I wouldn't take him over Bennett and he would want first team football.
its a no from me on the above basis

If we always played wingbacks, yes. Jazz is a better all round fullback though. Underrated on these boards for obvious reasons by racists who keep making disgusting 'gypo' references and must be blocked.

I loved watching him play but unless we're about to lose a full back I don't think we need him.
Peltier, Richards, Bennett and Paterson are good and I can't see any of them leaving anytime soon, although there are question marks over the fitness of Peltier and Richards that could change things.
I actually think Fabio would fit in well if Warnock switches to a back 3, the thought of him and Bennett going forward would certainly provide some pace.
Can't see it happening though.

well that escalated quickly
Tue Jan 02, 2018 11:40 am
I would take Fabio back in a heartbeat

Afraid the politically correct brigade will manage to find offence with nearly everything said if they search and think hard enough.

I would. Always have 100% for us and would be great to have some back up and competition for bennett. We are sorely lacking for a quality left sided defender when Bennett is out.
Fabio didn’t ask to leave. He didn’t cause any fuss despite being messed about by slade.
I wouldn’t pay lots though in a fee.

How much was he sold for or did he go on a free?
I'm guessing they'd want atleast a couple of mill
Tue Jan 02, 2018 12:09 pm
We got a fee iirc?
In principle I’d have him but there are other areas I’d spend a fee if that makes sense?
He won’t come back but I suspect he would be welcomed by the fans if he did come in again
Tue Jan 02, 2018 12:53 pm
No we don't need full backs why would we pay a fee and use transfer funds for fabio? Striker and midfielder have to be priority surely?
Tue Jan 02, 2018 1:01 pm
I was always a huge Fabio fan but unless we are planning on playing wingacks I don’t think he is the type of fullback Warnock wants. He already doesn’t know what to do with Patterson so don’t see how he would fit this set up at all. Also don't think his wages would fit into our structure. I would think he has a club lined up abroad.

Tax dodging, thieving, disease riddled Gypsy scumbags are a drain on society and should have their caravan parks flattened. No place for freeloaders in this world

Decent going forward, suspect in defence for me, so others have said would prefer to focus on other areas .

To the point Nubbsy

His contract is up in the summer mind so surely he would be fairly cheap. Would pay up to 750k for Fabio cause his style of play can always bring a spark to a boring game and get the crowd going again. Loved him while he was here and was gutted when we sold him! I know we don't necessarily need him, but a player of his quality becoming available and seemingly wanting out of his club and on the cheap, we would be mad not to atleast enquire. I'd offer him a reasonable contract with a real promotion incentive. Could also make the step up!

Just an honest observation based on personal experience.
Tue Jan 02, 2018 2:31 pm
No thanks. He flatters to decieve. What we need is hard working, team players who know the Championship, not prima donnas.
Why has he decided to leave Borough all of a sudden?

FABIO IS BRAZIL-BOUND
Middlesbrough full-back Fabio Da Silva is set to return to Brazil this month after asking to leave the club for personal reasons, report the Northern Echo.
The former Manchester United man wishes to be closer to his family back home and has already been linked to Botafogo.
Just been posted on transfer centre
Tue Jan 02, 2018 3:53 pm
no - we don't need another left back. very positive player who should have no problem getting a decent club, though.

No. Too expensive and no better than we already have in the squad. Money far better spent elsewhere to improve the team.

Definately, he is a class player
Tue Jan 02, 2018 5:33 pm
It would be interesting to see fabio overlapping Mendez . The opposition right backs would be bricking it coming up against those two.
Tue Jan 02, 2018 5:42 pm
A massive no from me, defensively he is shocking and positionally inept
Tue Jan 02, 2018 10:26 pm
Loved Fabio for his passion, work rate and attacking qualities and hypothetically I’d like him back if we played the wing back system but I’d have to say no as we need players in other positions more.
