The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[northstandsteve]

I think Forest would be a threat to us on this deal - if only from a geographical perspective. But I hadn't read anywhere of their interest.. What have I missed?

If Lansbury goes to Burnley, or elsewhere, then it's very possible they'll try and get Clayton.

would question your 'decent squad' quote ?

You are a remorselessly miserable chap aren't you. Is there anything about the Albion you actually do like? (I don't know perhaps, The Amex maybe, successive play-offs, the new training ground, the sensible management of the club, the incredible level of accessibility to senior staff....?)

Oh FFS

I think we have to accept that there will be no new signings this week ( and certainly not in time to properly integrate them before the first game). I know I will upset a fair few on here but the lack of transfer activity does not bode well for the coming season.

Hell of a first post!

Well if I had been told he had always lived in Manchester I would not have got so excited that he might join us. Stupid beard anyway!

If we've missed out to boro I'd be well pissed off.

Boro are assembling a very strong team and are looking good under Karanka,

Shame but I think a deal for Ward is more pressing, we are already well stocked in the midfielder department.

Oops, not great when we have been after him since January.

Talk me through that one Naylor!!!
Disappointed but we move on

Let's leave aside how poor the grammar, spelling and sub-editing is on that piece and consider the vital bit of information in it which is that he's spent his whole career oop north. When it comes to agreeing personal terms we're going to have to make it worth his while to undergo a significant move. He could probably commute to 'Boro....

Why the hell would you want to go to Middlesborough? Must like playing in front of 12 people.

Good shout...

Yet again we don't appear to be willing to play what a player is worth. What a shambles.

The link I orginally posted from the Argus should now read "Duo expected to sign"
Fing bollocks these transfer going ons. I have been usually satisfied with transfers in the past, but I am now worried for this season.

Thing is lack of signings will put people off buying a Season ticket and it feels like we are going to get stuffed on Saturday.

Or any of the other 'reliable' sources? Things happen, people change their minds, clubs up their bids ...
