Benny, appreciate the concern about Blackstock, but I really would rather get a reasonable fee for him now than see him leave on a free. He is replaceable, either with someone in England (CCC, FL or a reserve from the Prem League) .
I also think you underestimate Vine's scoring ability.
Vine has twice scored got into double figures for Luton at CCC level, 12 in 26 and 10 in 21(10). He also managed 7 in 31 apps when he joined QPR. If he reproduced that form again, he could get 10 or more again.
Here are his stats. I agree, not great, but considering he often plays on the wing, it isn't bad.
Agyemang is not really likely to score 10, but Helguson is and if signed, so is Connolly.
Whether these players score goals will depend on QPR's style of play and whether they stay fit.
Another note about Blackstock. If he is in the mood he scores goals, but how many did he score last season after November? His form was affected by the rumours surrounding him and his bad relationship with FB. So how he will fare in his final season? Will we see the Blackstock we saw earlier that season and parts of 2006/07 or will we see his post Ray Jones tragedy form? I suspect the latter.
