Lots of talk on the Bearpit facebook site that Jason Roberts could be the mystery man who has had a medical and will hopefully sign today.
Anybody heard anything ?

Which "mystery man who has had a medical and will hopefully sign today" would that be?
Hope not. He'd only be cheap, but 33 in a few months and not a step forward in any way

What medical?
Have I missed it?
Roberts would be a decent option as a like for like Beattie out/Roberts in swap.

Someone reckons they've been down training and a black bloke was moaning about having been through a 4 day medical and is sick of commuting from doncaster. He wants a decision today.

I think Roberts would be ok as backup to Fuller and Mama to be honest. Roberts was top quality a few years ago and I remember him giving teams problems last season.

No problems with Roberts in the squad.
seemed decent when i saw him last season and i will never forget when he ripped us a new arse for Bristol Rovers at the Brit.

Roberts usually causes us a few problems when we have played against him and he sure as heck offers more of a goal threat than Mama.
Any attacking additions would be most welcome at the moment.

Seems strange that Roberts would live in Doncaster?
That's miles away from Blackburn, and he's never played for a team in that area, has he?
There's rumours that he's available for £1m, but it'd still be a retrogade step. IMO.
At his peak, maybe even 2-3 years ago, he was right up Pulis' street, but he'd have to be at least an E or F-lister this summer

He didn't appear in either of Blackburn's games over the weekend (against Hearts or Celtic)...

could be a part ex deal for Beattie, or even tuncay

Maybe the player doesn't live in Doncaster ?
Lord knows but let's hope somebody signs soon to play alongside Mama on saturday.

This signing would depress the hell out of me www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11676_6302526,00.html Meanwhile, more uncertainty has been cast over striker Jason Roberts' future with Rovers after he was left at home for the club's weekend trip to Scotland.
And Allardyce has reiterated that Roberts is available, confirming he would be open to a bid for the forward.
"I think everyone knows by now we would listen to an offer for Jason," added Allardyce.
"I felt leaving him behind rather than playing him and risking an injury would be the best bet this weekend."

19 goals for Blackburn since 2006. Yeah, he's the ideal solution to our scoring problems! ...Who next, Dwight Yorke?

He's the type who'd 'do a job' for a season, even at nearly 33, and there are worse strikers knocking around.
But it really would reveal that we're in barrel-scraping territory, and that's what'd be the depressing thing.

19 goals in only 54 starts. Better than what we have.

A direct swap for BT would be OK, or maybe Roberts + cash for BT! Think he is a better player than Mama, at least a bigger goal threat! Pity this didn't happen a couple of years ago though!

I'd be quite happy with Roberts in the squad, a decent player at this level.
