Was actually me, was seeing how many people would bullsh*t that they've seen him near the STC or that they have several connections etc.. worked a treat and everyone got themselves in a worry we had set our sights on a 'marquee' signing... 

So you were basically attention seeking. What a strange world we live in when people get their kicks from doing things like this. 

[rovers11]

I'd be surprised if we ever pay £5m for Hirst but it's a very good idea to insert a buy clause. I think it makes it far more exciting if you know a loan player could join you permanently if they do well. 

Personally I think he'll become a fans favourite and surprise a few people but probably won't justify paying a £5m fee but we'll see.

That guy has just signed for Burnley. How did he get a work permit? Thought he wouldn't meet the requirements? 

Only asking cos apparently we have bids in for players in Europe.

Gallagher and Brittain out for 6 weeks.....

I'm with JH on the fee, we don't have £5m for 1 player, we need to buy an entire team with that, but this deal is perfect for a club like ours with no money, its a win win situation for us.

No money apart from the £6.5m already spent?

Yes, you were delighted when Gally and Hedges were injured. That's worked out well....

I think we're going to get to 800 pages before everyone grasps the concept of an option to buy at an agreed price. 

Although, I get the wage structure point.  He scores 20 plus goals in the champ.  We have the option to sign him for £5mil - no brainer...but we can't agree terms with the player because he now knows he's worth more than £5 million and wants £25k.  

He's not obligated to sign - so  we can't sign him. 

I think is the JH Rover's issue.

How accurate is this calculator? I seen reports today that Fulham couldn’t get a work permit for Justin Kluivert even though he gets 20 (I think) on that calculator.

Seems odd that somebody who played 27 times in Ligue 1 on loan last year can’t get a work permit.

That's the same with every player. and has nothing to do with the clause Rovers have apparently inserted.

What wonderful owners we have, we should all be thankful for the money they're ploughing into this wonderful club of ours.

You and islander carry on inflating the prices, 24hrs to go.

[RoversClitheroe]

Really hoping Tony Mowbray brings across Ben Benson and David Lowe.

[alexanders]

It is said that while Premier League pair Everton and Fulham could yet make moves for the Blackburn Rovers star before the window slams shut, a pre-contract agreement for January isn’t out of the question. The report states Celta Vigo and OGC Nice have already made proposals, while Valencia and Villareal are also interested in a possible pre-contract deal.

And if he scores 20 goals in the Championship?

Then other clubs come in for him and he decides he doesn’t want to come here?

Again, that could happen with any transfer, and has nothing to do with the fact we have agreed a fee in advance, which is what we are discussing. 

'Yeah, but he could be abducted by aliens'

Well no it won't be like Gallagher.We couldn't go back on that deal.

If Hirst doesn't perform then we are under no obligation to keep him.We send him back.

It's only if We are happy the deal becomes permanent 

Without knowing the exact figures, if it ends up being a loan with an option to purchase I think it's a terrible deal in principle. From our perspective, he's done nowt so far, it should have been a case of buy him now for a reasonable fee or walk away.

Leicester obviously think he has a bit of potential otherwise they wouldn't be considering offering him a new deal and loaning him out.

Once he's signed a new contract, any price on the option to purchase is likely to be completely prohibitive. Almost zero chance he ends up here permanently I'd say. Either he does OK and we probably can't afford him or he doesn't and we don-t want him.

More can kicking down the road and another position that probably needs filling in 12 months time.

Lots of straw men in there. 

[Ruaney]

Predictions time:

Hirst, CM and a winger

If BBD goes - another forward.

Same guy who told me about Brereton's injury last season says the Gallagher/Brittain injuries aren't one or two weekers. Add two more incomings please Gregg!

There was a cryptic comment from Tomasson after last Saturday's match which gave me an indication that something was amiss. He said something like 'I'm not the medical team' rather than go into detail.

It looks like our skipper will play right back then.

The deal will be agreed Rev.If it's an option then Leicester can't change the terms of it mid season. 

It will be binding if this deal happens.

Another CM, with Travis filling in at RB, or another RB is needed then.

We can't use JRC at RB again, he's abysmal.
