Rajiv Van La Parra

Even by Boro standards, Van La Parra is one of the weirdest signings the club has ever made. Pauli’s made a song and dance about needing pace, then signed VLP. Then didn’t play him. Think it was even claimed at one point he was homesick….for Huddersfield. Then he left.
 
There were a lot of players during Mogga's (managerial) time that were easily forgettable.

Adam Hammill
Bart Ogbeche
Alex Nimely
Marouane Zemmama
Kieran Dyer
Josh McEachran
Ishmael Miller
Andre Bikey
Joszef Varga
Frazer Rishardson

God that's a depressing list. Shows how much Mogga's hands were tied.

I'll raise you ...

Lee Miller
Marcus Bent
Isaiah Osbourne
Maxi Haas
Paul Smith (remember him?)
Damia
Milos Veljkovic
Ritchie De Laet
Julien De Sart
Kike Sola
Jack Stephens
Bruno Zuculini
Alex Baptiste (never played a competitive game)
Bernardo Espinosa
Adlene Guedioura

Did Karanka just get free reign to sign what ever dross he wanted???

The one that was super odd to me was Adlene Guedioura. We signed him.on a long contract then seeming shortly after he joined Aiotor at Forrest.

I know he made a handful of appearances, but did he even start a league game? A very weird signing.

Anyone remember a couple of incredible goals from Malaury Martin?

I thought Paul Smith did quite well. Stephens was ok too I thought.
 
Im not saying he didnt do a good job but how many will remember him. Given and Ikeme probably come to mind first with regards to loan keepers

Didnt the same thing happen at Forest as well? He must have some good photos of Karanka:ROFLMAO:

Didn’t Pulis start him at Preston out of the blue but take him off at half time? Think that was his last Boro appearance that. £4.5m wages for absolutely nothing at all. Ridiculous.
