summer? Which positions do you feel the club need to strengthen?

Schwarzer available for Middlesbrough
MIDDLESBROUGH goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer could return to the side for tomorrow's Wear-Tees derby with Sunderland after recovering from a back problem.
Schwarzer is back in training after missing last weekend's 1-0 home defeat by Bolton, but Ross Turnbull, who deputised against the Trotters, is a fresh doubt with a similar problem.
Gary O'Neil (knee) is out for the rest of the season and Mido (hernia) could join him, while Robert Huth's foot problem remains a concern.
* MIDDLESBROUGH squad to face Sunderland: Schwarzer, Turnbull, Jones, Young, Taylor, Grounds, McMahon, Wheater, Pogatetz, Boateng, Arca, Downing, Shawky, Rochemback, Cattermole, Johnson, Aliadiere, Alves, Tuncay.

Doesn't matter who Boro have between the sticks, with barrel chested schemer Andy Reid pulling the strings in midfield and "Chops" bagging them in that is no way Southgate's hapless boys will get any points this weekend.

Oi Gates get off this is my gig now! Have I ever told you I won the cup in 73?? My money is on chops to score or big Kenwyne. The Nose will keep the Boro front line quiet, although I could do that even at my age & with this kite!! Anyway my mate Billy Whitehurst will be poping over on Saturday to pay you a visit bucket heed. And this week on the show we are giving away any amount of free tickets to Sunderland's home game & a signed Niall Quinn magic carpet. Just answer this simple question: What year did I win the FA cup (have I mentioned that)? & remember you can see Niall Quinn at a pub or social club near you begging you to turn up & watch the tut I have to watch every week!! Did I tell you I once won the cup? Yawn,yawn!

Macca your deluded if you think that bunch of donkey's can put 5 goals past us, they couldn't string 5 passes together.
I firmly believe Southgate is getting us moving in the right direct and in Alves we have our best centre forward since the glory days of Uwe Fuchs and Jan Fjortoft. If only we still had Neil Cox holding us steady at the back we would be in for a top 10 finish.
Come on you Boro!

He had less hair than me. Or Billy Ashcroft & his ginger afro & tash!! Proper palyers from a bygone age. 3-0 Sunland... Keep the faith

Supa Kevin Phillips, I tell you he was good but if we had have got the best out of Boksic there would be no comparison. That boy was class, injury prone and over 30 but he could still play.
Saw him on the steps on High Row in a big sheepskin coat with his supermodel missues.......one of the proudest days of my life.

The best I ever saw must have been Maccarone, what a player we paid over £8m for him & he was class. Baird, Wilkinson & of course Slavin are all up there with him just ahead of the fat Eddie Murphy, Jimmy Floyd. 2-1 Boro. Up the Boro!

You have 15 seconds to comply....
Don't forgot John Hendrie, without him Wilko wouldn't have been so prolific.
