Thread: Afonso Alves sets sights on award

Your striker has set his sights on winning the award for Europe's top goal-scorer this season.

He scored 34 goals in 31 starts for Dutch club Heerenveen during the 2006-07 season and came close to winning the 'Golden Shoe' award then.

Is he good enough to score goals like that in the Premiership, do you think?

What's wrong with a player setting his sights high?

You Boro lot are so pessimistic.

Fair enough, Kate. He may not end up as Europe's top scorer with Middlesboro but he could be a 20-goal-plus marksman for the club and that can only be a good thing, can't it?

Well at least the chances are coming his way which says good things about the team, I'd say.
