Once again Fabb impresses when he arrives, people rave over his skill (Messi 2, wasn't it?) and then he gets dropped. Happened at Millwall, happened at Boro, can't remember if it happened at Brum, maybe not. If Brum want him, and Dyer too, I'll happily wave them goodbye.
There are seven stages to a Fabbrini signing: Excitement - he's an Italian international! Hope - could he kickstart his career here? He's obviously talented Wonder - did you see that flip-flap thing? Most skilful player we've ever had Joy - finally scored his first goal! Frustration - wish he could stay on his feet/spot a pass/play in cold weather Resignation - he's going to keep falling over/not passing/hibernating, isn't he? Sadness - really thought he could've been good, seems like a nice bloke Think Birmingham might want him back as he was only there long enough to reach Stage 3 or 4 last time.
From the swan dive, to the trickery in the box to the other goal. Maybe a highlights reel should be made of him from just that game
5 years ago if you'd told us we'd be about to sell a skillful former Italian International to Birmingham for £1m we'd all assume a big club was nicking one of our best players on the cheap again
Boro have stated he's off to Birmingham on loan for the remainder of the season: http://www.mfc.co.uk/news/article/2016/middlesbrough-diego-fabbrini-2923588.aspx We aren't shot of the useless fairy yet.
They've edited it! Apparently anyone can edit the Middlesbrough fishal site. It did say "and will now join Birmingham City on loan for the remainder of the season". Anyway, excellent news.
Perfect example of "Give him time" "He'll get better" "It's this league, he needs to adjust" "What can he do off the bench with 5 minutes?" "His best position is behind the striker not out wide" Heard that for 2 years when it was quite evident Fabbrini is ****. Good luck to him.
The same player who's gone on to score double figures in the same league as Fabbrini who had one good month?
I thought Brum were looking up at broke not so long ago. How come they've suddenly got millions to throw at flouncy wingers?
