Didn’t want this fella before the season got underway. Definitely don’t want him now. Warnock labelled him ‘lazy’. Doesn’t fit in with what GM is trying to build.

Odd then that Warnock has been chasing him for Boro

Played well for him at Cardiff, think this may be a case of Colin trying to throw other teams off the track.

If Middlesbrough’s results don’t improve Warnock won’t be there much longer.

Fingers crossed - would love for us to win first 5 games and them lose all theirs and us be 3 points in front of them after 5 games - now wouldn't that be hilarious - imagine steve gibson's face

 

Oooh ..and then the same week we win appeal and get some points back .... double hilarious

Out of interested when did Warnock say he was lazy? In the last few days?

okay that’s interesting, as has been said Warnock is meant to be trying to get him to Boro so can’t be too bad.  Some players are lazy but come alive in the final third, or lazy in training and then great on match days

The team spirit and graft is something that's being talked about in every interview and visible on the pitch.

I trust Monk and Co to not bring in people who may upset that so if he does come i'm sure his attitude will be right.

Article about him hitting form for Cardiff and Warthog saying he has been lazy previously.

I was lazy in training and then worse on matchdays.

Apparently Derby interested as well now, we might end up getting priced out of this one.

Well, apparently, since West Brom’s promotion to the Premiership, the terms of Zohore’s contract have seen his wages double to £50,000 per week.

 

I am now understanding why agreeing his wages for a loan move is a problem. My guess is that he’ll probably sit his contract out in £50k per week to do nothing.

 

You never know though.

Or even that he is hungry enough to take a pay cut to play regular football? Otherwise move on anyhow?

I think they’d bulk at the thought of that idea.....

We'd be best off in the long run signing a reasonably young striker permanently, rather than loaning a top flight player on big wages, that we probably won't be able to sign at the end of their loan. If we can afford to bring in a striker for a transfer fee, I'd look at the lower leagues or abroad. The likes of Kayden Jackson and Macauley Bonne, and others are generating Championship interest. Although Zohore would suit us, we might be better off looking for someone on less wages and on the rise.
