By your arguments then, every striker we have plays like Beattie. Daft argument Mellison.

Tell me the strengths of Beattie?

We haven't tried to play Benni or Kalinic as a Target Man at all! Don't twist my words. We played hit and hope, whereas 'target man' is hit to a specific player.

As I have said: Beattie is a ready-made replacement for Roberts who will work a little bit harder. that is an improvement on the weakest striker in our squad. Of course I hope other additions can be made, but don't try and imply (you haven't yet, but you inevitably will given your record on here) that I think beattie is a world-beater. I think (meaning it's my OPINION) he's better than our weakest striker and therefore I'm all for signing him.

I would rather have Beattie than Roberts. It such a deal could be done with virtually no expenditure then I would back it.

However, if we're going to be upgrading positions, I'd rather we did it in midfield. O'Hara wouldn't have been a bad shout sadly.

O'Hara is a decent lad, lively and committed, wouldnt mind him at all!!

I can't decide on Beattie. My head says STAY AWAY; I know what he's like off the pitch and he's not the sort of person I'd like to be taking a large salary off my club. But my heart says there might be something there. I've always thought he showed some signs of being a top player but has never really tried, maybe he'd do it for his own club?? But as we all know your head is rarely wrong!

We will be numpties, if we pay 2.5mill for Beattie.

Dont forget to factor in his £1.5 to possibly £2m a year wages for a lad who wasnt good enough ten years ago.

Looks like Rovers have well and truly lost their way.

God knows what to make of that post.

Anyway, to label Roberts as a bit of a non tryer is off target too. Lack of quality definately, but non tryer? No.

to big up the signing of a striker past his best by a distance that even the stokes of this world won't miss is exceptionally depressing.

He's an older di santo without the pace and unfortunately about as many goals in him, save 2.5m and stick samba up top.

stick to shopping in the french leagues got to be the striking equivilent of a givet or n'zonzi calibre bargain there somewhere.

JAL you're great, I love the way you absolutely go off your rocker, no messing about. A bit premature to be honest!

1) It's just speculation at present

2) Even if there is some truth in the story, there is absolutely no chance we are going to pay 2.5m for a 31 year old striker who is out of favour at his club, especially when we current have 0 pounds to spend.

My guess is we will buy for whatever roughly we sell Roberts for. Probably around a million? If it even happens at all.

The one scenrio which would scare me would be selling Benni for 2.5m and bringing in Beattie for the same, but I just can't see that happening. It is too ridiculous.
