i would rather have neither, yakubu is a hasbeen, wont improve our strikeforce one bit and beckford is a championship player, suppose we will be playing championship football next season anyway, so they will be right at home, we should be channeling our efforts on a quality striker not spending 5 million on a defender, absolutely clueless.

Whilst i agree with your comment about bringing "quality" to the club I must disagree with with them "not improving our strike force"... As we don't have one. Yakabu can do the same job Roberts can but can finish, like for like I know who i'd rather pick.

i agree but replacing like for like will only make us go sidewways, we are desperate for a proper striker and yakubu is probably a championship player now and has probably lost his hunger, he cant even get in, what was a poor everton side, moyes is no fool unlike our joker of a manager.

From Alan Nixon.

"Your boss bid 6m for a striker and wanted a Prem cb on loan. His mouth. If Yak is right then I know who runs the club ..."

I seem to remember Steve Kean saying... "I have complete control of transfers".... About as much control of the wheel of his car :rolleyes: .

Yakubu is a 'hasbeen' but he'll still improve our strikeforce. As for spending 5mill on Dann, would we be able to get a striker for 5mill that would improve our team as much as he would? Maybe Kean's realised the best way to build a team is by having a solid defence.

It'll probably won't matter given our record in the transfer window.

I just read that Yakubu is only 28... that can't be real can it!?!?!?!

I think he could be a decent signing, not sure on his fitness though, after the achilles tendon injury, has he not lost his yard of pace?

I think the Scott Dann story is another one of those that won't amount to anything, I hope to be proved wrong though as I think he's a cracking player.

If we sign the pair we will be a stronger team, if we can get Yakubu back to his best we will have 2-3 good years out of him, and he is a far better player than Jibbly Bobberts!!!

I'd prefer a better striker with a minimal injury record and who is ready to get on the pitch & contribute, but with only a week to go maybe Yakubu will do.

I'm not holding my breath on either of these possible transfers though!!!

Events in the past few days seem to make it abundantly clear that Steve Kean isn't calling the shots. I'm sure that's part of what Nicko is talking about. Several times this window, Kean has spent a great deal of time getting a deal to the medical stage, only for it to be called off. He seems to have no control over transfer. Hopefully this means he's a dead man walking and Mrs Desai has lost faith in his judgement. In which case, she has to get rid. A powerless manager is not in anyone's interest.

Here in America most managers don't decide which players to get, so it's not necessarily a terrible idea. But it does raise the question-if Kean isn't calling the shots on transfers, then who is?

posted in the links section of the forum but may as well pearoast here as well a link i found on the daily f****t website claiming we have agreed a 5 million deal for Scott Dann. I wouldn't normally go on that website, but was looking for other rovers related news.... honest!

Good question. Some bloke called Pini Zahavi, apparently.

That's enough twitter for me today, I think. Conspiracies everywhere a bloke looks.

The guy who supposedly made £3m from Yakubu's transfer to Boro? I'd have thought even Kentaro would be cheaper than that!
