I think if you divide minutes on the pitch with his salary it works out at £400,098 per second.

How much is that per fan erection?
That's weird.

Probably for the best, though he was bought by a set up with poor coaching and then by a coach working in a crisis. Could develop into a good player under a good coach, which is what Boro have, but I reckon he will be abroad in a year.

As long as we have some sell on clauses in there is don't care about him going.

Depending on his contract, how he performs and boro's fate.. who knows. I'm just glad he's off our books with that ridiculous incentivized contract. I honestly think he'll be a bust, just too much of a liability if the team isn't pressing forward.

Like Okore another player we had so much hope for and who showed so much potential. Speaking for myself not gutted at all only because we are not losing much. He barely played and he wanted to leave.

The few times I've seen Traore in action I thought he had brilliant speed but clumsy with the ball just the attributes that Gabby had. Great if we can get decent money for him.

I'm happy to move him on, but he's got oodles more talent with the ball than gabby.

No comparison with the gabby of 07 to 2011. At least Gabby HAD a track record, Adama has none

I'd be surprised if he was a success at Boro, and that's not taking anything away from them. He wasn't disciplined enough for Barca either.

May he fail like at Villa. Hate the thought that we were the problem and not him

I wholeheartedly agree with you, TV. He was done here & it was high time everybody had a fresh start. Hopefully his replacement will now make the most of his new challenge with us. Fingers crossed eh?
