I like him.

Is Andy Carrol available?

He's been released by West Brom. Between them and Reading, he was excellent, proving himself a real handful and scored some stunning goals. 5 goals in 17 starts of which 15 were full 90 minutes. For a free transfer, he'd be the perfect physical presence upfront that we need.

Can't say there was anything about his overall play which stood out while he was here (not a hold up man, not particularly good in the air, not particularly strong, not really ' clever' with the ball, no pace), but clearly knows where to be to score goals!

The two bolded parts of your post are a contradiction.

Think we may need to lower our sights a little as he will want big wages

If Boro do want Gregory, why would he come to us instead?. Cos it won't be for high wages or obviously Chapoinship football. More game time (?) would be the only advantage.

 Because he'd be guaranteed game time, oh and Gibson is a Noblett.

He was widely reported to be earning "just" £1000 a week at Reading due to their own FFP problems. He's made the big bucks elsewhere and has just been released by a Championship team. Going to Reading for what he did, tells me he just wants the chance to play football regularly again following all his injuries. 1 year contract with an extension option, low wages yet financially incentivised for performance. No brainer if it's something Rooney can pull off.

Because no one ever wants to go to Middlesbrough.
He's originally from Sheffield, and if his recent clubs are anything to go by, he wants to stay in the area. Perhaps Middlesbrough is just a little too far away
