Boro's worst 'repent at leisure' deadline day deals?

[equaliser]

We're all waiting for this striker to pop up in the next few hours - and last season's transfer window did yield some exciting additions. There's a lot of buried trauma there too though. I was thinking that stinker under Karanka - Gestede, Guedioura, some other donkey, wasn't it? Can't remember - like I say, you bury it. Sure Michael Ricketts was signed on deadline too, no?

Gibson will remember them all though, because he's the one coughing up.

What are the shockers folk look back on with horror?

Probably Alves

Phil Whelan - signed but didn’t sign thanks to Lambys infamous fax machine shenanigans

I still cannot for the life of me believe we spent £6m on Rudy Gestede. What the f*ck were we thinking. Villa spent £6m on that donkey and somehow broke even in selling him.

Then to make it worse rejected I think a 5 mil bid from Leeds soon after we went down.

George saville. The fee rather than the player. Felt like panic after we'd flogged bamford and had to justify it by throwing some cash.

 

[Lottowyn]

Well it looks like we are safe from signing donkeys this time.

 

[futureboy]

Am I right in remembering Kei Kamara was a deadline day signing? If so, him.

There was nothing wrong with Lambo's fax machine or with his fax machine loading prowess.
It was Ipswich's machine that was the weak link.
A paper jam hadn't been cleared. Or paper not loaded. Or the toner cartridge hadn't been shuggled. Something basic anyway.
Amateur hour.
Although Lamb should have WAITED FOR THE CONFIRMATION PAGE TO PRINT OUT AT HIS END

Mind you, it was Phil Whelan so it didn't really matter after all.

 

[Expat Smoggie]

Another Michael Ricketts would be fine by me as long as the deal hasn't been unwritten by Citeh. lol

We have made some odd last day deals. Ricardinho who was never played, Debeve who got maybe a handful of appearances, was Haas a deadline signing too? Just a waste of energy in bringing them in and paying wages.

Whoa!!!! Debeve was signed as an unattached player in February 2002. (And what a signing)

The Jan window was introduced in the 2002/2003 season, so Jan 2003

Was Miller a deadline signing from Aberdeen in the Strachan days?

He was a centre forward that never scored for us.

It was £6m

Did we ‘steal’ Garry Monk from under their noses and they had to make do with Bielsa?

Who then signed a bunch of our players and won the classiest promotion ever.

 

[Sãu Paulo]

Gestede is the correct answer
