[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[roverfanuk]

Good luck Brad...

In other news, Sparky and Man City just lost a pre-season friendly 1 nill, what a shame!

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Wilfred Bouma just suffered a HORRENDOUS looking leg break in their Intertoto game... his foot is about 120 degrees away from where it should be pointing. Looked like a hamstring injury for a while until the commentators on Setanta spotted the foot.

So I guess that'll be Martin O'Neill in the market for a left back, to add to Portsmouth, Newcastle and Wigan..

[chocky]

You could see it pointing the wrong way.... Horrific break..

[rebelmswar]

Nicko do you think it will be likely that you can get an accurate price on how much Brad went for?

[joey_big_nose]

You rate Duff at 5M - 'cos in todays market Warnock is worth about 7M?

That's what the Mags paid for him 2 long injury laden years ago.

I like Duff, and maybe he can do a job, but we could drive a far harder bargain than that JBN.

Remember, it is Newcastle we're talking about

Fairr point, we could probably get him cheaper.

I just think Duff can refind himself.

There is the question of how much we need him though. MGP is obviously raring for the new season, Villanueva sems like a guy who could play on the left in a 4-2-3-1 or a 433.

I like Duff but many other priorites - right back, central midfield, and I would probably try and get in an out and out target man before worrying about another left sided player. But he definately isn't finished as a top player.

[novella]

dont think it was career ending but it was as bad as eduardo's break. probably worse. he will be out for a long time....

i wish him a full speedy recovery.

[roversmum]

Oh dear, poor Bouma. Very best wishes to the lad, it won't be an easy recovery from that.

[islander200]

Im not sure if this was mentioned yet, but does Hughes perhaps regret not sticking around at Rovers. The reason why im saying that, is that if he was stil our coach and with Quieroz leaving, hughes would most certainly have been SAF 1st choice to be his number 2.

No way would hughes have gone as number 2

[-foreverrovers-]

nicko, could you tell me the colour of the ink that paul robinson signed his contract with?.

also will carlos use the same pen,or will he opt maybe for a felt tip ormaybe even a wax crayon?

[tony gale's mic]

I see nicko hasnt commented on the Warnock/Duff rumours, pretty worried this might well be true.

[brfcshabba]

Or maybe he is not near his computer...

Or maybe he can't be bothered anymore.

[tony gale's mic]

I think he's posted since, and he often denies things if theyre not true. Would fit his description too...

Wait and see I guess.

[almuncle]

What about Warnock out and good old Lucash back ...for a twist?

[S15]

I'm starting to like this.

Wonder if Billy McKinlay has kept his boots clean.

Leave oour Billy alone.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Bouma update... it's "only" a dislocated ankle. Still nasty, and it looked awful, but it sounds like he'll make a full recovery eventually.

[jim mk2]

Emerton is possibly the fastest player we have and his ability to beat a fullback has never been in question. .

Eh ? When did Emerton last beat a full back ?

[mark1875]

just seen kevin keegan saying he is expecting two new arrivals next week. believed to be full backs? and people on here are suggesting one of these could be warnock?? surely not? please?

It wouldn't surprise me

So if Warnock is sold will we be making a move for Dean Lewington?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Coco the flurkin clown would be a more apt buy.....ROLL UP! ROLL UP! FOR THE BIGGEST FIRE SALE IN FOOTBALL.

On a serious note do you think Ince is that stupid/nieve to sell Warnock?

[Paulsman]

Keegan - "we went from Christmas to the end of the season with one left back and we'll get another one definitely!"

[T4E]

On a serious note do you think Ince is that stupid/nieve to sell Warnock?

We'll soon find out wont we?

[mark1875]

no i dont think he is. it wud be suicidal.

newcastle bid a reported 2m, that is a long way off the true valuation of warnock. it has taken us a long time to find a new left back - since the days of graeme le saux.

some people are suggesting damien duff in a swap? but judging by ince's praisng of pedersen last night - surely he must feel keeping a left back is more important than buying a left winger? and giving himself the task of replacing warnock?

i can't see this happening
