JonnyMFC 1,535 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just now, Sam said: So if we were to sign choudhury, we’d have to pay a percentage of his £60,000 wage while also dropping howson to the bench who is on £25,000. Boro were never in for choudhury and I can almost guarantee that Howson on £25k? 😂 - Do you do stand up in your spare time? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AllBoro10 2,235 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Howson is not on 25K he’s had 2 wage reductions ffs 1 Link to post Share on other sites
T-CIDER 627 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Shame we didn't go in for Shackleton at Leeds before they loaned him to Millwall Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,941 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Absolutely no way howson is on 25k. He's been signed on for one year extensions the last two seasons and I'd expect his wage to go down each time due to his age 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Boro were never in for choudhury and I can almost guarantee that one of our members confirmed he had spoken to kieren scott who was trying to find who was leaking information to fans then followed it up that we were signing him so we must have been in for him as that was 10,000% facts 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Boro were never in for choudhury and I can almost guarantee that Howson has signed two new contracts in the last two years on reduced terms each time AFAIK. He's not going to be on 25k p/w 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Got to be top priority. Although the way Maddo was going on yesterday you'd think we had prime Viera in midfield. Patience Grasshopper. In order to bag top quality signings, one must be like the praying mantis...silent, unmoving, only striking when the time is right... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So who else shares a similar skillset to Choudhury and does want to come here? I think the point is there isnt many players with his skillset, hes only came to the championship because he hasnt took the opportunities he should have at Leicester Link to post Share on other sites

Sam 14 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Yeah probably right Howson isn’t on as high as he was when he first signed but he still still one of the highest earners at the club and I do not believe one bit that we were speaking to choudhury on that type of wage Link to post Share on other sites

Very similar skillset and profile to Choudhury, hasn't been featured in Brentford's plans at all really only starting a 1 game since 2nd January. They may well be willing to loan him out. I obviously have no idea whether he'd be available or not but I don't see why we can't look at players like that as options. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. I thought it was a bit of a dig that we should have been looking at Choudhury. Still seems a bit odd to assume that we aren't already looking at similar players.

The 5 subs rule is going to be a bit of a stumbling block for prem loans this season I think Link to post Share on other sites
