CrazyIvan Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Who is the Macc Town forward that is supposedly going to sign in January? Is it John Rooney brother of Wayne? Oddly listed as a midfielder here but the write up says centre forward!
67splitscreen Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 BENAYOUN FEELS THE FRUSTRATION. Not a target, as we know of, yet, he is not happy at Liverpool to say the least. More bench warming to come, once Raffa, reads this artical. Link
vintageadidas Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I would definitely have Yossi in our team, very good player. However, he must play with pace upfront. Would he come? At present i very much doubt it.
nicko Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Just to clear up any confusion... The Macc kid is called Blackman and has been training at Rovers on and off for a couple of months. I don't know if they have decided whether he is good enough or not. He was with Man U as a youngster so he can't be a dud. MK Dons keeper Willy Gueret is telling people he is joining in January. Almost identical to the info about Andrews from last summer. Yossi Benayoun is a fine player but he is paid around around £70,000-a-week. I suspect that is a non-runner. Jermaine Pennant thinks he is a free in the summer, Liverpool believe they have a one-year option on top. I don't see him being in a rush to move in January. As for the many trialists coming in shortly, worth a look as long as they are studied closely. I saw Castillo playing for Everton reserves last night and it is no wonder Rovers said no to him in a hurry. As one manager said to me last night 'maybe they have sent his brother.'
67splitscreen Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Moyes - Castillo. How much did he cost them. 4-5m. Just maybe, Ince does know a MF'er when he sees one after all.
G Somerset Rover Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Good to see you back on here Nicko. If we get the MK Dons keeper then I'll seriously worry. What's your take on the situation at Rovers Nicko? Any idea how long Ince will be given if things do not turn around?
unleaded Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Rovers have the following players coming on trial: Hosny Abd-Rabbo............Top rated Egyptian mdfeilder......Voted best in African Nations................ Ahmed El-Muhammadi...........Right back/Winger........ Tore Reginiussen.........Defender...........Tromso.......... Tijan Jaiteh.............Midfeilder.............Gambian Star and already plays for national team.......... Jonas Portin........right back..........Finland......... who plays for Jaro.............. Tresor Mputu?....................Failed to agree personal terms with Qatar champions and maybe return to England for Rovers trial..........
Hughesy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Looks like they are very busy. Im sure they must have other 'non-trialist' targets too. Personally dont see a problem with this MK dons keeper if he is only 3rd choice or whatever. Maybe get a decent fee for Brown, so it makes sense.
philipl Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Rovers have the following players coming on trial: Hosny Abd-Rabbo............Top rated Egyptian mdfeilder......Voted best in African Nations................ Ahmed El-Muhammadi...........Right back/Winger........ Tore Reginiussen.........Defender...........Tromso..........

Tresor Mputu?....................Failed to agree personal terms with Qatar champions and maybe return to England for Rovers trial.......... An impressive bunch- Particularly Abd-Rabbo. Any true wingers? How much does Mputu want if he cannot get the Qataris to divvy up for him???
nicko Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Castillo is only on loan at Everton. I think they realise he is not what they want already.
BuckyRover Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How many people described him as an Ince mistake? I don't remember seeing many retractions
Hughesy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Correct Bucky, he should be praised for leaving him alone. We have missed out on paying £5m for Castillo and Pennant on 50k a week. To me that is good news! Nicko any news on any of our other targets? Right wingers/ strikers/ midfielders? Non-trialist quality ideally.
JAL Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How many people described him as an Ince mistake? I don't remember seeing many retractions Yes Bucky, would be very interesting to know who they are.
philipl Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How many people described him as an Ince mistake? I don't remember seeing many retractions Did Paul Ince even see him when he was at Brockhall? and that is not a rhetorical question. You might find that one of the maligned pensioners sent Castillo on his way.
nicko Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Nicko any news on any of our other targets? Right wingers/ strikers/ midfielders? Non-trialist quality ideally. The Egyptian lad mentioned by unleaded is said to be a good right winger, but he has also played right back which is a worry as 'versatile' usually means ' just OK.' The Austrian striker Janko seems to be a legit target. At 6ft5in it would be something different. And the Gambian midfielder is well-recommened by some - although he will struggle for a work permit. I don't think I could give you a list of likely signings because I don't think they know who they want themselves...but after seeing the trialists it should be clearer.
Hughesy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 WRONG, Castillo joined the squad in Germany/ Austria (wherever they were) and was sent packing after just a few days by Ince.
LDRover Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How many people described him as an Ince mistake? I don't remember seeing many retractions Wasn't that Bucky, it was the seeming lack of a plan B, which eventually became Vince Grella...who up to now would appear to be a mistake. Did he really cost 3 million??? And if this Willy Gueret stuff comes to be, well it just adds more fuel to the 'jobs for the boys' argument. Mind you, the board must be assessing this potential transfer action daily, in readiness to pull the plug and then eventually pull the trigger.
nicko Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Did Paul Ince even see him when he was at Brockhall? and that is not a rhetorical question. You might find that one of the maligned pensioners sent Castillo on his way. Castillo went to the camp in Germany, thinking he was signing and found out he was on trial. The manager decided against him after a day or maybe as long as two. He is not top drawer, so that sounds like a good decision.

philipl Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 WRONG, Castillo joined the squad in Germany/ Austria (wherever they were) and was sent packing after just a few days by Ince. Well Castillo was turned tround in 24 hours but I defer to your eye witness account.
broadsword Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ince must be a half-wit if he signs Gueret. Even if it is "just" tens of thousands, it is a diabolical waste of money. I need to be told something that will give me a bit of faith that our manager knows what he's doing. As it is, if someone put a gun to my head and said "back or sack Ince??", the answer would be an over-whelming "sack". i just can't help the gut feeling at the moment that if this ar5e is given enough time he will ruin my club.
CrazyIvan Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Well Castillo was turned tround in 24 hours but I defer to your eye witness account. How about deferring to Nicko's?
philipl Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How about deferring to Nicko's? Yes, there are three posts on the previous page.
CrazyIvan Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Yes, there are three posts on the previous page. Ok, I'll get specific then, post 1200. How about that one?
