The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[London Irish]

How did he do against us last season? Anyone remember his performances?

 

[glasfryn]

Sounds like it's back on from a journalist for one of the clubs involved:

@reluctantnicko: Clayton drama ... did not turn up at Middlesbrough to join ... wants to go to Brighton ... Huddersfield unhappy at messing about. #chaos

un*******believable

He played really well against us in the away game. I don't really remember him at the Amex.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Brighton have gazzumped last minute

Clayton on his way to sign

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

Yes sir this house is most definitely worth a small fortune and you need to get in quickly to beat the interest



Every estate agent ever

 

[Goring Gull]

As far as i know he's turning out for Huddersfield today

sounds like its all about the money
as I am led to believe by modern pop stars is often the case

 

[The Orange Seagull]

What a strange old saga this is turning out to be.

 

[Aristotle]

This is being reported by The Mirror on their live transfer feed... Who knows what will happen!!?

Danger.....player's agent at work!!

I suspect there are more twists and turns ahead. Is Clayton genuinely feeling the love for us - or just trying to squeeze more out of 'Boro?

 

[We're the Stripes]

Yeah, Mirror reporting similar..

You couldn't make it up really..

EDIT: Just realised Alan Nixon is Mirror, also. He seems fairly reliable though from experience.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Presented on the pitch at The Amex today?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Well, looks like we certainly are back in the frame then if he wants to join us - Hudds have accepted a bid too.

Can see this deal be wrapped up next week then !!

Well he's not really endearing himself to the Middlesborough fans if Twitter is anything to go by!

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Middlesbrough fans seem to be adamant that he is actually up there now having a medical and are saying the latest news is all rubbish.

So, who is right ?

Adam Clayton - Brighton cash bid

So, who is right ?

Judging by Alan Nixon's tweets this morning, I'd be surprised if he was wrong.

Sky now reporting it as well:

@GraemeBailey: Adam Clayton stalling on Middlesbrough move as he would rather join Brighton, who have reopened talks with Huddersfield.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Clayton spotted in Middlesbrough apparently, this is fairly bizarre and do we just a journalist, who over the past couple of weeks have got lots of BHAFC transfer info wrong - or the Boro fans who are actually in Middlesbrough....

 

[Acker79]

So, it looked like he was joining us, then word leaked that he wanted Middlesbrough.
Then it looked like he was joining Middlesbrough, now word is leaking he wants Brighton.

I am a little bit suspicious, either about the word that leaked, or that his feelings are all that genuine either way.

 

[Acker79]

Actually, I'm looking forward to naylor's reaction and people's response to naylor if Clayton signs for us. Oh, how I want this to happen now.

It does smack of player/agent greed playing one off against another.
