The Adam Clayton saga - now officially signed for Middlesbrough

[Goldstone1976]

Sorry, meant Stephens. Getting my Dales mixed up, at least it wasn't Winton.

Many of our players changed surname over the summer. It's hard to keep up now.

On this theme, I suppose we ought to be grateful that GG didn't change his name to Brown.

Underwhelmed

A good crosser of the ball, Clayton, noted that, but David Lopez and Orlandi looked as good (if not better) at crossing in the games against Huddersfield.

Futball rate him low (55) for crossing:

There does not seem anything special about Adam Clayton at all. It is not as though Huddersfield have excelled against us.

Reserve defensive midfielder seems his bag? Only thing Futball rates him at is mental aggression.

.........until we offer him £110 per week.

He might me happy to play pro bono so that would be fine

 

[Greavsey]

Better than Crofts and JFC, and ahead of Stephens on the depth chart I reckon when we looked in January.

Better than Crofts? Really!?? And I think long term JFC will be a far better player than Clayton, so he should continue to be given the opportunity off the bench and the odd start this season.

 

[dingodan]

Good.

No paper trail...

Shite U2 puns zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If anyone spots our Mr Bloom walking down to Lloyds tommorrow in Brighton with two large black bin bags, keep an eye on him !!!

Took + Full Beard = Terrifying midfield.

Let's have it!

I personally don't rate Crofts that highly, yes he works hard and did well to support the front men earlier this season to get his goals but he's not the answer in midfield imo.

Take away his goals and I found him to be pretty anonymous in most games. Great to have in the squad though.

My opinion of course and will probably get flamed for it.

Bilbo is half Took. Come on , Burke, get your finger out out and sign him up. He's about the same height as Bridcutt, so he's bound to be ok.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Would make a nice Bono-us...

See you two. Stop it!

I'm not too sure about him

No you're right, Crofts is a good squad player - not sure we need Clayton tbh

 

[Marshy]

Crofts will be off next season, one of the last heavy earners, that we can get better for less money

I would be delighted with Clayton, also a good leader.

"The Bearded" Adam Clayton

And they will carry on with, or without you

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I reckon we still haven't found what we're looking for.

I think we have found who we are looking for several times, the problem is, that it isn't US that THEY are looking for . . . if you catch my drift.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Like myself.....Invisible-to it all,still it's a- beautiful day..........

I'd would suggest waiting and picking someone up in the mid season transfer window, but I reckon that all will be quiet on New Year's Day.

I agree good post. I'd play Stephens, kemy or jfc ahead of crofts.
