Middlesbrough signing Huth: No problems
with Mourinho
tribalfooball.com - September 01, 2006
New Middlesbrough signing Robert Huth insists he has only good
words to say about former club Chelsea and manager Jose
Mourinho.
Despite finding a starting place hard to come by at Chelsea, Huth,
who signed a five-year deal, refused to criticise Stamford Bridge
boss Mourinho.
"The manager was brilliant for me and I learned a lot from him and
I've only got good words for Chelsea," Huth said.
"The manager did have different plans for me but you give it time.
I thought I deserved to play but it didn't happen and it was time
to move on.
"I was frustrated with the situation and it doesn't take a genius
to work out that I needed a move and that it would be good for the
club also.
"I never had a run of 10-15 games so I will be looking forward to
playing regularly if selected."
It appeared at one stage that the transfer was destined to stall at
the 11th hour.
A planned unveiling fell through on Thursday afternoon and despite
Middlesbrough chief executive Keith Lamb remaining confident the
saga would be resolved by the early evening, confirmation had not
been issued by either party by the close of the window at
midnight.
However, both parties confirmed the transfer today and with the
help of the Premier League Huth is eligible to play for his new
club as soon as he has regained full fitness following a foot
operation in the summer.
"It's been frustrating," said the 22-year-old Berliner. "I picked
up an injury in the World Cup so the transfer was put back for five
weeks.
"But now I'm delighted that everything has gone through.
"Yesterday was a very tense day and when we got to 10 o'clock and
it hadn't been sorted you do think 'Is it going to happen?'
"So I'm delighted that everything went through at the end. It's
important to get games under my belt and that wasn't the case at
Chelsea with all the new signings.
"I was impressed with the way Middlesbrough have looked after me,
the way they've shown great interest in me."
Lamb explained the reason behind the delay.
He said: "We were unfortunate yesterday because all our
documentation was completed some time ago, as was the agreement
with Chelsea.
"The deal was never in any doubt, the deal was always secure. We
just needed one signature on one piece of documentation.
"But Chelsea were wrapped up yesterday with dealings over Ashley
Cole and William Gallas. That took some time but when that was
sorted the final piece of the jigsaw could go in place.
"There was a tremendous willingness to ensure the transfer happened
and we're very grateful to the Premier League for their help in
ensuring it was completed.
"We can now concentrate on football and step off that transfer
merry-go-round."
