Changing Times 12,343 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I thought it was said at the time that the deal for JLS was a loan but that it would be turned into a permanent deal pretty much whatever happened? Link to post Share on other sites

This is what the gazette put at the time: “reports from France suggest that Boro looks set to win the race to land Siliki, with a loan agreement involving a 'quasi-obligation' to buy him next summer. RMC Sport claim, subject to particular conditions being matched, Boro would be obligated to buy Siliki next summer for a fee of €2.5m.” There was another report which I can’t find which claimed the obligations were stupidly easily to hit. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that's what I remembered. Maybe that's why we don't play him at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't make much sense at the time since i'd never heard of him, but it was definitely mentioned on OneBoro. America. His parent club is Charlotte FC, a newly formed team added via expansion to the MLS who haven't even played in it yet due to the pandemic, though they're due to feature in the 2022/23 season which starts in February. I still find it crazy that anyone with enough money can create a football team in America and then just buy their way into the top division. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Only easy to hit if he is actually playing. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the loan terminated if we get someone else in. Or we could see him come into the team and thrive but haven’t seen anything from him in a boro shirt so far to suggest this will happen 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boronutter 149 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 he does seem a very energetic type of playerthat probs would suit our team but he hasnt been fully fit or swanning off to international games are not helping his cause.dont think we will have the option to send him back either Link to post Share on other sites

I do wonder if we realise we have signed a donkey and are making sure we don’t come close to meeting obligations. 20 minutes ago, Denzel Zanzibar said: He hasn't even been playing in the u23s has he, he's literally been sat on our bench nearly the entire time he's been here. It’s bizarre especially as when he has played he hasn’t looked like a footballer. His touch and decision making even on simple passes has been awful. Whether that’s fitness related, motivation or just ability I don’t know. If it’s fitness you would hope he would be doing all he can to get up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 962 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) He has played at champions league level so should be a capable player. But then why did they let him leave on loan? maybe just doesn’t suit the league who knows… we may never get to find out. worse loan signing then Folan ? 😂 Edited January 2, 2022 by Riverside94 Spelling Link to post Share on other sites

Youngy228 1,444 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I don't think the international breaks have helped JLS. He also doesn't seem to have got up to the fitness levels we would need (but difficult without games). Manager reluctant to change Howson Crooks etc. Same for Payero Also - he hasn't looked wonderful when coming on. Strange for me that he hasn't been playing for 23's though 1 Link to post Share on other sites
