Poor old Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. The striker has had a fun time of things in England, scoring plenty of goals for Leeds, Chelsea and Middlesbrough, although it looks like the party is over for the Dutchman at Cardiff.

Does Gareth Southgate have another season of struggle on his hands? It remains to be seen, although he’s close to seeing another top-drawer midfielder leave the Riverside and join one of Middlesbrough’s Premier League rivals.

Apparently Rafa B has a fall-back plan if they fail to snare Aston Villa Gareth Barry.

The Times reports that Fulham are after a pretty tasty swap deal with Middlesbrough.
