Could be Castillo

(or Micah Richards- another name I floated),

oh god i hope no one buys any big players from citeh this season like richards because with the sale of someone like him they will have the money for roque. i think or will it get frozen like the rest or sinawatra's money??

can someone clear it up

I doubt its Castillo since Nicko said its good news for some and bad for others...Castillo was good news for all I reckon...

Duff would fit that.

Fowler would but why is he an old friend, as he is still here at the club.

Andrews could be but he wouldnt be good news for anyone.

could be but do we really need him

and wheres he gunna play.. the bench

Right Back(on the Bench), Id have him back, thought he was ace...

This is what I posted (tidied up not to encourage a war breaking out again):

Wages are up by about £4m to £40m, gate income down by about £1m (poor cup runs and reduced prices) media income up by nearly £20m.

How are wages up 4 Million?

We have got rid of Bentley, Friedal & Savage – Who between them would earn around 7-8 million per season.

We have added (so far) Vogel , Robinson, Villanueva (Loan) & Simpson (Loan) – Which combined will be around 4 million.

We have greatly reduced costings on staff- Hughes was on nearly 2million per season. Ince will be on nowhere near that amount. Add to that Bowen & staff- One could expect rovers to save anywhere between 1-2.5 millions on staff

We have also released Henchoz, Berner & Enkleman – Who probably would accrue wages of around 1.5 million per season.

We have given 5 1st team players new contracts- One could assume an extra £250,000 per player. This is around 1-2 millions.

We then have incremental pay rises written into player’s contracts. Perhaps an extra 5-10% on 6-8 contracts my guess would be 2 million- at most allocated to this.

There is no evidence whatsoever to assume that wags for this season will be up 4 million- Indeed it would sae to say overall wages will remain static or even be down on last season.

Nets to a £15m improvement of which £7m gets swallowed up paying off the excess borrowings from last year when Rovers bought ahead of the Prem going mad. Add back the Savage sale income of 1.5m as was pointed out and you get to a starting point of:

Net £9.5m to spend- Nicko said £10m.

Add £3m contribution from the Walker Trust

Add £4m profit on the management change.

Add £500K on the Garner sell-on fee.

Add £750K on budget saving by not paying Hughes et al in June and not paying Bentley his new contract.

Add £9m on Bentley if Arsenal get 50%

Minus £1m on Robinson/Friedal

Minus £4m set to one side for Villanueva

The trust have stated they will make more money avaialble later in the season- which will cover this proposed transfer. Should the club make this a permanant deal

With or without Zigic they will go down. Just cant see them staying. Although his goalscoring record is top notch everywhere he has been. I dont see any reason why he wont get some here either.

Posted
question for nicko for when you get round to it, is zigic really off to stoke? because man that would be some signing for them!

Stoke are in Valencia, trying to do that deal.

It's not done by any means.

Good signing for them if it happens, What about Kaboul Nicko, whats the latest with him?
