    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Like Poyet to Reading then.

    Bozza has alluded to this a couple of times since it appeared to have gone tits up.

    Maybe we will just end up with loans, sadly.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    I believe that they are full of confidence, have faith in their new manager. All a bit reminiscent of us under Poyet during our second season at the Amex. Good luck to them, I'm a bit jealous, I expect them to have a much better season than us.

    :lolol: You do make a good point, I have to concede!

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Rodriguez was shit, and I'm not even convinced he was playing first team 2nd tier Spanish football at the time he came here. I may have pushed the Championship quality comments a little too far, maybe :wink: but my point is that we are struggling to sign quality players. I was not looking to be...

    Drama queen? Bit of an over reaction, no real surprise coming from you though.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Stephens I missed. Toko is from a Swiss League, is that any better than the Israeli league and on a par with the Championship? ( I honestly don't know). O'Grady is a League One player, Rodriguez was second tier Spanish, not convinced that is on a par with the Championship, again I could be wrong.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Not really, since January I would say it's pretty factual. We have captured two Championship players and released half a team. Seems pretty obvious to me that we are struggling to entice Championship quality players here. Edit why am I getting a thumbs down on this post, have I missed our...

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    I was talking about our current situation, not going back to Poyet. Stockdale - Championship - good signing Hughes - Championship - probably a good signing Toko - no idea if he is any good tbh O' Grady - League One Turned down by a number of Championship players allegedly and by the club's...

    True, hence the capitalisation of IF. I would , of course, be delighted if he chose us over Boro, the bearded **** :smile:

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    IF he told Huddersfield his preference was Boro it's nowhere near the same scenario though. We were a club very much on the up who had given CMS team a complete run around at London Road the previous season as we won the Championship. One comment on the day from A Peterborough fan was "**** me I...

    Gone right off him now, feck off to Boro you thick bearded Northern ****. Dodged a bullet there :wink:

    So how is he funding all this within FFP, because if he's not he is apparently gambling, no?

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    I get the impression that this is their big push for the Premier League. We had one that was a bit shit or bust that turned to bust a couple of years ago. Now we are going down the sensible route. I love how NSCers can decide that 1.5 to 2 million was an OK deal for Clayton but 3 million is too...

    Be interesting to see if they can show the Albion how to get a transfer over line within a week of it being muted.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    It was indeed, 2 seasons ago we did it with style, last season we flattered to deceive and only a slightly loopy fanatic can believe that as things stand we have any chance of repeating the feat. I accept it may all come together by the end of the transfer window, I am not that optimistic as I...

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    I believe and accept that Poyet was entrusted with spending the money to fast track us to the Premier League. It didn't work out and we came very close. Last season we overachieved. I understand the reasons why TB would not want to keep throwing money at the club, I just wish he would be more...

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    There is obviously nothing in between? Is it unreasonable to expect the club to strengthen rather than weaken the team whilst they spout PLR spin in every press interview? Only a club sycophant would believe that the current player situation is not something to express concern over. It has...

    Totally get why Oscar walked, looks more and more likely that we cannot compete with any Championship teams for players.
