I'm really pissed off. I saw signing Clayton as a statement of intent by the club, proof that they had aspirations of improving upon last seasons league position. In reality we appear to be light years away from competing with the likes of Stoke, Palace and WBA. I'm sure we'll be okay in a few years time, when the academy starts to produce a conveyor belt of quality players. In the meantime we must strive to retain our place in the championship with a nucleus of division one players. Not going to put bums on seats, is it ?

Yep on the performance so far he has been. Just makes me wonder why we spend all this time chasing these players we cannot afford, instead of spotting up and coming talent from the lower leagues.

Probably unfair to judge him on 40 minutes football for his new team but thought Boro looked weaker in the middle after he came on. Looked small as well.

Yep, I'm sure he is a good player, but anyone any less than good shouldn't be playing football really. There must be lots of other up and coming good players out there.

Maybe we rely too much on the software that spits out potential signings because all the other clubs are given the same list to choose from. Instead of competing for the cream at the top, but we should be looking at the cream at the bottom.

Who?
Don't need him.

For all we know as soon as we got a sniff Holla was interested coming we cooled on Clayton , he skipped medicals in the hope we'd come back, we said thanks but no thanks, he went to Boro in tears, and we get a Dutch pass master.

That's what I'm going to believe anyway....

I was pleased as I scrolled down today's results to see Clayton's 'boro lose 1-0 at home in front of 14,000 people.

I hope he enjoyed those 21,000 empty seats.

Don't think Middlesbrough have won a league game since Clayton signed

I got the impression he wanted to sign for us but we didn't put an acceptable offer so I'm sure he wishes he was playing at the Amex today. He certainly would be an improvement on Crofts in midfield.
