    His press conference was just on SSN, a 2 year deal. Thats a few signings now for Boro and the chairman said there's more to come.

    looks like they want o buils on last years carling cup victory! just hope they don't over spend like leeds and end up in trouble. probably won't page huge money to get players but may play huge wages.

    I think they will do well this year, all they were missing was a good striker and now they have 2 proven strikers. They should link up well together. If their ageing defense can withstand another year they could suprise people. I dont think Reiziger was a great buy, they would have been better off keeping Danny Mills, although they would have had to pay a transfer fee.

    Another good signing for Boro. I thought they did well to get Viduka for £4.5million and now they have gotten Hasselbaink for FREE. I think its a good move for both parties. Boro always had a decent team but lacked that 1 goal scorer and as Jivin Turkey said they now have 2 proven goal scorers.
    Could be a good season for Boro, i could see another Carling Cup run or even an FA Cup run. Best of luck to them;)

    They could push top 6 this season if they got a good midfielder in. Hasselbaink's record since he joined the Premiership is beaten by only Shearer I read today so to get him for nothing is a bargain. Viduka and him should link up well and they seem to have sorted their major problem - scoring!

    Steve Gibson does'nt lack readies so they can try to buy success (if thats what anyone thinks they're doing) without too much worry. If they get Viduka and JFH to click they could be the surprise package next season, assuming they can still defend.

    Mike.

    Wonder if southgate will be the same player after that long injury bout he has just had. Will this be his last season or will he get 2 more?

    A Viduka/Hasselbiank combination could be a very potent force but also has the potential to be quite temperamental at times. I hope for Boro's sake that the two get on well together.
