I really rate this kid. Let's hope it comes off because the estimated £8 million fee banded about would be a bargain.

Absolutely.

Sorry spidey.

 

[Skullflower]

The Blackburn fans have said he doesnt want to leave the area, so that could be a huge factor. We will offer more wages than them aswell.
[/quote]You would have to question the lads judgement then if he doesn't want to leave the Blackburn area

Blackburn Rovers have rejected a transfer request from Junior Hoilett as Tottenham and Liverpool both continue to circle.

The wantaway winger was left out of Saturday's FA Cup defeat to Newcastle United with both Spurs and the Reds actively pursuing his signature during this month's window.

Steve Kean's decision to omit Hoilett is understood to centre around his submission of a written transfer request to Ewood Park chiefs on the eve of the game.

Harry Redknapp remains in the box seat to secure the 21-year-old's signature with a £7million offer as he looks to offload Niko Kranjcar.

He has spoken glowingly of the Canadian attacker despite insisting that the high-flying Spurs have not made any enquiries to the Lancashire outfit about his availability.

Liverpool, however, have been in discussions with both Blackburn and Hoilett's representatives in the previous weeks regarding the possibility of a move.

North West counterparts Bolton Wanderers have also emerged as possible contenders but are likely to be priced out of a move in addition to being one of Blackburn's relegation rivals.

Blackburn are said to be holding out for £8million to reduce their debts and strengthen their squad ahead of a testing season run-in which will determine their Premier League status.

Kean conceded last week that they are willing to listen to offers but his rejection of Hoilett's request reaffirmed prevous comments that the struggling club would be prepared to allow his current contract to tick down, running the risk of seeing him leave on a free transfer this summer,

Hoilett has been one of a few stand-out performers during Blackburn's battle for top flight survival this season with beleagured manager Kean still under intense heat from fans.

People... im in work still was twittering from Tesco Express - A bid has been pitched to BRFC okay... back later... my iPhones just melted

 

[Rosco]

I think we have to bite the bullet on anything up to about 10m on this one.

 

[spider-Neil]

I haven't seen this guy but everyone is excited by him (even ross) so I suddenly want him to join despite not seeing him play ever.

Agreed.

I've seen a bit of him. Looks the show, my only concern would be his end product.

wow, ross AND ryan rate him. expect manu to swoop in and snatch him right from under our nose.

 

[Ryan]

Oh, and 49% by the way.

 

[ElMalarkey]

Did he submit a transfer request?

Anybody know more about the Abel Hernandez rumors? I thought we'd be linked with him this transfer period, and would be a good get and possibly cheap too.

Some dude on twitter, Brodinho, reckons his dad held talks with us today, I hope he did! I really want this to happen =(

 

[Ossi]

Hope we get him...and a striker. We need to kick start the year and perhaps a couple of signings could give us a boost.

 

[keniget]

It's a little bit galling to pay 10M for a player on a free in six months.

As he's free to negotiate a pre-contract I'd just offer him a bumper signing on fee and hold on till the summer.

We'd make the money back and then some on merchandising, CL ££ etc.

Dont think you can do that with players in England until a month before the contract expires.

He'll go for about 7-8 mill I reckon. Well worth it.
