    I was about to ask you what had happened on the Rhodes front given our confirmed bid for Hooper.

    Shame, that. For me Rhodes ticks all the boxes and would have been top of my list.

    I like Rhodes too, Dont know how Blackburn are going to comply with the FFP rules. Il try and find out what strikers were in for, Could be the obvious of Odemwingie, Austin, Kone and Hooper.

    The accounts for FFP don't begin until the end of December this year, so they will be hoping they will be top of the league and looking comfortable for promotion by then. If they aren't they will sell him in January before the effects of his wages have a chance to bite.

    Could be quite a few clubs desperate to sell come January time, especially in the East Midlands. Worth noting as that will mean we can pick up some bargains. Leicester will be paying us to take Schmeichel off their hands by then!!

    £45k a week always made the Rhodes deal highly unlikely.

    There's reports in Ireland this morning, that we've made an approach for Millwall's David Forde.

    That's the one, I thought he played well, but I can't see him coming in as No.1.

    Maybe we can swap him for Jakupovic.

    If flapjack Schmeichael is worth £3M, Forde must be worth £6M as he's twice as good <ok>

    Yeah, a quick 2/3 year spell when under Duffen and Bartlett. I'm sensing envy in your posts TC. Are you getting jealous that other Clubs have money and Millwall spend the equivalent to my kid's dinner money every Season?

    I forgot that in TC's World, every Club either overspends or is 'tinpot'... <laugh>

    Can always count on you to brighten my day up <ok>

    I'm talking about paying more for players than they're worth <doh>

    Like Prostwich, Bullard, Simpson, McLean, Hunt, Olofinjana, McShane etc etc etc

    Blasphemy.

    The man was clearly worth it in the long run, he's got us £120m.

    And again, I reiterate: A quick 2/3 year spell under our moronic owners Bartlett and Duffen who thought they could give daft wages to **** players on 4 year deals with no relegation release/paycut clause.

    In case you hadn't noticed, we have new owners now. Get with the times TC, that's a good boy <ok>
