Boro have been linked with a stupid number of huge names for years, way back to the Bryan Robson days. Partly why I hate Bryan Robson, every fucking week he'd come out and say "Yes, we're interested in *world class player*" when they would NEVER move to Middlesbrough.
Besides which who have Middlesbrough signed recently who's world class?  |
paragraph a ignored
paragraph b - ok we have been linked with a stupid number of players over the past few years, no more than any over team though! come on all i read last summer was wolves are chasing *insert name*,wolves are in talks with, wolves have bid x amount for x player as they look to strenghten their side in hope of premiership survival. i can say i read the same about boro, charlton, newcastle, spurs, hell i even occasionally read chelsea were chasing people. come on its the same for every club and when robson said we were interested id say at least 6 times out of 10 when he said it we were and had contacted the other club about the player.
the last bit on paragraph b where you say they would NEVER (never being in capitals, clearly stating to myself that you are jelous of the signings boro have made over the years & have also never been to the area to see whats on offer to the players) sign for boro. i will say some names for you:
Bryan Robson - noone said he'd come here but he did.
Juninho - star of umbro cup, we got him
Ravinelli - european cup winner would never sign for boro, o hang on he did and scored 31 goals that season.
Paul Merson, Emerson,Southgate,Ince,Gazza,Geremi,Boksic etc. none of these players would ever play for boro but somehow they all did. can you explain this please Mr. MondayMorning ?
Paragraph c - please define world class as i havent seen wolves sign anone of this calibre unless you count carl cort
as SRS said mendieta is a world class player well lazio paid £28m for him so he must have something right?
in history there have only been about 2-3 players id say were world class - Pele, Usabio, Bobby Moore.
now if your talking who have boro signed that is good then juninho, zenden, doriva (world cup winner so could be classed as world class) etc.
your comments please MMM
