What an amazing record he's had since leaving us for Girona. 216 games, 117 goals.

He's one of the rare cases where we the fans knew more than the manager and that knowledge was that he should have been playing centre forward and not right wing. I'm sure he would have been a Boro Legend not a Girona one if he had.
 
I loved Stuani and feel he was under appreciated. Same goes for Nsue Adomah etc felt we should of kept them and stuck with them instead of going for signing replacements in Fisher Barragan who weren't any good.
 
Played up front in the early rounds of the league cup, scored 4 in 2 games, still stuck him on the wing in place of Adomah straight afterwards while carthorses like nugent and kike got to play up front
 
Forss is a bit different for me. Should be playing up top now as we don't have anyone and did well when he moved into the middle today on occasions, but he does well from the right especially when Jones is injured.

Playing Stuani on the right was as unwise as playing Lee Catermole there. I think Karanka justified playing Stuani there by giving the statistic that he made more tackles than anyone else, but that statistic was probably based on the amount of times he gave the ball away when playing on the right as his second touch was a tackle due to his first being so bad.

I don’t think it was unwise. I think it’s undeniable that he was really effective out there for us and scored some vital goals in a team that was successful. Easy to say he’d have been better up front. He might have been but to say it was unwise to play him out right when he scored the vital goals he did from there and was in a team that won promotion is a bit strong.
