Mfcdanny 770 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Can’t help but feel they rushed the roberts one out straight after the howson announcement. You’d think they would drag it out a few hours… unless there could be more announcements Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Happy with Howson signing as long it's as a squad player role. I just have this concern that because Howson is a model pro/experienced he's always gonna get way more game time than his actual performances on the pitch deserve. Possibly at the cost of other players we'd like to see get minutes like say a Payero. Link to post Share on other sites

Youngy228 1,444 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 From Sky Sports Roberts signs for Middlesbrough Goalkeeper Liam Roberts has left League Two Northampton to sign for Championship Middlesbrough. The 27-year-old played every one of the Cobblers' 46 league games last term and, according to manager Jon Brady, leaves on excellent terms. "Liam was good for us and we were good for Liam," he said. "We identified Liam when he was available last summer as part of our thorough recruitment process and not only did he do very well for us, we worked with Liam to not just help and improve his overall game but to get his career moving in an upward direction again. "We were keen to try and keep hold of Liam and we made several good contract offers but in the end the chance to move to the Championship and a club like Middlesbrough was an excellent opportunity for him and I think everyone understands that. "We thank Liam for his efforts and wish him well for the future. This was not unexpected and we are progressing our work to recruit a goalkeeper." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He renegotiated it with the club at the end of that season. I think if I recall he just had a option for another year in his contract what he activated the first time, after that think he has had pay cuts each deal but he wants to be here and live in north east so been fine with everything. Looked it up and found what I saw on the gazette, didn't mention it was like downings based on games played etc, just comes across like he had the option but maybe it was there to take if he played so many games or stayed so many years. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jonny-howson-pens-middlesbrough-contract-18502528 Link to post Share on other sites
