herbergeehh Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 This was reported last week, but it was from a tribalfootball'ish source and no one else IIRC. Which makes me think it might be untrue. Seitaridis is in the squad, but not starting tomorrow night for Atletico against Almeria, according to their website. On a side note, I'm currently watching Barcelona against Deportivo. They're 3-0 up, and it will be more - they're THAT good.

alexanders Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 On a side note, I'm currently watching Barcelona against Deportivo. They're 3-0 up, and it will be more - they're THAT good. They are FANTASTIC - and Messi is the best player in the world - no doubt !
EwoodGlory Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 According to french canal+ we are going to sign Jean Calve - Nancy right fullback. He's the one I mentioned the other day. Nicko said last year our scouts we're looking at him, the match was on Setanta, so I watched the game and he look pretty good, i was quite impressed. We didn't make the move and went to Nancy and has impressed while there apparently.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Colin Kazim Richards fits all the criteria stated. He had English experience (as well as some international), is young and probably wouldn't cost too much. Doubt it'd be as low as 1m though...
BringOnNextSeason Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 i think the striker in question mite be antony le tallec
alexanders Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I think this guy from Osasuna. Portillo Has the experience from Real Madrid and Fiorentina, but is a bit untried.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Le Tallec isn't a bad shout. Price is right, only 24 and had limited Premier League experience. Not sure he could be described as "exciting" though.
alexanders Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Le Tallec isn't a bad shout. Price is right, only 24 and had limited Premier League experience. Not sure he could be described as "exciting" though. I was the only one saying Exciting. Nicko didn't say that.
spencey7 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Le Tallec isn't a bad shout. Price is right, only 24 and had limited Premier League experience. Not sure he could be described as "exciting" though. I don't think it was Nicko who described the £1m striker as "exciting"... EDIT: Beat me to it alexanders...
Bobby G Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Portillo is important for Osasuna so no way will they sell him let alone for that figure. Le Tallec is just finding his feet again, and doubt he will come back to England after his last experience... Kazim Kazim, hmmm, could be a good shout...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Apologies for the comment about being "exciting", I did have my wires crossed.
spencey7 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Kazim Kazim, hmmm, could be a good shout... It could indeed, but I certainly hope it isn't. Colin Kazin Richards is just "Jason Roberts Lite"; there's no point us buying another striker of that style. I'm hoping for a tricky, CREATIVE forward. But I won't be holding my breath.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I only suggested Kazim because not only does he fit the criteria, he can play as a striker or on the wing (as he did in the Euros to good effect). Two birds one stone perspective.
Pugg Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I asked Nicko about Kazim a couple of weeks ago and he said it'd be a nightmare dealing with the Turks etc. I'm sure he was priced at over 4m too, so doubt it's him.
Hughesy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Apparently we have made a bid for Mackail-Smith who is impressing at Peterborough.
T4E Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Where's that come from bud? I've been very impressed when I've seen him, albeit at a low level. Could be another Stead.
Hughesy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 A bloke I sit next to at Ewood... he is very good friends with Dunny and apparently thats what he told him.
Hughesy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I thought that too. Id never even heard of him really before today. 24, striker, has 18 goals so far this season.
RoverRich Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Not foreign so not Nicko's striker but that doesn't rule out the possibility of it being true as he may be another option. As for Nicko's striker could it be another one of Big Sam's african gems? He does like his african players.
T4E Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I thought that too. Id never even heard of him really before today. 24, striker, has 18 goals so far this season. He scored a hattrick in a Sky game earlier this season, I forget who they played but he was sensational. I thought he was younger than that, but he looks a decent prospect nontheless. EDIT. Just Soccerbase'd it, it was a 5-4 win against Bristol Rovers. Great game.
The Rover of Finland Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Let´s not wait too big name. Didn´t Nicko mention that the new comer is more like a squad player. Where does this leave Derbyshire?
Bobby G Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Is he quick, strong? Whats his style? He isnt the tallest, so I hope he is quick...
nicko Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 STRIKER - Metz's Senegalese striker Babacar Gueye is coming in this weekend. Pulled out of his side's game at weekend, watched by Rovers week before. Price agreed. Usual 'test' arranged but looks like a deal. Tall chap who might have a chance but looks like a squad/sub man at first. RIGHT BACK - Calve has been asked over but there are other right backs being watched this weekend. Calve plays for Nancy and was NOT even in the squad for the game last week when Chretien was due to be watched. Calve's agent heard about this and pushed his player to come over and have a look - while Rovers take a look at him. MAN CITY - Palacios confirmed by Wigan, Bellamy probably on despite Tottenham interest, Roque seems to be on the list but City playing cool.
