Anyone think we should try to sign that David Dunn lad from Birmingham? I heard he used to play for us a long time ago.

Just out of interest - How does this compare to Racism? When I had questioned whether it was any worse to use a racist insult than call someone fat the arguments were: 1) You can't choose your race 2) Black people suffered years of prejudice Isn't this the same as women? So surely sexism is just as bad as racism - yet it's fine to make sexist jokes on here? I wish someone would print me a set of politically correct rules lol!

Is Reidy not due back early next year anyway? With Sav, Reid, Toogs and Dunny - sure we could patch up at least two players to put out every week.

I like Jordan too! Very good business man - and seems to have a hatred of Big Club.

I'm personally all for standing at football matches. I know when I went to watch England - Portugal in the summer, a German guy I was sat next to said that Schalke usually had standing areas - which could be converted to seating. If they can have standing sections in Germany - why not here? This would also stop kids/older people from being forced to stand or missing the game. The atmosphere would be a lot better too!

There is no-one who would pay 4m for Dunn. An injury prone player with 6 months of his contract left. I'd personally not like to see us pay more than 1.5m, but or relationship with Big Club probably means they'll try and screw us for at least 2m. I think it's a gamble worth taking - Prodigal son and all that - bring a few fans back IMO.

Newells comments were outrageous and sexist. I'm all for women officials - as long as they competent at their job and have a nice wrack

I agree with every word he's said. Women get fast-tracked to the top. I've a mate who's a referee (shameful admission), and he when they had to do a fitness test - there was a girl who failed it comfortably - but they let her through as she was a woman.

Merchandising: With Beckham on board our world-wide shirt sales would rocket IMO. There would be kids all over the world in Rovers tops - Beckham would bring his own band of supporters. Glory Hunters: We're constantly moaning that we don't get big enough attendancies - and yet you wouldn't "relish" the prospect of an extra 5-8k on the gate (which is what would happen). I don't care if they've never been to a Rovers match in their lives - if it fills the ground up a bit, it will improve the atmosphere, improve performances and make us extra money on the gate. Becks would have to drop his wage demands a bit, I admit this, but he's loaded - and the big factors for him now are getting back in the England squad and keeping the Beckham brand going. As for Rooney, Lampard, Ronaldinho - these would command huge transfer fees - unlike Becks who is 31 and contract up at the end of the season. I'm not having a go Wolverine - just offering an opinion matey

I think everyones missing the point - He'd be a great back up for Bentley

I'm sure the club will find the £2 they're missing out on somehow

Leeds are apparantly in for him too - that could be interesting. http://msnsport.skysports.com/list.aspx?hl...ester+-+Le+Tiss Le Tiss has us to get a draw on Saturday.

I bet you've not had many girls stick pictures of current Rovers stars on their exercise books have you? He's a huge name and would do our reputation no end of good!

Think about it! I'm not going to repeat what others have said - but wages would not be the stumbling block.

I think Becks will want to go somewhere that he is guaranteed first team football. He's still just short of 100 England Caps - and if he plays regularly I'm sure he'd get back in.

Was it Glenn Roeder?

So its not just the women who want him for his body

The times article also quotes Hughes as saying "He could be the right player at the wrong time" It also goes on to suggest what Beckham would be swapping in the move including the line -"He would improve his chances of winning a trophy" My girlfriend was also go - as I think everyones would!

I don't think its as outrageous as people are making out. He would be a fantastic signing as a central midfielder. Not only would he add AT LEAST 5k to the gate, he'd boost Rovers worldwide profile - and we'd get a lot more coverage in the press. Advantages for Becks: Huge Fish in a small Pond - he'd be THE star again - unlike at Madrid. Guaranteed First Team Football - which he wouldn't be guaranteed at the Big Clubs Close to Manchester - Can you see Posh living in Newcastle? Sparky - Chance to play for one of his heroes I think its unlikely - but a nice thought anyway.

Many more injuries and I'll be on the bench!

No offence but there is a world of difference between scoring against Chorley and Bamber Bridge than against Manchester United and Chelseas first team.

Matteo, Gray and Mokoena in Murder Mystery! GET HER IN NOW!

That could offend a few of the more touchy folk on here

I'd prefer us to sign Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote!

Yeah I noticed that - it sounds impressive till you look at who he's scored against.
