Breaking news on Sky Sports,Dickov joins,more to follow....

It shows how players look at te clubs in the Premier League,between Brum,Pompey and many other mid to lower table clubs he joined us,and i really doubt it was cause we paid him the most!

[Oklahoma]

Assuming it's true, welcome to Ewood.

Hope you score as many goals as you did last season (at least).

[damo gally]

Very pleased with that signing. I know he's no world beater, but he will give 110% and do a job for the next couple of seasons while we bring Gally through.

[SuperStella]

Let the moaning commence...

[grizfoot]

Welcome, now hes a rover he's got my full support

Welcome to The Club

[AussieinUk]

Let the moaning commence...

if this is true... bye bye yorke!!!

[Tom Pringle]

Fantastic news.

A grafter up front

[neophox]

Well done Blackburn Rovers and John Williams, he will be an asset for the club.

He'll replace Dwight Yorke who will leave.

Because he's only cost us around £200.000 I feel he's a bargain and worth a chance and we still got some money to spend. Leicester seems very dissapointed to lose him out.

Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Fulham and Birmingham were all after him but he choosed us ahead of them.

31 yeard old who can have 2 good years with us probably and fight it out with Cole, Gally and Janny for a starting place. Stead will probably be first choice.

Just don't let him shoot the penalties. lol

[T4E]

9 clubs allegedly after him, and he chose us.

Excellent news, good player and a good first signing of the summer.

[SuperStella]

Yes. hopefully Yorke will sod of to Qatar or a pub side some time soon

I am pleased with this signing. We are'nt able to go out and buy a £5m+ player anymore. For the small fee we have got him for its worth chancing.

At least he WORKS

[T4E]

Just don't let him shoot the penalties. lol

The whats?

[PABBY]

I've watched his career with interest since he gave us a mauling at Ewood when City were promoted. He ain't that bad, y'know.

Good luck to him. We need more players who are prepared to give it 100% every game.

[emerton]

better spending 200,000 or so on a prven strieker and get that out of the way so we can prioritize on the left and down back, in which i think we are doing

Welcome to Ewood.

Perhaps Yorke could learn something of Dickov, in work-rate and commitment.

As long as he gives 100% every game then I’ll support Dickov throughout his time at Rovers.

Who would be your choice of strikers up front now?

[Manchester Blue]

Fairly pleased with this one. You have to sort out the squad and hopefully that's what we've done. It looks like only £100k and won't be much on wages.

Interestingly the papers are still using the replacement for Cole angle which I hope is wrong. If Cole does leave I would hope we would replace him with a better player than Dickov. However for what we've paid I can't see how you can complain really.

[Bobby G]

LATEST-

Dickov hasnt signed anything yet,but agreed in principle.He will sign papers next week.

[Gumbi]

They've just said on sky sports news that although the deal is done, he won't actually sign until next week.

[Tango]

Another good asset for the club - I'm beginning to feel optimistic about next season!

Welcome to Ewood, Paul.

[grizfoot]

£100k that's a bargin, Yorke proberly gets paid that for 3 weeks wages so if we get rid of Yorke it's a virtually free signings. Well Done Souey, John Williams ect.

[stuwilky]

Welcome Aboard Mr Dickov.

[Blue blood]

Not the most inspiring signing but a good piece of business. There are far more important areas that need strengthening and our money so it's a pretty shrewd signing. The guy's proven, provides something different up front, and brings a bit more experience up front - fulfils all the criteria we were asking for.

It said on the BBC website that he was a replacement for Cole, in which case I would not be happy, as don't think Dickov is good enough as a replacement for Cole.

[Billy Castell]

I'm with Blue Blood on this, agood signing, providing he is replaceing Yorke or Jansen, and not Cole. Come on Andrew, stay for one more season.
