thenodrog Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 RSC and Benny will both be off soon, Akinbye's OK in the Campionship but cannot cut it in the Prem so maybe we can do a deal with the dingles in the summer.

T4E Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Poor Zurab, always gets forgotten about. Whats the story with Zurab right now? Is he injured? He'd be the first CB in the side for me when available - he's the best defender we have.

roverfanuk Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Some interesting stuff from SkySports: Astrit Ajdarevic on trial from Liverpool hoping for a deal: http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,1952...4625613,00.html Tore Reginiussen in the dark over future: http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,1952...4625352,00.html
Majiball Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Curiously this Cauna chap, does his name not ring a bell with anyone else? was he not linked to liverpool? His name just seems familiar but I can't find any info? anyone know more?
rover6 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 The sad truth of it is we have carried too many average players for a while. Oh for the days of Patrick Valery...!
roverfanuk Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Helguera has been realeased by Valencia. Would be a quality signing as a free transfer, especially with our fragile backline... Would he be interested though?
grizfoot Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Whats the story with Zurab right now? Is he injured? He'd be the first CB in the side for me when available - he's the best defender we have. Cost us the second goal against Sunderland might have something to do with it. I personally think when Samba is on form he's head and shoulders (no pun intended) our best central defender. Problem is for every good game he has there's always a mstake ridden game somewhere inbetween. I'd say Zurab is definately our most consistent defender though and has a good reading of the game and is rarely caught out of position, his lack of pace is the only problem really.

Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is what a lot of Rovers watchers have been saying is what causes Samba's mistakes - other CBs bad positioning and his attempts to cover. If thats the case, Zurab and Samba is a no brainer isn't it?
philipl Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 BBC gossip has: Blackburn boss Paul Ince will move for Millwall centre-back Zak Whitbread - son of Rovers' chief scout Barry - if he survives the transfer window. (Daily Mirror)
den Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 BBC gossip has: Blackburn boss Paul Ince will move for Millwall centre-back Zak Whitbread - son of Rovers' chief scout Barry - if he survives the transfer window. (Daily Mirror) Yes, saw that. Hopefully it's not true. Hopefully he's learning that signing players from the lower leagues only gets you one place, - the lower leagues.

unleaded Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Cheif scout reccommends his own son and Ince falls fall it!.................Mr Williams needs to get a grip I feel...........All through the last transfer window we had the Andrews/Fowler saga and 6 months later up pops another.....I was a Ince supporter but his taste for Players is very very strange..........
Blueandwhitemike Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I think, before everyone starts slagging PI off, you should consider a few things a) it might not be true he might be young and cheap and a good prospect c) he might be a really good player. At least stop and think for a minute about it.

At least stop and think for a minute about it. The story is right and there has been a very recent inquiry. It's been ongoing for months, incidentally. If truth be told the deal makes sense in one way - who is going to want to join you in January if you are stuck in the bottom three? It's something you have to consider.

Loan is the way forward in January Nicko, - not signing more lower league players ala Fowler, Andrews and Whitbread. My how our standards have dropped.

My how our standards have dropped. I hear what you're saying, but this is a different season. There are a dozen teams in the relegation fight and four in the Champions League with three or four more in the UEFA Cup - so who is going to loan you a player in the top flight? I think that is why so many foreign players have been looked at and one of two in obscure places. Remember Nelsen came from total obscurity to be a big player in Sparky's first season. This will apply to whoever is the manager in January.

There must be many quality central defenders around European clubs who aren't currently in their first teams - and who wouldn't be averse to spending a few months on loan and playing first team football. That's got to be better than bringing in more sub standard players on permanent deals? Do Ince or his staff have the contacts though?

There could be foreign centre halves on their wish list...but I do know they have asked about Whitbread...so we will see who they end up with or not.
