NokkonWud said:Money and time are running out for Middlesbrough though. They have an alternative of putting a narrower 3 out across the middle with Tuncay behind 2 strikers, but this wouldn't leave Downing the wing.
NokkonWud said:Absolutely, but who is out there for you to loan?
Chris Eagles would be a good one if you were to get him.

moody said:Eagles would be a superb signing on loan. Really impressed me whenever I've seen him. I'm assuming he's rated at Man Utd as well or else they would have looked to move him on this summer.
From what I've heard thou is we are still keeping tabs on that Karadeniz. Seemed we were close to agreeing a fee then whispers that other clubs were interested saw his price bumped up so talks broke down.
I think Southgate has done pretty well so far in the window considering the inflated prices. However, we do need a forward and unfortunately I can't see us getting another great deal here like we have done with Young and Tuncay. At least if we do sign Mido we've only paid over the odds for one player. Also he'll retain his transfer value pretty well due to his age if we do decide to sell him later on.

Munky1080 said:I'm so angry we just signed Mido. He looks and acts like a pimp, a gangster. We now have entirely too many strikers, yet still need a right winger; Tuncay Sanli looks good as a winger but i'd rather have him being a striker.

I think Eagles will be somewhat more useful than any youngsters boro have right now, from little glimpses of him he looks VERY good. He just needs more first team actionNzyme said:We've got plenty of young guns tho so i dont think we should take another youngster on loan

.'If we get into the Premier League, we get £60million, so unless someone's got £60m, Marlon isn't going anywhere. Simple as that. Hameur Bouazza was a different kettle of fish, as was Ashley Young. Marlon King stays.
