[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[trs]

Wonder who the other two player are that MH has bid for

David Villa and Mario Gomez!

[modes98]

Hughes to meet with Berbatov later, so I think he is out on the golf course.

Still nothing from the halls of power at ewood.

Edit: In other ex-rover news, Jon Stead has left Sheffield United, joining Championship rivals Ipswich Town.

Anybody know what happened to Pinto?

[colbert]

just read this on the bbc website (live transfer news) and made me chuckle.

1318: "I live and work in Chiang Mai, Thailand and my live-in maid says her ex-boss's cousin's brother, who owns Chiang Mai United is presently in talks with Thaksin Shinawatra about a possible takeover, since he's DEFINITELY selling Man City. However, since I don't speak very good Thai, she may also be telling me she's not coming into work on Wednesday."

Was sent packing days ago according to nicko. Reported somewhere in this thread.

If I recall correctly, Nixon said he turned up injured and didn't speak a word of English so he was quietly shown the door.

[ebenrocks]

this is so brass.

i dont know if its possible now to get anyone in. only 8 hours left. Maybe someone from the premiership or lower leagues but 8 hours certainly isnt enough time to fly a player in, negotiate contracts and fee and do a medical. Think we might well not get anyone, thats what my money would be on at the moment.

People (or should I say idiots?) on 606 claiming that Papa Waigo is at Brockhall but same person says he is a right winger and I just looked him up and it says he is a striker so I don't know. Also, someone else says Mokoena is going to Ajax. Please come on Nicko and give us some good, believable news!

Gotta love transfer deadline day - it was probably Papa Smurf.

LET is saying that we've completed the deal for Mark Bunn, undisclosed fee and 4 yr deal, hopefully this will set the deals for us off......or that could be it for the day

[Al]

Too many people logging on and refreshing I guess. Same happened when Ince became Rovers new manager.

Currently the icons telling you wether or not there are new posts do not change unless you refresh. That is why there are a lot of F5's.

Wonder if it's too late to change reserves team for tonight and give him a game? Looks a strongish line-up tonight with Carlos, Andrews, Simpson, Brown all starting.

Still chuckling, and aghast also, at the City/Berbatov story - another cheap PR shot by City? Would love to see Fergie's face - priceless.I reckon that head Arab is Peter Kay.

Wonder how long it will be before the next twist in the City debacle? We should tell em we'll take Ireland on a free now. Wonder what implications are for Roque? Other players have completed transfers whilst injured. Still a smart move to renew his contract whatever happens.

[nicko]

No word on Rovers right wingers...Pennant still won't go to Stoke and Holman is waiting for the call - Rovers know the deal.

So this is an odd one.

All sorts of craziness going on right now.

EVERTON's record deal is on...but won't happen until January.

STOKE snubbed on Ledley, going for Soares at Palace.

[Hughesy]

Finnan signed for Espanyol, so Riera in the opposite will happen later.

Robinho on a 4pm flight from Madrid.

City are worrying with their big cash! Hopefully we sign a right winger today - Valdo I think

[RibbleValleyRover]

I'll be surprised if we bring anyone in before the window closes, if we do it will probably be a free transfer or a loan. No point getting excited by the looks of it.

[Hughesy]

We should make a move for someone like Walcott on Loan and also sign a right winger.

Be gutted if we get nobody.

[Sysagent]

Mmm

I get that feeling of impending doom now that we aren't going to get someone of great "worth" into the team as well...

:S

Bet you need a lie down after deadline days

[FeedTheHare]

Anything else interesting, Nicko? Heard Ashton could be leaving The Shammers.

I think this is our best option now & I have a feeling thats who we will sign..

Unfortunately Joaquin wants to stay at Valencia & Pennant is being stubborn.

We'd never get Walcott on loan he's playing all the time at Arsenal now!

[Moorey]

"Nobody" is better than the Donkey Burnley are about to sign. Be thankful.

It was reported on sky that Pennant would like to go to Rovers, but Rovers are not interested in him.

Roque, young brother on the bench. Is this his first outing, or has he turned out for the academy sides.

I have to admit I know little about him, other than the obvious.

[nicko]

The Jeffers story is just one of many bogus tales doing the rounds today...ignore.
