Premier League Blackburn Rovers
comment on the article

Source:: The Guardian

DUBAI-- Following earlier reports of Manchester City Boss Mark Hughes meeting with the clubs new owners in Dubai, it's now emerged that the Eastland's club are targeting Blackburn Rover's Jack Walker.

Hughes is believed to have told Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, the face of City's ownership that he wanted "Blackburns Santa Cruz, 19 million"

Unfortunately for Hughes, City have not yet upgraded their translators to World Class status, leaving the translation literately as

"I want Blackburn's Santa Clause from 1995"

A formal offer has been placed to the club and John Williams is believed to be going over the fine print to see whether the Jack Walker Statue and Jack Walker Stand are included in teh final price.
