I don't disagree, he is a player I have mentioned many times before myself as I watch a lot of the Championship games.

Most Boro fans really dont like him - bad attitude under multiple managers and they think they've got an even better wing back on that side in Isaiah Jones (and having watched a fair few Boro games over the years I'm inclined to agree). Definitely something to be said for the effect of a change in environment but put it this way, if we'd have been looking at him before this spell of form on loan at Forest, I'd have been horrified

The best player in our squad after spending all that cash came from Kirkdale and through the academy...and these divvies are searching Brazillian Amazonian forests and Arab deserts bringing back trash for massive fees.

I like the humour of your post Dave. While we have 3/4 South Americans they are not all Brazilian and who came from the Arabian Deserts?

El Ghazi via Holland.
He was born in the Netherlands. He's not via anywhere.
Morocco also isn't an arab country.
Ruh oh.

Are you sure?
I am not. I took a wild stab there.
Morocco is a Northern African country, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, between Algeria and the annexed Western Sahara.
We did sell some 280m worth of players.
If we had spent the 550m without the sales we would have a squad with Lukaku, Stones, Gueye, Deulofeu, Vlasic, Digne and JR we would possibly have a top 4 squad if added to the best of what is at the club.
We have bought badly for sure but the net spend is around 200m .
He was born in Holland, as far as I can tell he's lived all his life in Holland, and he's only ever played his football in Europe
That qualifies him as Arabian apparently
Dave probably just looked at the surname and went from there
I understand some part of his family is Moroccan but think it's wrong for people to just assume they're not from the country they represent just because of their name. Otherwise we'd never call someone like Bukayo Sako English.
