And this is where it gets sticky for the club, because these agents have access to a lot of clubs that wait in the wings for players they recommend to them, Boro will not be the only club in the wings some will be biding their time to see developments before coming out of the woodwork to show an interest plus the agents will probably already know which clubs are interested in greaves and now greaves will also have been informed of this hence the stand off. These are top agents so if they recommend Greaves to a club they will take notice.
He played every game last season and rarely put a foot wrong. If the rumours were about him going to a Prem club, I’d get that sentiment, but the main suitors right now are Boro. He’s proven at this level which is why replacing him with a foreign player from Turkey is a huge risk.
Seems to have been a shift in targets, both the last 3 names have been domestic targets. Dervisoglu, Laryea and Ngakia.
Just out of interest, what sort of wages would Middlesbrough be offering? Can’t imagine they would be the highest in the league. Plus it’s a ****ing ****hole.
As they would only be training and playing there before going home to a more salubrious area it doesn’t really matter. How many City players we sign decide to live in Hull?
I was up that way on motorbike yesterday, and It really isn't mate - ten minutes out of Middlesbrough and you're in beautiful countryside, the equal of anywhere else in this country.
Lots of prem teams have him on their radar and this contract situation is being followed with interest by some of them
Yeah I know mate, I used to work up there many years ago, and agreed some beautiful places close by, I was just being daft. Maybe it’s memories of visiting Ayrsome Park back in the 80s that clouds my judgment, but I really dislike the town. Anyway can they be offering massive wages?
Four of this seasons signings live in the old town/marina area. Others stop at the Tree Top Hilton until something permanent can be found.
he's said there's no way we're close despite the HDM reporting FA compliance meetings, Kessler and Acun saying the same thing. My 'view' is what is being reported.
