[Tom]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

[Billy Castell]

I mentioned Janko as a throwaway comment, as we have often been linked with him. I can't be bothered to find any names this late at night, so I'll assume it'll be Janko, Matavz, or El-Hammydooi.

Perhaps Nicko will give us a clue.

[HemelRover]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

£3.5 for the Serbian, £2.5 for the Montenegrian. £6 mil in total.

[Ricky]

Has Nicko been snooping on this thread?

[Torgeir]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

Yeah, odd. Maybe that's including wages...?

[Emge]

Wouldnt mind Janko! Decent scoring-record!

[Ossydave]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

An initial 3.5, worth 6 with add-ons etc, u know the script by now surely

[Stevo]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

I think it is £3.5mil for Ibisevic and £2.5million for Vuckevic, going from that article. If so, very shrewd indeed!

Might be off the mark though, article was poorly written really.

[AmazinTim]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

Maybe 6m for both players?

That was a strangely positive article from Nicko.

[G Somerset Rover]

How long is Ibisevic out for?

[Dariomarcolin]

That article says £6m then further down £3.5m, which is it?

Initial £3.5 mil I'd imagine

[Hughesy]

How long is Ibisevic out for?

Another 6 weeks

[G Somerset Rover]

Another 6 weeks

Medical would surely be interesting then?

[Tom]

£3.5 for the Serbian, £2.5 for the Montenegrian. £6 mil in total.

I thought that at first but:

Blackburn boss Steve Kean has agreed a £6million deal for Bosnian striker Vedad Ibisevic.

Rovers will pay around £3.5million for Ibisevic

I imagine the £6m includes wages

[danielwhite813]

Why are we buying a striker thats out for 6 weeks.

so is it £6m or £3.5m? Looks like the sub editor and Alan aren't on the same page.

[Ricky]

£3.5m fee and £2.5 in wages I'm guessing. We know how venkys like to include wages in budgets

Sounds like a bit of a bargain. His goal return is pretty good for hoffenheim, just as good as demba ba's.

[Billy Castell]

I hope we sign another striker, on loan at least. Ibsevic is out for a couple of months (assuming he's signing of course), and we are really short of options. Perhaps Raul will sign about 2 minutes before the deadline, thus finishing off stroke boy.

[tony gale's mic]

Maybe 6m for both players?

That was a strangely positive article from Nicko.

I wouldn't say it's strangely positive, just that positive things are happening at Ewood for a change.

Nicko doesn't have some kind of anti Rovers agenda all of a sudden. It's just things this summer have been utterly shambolic, but still better late than never.

[chaddyrovers]

An initial 3.5, worth 6 with add-ons etc, u know the script by now surely

yeah I think you are right there. For 6 million pounds Ibisevic is a bargain.

[Dan Furness]

Janko has been scouted on and off by Rovers main scouts for a good few years. Same time they used to go look at Dzeko

[Torgeir]

Why are we buying a striker thats out for 6 weeks.

Looks like it. There aren't many great strikers around. Ibisevic is a good striker with a decent scoring record, I don't think we'll find anyone better at that price without taking a gamble like we did with Kalinic.

[Balwer]

£3.5m fee and £2.5 in wages I'm guessing. We know how venkys like to include wages in budgets

Sounds like a bit of a bargain. His goal return is pretty good for hoffenheim, just as good as demba ba's.

So we've signed him to a one year 50K a week deal or two year 25K deal? Otherwise it makes no sense.

My only worry with Ibisevic is that after going on that great run of 18 in 17 he was out for the rest of the season, and since then his goal record has tailed off somewhat.

Still, I guess his price of £3.5 million reflects this.
