Seeing as Middlesbrough have just signed another young winger for over £3m, surely AJ's chances of playing much for them this season are dissapearing again? If Downing stays, and another club don't buy him outright I don't see why we couldn't get him back here on loan for the season.
AJ isn't on massive wages at 'Borough, and even then who says we'd be expected to pay 100% of them? If your saying we can't even afford to bring one player in on loan, after already getting the likes of King, Ellington and Stewart off the wage bill, and as you said looking to offload AT LEAST eight more, then we really are *****ed
