Harper the striker

This from today's BBC football gossip column: 'Middlesbrough are closing in on Reading striker James Harper. (Daily Express)'

OK, where to begin? If Jim Harper is the answer to Boro's multitude of problems, then seriously, I want to know the question.

..and 'striker'? Poor research by the BBC (I'm going to ignore tha fact that it came from the Diana Express) at the very least. Harper going forward? He makes Ray Wilkins look like Steven Gerrard.

If as is being mentioned, Reading are going to get up to £5m for captain windmill, then I would have to bite their hands off. Even £3m would be OK - We certainly have some depth in the squad - what about Jem Karacan - we haven't seen much of him since the first few months of the season and he did a reasonable job. Latest from boro is that it is unlikely to happen. We'll see tomorrow
