Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

Morrison? Maybe cost too much, would definitely love someone like Moore but again, I don't know their budget.

Yeah im on about realistic. Boro couldnt afford Morrison or Moore.

Cardiff City have rejected an opening bid from Championship rivals Middlesbrough for Ciaron Brown, TEAMtalk understands.

Brown has one-year left on his current deal, although the Bluebirds also have an option on the Northern Ireland international. Mick McCarthy used Brown in the run-in to the end of the season and is an admirer of the defender.

The 23-year-old has spent the last couple of seasons on-loan in the Scottish top-flight with Livingston.

However, Boro are now trying to land him and it will be the second time for Neil Warnock, who took him to Cardiff in 2018 after spotting him playing for non-league Wealdstone.

Boro have now seen their opening bid rejected by Cardiff, and we understand there is interest from other Championship sides in the left-sided defender.

----

Warnock has his own grand ideas of how Middlesbrough can make a splash in the summer window.

In another exclusive, we recently revealed the veteran firebrand is in talks over a remarkable triple reunion of players he has formerly managed at Cardiff.


That was the Sol Bamba, Kadeem Harris and Junior Hoilett story!

Brown's passing ability seems non existent, and his long balls seem to have a life of their own. Warnock loves that, 4 year deal beckons.

He does look a lot like a 90s magician - sadly though his left foot is not like wand. Maybe they just want to book him for the Christmas party.

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

I'd settle for half of that.

Yes but Warnock likes paying silly over the odds money for some players

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

Depends who the agent is. An ex player of his (can't remember his name) used to cut a deal with subs that he put on with a couple of minutes to go when the game was over. He'd take a percentage of their appearance bonus, £50 or something like that. It's on the Undr the cosh podcast.

Chris Morgan said it but it has been said by loads. Jason Puncheon called him all sorts on twitter about stuff like this, and then a month later he was managed by Warnock .

Morgan said that if the player got a club fine, he'd give half to a charity that Warnock would pick and then half on a blank cheque that Warnock would decide who was deserving later... ie himself

Yup, bent as ****. Morgan was his boy as well

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

What makes me laugh about Brown is that McCarthy had him recalled because a mate of his who scouts in Scotland put in a good word about him.
Surely the club has people monitoring the performance of its players that are out on loan already, rather than relying on the manager’s friend?

It's a bit of a strange one when he had no chance when Warnock was manager.

I don't mind Brown, he fills a gap and probably on a lower wage compared to others. He is lacking in a few areas though so if any kind of decent offer comes in I wouldn't be concerned it he went.

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

Can’t see him improving to a level where he’s first choice on the team sheet as a CB but he’s certainly not being helped being played as a full back/wing back

Very rare have a ever seen it work - Bruno only one springs to mind

[Hilts]

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

He doesnt look anywhere near the standard of a Championship wing back to me.

Im suprised weve turned down any cash offer. Maybe his wages are so low we are happy to keep him even if hes 5th choice.

Re: Ciaron Brown wanted by Boro?

A lot have said that Giles has been brought for wing back but i've been unsure and I notice MM made reference to Giles playing further forward the other day.
I really hope we don't see Brown at wingback again.
