If I was in the bottom six of the Prem he's exactly the sort of player I'd be looking at chucking 5 million at. West Brom paid £10m for a striker their manager had never seen play!

:lol:
This is a player who may have hit a bit of form in the last two months but was utter gash for the two years prior to that.
And has about six months left on his contract.
With a colourful injury history.
Oh, and is unavailable to play til February.
Plus Gartside's stubborn refusal to accept anything but rock bottom prices for our players.

Yup. The most we can expect is 1 to 1.5 mill tops! He ain't no Cahill! We got lucky as it was Chelsea buying him.

We don't need to pray for him. He already exists!!

Can any twitterers on here start a few rumours? Before you know it old twitchy face would have the window wound down and telling us all how Chungy was a top top player and worth every penny of the £8 million he's just paid :)

Some right, some wrong, here.
Chung, I think, had a decent record on injuries before his leg-break. Clearly the problem was psychological and Lennon seems to have sorted that (by some magic process Freedman never came near to figuring out). I think a run of performances which have regularly had fans of other clubs single him out goes beyond 'a bit of form'. He's been back to the exceptional player he was pre-injury (barring notching the occasional goal).
In the 'right' column, I'd say we'd be lucky to get £2m for him if he refuses to sign a contract extension.

it would seem likely, if a little boring, that it's someone who has already been heavily trailed... is this a loan or a purchase - presumably the former?

LOV says there is a rumour of Wheater rejoining Boro - this could be his potential (much cheaper) replacement.

Barcelona were apparently looking at him in 2010, looks to be more of a winger than a centre forward

Serbian winger, I'll reserve judgement till I see him play next week against Leeds.

However as is the norm now with Lennon this has certainly whet my appetite
Pfffft.
