ROVERS CHANCE: Striker Benjani is in training with Blackburn as the club looks to sign a striker
FORMER Manchester City striker Benjani is training with Blackburn Rovers as Sam Allardyce’s search for more fire power continues.
The Zimbabwean arrived at Brockhall yesterday and will spend the next few days bidding to earn a Rovers deal, with the club’s medical staff assessing him.
The 31-year-old striker, a January target for Rovers, is now a free agent after being released by City boss Roberto Mancini and has yet to secure a future elsewhere.
However, any potential deal between him and Rovers is not yet believed to be close with both parties taking the next few days as an opportunity to assess the situation.
Rovers’ striker search will still continue elsewhere with a strong target man believed to be top of Allardyce’s wanted list, having already secured the services of the speedy Mame Biram Diouf.
Rovers though fear their improved bid for one unnamed striker will not be a success and have turned their attentions elsewhere.

Agree with Dunc - Mr Cryer, who was the main target we look to have missed out on?

At Fulham under Hughes he'd get a game every week so i presume he'll be going there. Stranger things have happened though in Football though so i wouldnt rule it out completely.
Bellamy is dream world we cant go near his wages. I think also that alot clubs will go for Craig that be able to offer better deals than us, more likely he would follow Hughes to fulham.

I do feel he is looking for a move somewhere else and think teams like Spurs, Villa, Fulham, Sunderland etc would all want him and can offer him betetr packages. I just do not think we will end up with anybody like that and fact that we have gone full circle and got Benjami at the club who could have been training with us at the beginning of the preseason is a worry.

I think Benjani is something of a last resort. We could have had him in weeks ago! Maybe this means we have missed out on our main targets?

Still, I dont think he would be a bad signing, just not a very inspiring good signing!

It would epitomise Rovers fall from grace.
Walkers - as your last great act for the club, dip your hand in that money Jack left us and not you - and back a big signing.
