Good bit of business.

All the hard work done by Mr Woods and his staff have benefited Middlesborough and we get a few quid for our troubles. Good luck to him, cannot blame him for leaving to go to a bigger club GTFC going no where so he is better off where he is.

This is a difficult one. If he has that much potential it’s a shame to lose him so soon. And for the lad you’ve got to wonder if he’s just going into a big pool of other potential players and get no competitive experience.

It’s a good pat on the back for the Youth set-up but if we get naff all for him what is the point if we have neither player nor money to show for it.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I suppose on the more positive side, it might help attract good young players to sign up in the first place

We score nil every game yet this fella is so impressive we haven't played him. We cannot afford decent strikers, but apparently we had one on our books and he doesn't get a game. He is so good and despite him being in the building we were unable to get him to sign a pro contract at such a young age and instead we let him go for peanuts.

Terrific.

Good business by the club.

100k for the club, and local lad has more of a chance to become a full time pro.

If it doesn't work, like that lad that went to Hull that time, then we delighted with the money.
If it goes well, and he sells for more money in the future, then we get more money for the add-ons.

Face it, he wasn't going to get much game time here, so more youth training at Middlesbrough will do him well

Hmmmm. It would have been nice to actually see him play a FEW full games for Town. But then I get the fact that Boro' are buying 'potential' and around 100k for potential?! So, you damned if you do, and you damned if you don't.

This is football. Unless you got an oligarch or a saudi prince, (which I would NEVER want anyway) we have to sell. We are always going to be survivalists, unless I win the jackpot tonight!

Hats off to the Mariners Trust, who do a lot of fundraising for the youth.

He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

He's from Birmingham.

Close enough for Martin Butler to commute to training.
