James Léa Siliki (Rennes) takes charge of… Middlesbrough (Championship).
The Rennes player was, however, very much courted by Spanish club Alavès.
When everything seemed settled, Léa Siliki finally chose England

Could be the left sided cover / addition we are looking for. Looks ideal for the left wing / wingback role.

James Léa-Siliki will join Middlesbrough on loan with option to buy. The two clubs reached an agreement tonight

I've just posted a thread about this to! My bad!
But he's a central midfielder and looks exactly what that area is missing.
Finally a player who's turned down others to come here!

Blimey, if he's turned down other clubs to come to us he must be bloody awful. I blame Neil bauser. Boo. He's miles away from being good enough. Miles away.

The ‘keep him fit’ part of that tweet is a bit worrying.

The ‘keep him fit’ part of that tweet is a bit worrying.

Perhaps he read the thread on here about where you get the best pies, and decided this was the place for him.

Saw a tweet just then that said Watford were linked with him earlier in the summer.

We definitely need another body in midfield, hopefully this lad can fill that hole.

I've got a mate in Rennes; he says he's merde!

Don’t know him! By all accounts he is decent so that’ll do!

The ‘keep him fit’ part of that tweet is a bit worrying.

Just checked him out on youtube looks superb, checked him on whoscored and he has started less than 50 league games at the age of 25. MAde more sub appreances than league starts. He either wasn't trusted by managers, had top class players ahead of him, or was injured a lot. PRobably a combination of all of these.

Looks like he has real ability though.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Plenty of Siliki skills hopefully

 

[Michael_Vronsky]

So he'll agree terms, pass a medical, book his flight over.... THEN sign for someone else.

Not yet done for James Léa-Siliki at Middlesbrough. There could be a turnaround. Discussions are stuck today on some points. #mercato

something feels familiar about this situation but I just can't quite put my finger on it

You're thinking of all the times our signings went smoothly, flew under the radar and the club did a suprise unveiling once all the details were finalised.

Wait, hold on a second.

That deja vu feeling...
