I keep saying that there's something going on! I can feel it in my bones.

VERY intriguingly!
Think they might be interested in a straight swap for Cavies?

That's just old age sadly mate.  

But seriously, I am slightly confident of getting him for some reason....time will tell.

This has got to happen soon, the club aren't nipping it in the bud, so there's something happening.

I think we've got a good chance, I reckon things are happening behind the office door.

When's Natasha back? I'm optimistic, Keegan's optimistic, in fact we're all getting fairly optimistic about this Rhodes business.
Natasha will soon knock the optimism out of all of us.

Meanwhile looks like QPR are in for Crouchy at........£1million!

What's wrong with Cavies? I think he'll be a great signing especially for just £300K. I'd much rather fook off Sordell than Cavies and get some dosh back.

I'd get rid of all our current strikers if it was possible

I see that a few have been winding the Barstards up with this Rhodes lark.  

I would have thought that the Blackburn fans will be mortified at the thought of selling Rhodes.

Speaking of the Venky's, I was driving in Bolton earlier today and I could have sworn I saw the Rao brothers stood outside No 3 Moncrieffe Street in Bolton. I hope they are not sniffing around our club.

Not guilty! 

Odds on Rhodes signing for us have gone out to 5/1 today (from 2/1) and Swansea are still favourites (out to 2/1 from 7/4) despite signing Wilfried Bony. There's only one possible explanation - the bookies know nothing.

reports in todays mirror that we have made a £12millon enquiry for JR

12?
WOW!

That's too much IMO.

yeah. If we sign him, he will be worth well more than that to us if his goals fire us back up to the big time.

Let's see if Rovers and Rhodes' agent take the piss. £12 million seems like a desperate move so I imagine they'd take advantage unless something was already worked out in advance.
I'm just thinking that if we spend £12 million, will we still get Spearing and who else could we get for that kind of money?
See what happens when Dougie gets the chance to sell the "development of young players" ethos to Rhodes - guarantee Zaha will be mentioned in that conversation.

yeah no doubt Zaha will get a mention. Lets hope all these reports are true, and well done to the club for actually putting their money where it's mouth is.

You sure this wasn't in the mirror in front of you? I can't see any reports anywhere confirming this! Can u provide a link please? Ta

I can't find anything about it either so further info would be useful. I'm sure LT wouldn't be making this up as he's been a pretty reliable poster so far.
Anyone read the Mirror?
