interesting that Boro got £11 mill for these two players (Both with premier league experience and recognised internationals) and we got at least £8 mill for two players who have not played a full season combined!
