  1. 1. Have your say on the summer transfer window.

    • Should have had more cash to spend. Almost everyone else did.

City linked with Nery Castillo. A bit depressing really, as we are so much better than City, but cannot compete financially. I'd love for Sparky to try though. For those who didn't watch Copa America, Castillo was immense for Mexico and scored some great goals, especially the one against the winners of the tournament, Brazil. Sky cites him as a midfielder, but he played as a forward for Mexico, I'm thinking Sky got this one wrong. Not a big name, but an immense prospect with almost unlimited potential.

Mido set for 'Big Club'

Mido

Egyptian star striker Ahmed Hossam "Mido" is set to join Birmingham city on loan starting from next season, according to the player himself.

"Both sides have agreed terms. I will move on a one-year-loan deal to Birmingham worth 1 million and at the end they could by my contract for 5 million if the club survives in the Premier League," said Mido to FilGoal.com.

"Birmingham's offer is the best I had received especially that I chose to stay in England," added Mido.

The 24-year-old striker also confirmed Birmingham's interest in his fellow teammate Hossam Ghaly but said his case is different as he will move on a permanent base.

"I would love to have him (Ghaly) with me in the same team."

Mido confirmed that the contracts should be signed on Monday night or maximum Tuesday morning

One word, Borgetti. All time leading scorer in Mexico, did nowt here.

The Mido to Brum story has me even more miffed about his snub of Rovers last summer. Who decides that a UEFA Cup side is not worth going to, but that a newly promoted one (with a crap manager, might I add) is?

All in all it worked out because we got McCarthy; I certainly wouldn't want Mido here at this point, but it is somewhat exasperating watching this happen. I guess it's as philip said: they deserve each other.

Defoe would be too much. Stupid London prices. Besides if we're looking for a target man he hardly fit's the bill.

Its such a shame though that good players like Defoe - SWP etc just let their careers pass them by. Everyone knows that Defoe will propbably get a run out in the Carling cup for spuds and SWP probably the same. Why these players dont request transfers is beyond me.

they are not doing their England careers any good as well sitting on the subs bench nearly every week

have we not already got a target man in Roberts though?

Not for me, no. I think Roberts strength is getting the ball down and running at people. I wouldn't say he was anything special in the air. Probably a bit harsh, I think he's a good player and we should keep him.

What the deuce would he want to go to that den of iniquity for? :blink:

Could be that ol Big Club are in the process of getting a new owner (who has just bought the majority of shares from the porno boys), so money, as always, could be the motivation?!

Two years ago at Ewood Roberts had the beating of Nelsen in the air, ISTR. No mean feat.
