[Archived] Nickos (newer) Thread

[hawkiiz]

Has Nicko actually said it is a player?

Could easily be a new addition to the staff.

is there anyone left unemployed? who could it be then? astonishing coach? hmmm zagallo?

if its any former managers who had ince as a student, it could be hodgson. haha. wioooooooppa!

Madonna as tea lady?

[Dave S]

When Nicko means Shocker it must be an absolutely top drawer player......

.....or a player who will create enough debate to freeze the message board

As said before Lucas Neill............or......Bellamy...or even Lee Bowyer

I'm thinking on those lines anyway.

Barton, my God it is him, I know it.

[tony gale's mic]

Barton, my God it is him, I know it.

I'm starting to get very worried it's Barton too.

[alexanders]

Another guessing round:

Granero, Edmilson, Klasnic, Ujfalusi, Edgar Davids, Sidwell, Downing

[BRFC1995]

ince will be laying down a terrible marker if his first signing that we all judge him by is bowyer or neill or dyer , has to be big name podolski!

Can you imagine if his first sales are Bents and Brad and first purchase was Barton?

[incy wincy little spider]

Gilberto Silva @ 2 mill

Thats my guess, gilberto at 4million

[bazza]

Madonna as tea lady?

And before anyone says they would love to see Madonna serving Roque Santa Cruz..............................................So would I! So would I!

[sandstorm]

Sidwell

That must be why Nicko is shocked. Sidwell joining Rovers 24 hours after signing for Villa.

Its his hair right?

[bobsterbrfc]

duffer? neill? anelka? do we find out tomorrow?

[Eddie]

Got a feeling this isn't one to get excited about.

[BRFC1995]

barton is scum....no one at the club is that stupid, they'd give graham rix a job at an all girls school before that happened!

[67splitscreen]

Gilberto, no 2 mill is what the greeks have agreed

Can't be barton, his still in Strangways

[Hughesy]

Essien. Chelsea have a bucket load of midfielders now.

[roverfanuk]

someone at skysports says we are going to have talks with sami hyypia and ivan rakitic.

Ivan Rakitić would be a superb signing...

Sadly, i dont think he falls under the shocking catagory that Nicko is talking about...

Maybe Saviola or Kim Källström??

[incy wincy little spider]

Gilberto, no 2 mill is what the greeks have agreed

Ah thats a good price for a world cup winner! Cant imagine him walking round the mall somehow...

Still my guess (if its a good signing)

[hawkiiz]

how the kjell are we gonna afford any big name that are not fighting against retirement?

Etxeberria, Riquelme, Capi? we could possiblu afford them but not pay them. thats the same with any established "astonishing" player.

Gera? Luque? Boa Morte? Pizarro? Stankovic?

[LeChuck]

Got a feeling this isn't one to get excited about.

Same...Nicko hasn't worded in a way that makes it sound like a terrific acquisition, just one that will be very surprising.

[Ronin]

Can you imagine if his first sales are Bents and Brad and first purchase was Barton?

I'd rather not

[cletus]

Blackburn boss Paul Ince is chasing £6millionrated Ecuadorian midfield ace Segundo Castillo in his first big transfer deal.

The powerful South American (above) plays for Red Star Belgrade in Serbia but is keen on a move to England.

Just been ont mirror website. Not sure if this if yesterdays news or the one Nicko`s referring to?

[AggyBlue]

How about Voltz, that would be shocking

[RevidgeBlue]

I think that letting friedel go at this stage unless the guy coming in is breathtakingly good (and he won't be because that costs too much) is managerial suicide for Ince. How to turn the majority of fans against you in one fell swoop. You haven't convinced us of anything yet and then you decide to get rid of Mr Popular himself. You might not like him but we do and we'll still be here when you have entered the Rovers history books. Probably a very short chapter. I understand the reasons why some are saying this could be a good time to sell but I don't think the majority of us believe tham.

Gumboots, for someone supposedly intelligent, (a teacher) the stuff you come out with at times is quite ridiculous.

As was the stuff you came out with about Allardyce.

Whilst the quality of nicko's info is usually very good, there is no hard evidence whatsoever that either Friedel wants to leave or the club want to sell.

Even if it happens and we sell Friedel and get someone younger (say Cudicini) in for less money, it wouldn't be the worst move in the world.
