Folarin Balogun

Just remember we paid 2mil to loan Hugill (not counting what percentage of his wage we paid).

So we ain't shy of throwing money at a loan. Just seems short sighted having 3 loan forwards. A lot of expense on something that's not ours.

To be fair Steve gibson might think we have a real shot of being promoted this season. Weakest the league has been in a long time in my opinion. I think we have a good chance against any of the play off sides

We've loaned some shockers in recent seasons. Nmecha, Van La Parra. Championship experience is the way forward in my view, not kids.

Buy em or loan, doesn't matter, if they score goals they are worth the money. We have bought plenty of non scoring dross over the years.

Understand where you are coming from, but think you have picked out the wrong two players to prove your last sentence!

I’d agree with him.

Van La Parra was the dodgiest deal I can ever recall being done by the Boro. A Tony Pulis signing as I recall

 

[fassy]

Pulis has had more backhanders than Roger Federer

 

[sambaDTR]

Wilder has been trying to sign Balogun for two years. Has he finally got his man?

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Derby fans going metal on twitter.....

'how can they afford him?' 'hope they blow FFP' etc.

The majority of Boro fans commenting saying 'spending that 45mil you owe us'

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Okay I've just seen this piece of magic at 2:32 and I'm happy for us to pay the full £40k

Two things;

1) What an exciting player!
2) He won't be on the pens...

No that’s Ricardinho

Ooh he looks exciting

Just read we are paying his agent fees.....Do you get agent fees for a loan move ?

I doubt we’re paying anywhere near the sh1te being bandied about. Unless it’s one of those where if we don’t play him when he’s fit we pay the full amount if he plays they pay a big chunk of it

Funny how not a word about his wages before today was there

but boro get him and whoa 40k a week.

 

[Redwurzel]

Didn't we send Van la Parra back soon after he got injured or got our money back?

Bamford was a loan that worked well.

Arsenal will loan out young players relatively cheaply to get experience, say £15k to 20k/week.

He was here for 3 months and didn't make a single start.

40k a week at 20.......you don't even have to 'make it' and you've made a few quid.

He best be good at those kind of loan prices. Apparently Wilder wanted him at Sheff UTD. So I'm guessing it's longterm scouting.
