[cite]Posted By: LargeAddick[/cite]450k for Richardson was too good to turn down imo. Last year of his contract and we paid nought so really was a no brainer esp when we've had to pay Moo2 off to go, settlement for Waggott etc. What's worrying me now is as Len says are Boro now holding us to ransom over Bailey or is there a problem and the deal may be off. All speculation but it's worrying. I always thought that 1.4m was too good to be true so wouldnt surprise me to find out it's less. Only positive thought I have is would Docherty have signed if he knew Richardson was going and that we might not bring in some more decent players. He must have had other offers and surely he would only have signed if he thought we were going somewhere. After all he played for the League Champions last season. Unless he signed before the Richardson deal was mooted although it would seem that the purse strings have been loosened because of that transfer and not Bailey's. Another sobering thought is that if we can get Reid/Jackson for small or no fees then so can a number of other teams and at the moment they will be a more attractive proposition than us. Worrying times indeed.
Local paper in Middlesbrough apparently still reporting that certain people need to return from holiday to finish the paperwork. Hopefully that's all it is.
Jackson at least wants to come back to London, I'm sure he'd choose us over Dagenham and I don't see why not over Brentford or Leyton Orient.
Wyn Grant's blog says Boro have staff out in South Africa.
uhmm BUT they managed to get Boyd signed sealed and delivered on Monday so that doesn't wash. No problems our end as we signed two today. Something smells fishy to me.

And he will be teamed with Karim Bagheri.
To play ping-pong, most likely.
Seriously, I think it possible to cobble a contending League 1 side from a bunch of players that we haven't heard of before, but again this shows how disasterous the decisions made have been since Curbs was replaced.

Didn't get much of a chance did he? I actually thought he did OK in the 45mins he played.
It all started to go wrong after Omar left!
Addick & chips, probably.
