Ewood and I Would Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Just telling you what's happened. But you seem to have a problem with that. Anyway, keep it up. Actually it's less what has happened and more what you suspect/your opinion but I'm not one to split hairs

RevidgeBlue Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Just telling you what's happened. But you seem to have a problem with that. Anyway, keep it up. Ouch, you are in a grouchy mood today. Don't have any problem with it at all, I just sensed a distinct lack of enthusiasm permeating forth from your keyboard and was poking a bit of fun. As for "what's happened" unless there has been a distinct change of view from the manager having assessed the squad, there's nothing happening with Andrews, I've been telling you that for weeks - but you keep that one up as well. I have a very large "humble pie" on order if we end up signing him!. Edited: Double post.
nicko Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Actually it's less what has happened and more what you suspect/your opinion but I'm not one to split hairs Just like I suspected most of your moves this summer. Must be a lucky guesser.
Jonnolad Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Nicko, it's being reported that Spurs have ruled out a move for Arshavin. With Berbatov looking extremely likely to be leaving as well as Keane, do you think we should start to be worried by any Spurs interest in Santa Cruz? As an aside, do you know if there's any truth in Bullard to Everton?

As an aside, do you know if there's any truth in Bullard to Everton? For God's sake I wish people would just start trusting Ince. He has said several times (including again today in the LET) that RSC will NOT be leaving Ewood Park and Santa Cruz is on record saying he's happy to stay. Besides why would he want to leave a top 4 team for one battling relegation
Ronin Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 There is reports that Owen's been mentioned for Spurs, if/when Berbatov goes. Don't know if that's too believable or not.
Eddie Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 They've denied it. That doesn't rule it out though.
rovers1995 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Is it true that Rovers are offering Roque a new much improved contract as reported in the Manchester Everning News today. I hope so he deserves it.
Jonnolad Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 For God's sake I wish people would just start trusting Ince. He has said several times (including again today in the LET) that RSC will NOT be leaving Ewood Park and Santa Cruz is on record saying he's happy to stay. Besides why would he want to leave a top 4 team for one battling relegation The same reason Bentley wanted to! Whilst I do trust Ince (although he did tell fibs over the Robinson signing) and I agree Roque has said on numerous occasions he's going nowhere, football is definitely a funny business and nothing is set in stone until that transfer window closes. As such I was interested on Nicko's thoughts. In fairness though I'm obviously hoping Nicko is gonna say Roque's likely going nowhere!
Ronin Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Although with the Robinson thing, you could say, at the time, he had intended to try and persuade Friedel to stay, so he wasn't interested in getting Robinson, hence what he said after the Macclesfield game. Friedel moving to Villa changed all that. But at least we made sure that we got him in before letting Brad go.
Ewood and I Would Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The same reason Bentley wanted to! I was unaware that Roque was a boyhood Spurs fan and wanted to improve his chances of playing for England...
Esulx Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Nicko... hope you havent booked your holiday yet... looks like an extra day for you. 1640: The Premier League have confirmed that the first transfer deadline of the season will be extended to midnight on September 1. The window is usually scheduled to close 24 hours earlier but has been put back because August 31 falls on a Sunday, following normal league guidelines.

It's a nice way of looking at it, however it was weird that nicko managed to predict the whole scenario before hand. Either Nicko should get a little hut on Blackpool's front or Incey was telling fibs.
67splitscreen Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I was unaware that Roque was a boyhood Spurs fan and wanted to improve his chances of playing for England... Bentley was not either.(unless he is a perpetual liar) Man U as a kid. Taken from his diary, on Icon's web site. Favourite player I'm a Manchester United fan. My dad originally got me watching them and the way they played. Eric Cantona was there at the time - I loved him, him and Gazza.
Jonnolad Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I was unaware that Roque was a boyhood Spurs fan and wanted to improve his chances of playing for England... Nah - Bentley went because he wanted to play Champion's League football remember It wouldn't surprise me with that liar if he was never even a boyhood fan of Spurs!

Either Nicko should get a little hut on Blackpool's front or Incey was telling fibs. I don't accept that. Why would Ince talk up Friedel if he knew he was going and hence would need to replace him? Maybe he feared that outcome but it was not resolved.
nicko Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 It's amazing how much more work you can get done when the site is down... The 11 o'clocker tonight will be well worth a check. In the meantime, no questions...off to an obscure ressie match.
bringdunnback Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Oooh how exciting, anything Rovers related.
Eddie Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 In the meantime, no questions Oooh how exciting, anything Rovers related. ...dude
nicko Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Rovers-related, all right. Final question and final answer.
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Think most people would have to accept that a bid of £20million + for Santa Cruz and we would let him go, even at this late stage of the season. Must disagree with you about Roque' s technical ability but given his injury record, it would be a poor decision to keep him. Not a chance mate, he's worth more to us than 20 million,forget it...THE NO SALE SIGNS ARE UP!
imy9 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I reckon Andrews is about to sign as is another midfield player probably Grella or Pennant, but you never know there may be an exciting signing thrown in by Nicko!
T4E Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 ...dude That needed to accompanied by a "shaking your head" icon. I feel your pain.
bringdunnback Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah but don't we all feel that little bit more excited in the comfort (or possibly not) of knowing it's Rovers news.
rovers1995 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I hope it's good news and not something that is going to disappoint us all again.
