[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Goal return at Boro has been poor

Would score for fun up here...

 

[Bothwell Street Bear]

They don’t like britts

 

[CoopBlue]

mentally challengeds won't want to sign a 'Britt'

 

[The Iceman]

Both old firm clubs = agent speak

 

[Wugs]

 

[Johnny Yen]

I can imagine my old boy trying to pronounce his name, I dread to think what he will refer to him as instead.

 

[Rooster]

Agent season

Does he run about laughing all the time.

 

[GeckoBear29]

First reply nails it as per

 

[temperance]

I take it this would be a loan deal?

 

[Middlesbrough_Gers]

I take it this would be a loan deal?

He's in his last year at Boro so imagine he would go for 5-6m in an attacking side he scores goals, like I say though it's just rumour

 

[Arkanoid]

Nah

Cost of that name on the back of your shirt!

 

[Disraeli]

Given the money Boro paid for him, he’ll be on a ridiculous wage as well.

Can’t see it unless he’s taking a big paycut

 

[NorthSideBlue]

I can imagine my old boy trying to pronounce his name, I dread to think what he will refer to him as instead.

I feel your pain, my old man called our Ukrainian Midfielder “ big Ma-high-lo “ and he called our diminutive USA winger “ wee Mark Doo-Beasley “

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Cracking big player. Exactly what we need. Would love this to be true.

 

[LLLG]

Shite

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

The mentally challengeds would change his name.

Charlie Adams
Alfredo Morales
Steven Davies

What chance have half the support got of getting Assombalonga right.

I'll always remember my Grandpa's attempts to pronounce Zurab Khizanishvili.

 

[Davie Weir]

8 goals, 2 assists this season in the Championship. Not a terrible record but not great and hasn’t really lived up to his price tag at Boro.

Tbf he would score goals up here and if Alfredo was to leave he’d be a very good option for £5-6 million or so?

Mibees no one wants to give him a wage like that anymore. He has to go with what he can get and then if he has what it takes he can go on to higher things financially.

 

[The Underfaker]

If this means we can do the Britt Assombalonga Song them im in !

 

[jweebear]

Eh, aren't the filth support always shouting Britts out.

 

[NorthSideBlue]

What’s his song ?

 

[Teessidebear]

Bloody hope not. He’s very overrated!

Starting to think I've got a cold with all this Sniff Sniffing

 

[The Underfaker]

Do do do (his name) to the tune “Do The Conga” by Black Lace

 

[thenorthseabear]

My mate is a Boro fan and says he’s absolutely garbage.

Bad enough that my mum thinks we've got a centre half called Highlander

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

He’s good
He’s shite
A great signing
No thanks


Think that covers it

Goulston

 

[RFC Euro Bus]

He’s meant to be on about 60k a week!

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

He has Sebo vibes when you watch him play.

 

[Tony75tfc]

£15m for that haddy

 

[Hank]

Cost of that name on the back of your shirt!

What about the songs? At least it rhymes with conga.

 

[aghalee_hero]

Scored plenty of goals before Boro and did for a while after he signed didn't he? Could be one of those players that needs a new challenge, or got 60k a week and can't be fucked any more.

Shocking isn’t it ! New members posting....well done for making them feel welcome though.

 

[55degreesnorth]

I'm sure he had a cracking season in league 1 a few years ago, has dined out on that ever since. Part of the reason I'm wary about the Toney links.

 

[Copeland road]

was this the same guy that played for Forrest

If it’s the same guy ,think he had a good record there

 

[Kaba]

I mentioned we should sign him and McNair a couple months back

 

[Jason2101]

Cheers. I’ll invite the poster round for tea and biscuits if we sign him. Next time I’ll get the bunting out, flags and the red carpet.

 

[rossgers]

Not as good as Rumours in Paisley.

Why not just take the day off ?

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

We are always both after the same player which neither of us sign. Funny that.
