Is that Arsenal one Gareth Barry? It just shows you hard transfers are, Everton 5th best team in the league and they can't sign anybody.

all hell will break loose next week at this rate..

Shame nothing new on the rovers front.. boy I worry to much, dont you think us delaying on big moves is a bad idea though, Nicko surely the last min competition(given our penny pinching) will up prices and given our lack of reputation worldwide make us the underdogs compaired to other clubs?

Someones's going to come in with a Takeover bid.

That's my guess. The perfect time to pick them up for a song.

Nicko, one simple question.

Is their allot happening behind the scenes at Rovers, ie, frantic, or is it rather controlled and relaxed?

Good question.

May I also add to this?

Nicko, Do we have another 'closed door' game lined up with anyone (i.e Wrexham XI)? Just to test out these trialists..

We could do allot worse then Ireland you know... Would rather him the Andrews anyway!?

I have a weird feeling Ireland will go to Boro though!

:lol::lol::lol:

Funniest thing i have heard all day....would take Andrews anyday over Ireland, Stephen is a muppet who wouldnt even deserve a place in rovers squad

Ireland is from where I am and although he's a weirdo he is a decent player. Would be way better than Andrews in my opinion.

that puzzled me the other day when roy keane wast talking about transfer's , and clubs saying "players arnt for sale at any price" but he knew players were for sale , a lot of people thought this could have been directed at us with benni mcarthy ...well what if it was RSC he was talking about and rovers would under no circumstances sell benni , while other clubs were bidding on RSC, We'd be really in the mire if we let benni go now , then someone comes in a figure aug 31st for RSC we couldn't refuse

"I am telling you, no one is for sale, unless somebody offers me £20million for a player, which is not going to happen, then no one is for sale."

Cue Taggart launching a £20m bid for Roque next week :mellow:

Doesn't that make the assumption that Taggart considers Roque to be worth £20 million? I am not being argumentative or even trying to widen the Roque debate (not that this emotive subject requires any more catalysts!!) BUT, most importantly, nor am I trying to speak with blue and white tinted Raybans!! WE adore Roque, WE think Roque walks on water, WE think he can find a cure for cancer and resurrect John Wayne..........this is because WE are Rovers fanatics. The rest of the league consider Roque to be a very good striker.....VERY GOOD striker.......they don't consider him to be a Torres, Adebeyor or even Arshavin. The point I am making is this.......I don't believe any of the clubs would put a value of £20 million in his head and would, therefore, not be prepared to pay that much. Spuds shirked at £19.5 million for Arshavin.....a man they had almost bet their reputation on getting.....are they therefore going to pay MORE for Roque??? I doubt it. Villa will never pay £20 million for anyone because, like the rest of the clubs in and around them it is far too much of a risk. That leaves the big 4........Arsenal are a no....they have Adebeyor, Chelsea are a no.....they don't need him.......Liverpool are a no.....they can't afford £18 million for Barry.......that leaves Manure and ONLY Manure. Taggart...loathe him though I do, is a very shrewd man....he never pays over the odds for a player and will not start with Roque. It is too much of a risk to throw all his eggs in one basket on one man who would have to demand regular first team football to support the amount paid for him. How would Tevez and Shrek feel about that? Could he keep them all happy??

In a nutshell I am saying this. WE value Roque so highly because he plays for our club and we love what he does in a Rovers shirt. That doesnt mean a plethora of clubs are now going to FedEx a £20 million cheque to JW anytime soon.

My first post......keep up the great work mods.

Ince said it himself, a £20 million bid isn't going to happen, not for any of our players.

And if a bid of that size does come in what do we do? Ince made a mistake today in naming that price as its only going to fuel speculation further and send the media into overdrive in order to unsettle the player. A bid of that size is unlikely but it would be foolish to rule anything out in this sport.

Why has there been a change in stance from saying the player isn't for sale at all to £20 million and we will think about?

Complete madness if such a deal happened.

I don't really think it would have mattered what Ince said in terms of speculation, all summer he has been saying Roque is going nowhere, half of the Blackburn team have said the same but still the media run with it. This won't have any impact on the speculation.

It wasn't Roque he was specifically talking about , it was any Blackburn player in general, just a general statement that he doesn't want anyone leaving. Sure he could have picked a slightly higher number such as £50 million but its just another way of saying nobody is for sale.

I can't see anyone bidding £20 million for any Blackburn player regardless of how good he is. We only got so much for Bentley because of the sell on clause.

Even IF someone did bid £20 million for RSC specifically I don't think the club would accept it anyway.
