If we make an 8-10m profit on every forward we sign, we will soon be a well run club going places.He didn't come to Boro to stay for life; he came to try and kick start his career after some years out in a less challenging league, and he eventually did that last season. Without those 28 goals we'd have been nowhere near the playoffs.
A good moment in Boro's history, and a potential career highlight for him. We only paid 2.75m or so for him so it's worked out well, I'd say.
Thank goodness for that!
Not particularly bothered where he goes, just as long as we can get the best deal possible.
A deal worth £15m is good for a player in the last year of his contract.
Their owner said they’d pay £50k+ for the player “Hecky” wanted, which was undoubtedly Akpom. Can only assume he’ll be getting more at Ajax. Fair play, he’d likely end up back in the Championship next season (with Giles) if he went there, but many want a crack at the Prem, even if it is likely to be for only one season.
To be fair that is still a touch when you consider we couldn’t move him on last year.£12m, if he meets all the add-ons.
Still happy enough with that. Just glad we can move on now and hopefully reinvest some of the money into the squad.£12m, if he meets all the add-ons.
I think we already are in Engels and Latte Lath, hence why everything suddenly began movingI suppose the question now is whether we will reinvest that money?
They were coming in anyway.I think we already are in Engels and Latte Lath, hence why everything suddenly began moving
Their league is weaker than Ligue 1 too so he’ll be fineHe will fancy himself to score loads of goals in an Ajax team .
I think you are being disrespectful to Ajax there, they have been European Champs more times than even Man U.We can't afford £50k/week in the Championship. That money was wasted on Britt and Fletcher.
Lens v Ajax
Lens are in a bigger league and are a sort of Newcastle of France. (ex mining region strong loud regional support)
Ajax has the glamour and are the biggest club in Holland, but the league is not particularly strong, most Dutch internationals leave the country.
Not sure what the Champions League position is - are they both in the qualifiers?
These have been moving before this, we’re just awaiting international clearance on Engels and Lath is already here. They’re not relatedI think we already are in Engels and Latte Lath, hence why everything suddenly began moving
