Digard completes £4m Boro switch http://www.teamtalk.com/football/sto...776937,00.html
Middlesbrough have signed Didier Digard from Paris Saint-Germain for £4million, with the midfielder penning a four-year deal at The Riverside.
The 21-year-old France Under-21 star has committed to the Teessiders until 2012 and is set to link up with fellow new signing Marvin Emnes, whose arrival was announced earlier on Friday.
The pair are expected to be on Teesside for pre-season training on Monday and manager Gareth Southgate will be relieved to have finally tied up the transfer after the player was suspended by PSG.
The French club were furious at Digard's allegations that they were holding up his switch to the Riverside.
Southgate told the club's official website: "I'm very pleased that we've been able to bring Didier into the club.
"As with Emnes, he is another exciting young talent who fits the profile of young, hungry and ambitious players that we want here.
"Didier has played for France at every level up to under-21 and will really add to the competitive nature of our squad.
"He is a holding midfielder, who is a good athlete and a strong tackler."
Dorrans completes Albion move http://www.wba.premiumtv.co.uk/page/...338319,00.html
GRAHAM Dorrans has completed his move to Albion in a £100,000 deal from Livingston.
The Scotland Under-21 international has penned a two-year Baggies contract, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.
The fee could rise by a further £150,000 depending on appearances.
The 21-year-old midfielder was named in last season's PFA Scottish League One XI and was voted PFA League One Player of the Year by his fellow professionals.
The Baggies agreed the move for the Lions' 12-goal top scorer in February after he impressed Tony Mowbray during a training spell at the club.
Dorrans, who has made three Under-21 international appearances, joined Scottish First Division outfit Livingston as a 13-year-old.
