For those of you that don't read Norwegian. Here is a short summary of the situation:

Bullard tackles Baird.

Baird feels it was a rought tackle, and gets angry.

Bullard just laughs it of.

Baird gets even angier and punches Bullard

Nicko, Reid pulling out of the Ireland side... just another "international" injury, right? Always worry when I see his name and injury side by side.

As worried as I was when I saw something like this scrolling across the bottom of the screen on skysports news today, after seeing 'injured for six weeks' scrolling at the tail end of another one?:

'England winger David...'

Fortunately, it was just a rugby winger who had the injury!

As the Sunday People is somewhat chaotic this morning - production problems they tell me - the Rovers transfer tale is not in my edition and may not be in others.

So, as promised.

Nelson Cuevas - Paraguayan striker and pal of Roque's - is close to signing a pre-contract with Rovers for NEXT season.

Cuevas, who was an international regular, has been out of football for a few months with an injury and trained with Portsmouth and Nuremburg recently. I believe he was to come to Blackburn on a similar basis, but the plan changed and he is now back home and playing on a six-month contract with a club called Gumarelo.

I checked last week and Cuevas is telling people - including other clubs - that he is coming to Blackburn once he proves he is fit.

I believe this is the guy I heard was 'in the pipeline' - although there could be another but I don't know.

Cuevas was a sharp and lively striker, but a bit lightweight. However I can see the point in signing him if he is fit. He's a free, he would keep Roque happy. So watch this space.

The Burnley-Argie 'on-off' transfer tale is in...but you will have to dig that one out yourselves.

I spoke to some of my friends who are huge club america fans about this Cuevas fellow and they spoke very highly of him so good news for us as long as he can get healthy. My question is, wheres that gonna leave derbs and benni mac?

Cheers for that...let me know how he does when the Paraguayan season starts. I think the move will come down to whether he is fit or not. Ta.

..........it was Nevland's first training session following his transfer to Fulham from Groningen. After the players had been pulled apart (and as Lurid Coat points out) Woy then says to Nevland, 'welcome to ****ing England!' :lol:

Hey Nicko,

What happened to that South Korean kid who was on trial? Last i heard was that we were going to sign him then loan him out.

Thanks, this thread grew too quickly during the transfer window for me to read every single page.

I hear he did pretty well but is waiting on an answer about what happens next. Rovers would have to find a 'friendly' club to put him to until he qualifies for a work permit.

It is a bit unfair for British teams when they go for young non-EC players.

The Ghana kid Anthony Annan, who Chelsea are watching at the African Cup of Nations, was over when he was younger but they could not sign him for those reasons...however he is eligible to play in Norway and is about to move on.

Seems wrong to me.

We have a working relationship with Cercle Brugge so i would assume he could be loaned or purchased by them for us.

It would seem the best plan, but the whole thing seems a bit biased against British sides...and how come Arsenal can get such foreign talent with or without work permits?

I'm sure they have some kind of work around. You hear of Man Utd sending players off to their feeder team but i think Wenger realises he wants them early and gets them into Europe somehow.

It does seem very biased against British teams but i don't think it's likely to change.
