Yep it's the way forward for Rovers, buy a few cheap youngsters with potential, if one comes good it potentially sets us up for the near future with the benefit of him in the team then potentially setting up our next big purchase.

There has to be a balance though

I wouldn't mind Gudjohnsen provided we felt we could genuinely get three or four years out of him. Which for a player of his considerable talent, touch and inteligence is possible if he looks after himself and we find him the right role.

Think though that £2m fee + 3 years of wages on say £50k, would mean he would cost us £10m - thats a big risk for a player who has failed to have an impact at Monaco.

We need a combination of youth and experience. One thing I like about Eidur is that he can play both striker and midfield, which makes him more valuable.

I think we need a fairly big name signing to come here and Gudjohnsen would do the trick nicely. If we secured him and then got a few more promising youngsters in similar to N'zonzi then it will be a good window.

I dont think Cardiff will accept it. I know they are in financial difficulties but surely if they wait until the end of the season Tribunal will award them more than that for him. They can point to the fact that they rejected 6m for him 18 months ago. Also with their current promotion push he's probably worth more to them if he can push them into the prem and leave at the end of the season.

Good player but not sure we'll get him.

I was thinking the same thing Ricky, and, even if we did agree a fee of 1.5M, there's no way we would be the only interested party at that price.

Ledley was being talked about in the £10 million bracket at the beginning of the season was he not?

Anyway if a player of his supposed ability is available for £1.5 mill I cannot see us getting anything like the money we are supposed to be asking for MGP!

Which is why Cardiff trying to cash in as he is not signing a new contract.

Perhaps we could throw a player into the bargain?

Robertsinho perhaps?

Ledley born 21/01/1987.

He was in demand in the summer, with both Stoke and Everton (nicko's article) bidding circa 6m for him, Brown was also watching him in the close season.

Everton went on to buy the Russian ballerina LM for 10m, that should put their interest to bed

It may well be that Ledley will not be in such great demand this window and as others have mentioned he is out of contract in the summer, will cardiff risk losing him for nothing at the risk of missing promotion?????.

If the links are true then 1.5m sounds about right for an opening bid, can't beat a bit of bartering, and a PX would be even better.

He played this weekend so I doubt any move is even close.

I remember in the WC - qualifiers, Eidur played "in the hole" against Norway, and he totally dominated the game. No one was even close to his level, at least for 70 minutes, until he tired.

There is no doubt he could do the same for us, although the wages and his fitness COULD be a problem. I'm undecided, but will support a bid for him if we could get him for 2- 3 mill and below 50K in wages...

I don't know if this was already posted but Sam Allardyce has disclosed that "Benni and Jason or someone like that..." would have to move on before we could sign Beattie and "Unfortunately our four strikers haven't scored the goals needed for us."

Sounds a bit harsh including Kalinic in that, but there you go.

Allardyce criticising his players in the press is becoming an issue, why doesnt he just shut his big gob, get on with it and sort it out.
