[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[Quack]

The news relating to De Vita was a single line at the bottom of the news article about Berner, Henchoz and Encks being released on the club site.

That seems a lot of money...but I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea of the player.

I know he's been linked to Villa but dont recall him being linked to Rovers.

If have made a bid £3.7 million sounds a bit expensive...

I thought the same considering Santa cruz was 3.8m. Somewhere between 2 and 2.5 would be fine

[Tom 1]

Faye's been one of our better players I'd be surprised if Keegan let him go, he's even better in the holding midfield role so perhaps Hughes is looking to play him there since he had the other Faye in from Charlton for a trial.

Not sure what will happen with Barton, i think Keegan will want to stick by him but the board might want to get rid.

I think he will stick with Barton.

I read in Birmingham Mail that we're set to sign Sidwell for around 4.5m with him cutting his wages in half. Dunno how much to read into it.

In for some keepers as well apparently.

[Mozzer]

have you got a link to where the bid has been accepted regarding justin hoyte???

good young player..

I can't make a link but it was in the tugay signs new deal comments part on thisislancashire.co.uk. Several people have heard it on the radio apparently

Sidwell's fee is £2 million but he is on £65,000-a-week. It's possible Villa would pay more of a fee for Chelsea to give it back to Sidwell as a pay-off.

And Villa are after lots of keepers.

Yeah it said signing on fee to sort his wages out, maybe thats where the 4.5m figure came from, dunno our paper comes out with a lot of ###### but also a fair bit of real stuff as well...hit and miss.

God keepers, I've heard Jussi from Bolton, Asenjo(sp) from Real Valladoid, Ben Foster, Guzan, Wayne Henessey, Carson for 6m, I don't even try and keep up with that one mate He'll sign 2 though.

[BiggusLaddus]

Knowing what we know about Barton, would you really take a bet that he gets out eral based on "good behavior". The guy can;t help but start a punchup on a training ground, and he's supposed to be a good lad in prison?

Everyone gets let out early over here. You'd have to try topping a prison officer to get your sentence extended with our prisons as full as they are.

Most things on there are wind-ups. Last week it was someone saying they'd "herd" on Radio Lancs Bentley had handed in a transfer request. It's Burnley idiots trying to wind up Rovers fans.

I was wondering Nicko if you know anything about the futures of the three released Rovers-players Enckelman, Berner and Henchoz? Would be interesting to know And speaking of squadplayers - have you heard anything about the futures of players such as Paul Gallagher, Aaron Mokoena, Sergio Peter?

ENCKELMAN - the move to Cardiff may not be a permanent one now...can't think why.

BERNER - has had a couple of Championship clubs on. Quite well-respected.

HENCHOZ - off the radar.

PETER - I heard his contract was up and he wanted to go home. I was surprised to hear he might be staying.

No news on GALLAGHER or MOKOENA.

Roy to swoop in for Henhcoz?

[nicko]

Roy to swoop in for Henhcoz?

Surely not.

[Cocker]

Roy to swoop in for Henhcoz?

Swoop? I don't know about that. He could stop off for a stroll along around town and stop of for T and a scone before picking him up

[they_think_its_all_rover]

When you go to wembley, may be good to stop off at London Bridge and eat around there (jubilee line) and get back on the train (jubilee line to wembley park)

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'm getting a coach down, so will be going direct to Wembley and I'm not sure of how long before kick-off I'll have.

Do you know of anywhere cheap around Wembley, to eat?

(or does that seem silly having "cheap" & "Wembley" in the same sentence?)

[alexanders]

When is Ivelin Popov coming on a trail?

[ransome]

didnt peter sign a contract until 2010 last year?

Sorry I don't know of anywhere cheap to eat around wembley - I suggest you take your own or a large wallet.

As a stadium wembley is ok - until you need the toilet - large urinal - but only ONE cubercle in each gents.

When I went to the final on saturday they said over the tannoy before going in - No rucksacks, large bags, alcohol or bottles of any kind and everybody will be searched as they go in. On the turnstilles it says No Cameras, camcorders, recording devices. My friend who was with me had a rucksack, camera and a camcorder and a plastic water bottle - they searched him and said nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would be interested to hear your comments about wembley when you return.

Enjoy.

[nicko]

When is Ivelin Popov coming on a trail?

There won't be anyone in on trial until pre-season...and I don't know if they will follow that one up.

[thenodrog]

There are two problems for Benfica to sign him:

-Wigan pays better wages

- Benfica still has no manager.

So, maybe he will sign for Wigan.

Bloody unbelievable isn't it? If you had posted that a decade or two ago Oklahoma you would have been sectioned under the mental health act.
