Arskite 75 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 If he isn't getting paid, he's not working. ;) I realise mata is a class above what we've got But does anyone think if he isn't the special ones cup of tea would he be karankas I got the impression it was a personal issue between the two, not some inherent issue with the system. I think that's pretty apparent from some of Mata's displays at Chelsea. Just depends whether Mourinho has slagged him off to Karanka on the phone or something, but that all sounds very schoolgirl-esque to me. Honestly, aside from a relative lack of pace, Mata for our RM slot would be unbelievable. Seems unlikely at this point though, particularly because of the potential wage barrier.

Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Does anyone know when the appeal was placed for Gaston?? Just thinking if Subotic would of been heard at the same time etc??? Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,449 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Gaston Ramirez is on stuanis photo of the lads going to Marbella, is that allowed? Maybe he can work in Spain without having a UK work permit. The Uruguay playmaker had been awaiting his work permit after agreeing a three year deal to join Boro. But his precious paperwork was rubberstamped over the weekend allowing him to fly into the country. And in a quick turn around after arriving last night and spending the night at Rockliffe he joined up with Aitor Karanka’s squad in time to jet out for the training camp in Spain. Ramirez signed a three year deal with Boro subject to a work permit application. His initial application was rejected but he won on appeal on the basis of “exceptional quality.” http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/gaston-ramirez-joins-up-middlesbrough-11628176#rlabs=2%20rt$sitewide%20p$5 says here his WP was rubber stamped over the weekend, he's signed!!!!
