    Have no idea if The Telegraph is a good source, but Jarvis is a very useful player. The Rhodes saga continues, just wish this would end one way or another. Biggest shocker in that whole article is Steve Kean is still in charge at Blackburn, the fans were about to mutiny on trying to get him fired, they get dropped, he's caught talking crap while getting hammered at a bar, and he's still calling the shots. Keano must have video of the Venky's owners saying they prefer Foster Farms chickens to their own.

    Two very good players. I think that Rhodes is a potential 15-20 goal scorer in the Prem. Jarvis might have become a regular for England with a different manager.

    The question remains, does what Jol said about British players -- overrated/too expensive -- influence the board's actions?

    Lost out on both.

    Rhodes has just completed his deal with Blackburn for 8m.

    And, of course, Jarvis is at West Ham.

    11 million for Jarvis (even though he's a solid player) falls in the overpay for English Player Dept. Rhodes for 8 is a major gamble. I only watched him play once so impossible to get a read on him (he was a non factor that day, in League 1 playoff final), but it's better for him to ply his trade in the Championship rather than riding the pine with us.

    I feel the same as Joe. Too much money for nothing special
