It took me a while to realise this isn't the big strapping lad we've got who is of course Keith Barker. D'oh!

No worries yoda, just attach some 'roo bars to the players, that should sort it.

You make it sound like he's off to climb the North face of Mount Eiger. Going off to play for West Ham is hardly a radically different challenge. Fair play to him, I don't hold any grudges but I find it hard to believe he's not gone there for the cash, when: a) He's left for a team worse off than we are, and no guarantee of bettering, only they just had bundles of cash He turned down Liverpool's offer of £30k/week c) He's getting £60k/week at West Ham. Now, I may be doing him a disservice, but the idea that he just went for the dough did pop into my mind. Anyways, I'm not that fussed. Good luck Lucas and thanks for all the hard work and karate tackles.

Bloody hell I'm away for a few days and there's an extra 24 pages. S0d reading that. How do we all feel about the lack of insider info from Brownie now? Good luck Lucas. Shame it came down to this, I think in hindsight the club would've liked to have got rid of you earlier.

Could've been flan.

You said "flake" when you meant "flame". A "flake" is a chocolate bar.

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Poor old Brucey! Happy days indeed.v

Wiggy was talking about trying to get Jansen back to being his old self again (I think).

I think it's worth the £1m just to pi55 Big Sam off.

Oh no, it's that 'orrible bully. Run for cover lads! (Think it's only in the 'paper and not online at the minute ...)

I'm guessing it will be: £750k and a penny initial fee with the following to be sent to Birmingham dependant upon appearances: - 22 green Bukta tracksuits, slightly worn - A dozen rolls of barbed wire to keep the zulu's off the pitch - A selection of classic bongo books and films to keep David, David and Karren happy - Some unsold Graeme Souness books - "Souness - the Management Years" That should swing it.

You can't teach that sort of thing. You're born with that sort of touch and awareness.

Ian Wright was still playing non-league at the age of 21 I think. Den, you seem to have a fixation for this. I don't think you're saying anything new. But then again, probably no-one else is either.

Speedy Reidy's my favourite player. I'm absolutely gutted for him. Recover well, Stevie. let's see you back fit and well next season. Have faith mate.

Well, if he can't choose between Bolton and rovers he only need come on here and see this thread to convince him to sign ... for Bolton!

That was my first thought. £1m for someone who plays a third fo a season ... hmmm ... Although I did panic when Jim said the Great Harwood wonder was going to Bolton for £1m. thought it was Derbyshire.

Should Dunny come home? Of course he should. His tea's still waiting on the stove and his Mum and Dad are getting worried about him. He's never stayed out this late before.

Give them all MBE's! Playing for Rovers makes you a legend? Flipping Nora, does that make Ashley Wide a legend then? Maybe even a hero?

hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It's not desperate for us to get him back, so I'd tell them where to stick that offer. For an opening gambit in a haggle, that takes the pee a little. No way will anyone pay 2 mill for a player who plays 1 game in 3, it's ridiculous.

Presumably Howie Gayle is still a youth team coach in Toxteth? How about Jim Branagan? Or Simon Barker? Ian Miller?

Who's teh one who used to play at the back with Hill? Had a load of blonde hair, think he went to Plymouth. Oh, I might be thinking of Craig Skinner. Think we had another centre back coming through at the same time though. How about bovver boots Andy Morrison? He went to Man City ...

OK, den, OK. You're at risk of going in for overkill here. He may be good, he may be bad. But he is an exciting *prospect* ... £20k for a player with raw pace (uncontestable) who would *appear* to have a knack for getting into the right place isn't bad at all.

He's only 20, he has a bit more time to develop. In any case, not a bad option for a club like us to have.

He's been an unpleasant surprise?
