Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough
- Thread starter jamie the seagull
- Start date
Perhaps because we haven't had a bid accepted?

he clearly does not want to go to Boro.
Im suprised they have not pulled out to be honest.

If we want him and he wants to come here then just for a change it would be nice to see the club act fast.
Or, perhaps, the Clayton deal is where it is because the club have been acting (quietly and professionally in the background as always stated).

my life my word
sounds like we are in a poyet/briddcut situation:
unsettle the player, make him sulk at his present club and eventually we win the game and get him at good price.

Mainly because we've not had a bid accepted (that i'm aware of) but also it's known that they want a replacement lined up before they lose him - its why the Butterfield+cash deal for Hudds was fine for them - they got a replacement for Clayton and some money in the bank. It seems that Clayton's decision has left 3 clubs confused, angry and set back their transfer dealings a week or two.

All the more reason to strike while the iron is hot.

Not so simple, boro don't want to let Butterfield go til they have a replacement, Hudds won't let Clayton go til they get Butterfield or a replacement.
The deal could still be rushed through if we were to pay over the odds, but we won't and I'm glad we won't.

69 pages for Clayton? WTF. I'll be honest I'm actually not that bothered now it's gone on for a ridiculous length of time now. We need to move on other options rather than waiting and being left with nobody, especially after Kemys awful performance on Saturday.

perhaps we can offer them Kemy
That is too obvious, Kemy + cash.
Maybe Robbins was sacked because he refused to accept Kemy

As far as I know (gleaming it from Twitter and the HT forum) there could be two bids from Boro - one that is cash, one is cash + Butterfield. I don't know which or both have been accepted but apparently Butterfield was ready to move and they were just waiting for Clayton to have his medical and agree terms...but this hasn't happened. I've no idea what we've offered.
