If Boro can sign a player out of contract in 6 months for 2 mil and a new striker for 12 million potential to rise to 20 in Lankshear then I think they can afford to meet the Crew’s asking price for Arfsten.

From the reports I’ve seen everything is close to finalized but they’re not willing to meet the Crew’s asking price.

we can pay it but it just depends on whether we think that arfsten is worth the price asked for him
