The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[Cars]

I doubt he'll change his mind about leaving Huddersfield looking at results so far!

Even though we lost, we were still 3 goals better off than Huddersfield!

JFC is still very young, he'll come good.

Need to ship out Agustien though.

JFC hasn't a clue..how he made England U21's is beyond me
Not good enough for League 1

Where does the article suggest that

 

[martin tyler]

Would suit the role of deep lying play maker very well.
Him, toko and Stephens be a great mis 3 with ince JFC and crofts to come in. Adds a lot if depth to that department. Kemy can leave as well

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

 

[Everest]

Hope this is true

Let's hope they didn't watch him today then.

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.

If you watch those U21 games he normally looks decent. He plays in a slightly more advanced position, so we're either using him wrong or he just isn't ready to play week in week out yet.

This is an important season for JFC, I think he needs to play as part of an older midfield to help him develop. Putting him in at the same time as Ince and Fenelon always looked lightweight, we could actually send them backwards in their development by expecting them to do too much too soon.

And yet, Gus, Oscar and now Sami have all seen him as a good player. Not to mention Southgate and all the England under age managers. Who's view to take ...

Just to add a sideways take, their is no guarantee that 'another club' is us.

Probably skint Forest to replace Lansbury.

 

[El Turi]

So he'd be interested in signing for us but at the moment Boro are the only team who have put an offer in for him?

We have not agreed a deal with Huddersfield so the only option (currently) is Mboro who have agreed a deal with Huddersfield.
