Gibson: No Viduka problem

Steve Gibson admits Mark Viduka's departure has created room for new signings at Middlesbrough.

Viduka snubbed a new contract at The Riverside in favour of a switch to North East rivals Newcastle United.

Boro have already agreed a deal for Turkey international Tuncay Sanli and another striker could also be added to the squad.

"Mark had a value to our football club and we put a value on that," Gibson told Sky Sports News.

"It was considered, the offer was made and the offer was declined, and Mark exercised his right to move to another football club.

"We don't have a problem with that, good luck to him. We move on.

"It creates an opportunity for us because we need to fill that role and we will."

Gibson also expanded on the other areas of Gareth Southgate's squad that are likely to be addressed in the coming weeks.

He added: "We think we need to strengthen on the right-hand side of the pitch, we need to strengthen up front and we would like to strengthen in midfield.

"We're very pro-active in those areas and we hope to have some players in place - it doesn't always happen - before we start pre-season training in the first week of July."

Kind run of opening games. Them games against Man U and Chelsea might have a big bearing on whether or not the title comes to The Riverside in 2008.

[retired_coleller]

So whats everyones thinking on Aliadiere? Whats the possibility he'll get played on the right wing?

[retired_karenrb]

I don't even think he will end up signing. I never thought about the possibilty of him playing on the right as there has been plenty of rumours suggesting we want Kamara so I was assuming we wanted him to play there.

Thinking about it, if he does actually sign, I suppose Aliadiere will probably be used on the right.

I hope you have paid your £266 plus VAT for those fixtures
