MIDDLESBROUGH have lost out on the signature of winger Anouar Hadouir after failing to push through a deal in time, writes PAUL FRASER.[LNB] Hadouir agreed a two-year deal with Alemannia Aachen over the weekend and has turned his back on Boro and staying in Holland with Feyenoord.[LNB] The 28-year-old was on Teesside last month when he was shown around Middlesbrough's facilities by manager Tony Mowbray.[LNB] Despite a willingness to move to the North-East, however, Hadouir was forced to wait while Mowbray went about trimming the club's wage bill.[LNB] In the mean time, though, he has grown impatient and is thought to have decided on a new career in the Bundesliga with Aachen.[LNB] Hadouir became a free agent after his contract with Roda JC expired and had been keen to test himself in England, where he had been impressed by Mowbray's vision for the club.[LNB]
