Striker playing in Germany

Can Uzun is attracting a lot of interest from bigger clubs(a bit like VDB was when we signed him). 18 year old Turkish youth international and valued at about £8m which would be covered by the Rogers money.
born in Regensburg.. so Middlesbrough will be very much a home from home.

a few from the less celebrated rumours this window..

Haris Tabakovic 29yo - Bosnian - 17 goals in Bundasliga in 22/23
Christos Tzolis 22yo - Greek - on LOAN from NORWICH - mainly played left wing
Igor Matanović - 20yo - Croatian- on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt

Can Uzun sounds like the best bet.
 
Tzolis is a LW so it's probably not him - it's also his birthday today.
Digger on one Boro said we were after a player who was on
Loan to a club , and we were struggling to get the loan cancelled , so it would likely be a summer buy .
Tzolis could be that player , or Faghir .
Armando Sieb , age 20 , Greuther Furth Forward . £2m . ( but he's German ) Faghir ticks the box but can't see it ?
Could be either but my cash is on Tzolis .

could that 'loan' be the weird way the Cameron Archer deal is supposedly structured? - could that have been something that would be brought into discussions for Morgan Rogers?
 
Anyone else have the memory of Uwe charging the ball down and scoring in front of us at Wolves? Night match. We missed a Penna too.
Mid 90’s?
Edit: they put us behind the goal, rather than along the side.
Wasn't it someone really weird who missed the penna? Chris Morris or someone who blatantly shouldn't have been taking it?

Everyone forgets Coxy missed one in the final match at Ayresome. Or did I dream it? :unsure:

Yup, it was Chris Morris. We were 2-1 up at the time and it was a crap effort. And yes, Coxy missed one in that match. Doesn’t seem all that long ago either😕
 
Matanovic would be more realistic in my opinion - Tzolis is a LW where we already have McGree/Silvera (and Azaz).
Azaz plays more central.. historically.. Silvera has been on the right and up top.. McGree can play a number of positions.

We want to be stacked with attacking options Tzolis looks like a good option on the left wing..

Happy to be proven wrong in the upcoming games, and I hope I am, but Azaz was only central in a midfield 4 or 5, where Luke Cundle pulled the strings (as more of a #10)...
Seems more suited to the LW/McGree role in my opinion.

Tzolis is definitely a good option for LW - I just don't like any of our current LW options in the middle.

I'm growing more and more convinces that we are bringing in Cameron Archer on a permo..
