Well luckily for you then it looks like we have given up. Strong rumours are building on twitter that we are preparing a bid for Abel Hernandez at Palermo.
Am I the only one imagining Blackburn telephoning US about the deal this morning after looking at the Hernandez news?
We had Long and Elmo, now we've just got Elmo, that's definitely not enough, which probably explains why we're in for Hernandez.
George Caulkin ‏@CaulkinTheTimes Steve Bruce admits bid for Jordan Rhodes is now "dead & buried" but #hcafc still "very close" to signing another striker. #brfc
I see a local Blackburn journo was denouncing city for our pursuit of Rhodes based on our present cash rich situation and a disrespect for Blackburn Rovers. This wouldn't by any chance be the same Blackburn Rovers which went from being a third rate club trading on past glories playing in a **** heap of a ' stadium' in front of sub 7,000 crowds to premier league champions by virtue of being bankrolled by tax dodging exile ' uncle ' Jack Walker , allowing them to Hoover up any up and coming player by chucking money at them ?
Sky Breaking News........ . Steve Bruce says deal for Jordan Rhodes is dead and buried. Probably sign tomorrow then. Lol.
After lovely deals for Evans & Cairney, and serious money on offer, it's a shame Blackburn couldn't show more respect to a bigger club.
Shame that it's dead and buried, would have liked to have Rhodes here as I think he would have slotted in seamlessly. Lets hope he will sign tomorrow TigerDan!
Could be (repeat 'could be') this bloke: http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/hull-city-to-sign-uruguay-international-today
Do you think we'll honestly go back for him? I really rate him and as I said love the fact he is British and would add to our already strong core of british talent. Can only be good for cohesion and the like.
Following the death of Jack Walker, Blackburn reverted to type...A provincial club....Rhodes will be the forgotten man of football in a few years time....One of a players who's career will fade away and never to play in the top league....
