Boyd signs for Boro but no mention of Bailey deal completed.

It seems that Middlesborough have completed the deal for Kris Boyd from Rangers but no mention of the Bailey deal being completed. It was thought that it was just waiting for the Boro Cheif Exec to sign off the deal, surely this would have been required for the Boyd deal as well!. Seems a little strange to me.

Maybe they don't want to splash two deals in the same day. Surprised Boyd didn't get a Prem side, although think he would have struggled at that level.

Maybe Bailey isn't actually in Middlesbrough today?

I heard a rumour he had to take his kiddy to the dentist. Family first, of course.

;o)

Probably holding a gun to our head re the fee.

Reduce it or else. Large pointed out that £1m rather than £1.4m is the figure now being banded about

Wasn't Boyd out of contract ?

I suspect we're getting £1m up front and £400,000 in potential add ons.Still excellant business IMHO

Still no official confirmation that he's a Boro player and it's been dragged out for a fair few weeks now...

Yep. And the more signings we make the greater the need to get the money in for Bailey. We're desperate and they are likely to exploit that fact.
