bhoywhonder Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Boro mate reckons were 1 of 3 clubs after their Traore, with Chelsea being the players preferred move. Im sure it is, he can 'Bogarde' his way to retirement without kicking a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The same Traore marked out of the game by Alan Hutton twice in a week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 To be fair, he was actually man marked. Hard for anyone to do anything when the rest of the team is so shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What are traore's stats like? In premier league with boro Karanka switched what flank he was playing on at half time so he was always near the bench and he could shout instructions at him. May be Karanka being rubbish but could also be with him not being able to listen to coaching. if he doesn't pay attention he won't get on with Rafa.

xLiaaamx Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 He's been really good since Pulis came in, suprisingly. For all he's a knacker he's just let Traore do his thing and it's worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 He got like a dozen assists last season and nearly all of them came in the 2nd half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any idea why we always pay up front for players but accept staged payments for the ones we sell ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any idea why we always pay up front for players but accept staged payments for the ones we sell ? the buying idea is to offer money up front and get the player for a cheaper overall fee as i recall it, and the selling one is because noone else would be stupid enough to do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any idea why we always pay up front for players but accept staged payments for the ones we sell ? I’d imagine Ashley got heavily stung when buying the club, he didn’t realise we still had to pay out £millions on transfer fees. Think it was said we still had to pay installments for players that no longer played for us. And staged payments for the ones we sell it’s cos no other club works that way and wouldn’t pay everything upfront Edit: Ashley’s statement in 2008 The club is still in debt. Even worse than that, the club still owes millions of pounds in transfer fees. I shall be paying out many more millions over the coming year to pay for players bought by the club before I arrived.

Twinport53 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any idea why we always pay up front for players but accept staged payments for the ones we sell ? I thought the accounts showed we actually owe 25 mil in staged payments and are due to receive 60mil? So maybe it's not always anymore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellars Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Any idea why we always pay up front for players but accept staged payments for the ones we sell ? My feeling is that it's a way for us to negotiate higher sale prices. For example, some clubs may be more willing to pay 15m spread over a few years, instead of 12M in a lump sum at close. Overall it makes buying our players more attractive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It’s also a good way for Ashley to say “we spent every penny we had” - because he’s deliberately manipulated the cash flows to be like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 We've bid 1,3m for Kerim Mrabti of Djurgården according to Belgian media. Fuck knows why Belgian media are reporting it though.
