JAL Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I can understand that every football supporter talks about well known named players potentially joining their club especially in this forum but for me todays Rovers should be looking at the unknown stars of tomorrow not yesterdays hero. If Hughes thinks he and his team are of the highest calibre then thats were their focus should be, if they have people out there being proactive watching the millions of young footballers they should not be dreaming of an invite to manage Newcastle United. If the young talent isnt being identified and coming through questions MUST BE ASKED to why not they are all paid extremely good money. Saying its getting harder isnt an excuse they must pull their finger out collectively and make it happen

Dave S Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I'll chip in 50 quid for wages... Chesh can pay the rest I seem to remember that Owen is supposed to be on £100,000 - £120,000 per week So I'll look for loose change down the back of the sofa.
1864roverite Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 The Faye transfer is dead in the water. Red tape scuppers the deal as he has played for 2 clubs this season. It is no use appealing the deal for a loan, an appeal is only acceptable if the deal is to be a permanent deal.
Iceman Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I would love to see us snap up steven pienaar on a permanent basis at the end of the season.maybe get him ahead of everton.also why did we not try and get sidwell on loan.if sunderland were in the mix,surely he would have jumped at the chance to play for us instead.Gilberto would be another good loan signing,but whether he would come to us is another story.but we need to show more ambition.
brian_gallagher85 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Pienaar from Iccers...why am I not suprised? Is the Faye think officialy over then, it's just that the FAI won an appeal over this for the Eircom league a week back !
benhben Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Amdy Faye.......On loan from charlton at rangers. Cant get a game. Nuff Said. Sidwell available on loan...What are we doing?? Are we blind? Come on Sparky, we know you can spot a bargain but its not in the form of Amdy Faye (Mokoena clone).
USRoverME Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 umm, except for the fact that other locations have noted that Chelsea have said that he's not really available for loan.

It is no use appealing the deal for a loan, an appeal is only acceptable if the deal is to be a permanent deal. I'm not saying he's correct but nicko said this on the situation earlier. FAYE - nice to see the LET following up...the claim that he can't join because he has already played for two clubs does not stand up...Jon Stead among others proved that wrong last season. Mind you, there could be another snag before he arrives.
Ricky Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Surely he can play for more than 2 clubs but just not be owned by more than 2 clubs. Lots of players go on loan to more than one club in a season.
Iceman Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Pienaar from Iccers...why am I not suprised? Is the Faye think officialy over then, it's just that the FAI won an appeal over this for the Eircom league a week back ! lol hey Brian..Howzit going buddy? Hey Pienaar is my home boy... lol
brian_gallagher85 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Going great....you still a married man then? Inwood is going over to Capetown next month, he wants to know if you want to meet him?
Iceman Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 lol,yeah im still married.Yeah i know Paul coming to South Africa,so will find out when he will be here..maybe we can hook up.when u coming Brian?
brian_gallagher85 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 When are you lot hosting the World Cup after 2010...we may have qualified by then!
Iceman Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 lmao.... it might be when England qualify,which is not anytime soon..maybe in 40 years time.
Hughesy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 We should move for Sidwell. Not impressed with us being linked with Faye. He is poor!
gazsimm Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Sidwell would be a great signing for us i just hope Hughes gets in there quick before another club get him
Mr. E Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I am beginning to support this signing too. Let's get him.
LeChuck Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 He's probably the one player we could sign who ticks all the boxes of what we require from a new central midfield player, but I just get the feeling that either Hughes isn't that keen or the board aren't willing to back him on this one. Either is a huge misjudgement. The article mentions Everton and Portsmouth as the other potential clubs interested. I can't see it being Everton as they've just re-signed Manuel Fernandes. Portsmouth will probably be interested, but I'm sure they'd prefer a loan move as the primary motive would be cover for their African players away on duty at the moment.

Portsmouth just signed Diarra.. so the road is clear
Eddie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Really? I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere. Sidwell and Diarra would both do a very good job for us. If we don't sign one of them then we really only have ourselves to blame.
modes98 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Really? I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere. Diarra Agrees Pompey Deal
John Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Bit annoyed about Diarra, as he is pure quality and just what we need. I guess wages could have been a problem. It looks like we are interested in Koumas for around £3.5 million. After thinking about it a bit more, it could be a good signing for us. No one knows him better than Hughes and the coaching staff, so I will back their judgement on that one, as they have not been wrong too many times in the past. He certainly is a very talented player, who is very creative. However, considering his age, he is still a bit raw. I am sure Hughes can improve him.
Eddie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Diarra for 5 or Koumas for 3.5....who would you choose?
