However hearing quotes of £500,000 - £1 million in costs just for two months is making me very wary, especially as it is in a position that isn't in dire need of strengthening (Bent is still a top class finisher if he gets the ball in the right areas).Listening to the manager when talking of being unable to pursue 'other' targets until the summer makes me think the signing of Keane is just an attempt at a 'cheap' morale booster to appeal to the masses. Nobody has mentioned anything like £1 million, and nobody is suggesting it's to appeal to any masses.The Daily Mirror reported on Monday in the match report of the Bristol Rovers game, that it could cost as much as £1 million. Oh well case closed then, it must be £1m.I heard from a reliable source that works at the club that it's possibly more than that with add ons and incentives. Closer to £2m. That if he does well, and post European Championships that he could sign a permanent deal at the club. McLeish sees his influence as similar to Heskey and he'd offer more as a player.

Quote from: saunders_heroes on January 10, 2012, 12:45:50 PMI don't understand why everyone's so against this deal. Yeah he's past his best but he's still good for a couple of months, and I'm positive he's a better bet on the bench than Emile Heskey would be. He's hardly gonna break the bank either. And since when have we ever believed any of the nonsense printed in the Mirror?I think it has as much to do with the fact that he'll just about have enough time to have a sh1t and a shave and he'll be back in LA before you know it.

I'm sure one of the Chuckle brothers would be cheaper.Ignore the arm waving and stupid goal celebrations and just look at his goalscoring record. Infinitely better than Heskey's (yes, not hard), and has more international goals than any English player, ever. People earlier on this thread were saying that he was lucky etc., well I'd rather have a lucky goalscorer than an permanently-unlucky Messi mk II.
Still no news of him actually signing despite them saying it was 24 hours away yesterday morning.Had the guest room been prepared for Mr cock up ?
Whilst i'm no fan of 'Mr points where he wants the ball kicking to' I was making more of a comparisson to Heskey's brand of fuckwittery.
Why not, Simon?
