Unfortunately not.

Aside from the brilliant Xabi Alonso one (you can probably find the discussion generated by that if you search hard enough), my favourite ones used to be the obscene guesses for how much each PL team would spend in a transfer window. The real figures never amounted to even half.

Name them.

Nicko, what's the deal with Ba? Was he transferred permanently to West Ham in January or was it just a loan deal? Or as some papers are saying it's some kind of payment plan based on installments that the new club will have to take on? Can't really imagine it being a straight money transfer where he would have a clause to be able to leave on free five months after? If it was a loan deal, is Hoffenheim really letting him leave on free?

Ba joined West Ham for £500,000 down and a further major lump if they stayed up.

They didn't.

He was able to demand a free because of a clause in his contract.

So Hoffenheim lost out, West Ham lost a bit of money but are not crying.

Strange, strange transfer.

LT list of KEAN targets

Collins & Seb Larsson on the domestic list

Vucinic - High on the list, price around £16m. Also considered Adebayor & Amauri

Miranda - Central defence but agent says still likely to join Atletico even though we offered to double his wages, since been offered Argentinian defender Novaretti

Also mentioned we may get involved in Matt Mills from Reading

I would rather we splashed out on N'Zogbia. He will keep us in the Premier League.

Should we not aim higher than just stay in the league?

is no one else looking forward to seeing the likes of Rochina and Formica next season? I know I am. They will be like 2 new signings anyway

YES! Very much! And Grant Hanley aswell.

The Rovers coaching staff and dietitian needs to get Formica on Whey protein and get him smashing the gym everyday and putting on some decent size. Maybe they should ring Michah Richards up and see what his diet etc is like. I can see it now an monster Argentinean twinkle toes in our midfield!!!

I don't know which part of the LET report is more depressing .... Collins as a transfer target or Venky's continuing love-in with Kean by paying for his and his wife's holiday.

I'm sure Kean loves his wife but for Rovers fans the combination of Kean and Venky's so far has been a marriage made in hell.

Like the Man United steroid academy. Previous graduates including Nani, C Ronaldo, Obertan and Evra. All came back after a 3 month break HUGE.

I'm looking forward to seeing Formica more than Rochina, due to simple fact that I haven't seen him yet and hope that he can be a real creative influence on the team. What I saw of Rochina I liked and look forward to seeing him progress next season.

Agree about Collins.

Just a thought Jim, Mark Hughes is still unemployed. A bad start to the season and there is a ready-made alternative to get the juices flowing!

Pity Kean will have spent the dosh by then though! :(

As working as an physician its not just to build muscles, you have to combine it with the right stretch to avoid stiffness and not to lose pace.....Its alot of work but maybe Formica may need it, Rochina looks in really good shape.

I would had liked them to beef up Kalinic to the size of Ibrahimovic....similiar height but Zlatan has more muscles than Kalinic.

I've never rated Collins, quite error prone from what I've seen of him due to poor positioning. If Collins replaces Jones we are weaker defensively, it's a major downgrade.

Been looking at Vucinic in closer detail, his goal record really isn't that impressive. Better than what we have currently? Yes but at a cost of £16m? It seems rather steep if you ask me.

Why Hughes resigned from Fulham is a mystery ..... did he think he was in line for the Villa job ?

I'll believe the Venky's money when I see it. If they want success for Rovers they would be better spending money on a good manager first before players.

Collins is very ordinary...not in the same league as either Samba or Jones, so swapping those 2 for him instantly makes the squad weaker. Venky's would of course though have more money in the family coffers.

He often plays in midfield.
