'Other Boro stuff'


Recommended Posts

Not sure if posted elsewhere but our former striker Jakupovic has joined Juventus on a loan until the end of the season with a view to buy.

 

Hope we have a sell on clause. Seem to have screwed the pooch on that one.

 

We are quoted as saying we had an offer for him which we considered more than he was worth so we took it. So a plus point for the recruitment team . Apparently juve offered to buy him before empoli but we quoted them 10million euros so they walked away. So you can only guess how much we got for him

 

It was reported at the time we sold him for £1m

 

Who knows what buy on fees we get or don’t but if you’ve got a young lad and get offered more than you think he’s worth then why not sell.  He hasn’t made it at juve yet by any stretch he may never play so let’s not say weve ballsed up just yet

 

We sold him for 1/6th of Rudy Gestede and 12 months later he's signed for the top club in Italy, probably top 5 in the world.

A great Athletic article on our youth recruitment in London (copied from the other site): Saturday afternoon in the north London postcode of N22: on White Hart Lane a steady stream of fans make t

The Times interview today with Chuba. I’ve missed all the pics out as I don’t know how to get the whole article across and it’s behind a firewall, but you get a good feeling of what he thinks.  

Superb article from The Athletic published today... Gives you a real sense that something special is being built. We've been crying out for this for so long.   Michael Walker 2h ago  2

So did Ronnie O’Brian some time ago. You could also say we sold him for ten times the amount we paid for Friend. Hundreds of youngsters sign for top clubs every year without making it. I’m with rich here. If we don’t see enough in a young lad then I’d rather sell instead of letting him go a bit later down the line. The academy needs to run. He hasn’t even made it at Empoli so that makes me think there is more to this transfer than what meets the eye.

I think they're both alright tbh. They do their best in the absence of the genius that Brownlee was. Ali's best partner on the radio was undoubtedly Bernie Slaven for me and Maddo isn't even half as daft as Slaven was sometimes.

Wasn't a fan of Slaven, he had players he really disliked then went after whenever we played bad. I remember him being all over players like Rochemback and Doriva, even Juninho till he started getting bite back from the fans.

 

I liked Ali with Gill.

Honestly, I can't stand the current commentary team. The main commentator sounds like hes having a panic attack for the entire 90 minutes.. and Maddo .. the best you can say about him is he's passionate.

 

Me neither. They both seem like nice guys but the main commentator in particular comes across as quite patronising sometimes.

Main commentator Mark Drury's vocal intonation is constantly set to "hey, you should be surprised at this", even over the most mundane comments. It's really strange and annoying.

 

Rob Law (guy on the touchline) sounds like a children's TV presenter.

 

I think Maddo's alright like..! Though he doesn't always say what he's thinking in the phone-ins, like he's been briefed to go easy on the players/manager/club.
