Apparently Woy's call was taken by Jim Smith's assistant who went into Jim's office and asked: "Jim, Blackburn are on the phone, how much for Dailly?"

JS "About £2m"

Asst "They've offered £5.5m"

JS "Why the **** haven't you accepted it?"

I remember hearing something similar, but that we called them up and said "we want one of your players, and we're willing to pay £5.25m". They accepted, reasoning that they couldn't turn that money down for anyone, and instead of it being for one of their star players (Eranio ringing a bell) we asked for Dailly. Has to be up there with Newcastle giving us money for Souness or Palace buying Kuqi for £2.5m.

TICKER LATEST...

Daryl Murphy of Sunderland likely to join Wolves on loan...and NOT Hull or Ipswich...

Daft thing about Zurab is that two Championship clubs are thinking about moving for him after the window shuts, taking him on loan, which is no good to Rovers right now...and getting cash for anyone else.

The Pantelic to Ajax thing is right...but they were still sniffing round Benni as late as last night...

To be fair, Kuqi did see out his contract at Palace and they wanted to sign him this season, but didn't have the cash for his wages (was a heck of a sale by us, though).
