Not much on the boro Front


Not a great deal has being going on at Boro since the signing of Tuncay Sanli, or atleast not a great deal has been publicised. The only news I can dig out to tell is that the Boro are looking to sign the Icelandic international defender Gretta Steinsson from AZ Alkmaar for £2 million. AZ had originally valued the right back at £4 million, but seem to be caving in to a lower fee in order to get business done.
Also, whilst I had been opposed to Liverpool signing Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid, because Atletico are my Second team, I now have mixed feelings about it because I have read today that if a deal does go through then Liverpool may be open to offers for their lanky England striker, Peter Crouch, whom Boro boss Gareth Southgate is interested in adding to his squad following the upset of failing to secure a move for Alan Smith, after the player announced that he would only be interested in a move to a club playing European football.

What's the beef with Torres? Liverpool need a serious goalscorer, (among other things). I don't know Spanish football really but his record wouldn't suggest that he's the answer to that problem.

Thanks for the Torres update you left on my blog. I don't reckon you'll get anywhere near Crouchaldinho though. Peter's staying put. If we can get a couple of wingers who can get the ball past the first defender, (unlike our old friend Zenden), we could have a pretty good return from Torres/Crouch or Torres/Kuyt.
