Chris Wilder has already been active in the transfer market this window and yet more could be joining the ranks at The Riverside before the window slams shut on deadline day.
Boro know that a good window could be the difference between a late season promotion push and yet another season in England’s second tier.
In the world of transfers, you can often get bogged down by the volume of players linked with your team and so here, we offer a little respite and some fun.
We have used the game Football Manager to see who they believe are the most likely players to join Boro this month.
To do so, we simulated three January transfer windows and listed every player that joined Middlesbrough in those simulations.
Would you like to see any of these join this month? Follow us on Twitter @Boro_Mail and let us know there.
