Benjani to Blackburn

[sirpiechucker]

allardyce said in the paper he is going to give benjani a try cos he has nowhere near enuff strikers.
dont say much for roberts if hes not even given him a squad number but is taking on aman the same age as him.

Nowhere near enough strikers? Surely not that would mean that weareqpr12 is wrong?

ill look for the paper it was in and scan it up here if i can find it.
i said this the other day when i read it, sam cant think much of roberts if hes at the bare bones and still dont want him.

All the blame seems to be aimed at QPR for a delay, my reading of the situation is that Blackburn are looking for forwards but won't let Roberts sign officially until they have their cover in. I have heard from too many reliable people that the deal is done by us.

I hope you are right Kingo. But if it is just a loan I'd be surprised as don't see that there is much in it for Blackburn to loan out a 32 year old. If he isn't good enough for them now, he isn't going to be good enough in six months time.

[G.T.P]

pay him 30 bags every week or 10 or 15 bags every week?
thats whats in it for them. cos he will never kick a ball for them again, so what would anyone do?

Quite simply it gets some of his salary off the books and a loan fee for them.

We won't pay £1m plus £30k pw nor will anyone else it seems but £15k pw plus a loan fee of say £500k means a year deal will have cost us £1.25m rather than £2.5m and will save Blackburn £750k in salary and earn themselves £500k for a loan fee.

don't be a tos ser sir pie it don't suit you.

So disagreeing with you makes me a t*****?

Cut the swearing out or you'll receive points. I've edited your posts because of the unneccessary swearing.

It's rather childish to keep swearing and being abusive towards me isn't going to help your cause.

not tolerated by staff, points given.

So Benjani has officially signed for t'Rovers.

Bit of movement by all 3 parties and big Jase will be wearing the hoops pretty soon me thinks.

All good with that but it does make you wonder:
We were in the running to spend over £2mill alledgedly on "a" striker (Walters)
So if that's the budget plus say 10 bags of sand a week surely you chuck all that in the pot and our realistic targets must make up a fair list?!
We could even of signed Benjani ourselves?!?!?!

Answer - the gaffer is building a SQUAD and working to a BUDGET.
Those two words have been sadly lacking in our dealing of recent years when the waiter was left to do the food order.
Hats off to Warnock if this is the case -- no anomosity due to the fella on the peg next to you earning 3 times what you do, play for me if you want to play for me and a bit of sensabilty in the camp.

I await signing news with interest.
