sparkspakespoke Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Man City will be selling a player or two very shortly... So the Corluka deal to Spurs will go thorugh? There's been reports that Johnson is now staying and signing a new deal. I guess it's not a boring time to be a city fan at the moment..

nicko Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 So the Corluka deal to Spurs will go thorugh? There's been reports that Johnson is now staying and signing a new deal. I guess it's not a boring time to be a city fan at the moment.. There is an awful lot going on today... Give me til later and I will make a bit more sense of it. And there WILL be a striker at Rovers tomorrow. With other midfield targets moving too. However do not draw any conclusions about players going, especially up front.
Jonnolad Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Man City will be selling a player or two very shortly... Either Man City are either unexplainably hoarding centre half's or they're surely gonna be selling Richards or Dunne.

And there WILL be a striker at Rovers tomorrow. With other midfield targets moving too. However do not draw any conclusions about players going, especially up front. Busy day for you then. By what you have said Re the striker I'm guessing it's either a loan deal or someone younger and not ready to challenge for a first team place, and that the Andrews deal is finalised. I look foward to 11 o'clock!
Tom 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Will Michael Johnson go? We played them on Sunday and I have to say, the guy looks really good. His a lot bigger than I thought as well so he is strong and technically good. I think he's as good as Barry. Good signing if anyone got him....and before anyone says no that isn't me fishing for a Villa link, I just saw him on Sun and was impressed.

roverfanuk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Kompany is superb. Bit of a shock that one. Agreed, i hate that Man City are signings such a superb player... Damn it! Nicko any idea how much money Kompany is setting back Man City? Any idea of the number of players we will be bringing in for the first team (excluding Fowler which seems to have hit a snag?). You must have a better idea now? I hope... Finally, do you think a big name will come in before the window closes? Ie, Joaquin etc..? Also, just heard from a mate of mine that Brum might be showing solid interest in Robbie Fowler and a non, pay-as-you-play contract. Any truth in it?
LeChuck Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Kompany is superb. Bit of a shock that one. Yeah...that's a huge shock. He'll probably be off to Chelsea or Barca in a year or two, he is excellent.
RoverRich Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 So, Nicko, are we actually going to have new players in before the Hull game? Either Man City are either unexplainably hoarding centre half's or they're surely gonna be selling Richards or Dunne. I'm guessing Corluka will be leaving with Richards being pushed out to right back
DeadlyDirk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I'll be interested to see how Kompany does, was touted as a great star of the future a couple of years back not sure how much he has done since, have only seen him play a handful of times. No doubt he's class on Football Manager though. I'd be a little surprised if it was Zigic at Blackburn tomorrow because there have already been numerous reports about us being interested so I would of thought nicko would have named him if that was the case. Perhaps the striker West Ham were looking at?
den Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Nicko - striker for tomorrow - loan, trial or permanent?
Cally Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I think he turned Chelsea down a couple of seasons ago. Sounds like he's got his head screwed on....or off depending on your views of his imminent move to City. Had horrendous injury problems in the past, though.
nicko Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Nicko - striker for tomorrow - loan, trial or permanent? Trial.
Rathbone Market Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I'll be interested to see how Kompany does, was touted as a great star of the future a couple of years back not sure how much he has done since, have only seen him play a handful of times.

I'd be a little surprised if it was Zigic at Blackburn tomorrow because there have already been numerous reports about us being interested so I would of thought nicko would have named him if that was the case. Perhaps the striker West Ham were looking at? Possibly- stories suggesting Curbishley wouldn't play him in a specially arranged, behind closed doors, friendly. So much going on behind the scenes at West Ham it wouldn't surprise me if this Pinto guy ends up at Rovers after all.
rovers1993 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 is the striker good? able to challenge for a first team spot or he is just for back up as the fowler deal has hit a snag.
Jonnolad Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Kompany is superb. Bit of a shock that one. Apparently his current form is none too special. Hamburg fans are certainly not complaining that he's left by all accounts. That said we all know Sparky's record at signings - especially defenders who are struggling in the Bundesliga!
Valois Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Trial. pinto it is then, take it his move to west ham went belly up.
philipl Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Apparently the fee is E13.6m for Kompany. What is going on at Hamburg? Kompany sold, Attouba and Olic apparently available for sale. Anyone taking Albert Camus seriously?
The Rover of Finland Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Trial. Fowler gets another trial..must be that Pinto fellow.
bubblerrovers Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Not knocking it but we seem to be the only premiership club that does trials, or is it nicko informs us of all ours. Would hate to lose a decent player over a trial.
Cally Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Apparently the fee is E13.6m for Kompany. What is going on at Hamburg? What is going on at City more like.
Jonnolad Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Not knocking it but we seem to be the only premiership club that does trials, or is it nicko informs us of all ours. Would hate to lose a decent player over a trial. West Ham do as well it would seem.
Majiball Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Apparently the fee is E13.6m for Kompany. What is going on at Hamburg? Kompany sold, Attouba and Olic apparently available for sale. Anyone taking Albert Camus seriously? Van der Vaart as well, the bit I don't get is the prices so cheap, madness. Not knocking it but we seem to be the only premiership club that does trials, or is it nicko informs us of all ours. Would hate to lose a decent player over a trial. I like it, we've picked up some gems doing it this way and avoided some bad ones. I'm more than sure it goes on at other clubs Arygle have had over 20 so far this window.
