Middlesbrough have signed Britt Assombalonga for 15 million.

Seems crazy money when you consider his injury record.

Transfer fees in the championship seem to of exploded in the last 18 months.

Wez, nothing average about this guy...when fit and on form he is just about as good as you will get in this division

But your right it's absolute madness to pay that amount for someone who has been plagued by injury for nearly 3 years

Good news is that this will mean that Warnock can now convince the board that the going rate for Zahore starts at 15 Million and I cant see any Championship taking a risk at this price.

Agree. Danger is that he gets off to a flyer in August and a Prem club comes in with a huge offer on deadline day. Almost wants you to hope he has a useful but not spectacular start to the season.

Agree 100%. Pace, power, amazing technical ability, but like you say, injury prone and can go missing. If they can get his fitness sorted he's top class Prem player
