Hall Says No To Heskey

Rovers Manager Steve Hall confirmed today that Emile Heskey would not be coming to Rovers after Heskey was dramatically placed on stand-by for the England soccer team. "We'd thought about putting a bid for Heskey as on his current form he'd fit in well at Rovers" said Hall "but obviously because he has scored five goals this season for relegated Birmingham, he's now suddenly in the frame to help England win the World Cup". Hall went on to say that Rovers were in any event focussed on developing local talent rather than buying in a big name from overseas. "All managers would like the money to buy a Crouch but on our budget we have to settle for a Hussey" bemoaned Hall.
