Nicko

Are blackburn still looking into Zabaleta and it looks like like the hammers are close to signing behrami. Is he on the list of RBs which we are looking at.

[roverfanuk]

Nicko, more important question. Do you know if Carlos and Segundo have arrived for training yet?

[nicko]

"Stranraer Clarets" ??

Match made in heaven for you tonight then, Nicko. Partick Thistle vs Burnley...........................

Home win.

Makes you long for the Anglo Scottish Cup...

I don't think he is any more. That was a Mark Hughes production...when he went to the Espanyol game. He hasn't gone for him at Man City either which makes me think he wasn't THAT impressed.

Nicko speaking of old sparky im quite surprised that city havent made a move for david bentley do you expect them to? or has db set his heart on a return to the capital?Will there be an 11pm exclusive 2nite?

Or Hughes was told by Thaksin's minions that he didn't want him?

Man City would need to find £17 million. And I don't think there is a Brinks Mat job going down anywhere soon...

I think today's Rovers story might emerge a bit later...

[nicko]

Rovers are 3-1 to win ht/ft against Hoffenheim tonight.

I know it's only second game in, but that has to be worth a look...even if the opposition are going into the Bundesliga.

Hey Nicko,

Any more developments on Friedel and Villa in general?

and

Will Spurs go after Santa Cruz when Berbatov leaves?

Thanks

Chris

[Wedge]

Any more news on the Tottenham Four going to Sunderland, Nicko? Is the Bentley deal dependent on that deal going through or will Spurs bid for him regardless?

[Iceman]

Nicko,any happenings on the rest of the clubs,in the epl?the baggies have been quiet,no money perhaps?

They have spent quite alot on 6/7 players.

Why, can we not read the post, of at the very least today.

In the last hour, there have been six questions to Nicko, all asking the same things.

In most cases you will find your answers in the earlier post by Nicko.

Please, it's not much to ask.

[nicko]

I think it will come out shortly...for obvious reasons...but I believe Bentley is coming back from the tour. He is supposed to be injured, but make your own minds up on that one.

I think this - tied in with the LET line that 'it's down to the manager' - suggests that a sale is close.

Tottenham hope to have one of the Gang of Four out fast and possibly two.

So it's starting to fall together...slowly.

I think Brad is playing tonight, but that is also getting closer.

Interesting that Villanueva played his 'last' game for Audax Italiano before flying off...although it might be Wednesday before he turns up in Portugal [?]. No biggie.

Still not sure if Castillo has arrived, but no-one is expecting snags.

[islander200]

NICKO,are rovers sounding out any possible replacements for bentley or does emerton signing a new contract suggest that ince sees him as a right winger?any more updates on the right back slot and are we any closer to agreeing a fee for robinson?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Wouldn't it be better to let Spuds and Villa carry on fannying about and get a better price for him? Didn't realise a bid had been accepted.

a bid hasn't been accepted.

he is officially come back as 'injured' but that the clubs arnt far away from one another now.

is what i think nicko is saying!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Ah right. I thought he would stay in Germany with the club doctors (assuming they are there) to get his injury treated. Without Friedel I think we are really gonna struggle, he saves us so many games and points a season, he is worth just as much as Roque.

Looks like Villa have already dropped out, so we cant get a bidding war going unfortunatly. £17m is a cracking price for him anyway.

As for Brad, he is starting to get older and will soon start letting the odd goal in that he wouldnt of a couple of years ago

[Hughesy]

Nicko just heard from some Villa fans who are friends of the family. Word down there is that they are going to up their offer for Brad to closer to £3m - do you know if this is true?

Also something id like to know... Any names would be appreciated too...

Do you need to repeat the question though?

Gonna have to go back to warnings soon.

[den]

Hughesy, at least take the time to look further up the same page.

[roverrus14]
