Is this the man to replace Phil Jones?

Rovers are shortly to be one man down and the search for a quality replacement will be under way.

But with agent talk in over drive has the man to fill the large 19 year old boots been found already?

The profile certainly seems to fit… Rovers need a quality, no nonsense centre half. Roger Johnsons’ current club have just been relegated and need to raise funds.

Even Johnson himself has been told he can sling his hook in due course. Look! We even have quotes and everything –

The centre half’s agent Paul Smith told the Daily Mail – ‘I’ve had a call from Birmingham to say they’d let him go. Having played every league game for two successive seasons he will be in demand. It’s just a matter of where he goes.’

So, he’s up for grabs and would be a quality addition. One stumbling block could be the price as Birmingham have told potential suitors he could cost £14 million… which is in fact insane.

Having said all that, we understand that Steve Kean is having a good, long look at Roger Johnson.
