I'm hearing a rumour that the bid is BELOW the release clause, but this is because we asked to have add ons included which would bump the final price ABOVE 16m.

If true, shrewd.

BBC saying the total deal is around £17m. Depends on the clauses inserted but £16m straight cash now may have been more use then £15m + 2.5m after 20 england caps or something.

Eitherway we I don't think we have done that badly out of it. I would have loved him to stay for another year and I think it would have done his career well, but if he can displace Rio then he has 10 years playing at the top. No mean feat.

As long as the add ons aren't related to selling him on as he wont be going anywhere once he is at Utd.

Dissapointed to see him go, thought we could keep him for another season at least. Will only feature for united in carling cup and if ferdinand is injured!

Will be bad if we lose samba and juniour too.

An even bigger disaster if all the cash is not spent on new players!

I'm not as upset as most seem, disappointed but understand the reasoning. I don't think he will be quite as big a miss as a lot think.

We survived before him and will exist afterwards.

I suppose united were still smarting from the reserve final defeat and wanted a stronger chance next season.

Sounds ominous...

Blackburn still not commenting on Jones. Crazy situation from the club, I won't tweet what I was unofficially told

So why mention it? Either say what you heard or it's pointless to let people's minds think the worst.

We will have enough negativity on here after this.

Defenders are the most easily replaced players. Every other 'big' player we've lost in the recent past has been an attacking one, so it had a major impact.

At this point I'd rather buy a left back with a bit of the money and go with Samba, Givet, Nelsen and Hanley as the centre backs. If Samba goes too then we'll obviously need a new centre back.

Keeping Hoilett is now the biggest priority.

He's best off out of Rovers. What are the odds on Venkys reinvesting any of that cash?

I actually think they will reinvest most of it. But the problem is that Kean would be the one spending it. Please dont let kentaro near it.
