damo,

are you just trying to show off that you subscribe to the times online?

I think I will wait for someone to post the article on here thanks, rather than pay to read it.

I didn't pay to read Damo's link?

[Manchester Blue]

Yeah that's the article I read Damo. Not sure what you mean about subscribing The Gull as I'm not subscribed and I can read it. Not sure anyone can paste it due to copyright laws though.

[damo gally]

Didnt pay to read it either.

With an on-form confident striker options in Jansen, Stead, Dickov, Gallagher & Bothroyd, we have good options and variety.

Pffft and here Schmeichel was saying on MOTD that our main position we need reinforcements is up-front.

I'm beginning to think that when talking about football, nobody knows what they are talking about........

Best thing is that we have a price agreed ALREADY, always the best option when taking a player on loan otherwise they come in, do well and then the selling club puts the price up.

Very Impressed with Jay at the weekend.

Hopefully he will get a chance against Bournemouth

It's definitely a very good move to agree a price. However, given he's from a not-particularly-wealthy club, and wasn't a first choice player there, I was surprised we agreed on £2m. I'm sure we could have got him for 500-750k less, which is a hefty amount when you're as short of transfer cash as Rovers. £2m may still turn out to be a bargain, but still not as good a bargain as we might have got.

Actually I was thinking the same last night (sad i know!) ..£2 million?!?

Hopefully that is the most that the club could sell at, rather than the actual price...

besides.... Ghaddafi (sp?) doesn't need the money..
