Replying to the Football Insider Twitter page, here is how some Middlesbrough fans reacted to these latest developments:
“In all seriousness, it’s very low risk so I’m not that bothered.. a game winner on his day, never found consistency.. hopefully he can find it with us. I’ve always said since Warnock signed on another year that I’d rather us sign a bunch of frees on 1/2 year deals and loans”
