At last some intelligence returning to the thread!

pfft. what's the worse that could happen? santa cruz, who has neither been playing of late nor performing all season, leaves on deadline day. we take a striker on loan if need be. some people on here (not directed at you, phil) sound like there's an empty seat at the local WI meeting with their name on it

If any of our cross-Channel chums can explain his lack of action it would be well-received.

Gueye was injured quite badly in an international game a while back and that kept him out on-and-off for a bit and was the cause of a bit of controversy as he was very publicly critical of the player who made the challenge if I remember correctly.

He's certainly not a player who's had an injury plagued career. He's also struggled a bit for form recently and Metz have quite a few options up front (relative to the standard of the league in which they play).

I don't think his fitness would be too much of a concern. He probably lacks a slight amount of match-fitness at this moment in time but he shouldn't be carrying any serious injuries and I'd think he could go straight onto the bench for a game.

Our Newcastle office are adamant a bid is in from Ashley for Bruce. Audacious. Surely not? Mind you would be a genius move and Wigan are all but safe....

Nicko, you heard anything on this?

My housemate is a Newcastle fan and is very interested to say the least. Lol.

Also, has the Cretien bid been completed dropped in favour of others now?

Newcastle going for Steve Bruce was in a paper on Sunday but it is an old rumour that Bruce has always been happy to fuel.

I don't think the Toon could afford his transfer fee, could they?

Rovers still have not found their right back...so Chretien is very much a possible...even if his understudy has taken the chance of coming over here to prove he is as good - and cheaper.

Blimey, SSN will be beside themselves. More sensationalist crap after declaring Citeh a big club with the signing. I read on teletext Citeh fans calling Man United fans jealous after this years' 'worlds best player' was apparently leading a relegation threatened club to Champions League glory. Hmmmmmm.......................

I think RSC might be back on. What is the deal with Sturridge? Will he sign a new contract, or might he be used as bait for RSC?

REeally! thats lovely! not many players do that anymore. respect to Kaka!

and i still think the friedel/robbo deal was great. friedel is good yes, but what would we do when he retires? now we got one of the best keepers in the league (he is getting better and better every week) for almost nothing. great deal. period.:)

how much have rovers spent this season? anyone know? (net spending)

Sorry - though I think Robinson could end up being an adequate replacement for Friedel - he isn't getting better every week. It is just that the defence is better - combined with us playing weaker opposition. Until he comes for the ball at crosses and corners in the same way that Friedel did - he has a way to go before he truly replaces Brad.

Don't watch much Ligue 1, but I guess your opinion is that Calve is as good as Cheritien? Could you explain what he's like, how he plays, if he offensive minded? Anything really Eddie. Just shed some light on them both if you can.

He's slightly more balanced as a full-back in that he is the better defender of the two in my mind. He is slightly less of a threat going forward, although not by too much, but he is far less likely to score. Basically he does the better job of fulfilling the role of a full-back, but he may not always be as eye-catching. They're both young players so I think signing either one of them would represent good business.

they are obviously very different, and friedel does probably concede less goals, but he dont take part of the attacking part of the game like paul does. would we have won on saturday if robinson didnt kick long on the second goal? he almost got himself an assist there. thats vital as much as not letting in goals. i think given time, robinson will be a real favourite.
