    I hope Boro's medical team are ready for Gaston, he will have his own bed in there in a couple of weeks when he realises he will have to run about a bit

    Oh I wasn't pleasuring myself, I was being pleasured. Whether it involved a traffic cone, will remain between me and the Archbishop.

    We've spent almost £50mil on Gaston and Osvaldo. They are basically the reason's for us being frugal in our transfer dealings. Good. Riddance.

    If rumours are believed to be true, neither were singed with due process or diligence. Stick to the system fellas.

    Don't think we are allowed to singe players...health and safety and all that. ;)

    I agree with you Tom That description might be reserved for the likes of Fabregas as he manages to get opponents deliberately sent off by feigning an injury or a slap in the face. Remember one instance when he was playing for Arsenal against Everton and he managed to get Arteta sent off by doing exactly what I have said.

    They certainly had an impact but to say the last few years of transfers have completely revolved around those two players fees is mad

    Bloody loan, means he goes on a free in summer. Would at least have thought someone would pay a few mil for him.

    Presumably nobody has come in for him as the fact he is willing to go on loan to Hull and Boro suggests he isn't holding out for a big side. Wages a problem I guess.

    I think it will have had a massive impact. Around 120k a week on two players that don't play (plus transfer fee payments) will have severely hampered us. We aren't big enough to soak up fees like that.

    We've brought in far more money than that over the last few years through player sales alone

    Besides its not as if the fees are *that* much different, compared to our other signings - Wanyama, Mane, Forster Tadic all similar fees to Ram/Osvaldo.

    Transfers are gambles, those two in particular did not work out.

    Spurs/Man City were still paying Adebayor £175,000 a week and he wasn't playing for them. i think Spurs are still paying him £100,000 a week even though they've released him

    We're not the only team to make mistakes....top sides seem to employ a scattergun technique and often end up with expensive subs. Overall I reckon we've done better than most.

    Still never understand why people get so worked up over stuff like this. Ramirez is a sunk cost. We're not getting that money back by sending him on loan for half a season.

    I liked Gaston, always gave it his all. Didn't silk just had big injury problems and whenever he got a good run in the side he would get an injury.

    Also, he wasn't very much suited to the league. Saying he did nothing is un true, got a few assists and goals in his time with us and caused no trouble. Southampton signed him and gave him the contract, don't go slagging the player.

    But he's the only chance we have of pulling ourselves out of this slump.


    Oh.

    I wish him all the best. Even if he was ultimately as disappointing as I expect the Dad's Army movie will be.

    Ripping his shirt off and handing it to an Everton fan will always stick with me. Was he hoping for a fans' petition on Merseyside?

    Needs a word with the taste police though. Hull and now Middlesborough? Poor boy.

    He didn't always "give his all" He often went hiding and he NEVER got it that you can't dwell on the ball in this league. I don't understand how a professional can get caught in possession time after time after time and not learn from it. Same goes for underhitting passes.

    He did sulk, a lot. Most of those "groin strains" miraculously seem to come on when he was told he'd be on the bench instead of starting.

    He wasn't a nasty troublemaker, more of an immature kid and not the brightest either. Few of those in football, but bottom line is, he was given chances, and HE didn't take them. The fact that 3 excellent managers (all of which are very different characters) didn't rate him & didn't trust him, says it all for me.
