Genuine question, what would the boards reaction be if we resurrected our interest from a few seasons back in Matt Crooks? Putting aside what a saga it was last time, things are different now. Same division, in the last year of his contract like may Town targets, and has been a regular at this level now. Interesting BBC article back in Jan about Carrick seeing striker potential (thats good enough for me):-
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64163388
Boro have been linked with quite a few strikers so he could be surplus to requirements, and Carricks relationship with KMck would be helpful. He's 29 so in his prime. Goal record, whilst low is at least comparable with Hirst, and he hasn't always been played as a striker. Any thoughts? |  | | |  |

Isnt he a defensive midfielder? Dont really think we need him given our current options | | | |

He's been played all over the place but is most effective as a number 10. |  |

From a financial perspective I suspect he is completely off radar, as if Boro are ok to offload, then they will be looking to cash out. Crooks will be looking for a last big contract and will have lower resale value.
We will be looking for equivalent players 5 years younger, I suspect or experienced free transfers. | |

He would improve us and could be squeezed out at Boro or unhappy with playing time. Where it gets tricky is our FFP budget and whether one signing here precludes another signing there. Given he was a sub from November onwards and is in his last year, I don't think he would sell for much more than Boro paid.
I wouldn't put much stock in him being our no. 9 solution though. | | | |

He's not a striker and was a Paul Cook target. Not sure he'd fit the mould of a number 10 that we'd target. |  |

In a heartbeat, brilliant player, like him as centre forward (even though he has played numerous positions).
I personally think it's a deal that could be done. |  | | |
