[Archived] Nickos Thread

[nicko]

is there a possibilty there could be a signing today then Nicko?

I now think there will be two or possibly three arrivals before the window.

It has suddenly got very busy.

The takeover possibility is interesting, but I don't think is is affecting any transfer matters at the moment.

If they get who I think they are after the total outlay will be within available budgets - and nobody will have to go...

More details as and when.

Infor on Moussa Dembele

Hope is a promising star, i need cheering up! This transfer window is soooo boring this year.

Looked him up at youtube as well, decent left foot on him by the looks of it. And when looking up his career stats, he have only received 5 yellow cards since he became professional! 4 for his clubs, and 1 for his national team. Expect him to receive at least 5 a season if becomes a Rovers player

The chief scout was at Lille v Le Mans on Wednesday...looked at the teams and can't get many clues from that. Over to you.

Was it not that full back Calve which we was linked to a few weeks ago? failing that Romaric?

If it was a Lille player hopefuly its Makoun or Obraniak.

[EwoodGlory]

Jean Makoun, central defender at Lille. A target for Man Yoo in 2006.

If Sparky plays Football Manager, then he might be looking at him, he's a star on that

Le Tallec is on loan at Le Mans from Liverpool.

Edit: Aye, John Calve was linked from Le Mans a couple of weeks ago

[Dunnfc]

Jean Makoun, central defender at Lille.

Defensive midfielder

That would fit in well then if we was looking at Diarra who is a defensive midfielder and Makoun.

[nicko]

will they come straight in the side or are they one's for the future?

I think the players they are chasing would be first-team squad men, grown-ups.

But things are definitely moving all over the show at the moment.

[nicko]

Makoun did not play in that game...I think he is at the African Cup of Nations with Cameroon.

That's why I said the teams did not throw up any obvious names.

Certainly not many 'grown-ups' in that Le Mans team. They got 3 players at the age of 25 or over in the starting line up. The oldest one, a defender at 29, played his first game of the season. They got one other player at 23, and the rest of the starting line up is either 21 or 20! The oldest one at the bench is 26, the others are U-23. They can't be blamed for not giving the youngsters the chance

Is the Faye deal not going to happen then Nicko?

[SouthAussieRover]

Fire away Gordon.

We are awaiting...

No we are not. KEEP THIS ON TOPIC.

Rangers have ordered him back because Rovers won't make a decision.

Sounds a bit like the Bulgarian lad...

It just proves, as we all know, that Hughes doesn't rush to conlucions!

You might not be but the rest of us are.

Mr Nixon:

Will the potential refinancing package by the Liverpool owners see a major signing before the deadline?

Who is Keegan going to attract to Newcastle?

Is there any chance of us making a major signing?

I thought that refinancing package was done to be able to continue with their stadium project?

[EwoodGlory]

Yes, the new pictures of the re-designed stadium were released today, Click here to view

Apparently some of the fans aren't to happy with this one, as there is exec' boxes in the Kop

Could the Lille players be these? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3071848,00.html linked with moves to these shores a few days ago...

[1864roverite]

A minor update from wigan, they will not agree the payment terms for Koumas with either Rovers or the other club allegedly who have agreed a fee for the midfielder, it gets even more complicated as wigan have lost Landzaat to Feyenoord.

[they_think_its_all_rover]

All the players who played in Lille Vs Le Mans;

http://www.skysports.com/football/match_fa...2850774,00.html

Funny how Calve was on the bench... Le Mans shipped 3 goals, he came on and they didnt let anymore in...

[EwoodGlory]

Nicko, have you heard of any interest from Rangers for your star striker Buchanan?

Would he be a replacement for Cousin, if he leaves and if there is any interest?

I've not seen him play before, but seems to have a good goalscoring record
