What player were you most pleased about leaving Boro?

[TeessideCleveland]

Preferably not talking about Britt what player were you really pleased about leaving Boro in the past?

For me it was Mido , who just seemed to be a negative presence around the club

Gazza a distant 2nd, as he was way past his best - proved when he came back here for Everton in the cup match

 

[TeaCider]

Braithwaite.

Hated him by the end, appalling attitude from a player getting paid a fortune, and I desperately hope that Barcelona don't carry on their revival and pip Atletico Madrid to the title.

 

[Jedi boro]

Rudi I couldn’t understand why we signed at the time and he turned out to be a complete joke.

oh and marlon king shameful he even darkened our door

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

King, Braithwaite, Mido, Ramirez but especially Yakubu after his disgraceful and shameful throwing of his game v Wigan.

 

[kuepper]

Ramirez was shameful at Stoke, subbed at half time for not trying in such an obvious and disgusting way, so insulting to those like me who had travelled there and get that from arguably our most talented player

 

[gravy173]

Gestede, should never have signed him after the court case, woeful for villa and then he signed for us.

 

[Tallywacker]

The above confirms that we should be investing in young British talent and mixing it with a few old heads who have the right attitude. That would be a team to be proud of.

No it doesn’t as merson Gazza Gary O’Neil we’ve had our fare share of British players take the mick out of the club as well.

in fact for every Ramirez there been a festa or a zenden.

it’s not about the nationality it’s about the mentality.

 

[futureboy]

Espinosa, Barragan, Fischer and all the other frauds who signed on with stars in their eyes, failed to keep us in the PL and then couldn't wait to get out after we were relegated.

 

[Craggyjohn]

Alves, pleased we got most of our money back. Dreadful player.

 

[Hap]

Mark Yeates and Dave Kitson for me. Both divisive characters who didn't really want to commit to (or in Kitson's case even play for) the club.

Also Mido - fat, lazy and spoilt.

 

[indeedido]

Only 86 more days to see the back of "Britt"

 

[Craggyjohn]

Plastic legs Thompson and Digard

 

[Grrreds]

Mark Yeates and Dave Kitson for me. Both divisive characters who didn't really want to commit to (or in Kitson's case even play for) the club.

I agree about Yeates. I checked him on wiki and he has played for 17 clubs in 18 seasons (5 on loan to be fair) and he hasn't got to 100 appearances for anyone. I think that tells its own story.

 

[parmoboy]

Might be controversial to say this but, Downing after his 2nd spell.

 

[DanBoro4499]

Might be controversial to say this but, Downing after his 2nd spell.

I get where you're coming from but he has more composure on the ball than all of our current squad put together

 

[asredastheycome]

Strachan not a player for us but he was a player.

 

[McBrid]

Braithwaite.

Hated him by the end, appalling attitude from a player getting paid a fortunately, and I desperately hope that Barcelona don't carry on their revival and pip Atletico Madrid to the title.

He is my choice too. I do hope hope Barca win the title though but that’s because I love messi more than I dislike Braithwaite.

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Mido undoubtedly. We knew he was "temperamental" i.e. lazy and stroppy but when he arrived he was overweight as well.

 

[HarryVegas]

I'll get pelters for this, but Emerson. He was undoubtedly a marvellous player when he wanted to be and I watched him do some amazing things on the pitch but he actively took the **** and dragged us through the gutter press with his antics, having gone AWOL.

There have been legions more who I wouldn't have paid tuppence for over the decades, but he stands out for me purely because the gap between his demonstrable ability and what he often gave was so utterly depressing.
