Everton now a striker short and armed with a bit more cash.

West Brom are on the verge of signing Everton striker Victor Anichebe. #WBAFC #EFC

Sorry to disappoint you yet again but they"re after Lukaku on loan from Chelsea according to the reporters on Talksport.

[Steve Moss]

Buy low, sell high. I think Whelan has the concepts covered very well.

[Majiball]

Yes of course he is.

who, mercerman or rhodes??

Sorry just wanted to bump the thread after reading Stuarts post.

If Anichebe goes, Everton will bid for Rhodes #squeekybumtime #rovers #brfc

No disrespect to anyone, but who's Mark Hitchen and how would he know this? (genuine question..)

[RevidgeBlue]

Muppet? What a businessman more like. Dave Whelan's business acumen cannot be doubted. When you are £150m behind him you can retire dwayne.

Nevertheless in this particular instance he must know a derisory offer of 2m less than we paid for Rhodes was barely worth dignifying with a response.

Probably a public tyre kicking exercise to save face and keep their fans happy after the United - Everton - Wigan chain of events failed to materialise.

Sounds to me that Jordans agent is hawking his name around, speaking to SSN, making sure everyone knows Wigan are interested etc...

It's like any sort of bid, it can be increased far easier than decreased. i'm sure that Whelan will know the inside track on Rover's finances.

[AggyBlue]

It's too late even if Whelan doubled his bid. The Rao's are fast asleep.

[John]

Raos will be fast asleep no doubt dreaming of BRFC promotion this season!

There seems to be a lot of conflicting stories as to whether a bid has actually been made at all. According to some sources we rejected a bid this morning from Wigan that was substantially more than the one SSN claims they submitted this afternoon!

Pretty clear he isn't going to Wigan anyhow whether Whelan has submitted an insulting bid or not.

Edit: Shane Long has reportedly left the ROI training camp and is thought to be on his way to Hull for talks. That's one Club I thought might be interested

i'm quite sure there's a figure that shaw's been told to accept

Well in this case dear Dave can go get stuffed!!

I'm quite sure Shaw has been told he's not for sale

I wouldn't go as far as to call it derisory. Whelan's put a bid in that's hoping to take advantage of Rovers struggling finances (or Venkys greed as I'd describe it). Considering even some of our fans over the summer have been quite prepared, and sometimes even happy its seemed, that he could go at that price, its hardly surprising an outsider has been thinking the same.

[Andy]

There was never any real danger of him going to Wigan.

They can't afford him, we can't afford to lose him right now and it's no more than a sideways step.

Never going to happen in a million years.

Don't know someone edited my post to put this in

No new moves for Jordan Rhodes. Blackburn keep him. And a billion chickens in India move closer to the slaughter ...

haha thats funny

[AJW]

I still fear a newcastle bid , they've failed to get Gomis and Ba .... Sure Rhodes was on their list

[Waggy76]

So am I but I cannot see Wigan paying it though !

No Joe Kinnear is probably tucked up in bed now fast asleep, dreaming about his glory years.

[chor808]

GB on the radio 'not for sale'

[perthblue02]

I'm quite sure Shaw has been told he's not for sale

I'm quite sure Shaw was told no contract's longer than 12 months and look what happened,

Still it's a worry with the transfer window still open that Shaw will get confused and press the wrong button on the computer and sell him to Bournemouth for 56 pence

I'd have to disagree, how is a 2m quid loss going to appeal to anyone's alleged sense of greed?

Unless we only actually paid 3-4 m for him and the rest of the 8m headline figure consists of add ons which is a theory I've heard advanced but don't necessarily believe.

[John]

@Iandennisbbc: Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer tells @bbc5live Rovers do not want to sell Jordan Rhodes "they are not going to sell him" Wigan bid 6m

I would go as far as to call it a 'Krafty b'stards' bid.
