    Has a history with knee injuries, hope he comes back stronger. £3 million for him looks even better now

    Celtic were in for him, looks like we dodged a bullet too!!!

    Decent player whenever I've seen him, unlucky not to get more first team games but will never outplace Ba or Cisse for you.

    Was better for us than some people gave him credit for. Wasn't frightened to put his head down for the ball and almost got it kicked off a time or two. Bumped into him once in Gateshead and he seemed like a real friendly chap off the field too.

    This, people can cite his goals to games record, but when Ba was scoring, it was Best doing the dogs work, much like Ba was when Cisse was finding the net!

    I was sad to see him go as i thought he was a great back-up and someone we knew could come in and do a good job when required. When Carroll left there were questions over how we would do and Best stepped up admirably.

    However, the way some people are commenting you'd think he was dead! Hopefully he'll be back before the end of the season and perhaps be able to help Rovers push for promotion after easter.

    He's not young anymore and hasn't had a full, injury free season in years - some careers never recover (my tip - switch to Kieron Dyer's agent!)

    For the record I think Best is a very decent striker and very under rated.

    Having said that though I completely agree that we've got a great deal here, tripled the money we paid for him and hes never fit more than a few games at a time.

    Good business again from the men up top.
