Middlesbrough FC ‏@Boro 35s36 seconds ago

CONFIRMED | The club is delighted to announce the signing of Jordan Rhodes from @OneRovers - http://bit.ly/1PaUIsq

Good luck Jordan. Great memories, but it was time.

There's the fishy bit

[JAL]

We're not going to spend the money tonight so what difference does it make??!!!

Rhodes he wants to go. He doesn't suit the way Lambert wants to play and the funds will be used to strengthen the squad as a whole.

I'm glad it's over.

What if the funds aren't there in the summer how will you judge it then.

Enjoyed it whilst it lasted but the last 3 days have left a very sour taste. Desperate to leave and he's got his wish.

Thanks for the goals.

Now go screw yourself.

At least he got his head down and we are a great club!

Still unsure how it took 9 hours to get there

[Stuart]

So the fee is £11 million in total. Love to find out what changed over night.

If that's true then a reduction of £2. Lambert must have really wanted rid.

Onwards and upwards. Right, where are our goals coming from?

Stop sweating, we've got goals throughout the side apparently.

The feeling was mutual from Lambert and many fans.

Finally has to be a dig... right?

'Finally'. Has that word been thrown in as a pre-cursor for the 'it was too late to do anything ' spiel I wonder?

[Doug]

Didn't dare post until it was done and dusted in case I jinxed it.

Think we will be a better all round team without him, but thanks Jordan for all those goals.

Pace is so much for a forward and our newbies look much quicker!

Onward and upward!

Actually looking forward and excited to the next home game (first time in a while).

4 seconds........a new world record!

[aletheia]

Jordan gone? Cue stream of optimism before Boro, Hull, Fulham, Derby league games and WH/Liverpool cup game. Will that mood be the same then?

[Baz]

Sounds like Rovers have been wondering where he's been too.

Without question a dig. Got a bad feeling that this delay has cost us more than we realise.

Just said the same to a pal. Suppose that's the unknown though and a worrying dose of optimism.

[FGS5635]

Seems JR lacks pace with everything he does

[Stuart]

Very sad to see that back of our goals. I'll miss them.

At least Rhodes had the good grace to wait until all of the kids had turned over their calendars before going but what a way to put everyone through the mill.

Over to Lambert now. The target is 3 players reaching double figures for his "team is better than one goalscorer" / "goals are pointless" spiel to have any creedence.

I think they're already here.

I will say the team spirit will be much improved now that 11 will be playing everyweek

Surely more points / goals scored in total would fully justify it?
