Think Blackpool paid a million for him? I’m quite positive about this one also.
Blackpool fans were describing him as basically a workhorse but there are some very tidy finishes in that comp.
Like the look of that.... look at the number 5 at the very end of the clip./. Matt Pennington...
I thought the Palmer signing was weird to begin with. Good player on his day but too inconsistent and doesn’t work hard enough to be a number 8. He didn’t really suit Walter (which is why it was weird we signed him in the first place) and I imagine he suits Sellés even less.
He reminds me of Diamé in that he has that languid playing style about him. He’s a good dribbler and able to produce a bit of magic out of nowhere. Unfortunately, I don’t think he works hard enough off the ball to play as one of the number 8s under Sellés so he’s kind of in limbo. Even if Sellés goes back to 4-2-2-2, he still wants the two number 10s to work hard. He needs to be at a team that plays to his strengths.
We're in for Donaldinho...you heard it here first.
I’ll be annoyed if we get anything less than £4m for Giles
I remember when Huddersfield made the playoffs a few years ago, Sky made a big deal about Thomas' set piece delivery being their main source of attacking threat. Wouldn't mind a bit of that as I think apart from Kamara, who has other significant drawbacks, we don't have much quality of delivery in attack at all.
Prepare yourself...
A million for Giles is probably about right, he’s not as pivotal a signing to Boro as might have been a year ago.
His wages off the books for the rest of the season will save us nearly £1m alone, so the club will probably settle for a cut price deal. But given what he's done for Boro in the past and the fact they're bringing in £20m this January, i'd want £2m at a minimum.
I suspect it might be £2 million with a massive clause re their performance.

Interesting what he mentions at the end about it being the 3 year anniversary of Acun’s takeover tomorrow - “it hasn’t been dull and I get the sense what’s to come won’t be either” - transfer related or more? I could be overthinking it!
