2 mystery strikers in 'advanced talks'

I'm not sure about Gayle. Hardly kicked a ball and injury prone.

Then again I imagine the large majority available haven't kicked a ball. Hence 'available' 😂

The fact Wilder said he wanted some in by Mansfield suggests we are 'well down the line' with one or two.

Manager Chris Wilder has made striking reinforcements one of his main priorities at the Riverside.

A Boro source has told Football Insider that talks are underway with two of their top targets after they verbally agreed loans with their respective clubs.

Middlesbrough are confident of completing two striker deals in the January transfer window.

The Teesside side have lost just once in the Championship since Wilder took the reins, following Neil Warnock’s departure early last month.

The former Sheffield United boss has lifted Boro from 14th in the second tier into ninth place – just five points off a playoff berth.

However, Middlesbrough have netted the joint-least goals in the Championship’s top half this season, with 24 in 22 games.

Andraz Sporar and Duncan Watmore are Wilder’s first-choice strike partnership.

The pair have scored three league goals each this term.

The Teesside club look set to make room for a double swoop in January by letting Uche Ikpeazu move on.

The 26-year-old has failed to start in any of the former Sheffield United manager’s five matches in charge.


[Football Insider revealed last month (22 November) that Wilder has given the green light for Ikpeazu to leave in the New Year.

As revealed by Football Insider last week (8 December), Boro and Stoke City are both keen on signing Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle next month.]

However, Wilder’s men are looking to add at least two hitmen to their squad during the winter window.

The winter window opens on 1 January.
 
I wonder if the new regime are any more successful in actually closing out these deals. How many times did Warnock tell us he expected a player to sign in the next day or two only for them never to materialise?

Warnock said whatever he wanted to absolve himself of the blame for our dismal record over the last couple of years. Happy to throw anyone under the bus, as long as it made him look good for his Talksport fans.
