Five players of ability who would not be on many Boro fans Christmas Cards list. All got the crime of treason against the Boro

Ayala (Spain)

Braithwaite (Denmark)

Gaston (Uruguay)

Valdes (Spain)

Ziege (Germany)

Not an English man among them. I want to point out that these were all quality players who withdrew their labour for various reasons. No wonder the club are wary of the foreign market.

 

We signed 3 of these from English clubs so I wouldn't really count that as using the foreign market.

Hi guys! PAOK fan here from Greece. You are getting a really hard worker in Akpom. He is a top lad and a good professional. When he first came, he was considered a bench player. It was the 2018-19 sea

Morsy nearly done

Williams fee nearly agreed. 1.75million rising to 2.5 (So 1.75 then 😂).

We always used to be known for picking up young Irish lads (metaphorically)...what we need is a fella who can bend the ears of a few promising players and telling them how much better life would be for them in the Boro...any one know a suc...wise intelligent person who could do that?

They would have to be world class to get a trial at the mighty Boro OC 😂

That's still about a fifth.  What proportion do you think it should be?

There’s not really a “right number” it just highlights our reluctance to go into the foreign market. Because of this we have spent a lot of money and now find ourselves in the position of cutting costs. 
Do you think that we’ve made the right decisions?

Having the fewest foreign players in the league says only one thing really...lack of ambition 

If you want to assemble the best squad you can afford why would you only shop in one place that happens to be the most expensive place?

If there isn't a right number then why are you mentioning the number at all?  Do I think we've made the right decisions in the transfer market?  Of course I don't, as I've said once or twice over the past few years.  I don't believe that the location of our purchases is the issue though, more the quality or lack of it.

Well, yeah, if you make a list of 5 foreign players there will not be an Englishman amongst them.

Carbon copy of ours in style, looks like it wasn't a bespoke Hummel design after all.

I mean, if you're saying "they have the same collar as us" then yes, I agree

Brexit means brexit

Gibson sure took back control from that European Victor Orta and everything worked out fine *swigs pint of Carling and continues to read the Evening Gazette’s sports section* 💪🇬🇧
