The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[Thunder Bolt]

I would imagine this sort of thing has always gone on. Twitter has just made us realise...

Get him in I say.

Possibly. It may have been the same when CMS joined us.

@GraemeBailey: Despite hiccup with Clayton deal, Boro deal is not completely dead...

Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.

It's a perfect situation for the agent. Playing the 2 clubs off against each other to milk it for all it's worth.

Who turns up to a medical barefoot? A definite ploy to fail it and sign for us!

He has written it phonetically for the Boro fans

The best things come to those who wait...

Is David Burke still up in Yorkshire

 

[smudge]

Now this would be quite funny if he came here, but not too bothered tbh.

Me either, especially if Clayton being a mercenary.

Why is he being a mercenary? He may just want to play for us and not Boro. That shows commitment and purpose in my book. If he said to Brighton, 'I want to play for you but want £25k a week for doing so', then I would understand and agree. But from what little we know, it seems that this is not the case. He genuinely wants to play for us.

Good lad, sign him up.

Clayton's agent's bonus is going to be 6 figures at least. He/she will be a winner no matter where Clayton ends up.

Me either, especially if Clayton being a mercenary.

Remember too, that if he had a good season for us, Norwich or Cardiff would come calling and he'd be off like a shot. If he wanted to come here, why didn't he and his agent agree a deal with us? If I were a 'Boro fan I'd be pretty hacked off too.

Ooh, the drama

 

[Bozza]

This isn't about money.

 

[Clive Walker]

he'll still sign for us.

Like I said

This isn't about money.

Is it about Luncheon Vouchers?

Players and agents can't agree deals with clubs until their owning club give them permission to speak to that club.

Golf?

Nandos v Parmo ? Premier League Ready v 5* Hotel and Golf Course ? South Coast Riviera v Teesport ?

@GraemeBailey: Told Middlesbrough are ONLY option for Adam Clayton, and only club Huddersfield are talking to. Butterfield deal also very much still on.
