iggy Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Blackburn are in need of a new striker since Bellamys departure but this is surely scraping the barrel!!!! From SSN Rovers seal Jeffers move By Graeme Bailey - Created on 3 Jul 2006 Blackburn have completed the signing of Francis Jeffers. The 25-year-old, who has one England cap to his name, has penned a two-year deal at Ewood Park with an option for a third. Jeffers has been looking for a new club since being released by Charlton at the end of the season, following a less than successful spell in South London. The Liverpool-born star is now hoping a move back to the North West will kick-start his career. "I spoke to a number of clubs but once I spoke to Mark [Hughes, manager] my mind was made up as to where I would go," he told the club's website. "I've had a difficult couple of years but I've no doubt that I can do it given a fair crack of the whip here I'm sure I can get back to my best and take this club forward." Jeffers is Blackburn's second signing of the summer following Jason Brown's arrival from Gillingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Then some fans will probably question why Moyes didnt get him back, even though most fans didnt want him back anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I like Jugs...................... 35363[/snapback] That is strangely hypnotic, and a bit arousing. Quite pleased that Franny has got a second crack of the whip though, and even more pleased it is not with us. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Blackburn have signed Jason Roberts now aswell, they replaced a good striker with two average strikers at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I rate jason roberts, if they can get another striker to complement him then i think thats a good partnership, jeffers isnt a bad squad player for a team like blackburn, i think mark hughes mite get a bit out of him to be honest.

Couldnt care really, if he scores 15 goals this season and AJ scores 14 how many idiot will be saying, you know what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
