Promotion Rivals SWOOP for RHODES.

Blackburn... Rhodes.

Bothered?

I'd rather have him than not, but it doesn't bother me, Rovers will be up there with Blackpool at the end of the season whether they sign him or not.

This surprises me, there are a load of PL clubs who have been sniffing around. Is it confirmed? What's the fee?

8 million.

That's a lot of chicken.

Promotion Rivals.............Thats optimistic.

Nixon saying the fee is £8 million plus £1.5 million add ons - BBC reporting an 'initial' £4.5 million - out of our reach anyway.

Wages reported to be around £40,000 per week.

£4.5m or £8m is a truly silly amount to spend on a League 1 player.

£4.5m or £8m is a truly silly amount to spend on player who, so far, has only scored goals in the 3rd tier of English football.

He has scored this season - a friggin penalty that cost me £200!

No, its not a bargain - He's unproven in this league, I agree, but he still scored...

I remember Everton doing the same with Beckford, took the chance and he couldn't replicate it.

Dare i say if we had any ambition he might be signing for us?

We wasted our cash on Ngog. Brilliant signing.

£8m!!! Rovers back in the big time. People laugh at the Venkys but when was the last time old Eddie Davies came up with £8m???? We are going to walk this league. Rhodes & Kazim-Richards would grace any Prem team.

But Rovers still had a worse score line than Bolton, the other night....

What was it again??

MK Dons 2 - 0 Blackburn Rovers

:-)

Not sure I would trust coyle to spend £8million on a player, would probably come back with Rasiak and a bag of magic beans.

Not our finest moment, but it was a second string team and no one really cares about the League Cup anymore.

We will walk this league, 100 goals easily with this strikeforce.

It was the same score MK Dons 2 Blackburn 1, thought a Blackburn fan would have corrected you on that.

Sky are full of surprises:-

Fulham have completed the signing of Kieran Richardson from Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
