    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Que sera, sera. Don't expect anything before transfer deadline day now. How disappointing.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Maybe Robbins was sacked because he refused to accept Kemy ???

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Pretty certain Forest are the one team who have actually completed their recruitment for this window.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    I suspect it wasn't Robbins driving through the selling of Clayton, so not sure his departure will change things, in fact they will want to give the new man as much budget as possible before the end of August.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    JFC is still very young, he'll come good. Need to ship out Agustien though.

    Bloom and Burke have played a good hand if we get him.

    Agreed. He has an uninspiring record at Championship level, and is not in Leo's class.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Isn't it all about Boro wanting to throw in a player to cover part of the fee, and the player in question doesn't want to go to Huddersfield ???

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Not too fussed about missing out on a midfielder. We need a 20+ goal striker and a left back more urgently. Concentrate on those 2 and then boost the midfield with loans if necessary.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    They are heading for a transfer embago in January. However, if they go up in May the embago does not apply to a PL club, so a big FIVE months of embago time. They may even dodge the fine, as the embago was their penalty.

    OK, so if everyone has complied with FFP, why are we losing out to non-parachute clubs with lower incomes for our targets ? Especially with a 8million+ cash windfall this year. Something doesn't make sense here.

    Fair point, I meant added to our gate receipt advantage over ( for example) Wigan. What I'm trying to say is that this is the closest we could be in revenue terms to the parachuted teams for a few years. I hope we don't throw this chance away.

    So for one season only, the Ulloa cash puts us on an even footing with the richest parachute clubs. Let's not waste this opportunity.

    It is just a hope, yes.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Let's hope he was our 2nd choice midfield target, and we've dropped out because the top target is now agreed.

    If Lansbury goes to Burnley, or elsewhere, then it's very possible they'll try and get Clayton.

    Reading have money now it seems as well, and could gazump any deal.

    Step forward Kemy Agustien.

    The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

    Not sure about Forest. Rumours coming out of statement expected from chairman about having to sell players to meet FFP ? Sounds like rubbish to be honest, but Lansbury may also be on way out.

    That is exactly what I hope for.
