Middlesbrough No2 Crosby reveals striker boost

Middlesbrough are hopeful of an attacking boost with strikers Jeremie Aliadiere and Mido available for their clash with Chelsea.

Boro No2 Malcolm Crosby said: "We are hoping Jeremie will be back and available for the Chelsea game, the same with Mido. So if we can get those two back - and Tuncay is already back - that's a plus."

Middlesbrough's Aliadiere confirms injury setback

Middlesbrough striker Jeremie Aliadiere has aggravated his hamstring injury.

"I had been running and sprinting and going well but I have been feeling some discomfort in training this week so I will have to take it easy," Aliadiere told the Northern Echo.

"I don't want to damage it again so it may be another week or so before I can start training. I don't think I have a chance of facing Chelsea.

"I am now looking at playing Manchester United a week later if I can. It's been very difficult for me.

"I'm disappointed because I have been feeling good in training and I'm a bit down about things now. I just want to be playing again."

Middlesbrough boss Southgate: Gibson ideal chairman to work for

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate says Steve Gibson is the ideal chairman to work for.

"I wouldn't have been managing anywhere else last season, but I could see what was in place here, with the academy and so on, so I knew it was a fantastic opportunity," Southgate told the Observer. "And yes, Steve Gibson is on his own as a chairman.

"The point was quietly made to me last season that if we went down it would cost the club �30million. He didn't say anything about me being sacked, but he said we needed to stay in the league, and felt with all the upheaval and it being my first season that that was a realistic target. It was brave of him to appoint a novice and I am still grateful. It's a strength for us that we have a chairman who comes from the town and who wants to give something back. People are often looking for a quick fix and clubs that have been taken over sometimes see an injection of cash, but there can be a downside. The stability of this club is a major plus. I'm fortunate to be learning my trade as a manager at a club that isn't aiming for something beyond reach."

Above all else, Southgate says, Gibson has a sense of perspective about how quickly things can be achieved.

"If things were going wrong I'm sure he would act as swiftly as he does in his own business, but he is realistic. He doesn't expect us to be a Champions League team in 18 months. That gives you time to plan and get your head above the water. Last year was firefighting, trying to fix things as I went along. Only towards the end of the season was it possible to plan ahead.

"I've got more belief in myself now. And the one thing I know here is that no one inside the club is against me. The whole club is very much united."

Agent: Porritt needs to leave Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough midfield starlet Nathan Porritt remains set on leaving the Riverside Stadium, according to the player's agent.

The highly-rated midfielder has turned down the offer of a senior contract.

Middlesbrough 's valuation of the 17-year-old is believed to have scared off some interested clubs, but foreign sides could land Porritt for a smaller fee courtesy of a FIFA tribunal.

Porritt's agent Peter Harrison has confirmed the England Under-17 international is seeking a move away from Teesside and that a number of clubs are chasing hi signature.

"Nathan would like to try another club," Harrison told the Sunday Sun.

"He's got Stewart Downing and Adam Johnson in front of him at Boro.

"And he could end up abroad - there are clubs interested in him - where the compensation may be less.

"He didn't sign the contract and since then nobody from the club has approached him or said anything more to the lad about it.

"He's accepted the situation and is just getting his head down and training well.

"When the second year of his scholarship ends we will sit down and assess things."
