    I'd rather have Assombalonga upfront than Icannaplayfootballumo.

    Le Fondre IS NOT COMING TO WATFORD.

    HE HAS BETTER OFFERS ON THE TABLE.

    The competition with Neil Mellor is also a stumbling block.

    I have a feeling someone like Leon Best will join for over a million

    Strangely i'd be delighted if that was true, he's actually improved a hell of a lot as a player and would compliment Sordell very well.

    A lamp post is too similar to big Chris (doing the lamp post a disservice).

    Best at least would move.

    Are you serious that we could realistically sign Leon Best?? He is third choice striker at Toon atm!

    "Skysports.com understands that Rotherham United have set the asking price for top marksman Adam Le Fondre at £350,000 with £50,000 additionally needed in add-ons.

    With only a year left on his current deal, and chairman Tony Stewart announcing that his thoughts on Le Fondre's market value change every day, the club have made clear they need a sufficient instalment of any offer up front and need enough time left in the window to bring in a replacement for their prolific centre forward.

    Le Fondre's outstanding form has alerted the attention of a number of Championship and League One sides including Leicester City, Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday.

    And Rotherham confirmed on Tuesday evening that a fresh offer from the Owls, reported to be worth £300,000, was turned down.

    Rotherham's chief operating officer Paul Douglas said in the Yorkshire Post: "We have had a bid (from Wednesday) and we have rejected that bid for not meeting our valuation."

    Millers chairman Tony Stewart wants Le Fondre to stay to help the club win promotion and has described a recent offer from Coventry as a 'joke'.

    Stewart said: "Coventry came in with a joke bid a fortnight or so ago but I am sure they weren't serious.

    "I got the impression it was more a case of them wanting to show their supporters that they were trying to do something.

    "Our view is that if Alf stays, we have a good chance of winning promotion. So we want him to stay.    "

    Whilst i've been told that Dyche isn't really interested in Le Fondre, for that price surely we should put a bid in.

    Only £350k?! I thought it was more than that. Whack a bid in, the guy can score goals and they want a deal done soon. More likely to accept an offer that meets their valuation sooner rather than later.

    Also, on the plus side, if we get relegated he's still playing at a higher level than Rotherham at the moment.

    at the end of the day , he is going to end up somewhere either bigger than us (ie sheff wed) or better than us (ie Ipswich or the like)

    If he has any options other than us , he would be wise to look at them........

  33. IRB

    IRB THe artist formally know as ImRonBurgundy?

    Overrated, only every scored goals in league 2, doesnt have the physicality or workrate to step up. Scores goals as a poacher with the whole team focused on providing him chances and him having no responsibilities to the team

    But surely a goal poacher is exactly what we are looking for?

    Your description of him, if accurate, makes me think we need him even more!!!

    It is a shame that Watford really aren't interested in him. I think we need to let this one go.
