We've been watching him for a year. I imagine the last couple of games are down to head turned and wanting to be out of the sinking ship that is Blackburn. We've hardly put a foot wrong in the last year or so on transfer so imagine the club has done its due diligence.
Fair play. None taken! For what it's worth I agree with you. It's a lot of money for someone who in my eyes is 3rd choice. Can only assume that CH sees him as having more chance of stepping up if we get promoted.
So now it's just any number of teams from the bottom half. No concrete interest at all then and we're signing a player on a whim that one of those clubs might come calling. Ok. Put your money where you mouth is Tubby-McFat-Fuc.
And we're back to where we are now if we sell Dunk. Last season shows you need 4 quality CBs over the course of the season. We now will do. Just need a striker and it'll be the best squad we have ever had at this club.
Ireland is a world away from those international sides though. He's got a lot of championship experience and around £4m seems reasonable for a player at 24. Blackett couldn't even get in to the Celtic side.
