[Archived] Summer Transfer Window

[youandwhosearmy]

Its it about time there was a new transfer thread to discuss rumours, comings and going etc

anywho

lots of clubs seem to be taking a shine to Roberts, not the best source, but theres a few rumours from different directions

Roberts for La Liga?

[speeeeeeedie]

Rovers only?

I have a non Rover one regarding Thierry Henry. Apparently he's not for sale, for the third summer running. Henry's staying as usual. Is the media really that lazy? I'll wait for the Benni to wherever, MGP to Spurs/Man U, and all those dodgy foreigners supposed to be coming to Ewood. With no World Cup or Euro Champs to keep people entertained this could be a very long break.

Francis Jeffers is back at Ewood,but the Ipswich manager wants to make him his top target in their spending.

He's rreally impressed at at Ipswich.I'm sure if the price is right ,then Rovers will let him go.

Mods/admin have just discussed this and are in favour of having the same lay out as the last transfer window.

So we will make this topic the one for general transfer talk and will pin one for links only.

Has anyone heard much of this Freddy Adu bloke? Maybe we should sign him :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Is this champ manager?

but seriously, i dunno, not seen or heard much of him since he nearly joined Man U

[American]

I'd love to see Jan's favorite Rover, Todd go to Rangers.... (see link in other thread).

A Shefki Kuqiesque deal would suit me just fine

Also, life is worth living again, the transfer rumour thread is back

[Bazzanotsogreat]

Id like to see in either a pacy forward: Bellamy, cisse or palacio ( boca looked goo in the world cup & libertadores or strong/ target man type with a decent touch i.e asthon. Also a replacement for tugay.Ive always liked snejder but probably too much £ for us

Players out

Enks

Henchoz

Gray

Jeffers

Todd

Sonic wont be going anywhere because he has just signed a new contract

[ihateburnley]

One could argue that it's a bit pointless having two threads for football transfers. I understand that people don't want to trawl through transfer 'gossip' but to be fair half of the links that will get put on the other thread are just as reliable as say, my granny.

Just my opinion. Go easy on the beating.

[American]

But the other is only links, this one is discussion. Don't you remember when we were getting 5 pages a day of people arguing about the players being linked? If you don't, just give it a month or 2. It's hard to trawl through all of that when you are in a hurry and just want to see what the latest rumors are.

Still dont you think weve got enough cover in that spot .. btw i was aware that he signed an extension

Bizarrely, he moved to Real Salt Lake instead.

By the way, who is 'Sonic'?

Sorry, Sonic the Henchoz :ph34r:

Sorry, Sonic the Henchoz :ph34r:

thats terrible...

Henchoz will stay, Todd will go as him and Sparky clearly aren't seeing eye to eye. THat will give us Nelsen, Samba, Henchoz, Zurab, Ooijer to choose from at the back- a very healthy lineup.

As for who we should sign: I would basically look to bring in Bellamy. Apart from him I just can't think of anyone who a) would improve our first XI we mightbe able to afford and c) might actually want to come to Rovers.

However, Sparky seems to have a very good scouting network and a very good ability/method to assess players so i am sure he will suprise us. Ooijer, Nelsen, Mokoena and Roberts all turned up without much forewarning if i remember correctly.

[Mr. E]

I just want our injured players back. Noone new - except for backup maybe. If we can stick to pretty much the same team we will make a big step forward as we'll have become a very solid team.

The other transfer thread is perfect for people who don't have time to trawl through all the opinions. They can look and check the links quickly.

Ah summer! The utter boredom of life without football for three agonising months; endless pointless rumours; several pages per day of mostly arguements and opinions and picking on the latest hack who makes the transfer rumour thread his own personal soap box. Don't you just love it?

Think I will be sticking to the "links only" thread this time around (a good idea that). Life's too short otherwise.

B..B...But... theres DRAMA to be had

[benhben]

Koumas - Tugay Replacement. Leighton Baines - Left Back competition (Cheap when wigan go down).

Haven't we got two dedicated left backs already who we only signed 4four months ago? I thought a right back if anyone apart from a striker.

[Billy Castell]

Not sure about Koumas either. Great at Championship level, but hasn't done anything when at the Premiership.

Not a rovers transfer rumour but affects tomorrow's opponents

Why?.... He aint even that good, good for warming the bench next season

[youandwhosearmy]

it baffles me that Chelsea would want him

he has newcastle player written all over him in my opinion
