Middlesbrough chase highly rated £3m American youngster in the hopes of starting their own Fulhamerica

With rumors swirling around that Boro could lose midfield linchpin Stewart Downing this summer, The Daily Star is reporting that the club is ready to pay £3m to bring in highly touted American midfielder, Michael Bradley, to freshen things up.

Bradley has been rumored to be leaving the Dutch Eredivisie club for some time now for the EPL. He recently broke the record for the most goals scored in a single season by an American-born footballer playing in a European first division with 17, so he’s no slouch when it comes to up-and-coming talent.

Do Boro fans think he can cut it in the EPL? Or would you rather the club save the funds from Boateng and use them on someone else?
