have they been panicking all summer then?

[brfc_jonesy]

man city are a joke, and everything that is wrong with modern day football

[joey_big_nose]

I have backed Ince all the way through, and will still see how things pan out obviously, but if we don't sign anyone what are our options on the right? Reid is looking terrible, Emerton is a worker but not a creater. It is a sad state of affairs where you can say that probabaly the best option is to play Pedersen on the right and Treacy on the left? Or Cruz on the right of a 433? Blimey...

We are going to be put in the position of hoping Judge or Simpson can follow Treacy's example and make the step up. If not we are looking pretty screwed.

Come on guys, pull another rabbit out of the hat!

That muppet at COM is just like every other City fan...a complete dick

Nicko, or anyone who knows, how the hell can Berbatov be having a medical at Old Trafford if they haven't agreed terms with Spurs, or am I being really nieve?

Cousin to Hull

I get the feeling that by january it will be too late. Teams would have realised how poor our right side is and how desperate we are for a right winger so will start upping the prices of their players. It will probably get worse than it is now

[hollowsr]

I'm guessing that Man Utd have been given permission to talk to Berbatov. Even Ferguson ain't that stupid to try something like this.

[ebenrocks]

this transfer window has been shambolic for us. Sort it out rovers. Aint got high hopes for this season if we dont even have a competant right winger. Im sure opposition fullbacks will be shaking with fear at Emerton hurtling towards them.

We had a terrible January and this has been a terrible Summer, the board and ince dont seem to have got their priorities right at all

[Billy Castell]

Have a bad feeling we'll not sign anyone.

[andyrover]

who would want to come to blackburn in this rain

Echoes of the Roy Keane saga all those years ago. If only the Rovers secretary hadn't gone home for the weekend...

I'd have thought Spurs have given the go ahead for the medical incase United come up with the cash. Spurs would be daft to deny them that only for them to say they'll pay at 11ish and not be able to make it happen.

This is as bad as January. Cannot believe we're going to pocket the Bentley cash and do sod all.

Plus Spurs will need time to make their next move for a striker.

The Berbatov affair is about to become the biggest transfer stink of all time...

Why does everyone assume that we will be playing with an out and out right winger ?

I always believed that part of Emerton's problem was that he needed room to make best use of his pace. Given a more pacy winger on the opposite flank (Treacy) - I think Emerton could start to see a little more room developing for him.

At some point I think Ince will adjust the team to make room for Carlos - and I can see use playing 4-3-1-2 - with a narrow midfield.

That mean he's staying at Spurs?

[CornishRover]

who would want to come to blackburn in this rain

Who wouldn't?! The only difference between Cornwall and Blackburn is that the rain's slighly warmer down here...

[T4E]

Intruiging.......

[stuwilky]

Gets the medical out of the way.

The theory is that they cannot discuss terms with the player.....

[speeeeeeedie]

I think we should stick with what we've got. Things tend to get a bit desperate on the last day. Some of the silly prices being paid for very average players baffles me.

[ebenrocks]

Have a bad feeling we'll not sign anyone.

i'd say we almost certainly wont.

We lose two of our best players and sign the grand old duke of FA, terrible.

We started with an apparent transfer budget of about 10 million, plus 5 from hughes, plus 16 million or there abouts from Bentley and 2.5 from brad. With deductions i think we should still have had around 22 million to spend, and we've spent 7 maybe 8 million. As soon as Bentley left, a right winger of equivilent or better abillity should have beenbrought in.

Theres no point in selling your best players for millions if you're going to replace them with a worse model, and that is all we've been doing.

[rovers1995]

Nicko could just mean that its dragged on for too long now its getting boring
