I think it's probably more to do with venkys AGAIN not willing to pay certain wages, when are they going to learn the world of football.

We need players and we need them now.

Well if he was asking for 30k then I take my words back, fair play he isn't worth that

What? So you blame Venky's for not being willing to pay somebody, who in footballing terms is pretty much a nobody, more than £30k? Get real, man.

Does anybody know if EliteSportsM on twitter is Goodwillie's agent, if so he's just tweeted this:

David Goodwille will not sign for Blackburn. Just saying. However I don't want that as a distraction to me
David Goodwille to blackburn ain't gonna happen.

He can't of been asking for anything over the top surely. What annoys me is that under the previous regime who were as tight as anything could agree personal terms for the likes of Bellamy, McCarthy, Santa cruz, givet. Whilst the current regime who keep claiming they are willing to spend can't agree terms for a player moving from a mid table spl team to a premiership club. I really can't get my head round it, goodwillie will be on no more than 15k a week at Dundee, must of been the bonuses they couldn't agree on.

The deal has hit another "snag" according to the BBC. No mention of the cause but could it just be the usual one....... ?

..... Venky's don't wish to spend the little money they do have.

I was given -4 for this earlier today. Some people just cannot handle bad news can they ?

Ive read the same things , deal dead according to his agent and who else is more in the know then the agent. He couldn't agree personal terms and looks Rangers bound if you ask me. It would be a shock if he turned us down for Blackpool. Its frustrating, On Friday I was not liking the idea of Goodwillie coming to Blackburn then finding more information about the player, speaking to Scottish football fans I came round and was pretty excited to have such a highly rated player coming to Blackburn aged 22. There's more fish in the sea though and a lot more work to be done in the next 10 days

Very disappointing that this deal has fallen through. If he was asking £30k plus then fair enough but just can't believe that his demands would've been so high.

Disappointing but are you surprised ? It's been said over and over again......Venky's will not spend the money.

But why go so far with a prospective player then not offer enough money?

For a player at Dundee United we shouldn't have to break the wage structure for him. Who at the club will not be handling contracts? Surely not Ali Merchant, maybe that guy who came from Leicester (but he isn't Chief Exec, is he?)

Being scrupulously fair, it may be that the player think he's better than he is and we're not prepared to set our already-inflated wage structure out of kilter for him.

The nagging thought in my mind though is that given the way the club's infra-structure has been gutted, and the confused command structure (who's really running the club?) that we are (notwithstanding the capture of Petrovic, pending work permit application) actually incapable of signing any decent players.

They were able to agree terms with a player of higher pedigree (Petrovic) and the fact that they got the bid accepted contradicts your statement.

Suprised and dissapointed as well. Will be interesting to find out what caused the deal to collapse so quickly.

Possibly true, but most transfers fall through because of money. The story going around Scotland is Rovers wouldn't pay him the wages. I'd amend your last sentence to Incapable of signing any players.

There, that should get me another -5 votes (and counting).
