Silly to mention any figure. If someone now offers 20 mill he's got no choice but to accept, leaving you desperate to get a suitable replacement.

Did anyone hear the words come out of his mouth he might have been asked a question that they have conviently missed off the website and put the quotes together to resemble him saying £20 million is what he would sell at. I still don't thik roque will go but i just want the transfer window to close now. Lets give roque a hero's welcome tomorrow afternoon.

Doesn't that make the assumption that Taggart considers Roque to be worth £20 million? I am not being argumentative or even trying to widen the Roque debate (not that this emotive subject requires any more catalysts!!) BUT, most importantly, nor am I trying to speak with blue and white tinted Raybans!! WE adore Roque, WE think Roque walks on water, WE think he can find a cure for cancer and resurrect John Wayne..........this is because WE are Rovers fanatics. The rest of the league consider Roque to be a very good striker.....VERY GOOD striker.......they don't consider him to be a Torres, Adebeyor or even Arshavin. The point I am making is this.......I don't believe any of the clubs would put a value of £20 million in his head and would, therefore, not be prepared to pay that much. Spuds shirked at £19.5 million for Arshavin.....a man they had almost bet their reputation on getting.....are they therefore going to pay MORE for Roque??? I doubt it. Villa will never pay £20 million for anyone because, like the rest of the clubs in and around them it is far too much of a risk. That leaves the big 4........Arsenal are a no....they have Adebeyor, Chelsea are a no.....they don't need him.......Liverpool are a no.....they can't afford £18 million for Barry.......that leaves Manure and ONLY Manure. Taggart...loathe him though I do, is a very shrewd man....he never pays over the odds for a player and will not start with Roque. It is too much of a risk to throw all his eggs in one basket on one man who would have to demand regular first team football to support the amount paid for him. How would Tevez and Shrek feel about that? Could he keep them all happy??

In a nutshell I am saying this. WE value Roque so highly because he plays for our club and we love what he does in a Rovers shirt. That doesnt mean a plethora of clubs are now going to FedEx a £20 million cheque to JW anytime soon.

My first post......keep up the great work mods.

ermm.................veron, kleberson,carrick,hargreaves,anderson,nani,..........................i'd say he's quite willing to pay over the odds and then some!

Yeah, he can say no, but he's made it difficult for himself.

Never knew saying something on Sky was a legally binding verbal agreement/contract?!

Dont remember him mentioning Cruz's name either, for all we know the 20 million fee could be in relation to Paul Gallagher! :lol:

In other news, Villa are valueing Ashley Young at £30 million? How much does that make Cruz worth then to Villa?! :lol:

You make a valiid point and I am mot going to argue with it but I will say this is......Veron was regarded as the best midfielder in the world when he bought him, Carrick is English......ALL overpriced (ergo Hargreaves), Kleberson was the Brazilian Whizkid that the country themselves regarded as their next great thing and Anderson and Nani's prices have been greatly exaggerated I believe. The £50 million price tag for the two was a total load of hogwash and whatever price was agreed was only based on add-ons and 'ifs'.

All that aside, the key point of my post was that I dont believe anyone will bid £20 million (CASH) for Roque.......I won't eat all my hats or do some of the other rediculous things people state they will do on here if they do because football always surprises you......just my humble opinion based purely on the values put by OTHER clubs on strikers which THE WORLD (not Rovers fans) consider to be a level above Roque.

Nicko, do you expect any big name signings to come to rovers in the next week, someone to get us really excited?

But I believe there is even bigger Man City news round the corner which is why I have been missing for most of the day.

Are they going for Gary Glitter ?

Did RSC signing a new contract completely escape your radar nicko?

All we've had for the last week or two are veiled hints about other clubs coming in for him and it being a long time to the end of the window etc. etc.

There were rumours about him signing a new contract.

I'm pretty sure Rovers would have kept this one very tight lipped, if other clubs had known he may be accepting a new contract then it might well of rushed them into a high panic bid.

You know what they say, sometimes no news is good news.

All in all though, this is the best signing we have made and are likely to make all summer.

You obviously failed to spot that I said he was happy at the club - got the usual slagging for that - and that it 'would be a good idea' to offer him a new contract a few days ago.

Not you like to moan or be selective.

Hey Big Al

if you can headline Fowler turns down Rovers offer for your Sunday Headline I will personally buy the mirror all season.

You know it makes sense as that gap we talked about is unbridgeable B):P

Nicko, is there any truth in the 'Joaquin is staying put' comments by a member of the Valencia board?

I think the 'Joaquin stays' story that came out earlier looks pretty reliable.

There is a very good Man City story going to break in the papers tomorrow.

Hopefully a follow-up to it on Sunday.

Might make one or two doubters realise how bad things are there...and what could be happening next.

Get the online papers early and see what you think.
