[Archived] Reidy!

[Rovermatt]

Pirlo. Arguably the best playmaker in the world, one of Milan's highest paid players, a World and European Cup winner...

Quality.

Come on guys, he wouldn't turn down the chance to play at Ewood.

[BuckyRover]

This may be a long shot, and you might argue he is more of a winger/striker, but I think Ronaldinho playing as a creative attacking midfielder behind the two strikers might be just what we need.

What do you think?

not sure mate, we could play Bentley or Gallagher in that role..and they are young and talented, Ronaldinho is getting old and is a bit overrated

[LeftWinger]

cant see it being a season long loan because we need a midfielder anyway, i think we should splash out on a quality player someone like pirlo, maniche or del assendro. or maybe someone english like reo-cocker or barton.

Pirlo and Maniche - Dreamworld

D'Allesandro - too lightweight to play in a 4 man midfield

Barton - Just signed a new deal

Reo-Coker - West Ham fans have been less than impressed with him this season

Nah he's way out of our league. I like the look of that Kaka' fella though. Sergio Aguero or Lionel Messi would be good signings but they lack experience...

[pick32]

pirlo is in a dream world bit like when west ham fans dreamin about macherano and tevez. maniche isnt a dream world we could easily sign him, barton would come for the right price. and i would personaly like to see reo-cocker at rovers.

Tevez and Mascherano are owned by some dodgy sports agency. Pirlo is not. This would also happen to be the same sports agency that was looking to buy...West Ham.

I was thinking poster age, but interesting all the same.

Tickled me that

[andyrovers]

Just heard that Reidy has a stress fracture in his back and will be out for at lest 4 months

Speedy recovery Riedy

[Radagast]

I just caught the news on Sky Sports. Damn.

[G Somerset Rover]

Two of our first names on the team sheet wiped out until Feb at the earliest. We really, really need to avoid injuries to the midfield now.

Blooming hell, Dhorosoo anyone? Get well soon Reidy!

REID RULED OUT

[SAS]

we have had terrible bad luck with the key players here with injuries

how unlucky is that, two of the strongest players

imagine if we had them playing..

[cn_barlow]

Seeing as though Reid got injured playing for Rep. of Ireland...will we get compensation for it?

[Grabbi Graeme]

In a word NO

It is a wonder that noclub has tried to claim for compensation when their player gets injured while on International duty, as in the strange world of the legal system anything is possible

Didn't the FAI pay us some cash when Duffer or somebody got injured while on International duty? Or did I just make that up?

[Grabbi Graeme]

I can't remember us ever getting anything like that, if a club successfully gets compensation that would open the floodgates for any club to claim.

Found this. Whether it was actually paid or not, I'm not sure. Was for Duffers wages while injured on International duty.

Duffer

Never mind compensation from the FAI, how about from the quack - presumably there wasn't a fracture there beforehand or it would have been seen on the 1st scan. (See the Sporting Life link above). I'm no orthopaedic surgeon but even if it was there before I presume being "pulled and twisted all over the place" isn't the best treatment for a fractured back.

[RoyRover]

I hope Reidy gets well soon, as he is one of our key players. We will certainly need to bring in someone to replace him.

[Bobby G]

Injury or suspension to Tugay or Savage and we will be left very thin in the middle with not much options other than Mokoena.

Priority must be a central midfielder for January.
