I'd rather have Heskey.

This is coming from a man that plays baseball folks, ignore him!! :!:

[Kelbo]

I'd rather have Heskey.

Providing he has a quick man alongside him who is a goalscorer, we are seriously lacking pace, we must get some from somewhere!!

[LeChuck]

Fuller would be excellent.

[Hughesy]

Michael Owen anyone as a freebie?? or Saha?? lol

Can see the next few days going daft with speculation

[roverandout]

a michael owen, heskey front two, those were the days, who can forget germany 1 england 5?

[Teacup]

or Saha?? lol

If the wage was right he would likely go any where.

[dr_awol]

Rhodes would be amazing for rovers, it would also be a coup if we managed to get him. i would imagine he's destined for the prem if he where sold

[Blandy]

8 Million quid for a lad that has only been in league 1 insane...........Chelsea have just signed Merko Marin 23 years old dubbed the German Messi who has 16 German caps for 7 Million

[bluebruce]

...it seems risky but if we can't get Rhodes, Sharp or Mackie, I'd much rather we gambled on Fuller than on Cox.

The club's already fuller cox.

[Pelio]

If we can't get Rhodes, then perhaps we should be looking at Celtic's Gary Hooper. He's scored loads of goals for Scunthorpe and Celtic over the past few seasons, and he may now feel like a new challenge in England to show what he can do. Would cost less than Rhodes too I'd imagine.

Watched Fuller a few times with my mate (Stoke season ticket holder) always very tricky and could come up with the odd beaut. Can be a bit lazy though...also looks like a kebab shop owner.

[andyroversmad]

We should go for Billy Sharp proven goal scorer in the championship and would cost alot less than Rhodes.

[The Rover of Finland]

Yes for Fuller from here.

Does he? In what way?

Its a hard one too explain.

I admire the optimism.. but it is almost certainly misplaced. Your expectations of big transfers fees and top transfer targets being brought in, will only lead to disappointment.

Not sure why. If as reported/ rumoured we've bid 5M for Rhodes, then there's clearly cash there to be spent on a striker. Just saying it could be an alternative target as 4-5M could be tempting to Celtic.

Don't get me wrong, over the past 18 months or so I've 'expected' to be disappointed with the current regime so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Loan potentials from the PL: Park from Arsenal (was linked before joining Gunners), Delfounesso (4th choice at Villa), Macheda, Helguson, Bothroyd, DJ Campbell, Church, Wickham, Maynard.

[Ricky]

Bothroyd is probably the type of player we need now. He's also got experience of the Championship and scored a lot of goals for Cardiff.

[bluebruce]

Its a hard one too explain.

I can imagine it is, as I don't think I've ever met a kebab shop owner who looked remotely like him, to my recollection.

Nice ideas but most of them are too good (or big in terms of rep) to come to us in the Championship.

[Ricky]

Jay Bothroyd

Kebab Shop owner

[bradJG]

Which one is Jay?

[pick32]

If he looks like a kebab shop owner the. Xavi looks like a waiter

I doubt he would leave the Champions League for the Championship and apparently he has already knocked back Southampton...really good player though.

I would take Delfouneso.....Park was rated in South Korea so perhaps.....Macheda absolutely never......and would take the rest although I don't know much about Church, the Reading striker so maybe/maybe not.
