Boro's deal for Onyewu is no more

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that the club are withdrawing their bid for Standard Liege player Oguchi Onyewu. The news that Middlesbrough were chasing the player came around in early June but Southgate confirmed that he would not be doing any more work on signing the USA player.

"I don't think we will be taking that one any further," said Southgate

11 July

he was a free-kick conceding machine wasn't he? The US didn't exactly have the best defensive record.

he's 6'4", 210 lbs.

you know the standard of officiating at this year's Cup.

you know referees don't like the US.

2 + 2 + 2 = he got f**ked over.

well, you can take it any way you like I guess. Sounds to me like all parties are trying to save face.

I wasn't aware there was an anti-US bias in the refereeing fraternity

you didn't watch our matches closely then.

ffs, the only penalty Onyewu gave away was that joke that Merk found up his ass.

[retired_frogchickie]

fair enough, that was a bit of a harsh penalty.

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it was mutual, but I've got to protect my boy

Let's both stick our own stories and we'll be happy
