Teamtalk....

Blackburn boss Graeme Souness has reiterated he will not pay over the odds to reunite Dwight Yorke with Andy Cole at Ewood Park.
Souness has made the former Trinidad and Tobago hitman his number one target in the transfer market this summer as he seeks to bolster his squad.

He made an enquiry over Yorke's availability at the end of the season but baulked at United's valuation of the player, believed to be in the region of £6million.

But Yorke remains on Souness's wanted list even though United do not appear to have lowered their asking price.

"I would like to bring Dwight Yorke here if we could afford to do the deal," said Souness.
"But right now the asking price is beyond our valuation given that he's entering the last year of his contract."

Rovers are believed to be willing to pay a maximum of £4.5million for the striker, who cost United £12.6million when they signed him from Aston Villa four years ago, but unless Sir Alex Ferguson lowers the fee, the proposed deal looks unlikely to go ahead.

£4.5million for Yorke ? In a heartbeat. Why hasn't this been done yet. I hope we're not holding out for £6m. <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />

The key word is "believed" Raoul. Its probably like 2.5 Million or something.

I say we should sell Yorkie + a couple of joints for 5 million.....not a joint less. ;)
 
He's turned into a standing joke lately. I say take what we can get for him - don't let him sit his contract out and walk for nothing... surely the PLC will think likewise?

4.5m is a good enough deal IMO. We should get rid of him as quick as possible.

What if he doesn't want to go though?

Agreed. We'll end up getting nowt at this rate.

And if he doesn't want to go, why would anyone want him? He should be desperate to play regular games, not be totally invisible for the rest of his career. If that's how he is, no-one would want to bother with him anyway.

Now come on guys! Dwight is a good player and am I only the one who wishes we keep him. I think he is better than Solskjær and Forlan and if he got his chance, he will prove his worth but I admit his attitude needs to change. He will be lucky if he gets another club but I hope he stays with us.

Dwight Yorke could be the best striker in europe if he wants to.

He just doesn't have the charachter to want and go for something like this.

Out, and as soon as possible.

I don´t wish we keep him until he apologieses to SAF and gives the man the respect he deserwes but I think he´s done a good job for us and until he´s not a United-player anymore I will love him just as much as I love every other member of Manchester United

True, and furthermore...I've nothing against a player who tries and doesn't make the cut. But Yorke has truly let himself and his teammates down over the past couple of years. Out - the sooner the better.

You are the only one that wants to keep him. Hes had 1½ seasons to get his finger out and fight his way back. How can you say hes better than our most loyal layer Solskjaer? Your no better than Fat Larry from back home if you dont put in the effort. Id give up hoping, Fergie's never going to let him near the first team, he'd sooner see him him continue to rot away even lower than the reserves.

I believe in the end Yorke will be going nowhere and will just sit out his contract. It wouldn't surprise me if he refused to budge even if Blackburn and Utd agreed a fee for him.
 
Yorke on form and motivated was one of the best strikers in Europe, and SAF thought so too, but the problem is, he went to sleep on the football front to be awake in persuit of other things. Namely large breasts.

Great thing to be awake for though! ;)

Same here, i can see him seeing out his contract but Fergie will continue to make an example of him.

I doubt he will care either way as he will be pocketing 25,000 GBP every week.

Consider it a sunk cost.

If Blackburn wont pay the asking price United should tell them to feck off.This was the club that wouldn`t sell United Shearer.Blackburn got a good deal on Cole and should cough up for Yorke.What is Blackburns price for Duff.
 
The way things have gone, I can't see him moving unless someone is ready to pay higher wages. That won't happen and, even if it did he might still prefer to "stay". He has a deal we would all die for: do feck all and get ~100K a month to go and splash on drinks and ladies.

Not bad! :eek:

I've always liked Yorke and I'd like to see things turn around for him at MU.

The only thing id like to see turn around on him is one of them cranes with the swinging balls of lead.
