Scotty Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Happy for Zurab. He's so much better than being our 4th choice. Wish we could keep him though, he's better than Nelsen. No, he's really not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbergeehh Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 He's not better than Nelsen, but his performances as a bit-part player has been second to none for us. Unspectacular, but very reliable. Good luck to him, he deserves a chance to play regularly, and we need 30k (?) off the wage budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Good luck to Zurab, but yeah he's surplus to requirements now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipl Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Boro will be significantly strengthened by this signing. He is a massive improvement over the player he is replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnolad Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I always thought he looked OK, nothing outstanding just OK, but Sam clearly doesn't rate him at all. Even though he was fit last year he hardly featured at all in an injury plagued season. Who knows maybe he just hasn't impressed in training. So the obvious question was - what's the point in keeping him if his wages are high? I'm guessing they were hoping for a sale over summer but will now happily make do with a loan.

Backroom Tom Posted September 9, 2009 Backroom Share Posted September 9, 2009 I liked Zurab but he often has mad rushes of blood to the head or falls asleep at vital times. It makes sense for everyone for him to move on really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I like Zurab and wish him the best if he does move on. He's a steady defender and never complained once despite being out of the team for the majority of the time. In this day and age that is rare, so fair play to Zura. He does seem a bit too laid back at times to be a centre half, but he always gave his best for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Southampton Rover Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 A great footballer who needs to play first team football. I'm looking forward to seeing him play each week at Boro. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rover6 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 If he was a bit more agile, he'd be a superb defender. As it is, he's useful. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohelger Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The clubs have been speaking for a couple of days and this should happen. Zurab is on big wages and in the current climate he probably needs to be off the payroll...I understand the amount of who pays what is the final hurdle here. It's cheaper than buying St.Ledger, so Boro think it makes good sense. Rovers should have enough cover with all of the defenders at the club now. Will the deal include an option for Boro to buy Zurab with a set price when the loan expires? And if so, any indication of what amount that price would be?

MarkBRFC Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Can't say i'll lose any sleep over Zurab losing. He's never quite been good enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67splitscreen Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I thought nicko said it was Zurab, as St Ledger was to expensive. Boro Has Zurab gone or not??? Edited September 11, 2009 by 67splitscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
