He said there was no fee based release clause in his contract. Personally if I was in charge I wouldn't even consider paying transfer fees other than minimum ones for players coming out of contract in the summer. It's just a waste of money.

That's the game we're in I fear.

If so - Honda please Venkys!!

He wants a move & his agent has been talking about him being happy to join Liverpool.

Awesome player, if only

Oooops, got carried away there - going to a pantomime tonight. Oh, sorry, that's tomorrow; I think ...

Nope. We're definitely playing tonight. 8:00pm Kick Off.

Happy with the Bentley and Keane Link, Nicko, is there anything in this or is just pure paper talk now we appear to have some money?

It's crap.

And I have some Stealers Wheel albums to listen to.

Two domestic things have moved on today. One more should.

Got some work to do and a game to go to - the Champions League push is still on.

There will be an 11 o'clocker - possibly later depending on the traffic.

Are the things that have moved on related to us? Rovers!!!

Plus very slow message board.

Does anyone think there is any chance that Venkys will get bored quickly and sell the club and move on ?

*crosses fingers*

If they don't land Ronaldhino or Becks then I think there's every chance of that. You can only get so much good publicity out of failed marquee bids then it becomes embarrassing. Issue is - who'd buy?

Do you really think they'd consider selling after one transfer window? Is that just a hunch or...?

There is a greater chance of a buyer without Ronaldinho on the wage bill, if it went pear shaped with the kind of salary mentioned, no one would buy, until the club went into administration!!

We were on sale for bloody years and you expect us to be put up for sale again after a few months? How do you expect that one to end? Do you think there was a rich Blackburn fan waiting in the wings that needed a couple more months to put a bid together?

What's the obsession with Honda? I've seen him a few times for CSKA and he looks lost half the time. Yes he can take a free kick....wow. There are better options out there i'm sure. Keith Andrews has a better scoring record than him and he's in a harder league

To be fair, it was always going to be difficult buying from the Trust as opposed to a say, Venkys. Don't forget a number of buyers were "vetted". Not saying we will be sold unless things go seriously pear-shaped, but I thought knowing that the circumstances are way too different compared to 6 months ago was worth highlighting.

Why are the bookies convinced we're not going to be spending much at all this transfer window? It worries me that they're rarely wrong..

Does anybody else think a considerable amount of press has the boot in for us at the moment? Everything is coming across with a negative slant. I know the Venky's have done odd things, apart from sacking Sam which was completely bonkers imo, but to have this much bad press almost seems like they deliberately want to keep us where we are.

One way to change that.

SIGN SOMEONE THAT MAKES THEM SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE!

It doesn't have to be anywhere near a Ronaldinho for that to happen, but it does have to happen soon to stop talk of all this being hot air.

They havent mentioned in total - just 1 sum over £5m.......based on a technicality?

Adam - under £5m

Samba - could form part of a swap

Ronaldinho - rumours he has bought his own contract out, so possibly free

Duff - under £5m

Barca kid - loan

RSC - loan
