Tuncay Sanli is the striker chosen by Middlesbrough to replace the sizeable hole left by the departure of Mark Viduka to Newcastle United. Sanli was out of contract at Fenerbahçe and he is due to undergo a medical with a view to completing a move to the Riverside. He is perhaps best-known for scoring a Champions League hat-trick against Manchester United in 2004.
Sanli reminds us a bit of Dimitar Berbatov, but not quite as good. He’s a good signing for Boro though and should do well next season. Here’s the obligatory YouTube clip of him in action:

    he is a decent player. doesn’t quite have the composure or technique of berbatov but plays at a higher tempo, all being well, he should get them a few goals next season.
