They are not really full of goals though are they? Middlesbrough have 37 goals this season, six teams have scored more than them. Their top scorer in the league is Stuani, with 6, same as Hemed. So maybe you do not actually need a 20 goal a season striker to get promoted from this division.
Sky Sports reporting that 2 championship clubs have bid for Jordan Rhodes....

Could just be his agent trying to flush out interest from the likes of Swansea by releasing a statement saying two Championship clubs have bid, then Swansea think they better get a move on if they are going to sign him.
Or
If Boro's bid for McCormac is true, maybe they made a similar bid for Rhodes.
Tbh I can't see any Championship clubs being able to afford his wages, signing on fee AND give Blackburn what they are asking, even QPR are trying to get the high wage earners off their books at the moment.

I dont believe he will go anywhere other than Boro in the Championship.
Flushing out Prem interest before he signs in my opinion.

Gary Hooper has just signed for Wednesday.

Not seen such Bravery!
No way will they be paying £40k per week to Rhodes as well as Hooper's similar wage, so that's them out of the deal.

Indeed Reading did it a few years back albeit with Roberts only signing on loan in January i believe

Might be the mighty Leeds (Champions of Europe). After all, Rhodes roams to Leeds possibly.

I personally don't care who scores the goals, as long as we are scoring. I'd rather the responsibility be shared between all the outfield players than rely on one striker to score them all, then be royally ****ed if he is injured/sold and no-one else steps up.
We do have goals in the team - our front men CAN score, we know they can. Our 1st choice midfield 4 all know where the goal is. We just seem to have lost that composure a bit.
Happy with four players scoring say 10-15 if we could.......BZ and Hemed should, along with Wilson and poss KLL if he can keep fit. Stephens can get more, Knocky and Murphy will get a few and ideally our CBs should get one or two (not sure what's happened this season on that front - must be the quality of crossing ?)
Boro £9m
Another team taking ffp seriously

I think i read on here Boro are spreading their goals across the team, bit like us. This shows they are taking promo seriously. We need to follow
Little chance of that I fear.

Until we get serious and sign a proven striker at this level and not a lower league hopeful whether it be now or in the summer we will always struggle. Sadly these type of players cost more than 1m
Absolutely right. Just a shame the club don't appear to realise this but maybe we're not that serious about promotion?
