herbergeehh Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Watching Cassano mess the Juventus back four around, would be the ultimate test of Hughes man management skills and a brilliant partner for Santa Cruz. A lot of trouble with Cassano, growing up in the streets of Bari before being taken in as a member of Totti's family when signing for Roma in a big-money deal. One of the best young forwards in the world when he's on form, both as a playmaker and a goalscorer. Will never happen, but in my opinion he's the type of player we need - pace, skill and bags of creativity.

herbergeehh Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Creating Scoring Showboating For entertainments sake, here's hoping he will be brought into Italy's squad for the European Championship.

There's loads of players we could list who are just the type of player we need, barely worth mentioning if there's zero chance of them coming though.
ChesterRover Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 If the press rumours are true that Richard Dunne is available for 2.5 million I'd be first in line, good steady and hard as nails Prem league centre back, Go get him Sparky! Good right back and creative midfielder needed too!
Dunnfc Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Wouldn't mind a closer look at Cardiff's Peter Whittingam, he looks like Dunn pre Birmingham.

No chance, unfortunately, Sampdoria have already agreed a price with Madrid and he is prepared to take a wage cut to join them permanently. He's a class player though.
Silencio Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Wouldn't mind a closer look at Cardiff's Peter Whittingam, he looks like Dunn pre Birmingham. You reckon? I think he's rubbish. Didn't really do the biz at Burnley and is nothing like done was IMO...
joey_big_nose Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11881_3574610,00.html I hope Mark Hughes is keeping tabs. If we aren't interested, then we should be. An out and out finisher. Fantastic shout. Striker is not a priority (unless Roberts leaves) but this guy could do the business. Loving the editing of Farfan's wiki page. If there is one player out there that 1) would come to Blackburn 2) Could add pace, flair and width to our attack then it is Farfan. But loads of clubs have to be interested.
LeChuck Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 You reckon? I think he's rubbish. Didn't really do the biz at Burnley and is nothing like done was IMO... He was only there for seven games or so, you can't really judge him on that. I've always liked Whittingham, I was never too sure why Villa let him go. However, I'd take Ledley over Whittingham every time from that Cardiff team, I think he's a cracking player.
tcj_jones Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I like Whittingham and was very surprised when he left Villa. He was seen as a real prospect a few years back.
Hughesy Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 That Ledley lad seemed a decent prospect. Maybe Jason Roberts for Ledley and £2m should cover it!
Rover4ever Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will swoop for Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz if Emmanuel Adebayor leaves to join Barcelona. (The Times) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/g...ers/7407706.stm %^#%@"$@# I wouldnt mind if it was published in NOTW, but in the Times...........

Roque said in the interview he gave recently that it was up to the club what happened to him. In other words he's not pushing for a move. Might take it if the club thinks it's good value to sell him but he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to go on strike or make things awkward if we say no.
Cocker Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Enckleman, Henchoz and Berner released Brilliant news. That should keep the wages down a bit.
BiggusLaddus Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Enckleman, Henchoz and Berner released I thought we might keep Berner on tbh. Do you think this means MH is happy with Olsson, Treacy and Peter as left sided back-up, or is planning to do a lot of shopping in that area?
Oklahoma Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I guess Hughes will use Warnock and Olsson as leftback.
b12_simon Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I thought we might keep Berner on tbh. Do you think this means MH is happy with Olsson, Treacy and Peter as left sided back-up, or is planning to do a lot of shopping in that area? Dunno if Hughes is happy but it does confirm that Berner's a lump of kronk!
philipl Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Berner has done his job and wasn't needed often as cover on the left which he was brought into provide. Remember there was a risk we'd bought an injury-prone crock in Warnock which thankfully hasn't turned out to be the case. I think it is a clear vote of confidence in Olsson and perhaps indicative that Dunn and Peter are also seen as OK cover on the left if both Warnock and MGP are out at the same time.
Hughesy Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 They believe Olsson is our top young talent at the moment so its only right they give him the chance to be the 1st choice back-up. Maybe give him a couple of cup games too. Im glad with the releases so far - however id also like to see Gallagher let go as he has just not been mentioned in the last 18 months. Glad tugay has been offered a player/ coaching role - very fetching and he can still play 6-8 games a season against the weaker teams.
brian_gallagher85 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Kevin Doyle? Championship! or has found his level We are playing a word association game, right Iccers?
