Changing Times 12,347 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 From Sky ROBSON-KANU TO BORO? Middlesbrough are still hoping to secure a loan deal for West Brom’s Hal Robson-Kanu, Sky Sports News understands. But a deal is looking increasingly unlikely, we understand, due to lack of potential replacement options for the West Midlands side. West Brom will only allow Robson Kanu to leave if they can get a replacement in before the 5pm deadline. Why?!? Seriously what is wrong with our recruitment team. We really don't have the time :D Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 BBC midlands guys yesterday said they didn't think Boro were done with HRK and the only reason the straight loan got rejected is WBA will only consider a 6 million pound sale I think this might be why you saw Fletcher/Gestede rumours pick up in recent days...

Even better if it's an animated GIF. Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone think TP said he wasn't getting his targets so people think that HRK isn't one of his but the clubs, and we can't blame it on him if we get HRK? Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It has been reported that the majority of our Premier league windfall went on wages which isn't a massive surprise. We spent £57.1m on wages, that is wages for every single employee of Middlesbrough Football Club. There was about £7.5m in social security costs and £350k in pension costs. Ok fair enough so it all wasn't spent on wages, I wonder what our incoming vs outgoings were like for the promotion campaign. I'd guess we'd be around break even if you looked at the last five years, I certainly don't think Gibson is writing big cheques to himself out of the club's money. Link to post Share on other sites
