HESKEY...came up as an idea and went away just as quick a couple of weeks back...I heard it, others round here heard it...but nothing came off.

JO...Man City back from USA, if they can sign strikers he will clearly go...but there are owneership and third-party issues that need to be resolved...got a chance.

CROUCH...big money, big wages...wanted a year ago and many times in the past by Sam...but way too expensive.

Did any of them miss training and go awol?

Easy to add that to a contract - don't turn up for training etc and you don't get paid.

Jo would be a cracking signing if we could afford him. If we could get the best out of him, we’d have a gem on our hands. 23 year old Brazilian international, cost 18 million two years ago, better goal-scoring record than Roque at previous clubs, Premier League experience etc etc. Certainly worth a gamble if we can get him for a few million – real re-sale potential if he comes good. Certainly better than the other names we’ve been linked with and definitely a Rovers type signing, a player needing his career resurrecting, only younger than the usual ones.

ha ha...mate you can come and work for me in the sales department....you certainly know how to focus on the benefits...let's look at the negatives.

Lazy

Slow

Not much of a goalscorer although he plays in this position

bad attitude (see moyes comments about him not turning up for training on more than one occasion)

bought for £18m and loaned out after being rubbish

While I'm no fan of Heskey - I actually think he'd fit in well at Rovers. He'd be either an ideal player for Niko to play off, or a good target man for the lone striker position. When we beat Arsenal at home, Roberts was superb in that position. Heskey could do a better job than Roberts. I'd prefer Jo, but wouldn't be too upset with Heskey either.

Nicko: Is it any thruth in Heskey to Rovers rumours?

I've a feeling Emile will be rocking up at Bristol City in the near future.

You're of course totally right - we should go for Rooney or Torres instead. Far less negatives. ;)

My guess is Daniel Sturridge of Chelsea.

i dont think that would happen if it did would only be a loan deal and Chelsea were said to be pretty peed off that we extended DiSanto loan then didnt really play him 2nd half of the season

If Rovers had looked at that one and found out his wages I would actually pay to see John Williams's face when he discovered what the lad is on...scary.

Yes, but Jo's negatives (slow, lazy and doesn't score goals) put certain constraints on him performing his role as a centre forward. :unsure:

nicko, how serious do you think we actually are about signing someone?

Do you believe we actually have had two serious undisclosed bids rejected for this mystery target or is it possible it's a story put out to make it appear as though we are doing something?

If we were deadly serious about signing a striker, given it's only one player, we'd have done it by now wouldn't we?

I think you have been serious about signing at least one striker for the past few days - increased since the manager had a tantrum and some funds were made available.

The 'mystery striker' thing is a bit odd and could cover a multitude of possibilities and not just one.

I know for sure that - as of the weekend - there were frantic efforts being made to find two strikers. So I don't think anyone at the club is counting on even one being a done deal at this stage.

That can obviously change once all of the factors fall into place.

Ta, it may be they'll be a relative glut of availability just before the deadline - our problem is we can't really wait that long and we can't afford to get off to a bad start.

We're already looking at the slight possibility of having one or no strikers fit for the start of the season.
