Al Qahtani is going to Middlesboro

He will fail. The cold, the physical nature of play etc. will kill him. Plus, he's a bigtime p9ssy. He always dives and falls like it's nothing.

Younis Mahmoud is a great team leader and target man, but him and Yasser are two different sort of goalscorers.
Yasser relies on quick pace, good skill, and deadly finishing - Younis relies more on his high workrate, clever off-the-ball positioning, and dead ball situations.

I think Yasser is a more complete forward. He puts away the chances that Younis Mahmoud would probably squabble. Both of them whine and cry a lot though, so they are both related in that sense.

Well the reason why Saudi players havent been able to make a mark in Europe is because of the stupid loan deals their Saudi clubs insist on letting a European club borrowing their players for a few months and then ordering them back. Wolverhampton Wanderers were keen on getting Sami al-Jaber for a permanent deal a few years back but his Saudi club vetoed it and ordered him back after 2-3 months.

But of all teams, Middlesbrough was the least I thought Yasser al-Qahtani (yes without a doubt no one is a better striker in Asia than him at the moment) would go for, but since Tuncay Sanli and Mido havent made a mark and Boro are close to the relegation zone, maybe Qahtani can make a difference. Only thing is the weather and the fast physical play in Premiership may get to him as soon as he makes his first appearance. Spain or Portugal or Turkey would have been good for him, but hey who am I to judge ?

But I wish him the best

Great posts today! Really enjoyed reading them.

Boro's forwards are terrible.
Especially Lee Dong Gook (spell?), the best Korean striker has really failed so far.

Whole thing was a rumour: Boro Deny Al-Qahtani Link
