He was at the training ground. That definitely happened. |  |

Those potholes in Playford Road won't have impressed him much. |  | |  |
| It makes me have a bit on 16:30 - Feb 10 with 2018 views | bsw72 | No guarantee it would have panned out the same way here - at Boro he knows the club, knows the team, is settled and he is *the* player. It may have been that the pressure of a big fee and the fact he would have been coming in to a new squad still taking shape would have knocked him off his stride.

Not sure about that, as already stated he would need to bed in, but we would certainly be above 'Boro! |  |

He may have also have had a feeling they were building a decent squad in their own right to be fair, you have to say he has made the right call Cajuste and Nunez are his replacements essentially |  |

He's a Boro fan, he was realistically never going to leave unless it was to the PL. There is likely nothing we could have done differently. |  | |  |

What a load of hypothetical nonsense. It doesn't work like that. He might not have fit our system. GOing off last night, we play nothing like they do. Most people thought Cajuste, Akpom etc were going to be "cheat codes". |  | |  |

As much to do with making Boro worse as improving us though. |  | |  |

Spurs? Supposed to be coming in with a bid, he waited, they didn't! Still, he'll probably go even if Boro go up. |  | |  |

Most felt the same on Cajuste, but that didn’t work out. |  |

I guess that might depend on where the Two clubs, Town and Boro find themselves in say Two years time. |  | |  |

Prem clubs have been sniffing around for a while there is clearly something they're seeing to put them off, especially if you look at how successful Wharton has been. Maybe he thinks he deserves a bigger club? |  | |  |

Hackney doesnt have the ledley king knee issue that cajuste seems to have |  |

Or he could have sustained a bad injury and be out for a few months. The way he’s been playing at Boro is a good indication that he would have performed well here but there’s no guarantee that that would have been the case. |  | |  |
