The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[Mackenzie]

Hardly the best way on endearing himself to his new club, if he signs for Middlesborough. Makes him out as a bit of a mercenary if he pitches up here as well.

Footballers eh!

I think we could be in with a chance if we let Agustein go in the other direction.

So it's £2m without Agustein, and £3m if you will take him off our hands at same time? It's novel, I'll say that.

heard he was there today.....

You must really hate Huddersfield to inflict that on them.

 

[British Bulldog]

heard he was there today.....

Going by todays tweets I'm not convinced anybody knows where he was today.

 

[Rich Suvner]

Because he's playing against U21 players so it's relative. He played no worse than any of the other midfielders today and put in some cracking passes into the box.

Also worth mentioning he plays much further forward with England which is his preferred position. He's much better as a number 10 than a holding midfielder.

Some sense here

JFC is not a rubbish footballer and such comments on here just seem to reflect the utterly knee jerk shit on NSC tonight. However I do think he appeared far too lightweight last season to warrant a starting berth. He is young with clear potential but strikes me as the type of player that's often characterised our youth team prospects in the past - skill without stature or strength. Certain games just bypassed him in the middle last year, or he got brushed aside easily

Maybe we could contact Middlesbrough, ask them to forget about Clayton and we buy Butterfield directly from them instead? Clayton can then stay and stew in Huddersfield.

 

[Leonardhead]

The way I read the Huddersfield statement, the "other club" they refer to is Middlesbrough and no other clubs are involved at this stage...... I could be wrong.

 

[Napier's Knee]

I read it as Huddersfield are mightily pi**ed off with him

 

[portslade seagull]

Hope he doesn't make a mess, give him a tissue in case someone slips up on it

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

"He's coming" - so's Christmas- and I know which is the more likely!

 

[Albumen]

It dropped to page two. We need him in the new formation.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Just seen on twatter than Huddersfield have sacked their manager. That is all

 

[martin tyler]

Not great they have sacked Robins.
Although the statement from the huddersfield last night suggests Clayton is going somewhere anyway

 

[BensGrandad]

Any more news tweets etc

 

[Mackenzie]

Mark Robins departure might have muddied the waters a bit.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

How many?

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Not now Mark Robbins has been sacked by " Uddersfield "

 

[sparkie]

I suspect it wasn't Robbins driving through the selling of Clayton, so not sure his departure will change things, in fact they will want to give the new man as much budget as possible before the end of August.

According to Huddersfield fans, he got halfway to middlesborough for medical and turned around...

Also mention that he wants to go to Brighton
