My understanding is that Tony is very hands on when it comes to player negotiations, so he is fully aware, perhaps too hands on?

Have we actually lost out on Clayton yet? For all we know Boro might have matched our offer & he's meeting both clubs. Burke was in Huddersfield yesterday, which supports that

Was he? How do you know that?

The same thing had crossed my mind. He hasn't signed for either club yet.

Maybe mugging Boro to force our hand a bit? Who knows

From an Argus article this morning
Clayton appears to have been captured by Boro for a £1.5 million fee rising to a potential £2 million.
He was not involved in Huddersfield’s home friendly against Newcastle last night which, according to a source in Yorkshire, was due to be attended by Albion’s recruitment manager.

Sky saying Boro have agreed a deal with Clayton who are now in pole to sign him, so no he has not actually signed yet , on the same page we are now closing in on Stephen Ward so ile wait for the official SWOOP before i discount or count on anything

Reminds me of the CMS situation a few years ago. I'm sure Boro are favourites, but I don't think it's as over as people believe

To be fair Argus not got the best record at the moment have they.....
I think, however, the fact he can stay up north will be the reason he signs for boro.
It's just a regurgitated tweet...

Seems Boro are offering cash plus player. Maybe Burke can raise the stakes with an extra suitcase of cash
As always, if Clayton joins Boro, then its about how we react to it. It seems obvious we are missing out on targets (bloom saying it is frustrating) but we cant just give up. We have to pick ourselves up and onto the next target. You never know he might just be the find of the season (Im allowed to dream aint I

Both bids were accepted so makes no difference.

Has he actually joined Boro yet? Looking on their site there is nothing about him signing.
Is it a case he is talking to them and could be talking to us as well?
Having typed this, he will probably sign for them today...

Ummm buy someone that lives down South? We've tried that, he stayed at Bournemouth then went to Norfolk.

Any chance of a turn around here?
Clayton's agent must be in heaven having two bids accepted (if this is true). I fully expect Clayton to sign for Boro but it may take some time as the agent uses our interest to rack up the personal terms and his/her own big fat slice of the pie.
