Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 What is the current situation regarding the "flair" South American signings we are all hoping to arrive at MFC. To be honest I always think that if we have not captured the player within the first fortnight of declaring an interest then it never seems to happen. The two lads already mentioned might just might come to Middlesbrough on holiday Link to post Share on other sites

Payero deal has small financial complications according to Warnock, should be sorted though. The other South American signings no one even knows the names of. Lazaro has been mentioned, but only by an itk not any media reports iirc Link to post Share on other sites

For an untested 20 year old with very little first team experience, that seems like a very dangerous gamble for us. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's why they're trying to do so many offers as loans with obligations. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing more upfront and smaller instalments in exchange for a lower sell on %. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I feel that some of the people who fall out of love with Boro, do so because they don't manage their own expectations. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Boroinredcar 170 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 58 minutes ago, TeaCider24 said: At this point before last season, we had signed Grant Hall, whilst losing Friend, Ayala, Shotton, Gestede, Morrison, Pears and Clayton plus the loanees. We didn't make a second signing until the day before the opening game. This time we've lost Johnson, Fletcher, Assombalonga, Mendez-Laing, Archer, Saville, Wing and the loanees, but have already brought in 5 replacements with more on the way, the season doesn't start for another 11 days and the transfer window doesn't shut for well over a month. We're in a much more stable place than the start of last season financially too. Yes but its the quality or lack of it we have brought in so far that worries me. Would not of been bothered on jot if we had not signed any of the players we have so far. Link to post Share on other sites
