Bent at Derby, downing at boro. Some good signings !

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

That is, at this level, a bloody phenomenal signing.

 

[TomandJerry]

Where's Barber in all this?

Barber OUT

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

He is far too good for the Championship. He is the sort of signing we can only dream about. Lets hope we can get one or two more quality signings in before the transfer deadline.

It is not always the best players that get promoted, but the best team. If Bournemouth can get promoted, then so can we.

 

[The Terminator]

Sensational signing

 

[MattBackHome]

That's some signing.

 

[Icy Gull]

Better homecoming for them than Zamora would be for us.

Getting very jealous of the quality of players some of the other teams in this division are signing

 

[Davemania]

I don't think he's all that great, championship is about his level

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

This. Totally overrated.

 

[WhingForPresident]

£5 million rising to £7 million if they go up. FIVE year deal rumoured.

 

[Marshy]

He will absolutely destroy the championship in my opinion, I assume they will play him centrally...

He must be on ridiculous money though ?... cant believe he was on less than 70k a week at west ham ?....

Are there any players who have signed for other clubs in the Champ who you think are bad signings ICY ?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That's an excellent signing.

I wonder if the Middlesbrough fans are saying never go back?

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

If played as a CAM, which he re-invented himself as last season (to great effect), he will simply run the show.

The comment that the championship is "his level", off the back of a very good season in the prem is excellent. You have to love NSC at times.

As the foreigners clog up the Premier then the rest are forced downwards

That's how we got hold of Leon Best.

 

[BensGrandad]

Middlesbro seem to be saying f...k FFP lets gamble on promotion and go for it.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Supposed to be signing former rumoured to be a BHA target Christian Stuani from Espanyol as well. 'boro certainly haven't struggled to get forwards in recently.

Did I not say SOME?

Off the top of my head, quite a few of the Derby ones. the Sheffield Wednesday ones look good as do the Brentford and Fulham signings. I like the look of ours but we don't have many and only one is not a defender.

Are you not just a tad concerned about how our signings are going and a little envious of some of the other clubs signings?

I think this signing for Midds is very impressive though
