Jutkiewicz: Can't wait to get started at Boro

Jutkiewicz: Can't wait to get started at Boro

The 22-year-old signed a four-and-a-half year contract after the club's agreed an undisclosed fee.

The striker originally joined on an emergency loan ahead of Middlesbrough's match against Burnley at the weekend.

Jutkiewicz told the club's website: "There was a possibility I might have come a few months ago and I would have loved to," he said. "Now I'm here I can't wait to get started properly.

"It was important to feel wanted here and the fact that there was interest in August and they've come in again now shows that and was a massive part of the decision.

"It's a huge club and one that hopefully is going places. I want to be at the top of the league and so does the club."

Manager Tony Mowbray added: "He brings qualities our team are looking for. He adds physicality, but he's also a technical footballer who can get hold of the ball and brings others into the game and has bravery and a desire to score goals when the ball comes into the box."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
