The cost of Bellamy is ridiculous. There is no point in trying to match it.

West Ham are paying £9 million in installments, with a figure around £7 million down and the rest in bits. That would be more than you got for him and a bit daft.

However the wages are wild. I heard £75,000-a-week and I think that is right. Over four years that is a further £16 million in salary. If you think what this would do to the payroll at Rovers it is not worth the cash.

If Bellamy came on that wage there would be a queue round the block to get pay rises, so the 'cost' would be even more than the £25 million on the player himself.

It's common sense to take a back seat on this one.

I'd be fine with us paying that fee, but those wages are a concern. If he really would prefer to play for us by a long shot though, maybe we wouldn't have to pay him so much. He accepted 30k at Liverpool when we were offering 60, because he wanted to play for them.

Thanks for the reply Nicko,

If its true that we offered him £60k a week to stay, I thought we would have offered him the same this time, so he at least had the option to come back if he wanted to.

I do agree the financial package West Ham have offered is out of our league.

With regards to the transfer fee, we made about £2m when we sold him, so i wouldn't of thought that would be an issue.

The club does not have major debts to pay off at the moment, and with the new TV deals coming in, there must be money somewhere for a transfer like this before the season starts. It's not like we need to buy 3 or 4 others with the squad that we have.

I have honestly said too much about the mystery man already. I thought I went after stories hard, but I have nothing on you lot... :lol:

The whole tale will be in the People tomorrow. Or at least as much as I know. Or what is left to add to the astonishing detective work done by some of the posters so far.

There is also a takeover update with as much info as I can gather too.

But in the meantime Mrs Nicko wants a night out, so I had better go.

Interesting to find out thoughts on target and takeover tomorrow...

Signed to keep Jan, Roversmum etc happy. ;)

In a 2006 World Cup edition of German magazine Kicker he was voted the sexiest man to be taking part in the tournament.

He was also chosen by the German newspaper Die Welt as the sexiest footballer of the 2006 World Cup.

Oh, I say............ :ph34r:

I was hoping the take over had gone away as I wish the prospective buyers would :(

In my view this close season is simply helping to prove we need the right calibre of new owners in sooner rather than later.

However whether the American interest falls into that bracket I'm not sure.

Looking at Cruz's goals to games ratio, not sure I'd want him here unless he brings lots of other qualities.

So you'd obviously have refused to break the British transfer record in 1992 for a guy from Southampton that had a similar ratio? :)

Maybe he has been in and out of the team? His games played isn't exactly consistent. He has always impressed me when i've seen him, that twice in every 2 or 3 seasons against an english team in the CL.

I would love to comment on him but have never seen him play - could anyone shed any light on him - anything to get excited about?

(Did a search to see some of his goals on Youtube and while there are a couple there are loads of picture compilations of him :blink: Oh, well, if he does sign I still wont know anything more about him but what I do know is that we will have a few more fans from the Gay community :lol: )
