[Archived] Nicko's January Rumour Mill

[RibbleValleyRover]

Heard rumours about us taking Darren Bent plus less than 5mil for RSC Nicko, any truth in that?

No thanks.

That deal would never happen because of the figures you mentioned.

I heard Spurs were willing to pay £20 million cash...no players.

If Rovers wanted one of their players that would be different.

Not sure Bent would fancy it or Sam would fancy him.

May be more on this subject later.

I wonder how we will line up as I am unsure whether Diouf really can play right side in a 442? I can see us playing three up front.

Suppose we'll have to see, but one thing that we can all agree on is that if anyone knows how to get the best out of Diouf, then its Big Sam.

Im all for the signing if it happens.

[Bobby G]

What about Bentley and 10 million? That wouldnt be the worse deal, especially if we use the cash to get Pogrebnyak or Janko...?

Need a striker...not a right winger.

Somebody else seems to be coming for that role.

[MarkBRFC]

Don't know why i keep seeing Bentleys name being mentioned, not in a million years would he come back here.

[Woodsy1]

I personally don't think Bent is a bad player, he just needs to be no1 all the time and I think he would work well along side Roberts. News on Bent or RSC and Spurs Nicko?

Will Santa want to join Spurs though?? If he does then Rovers should at least ask for Bent or Bentley in the deal plus 10 or 12 million cash.

I don't want this dirty spitting wife beating player at my club, it shouldn't always be about football when signing players if they have constantly had so many second chances and continued to dissapoint people. He would have been locked up for half the things he had done if he wasn't a footballer. Spitting on a ten year old boy, hitting his wife, it makes me sick.

I will continue to support the club the same as always because no player will be bigger than the club but the sooner he leaves the better. Let's hope this is all just a wind up and he never comes in the first place.

There is no point comparing this to Savage and Todd, they may have been unfriendly players but this guy is disguting, what has our club become? Thanks for nothing Sam you fat fool!

Any positive news nicko? Barton signed yet? Shipman as new club doctor?

You like watching championship football then DIRK because if we kept hold of Ince that is were we would be playing our fooball next season, at least under Sam we have a chance of staying up and if that means signing Diouf then so be it.

[LeChuck]

Diouf released without charge over assault allegations.

I could be wrong, but I think he just spat in to the crowd because he'd been getting stick and it hit a 10 year old. Not that that's much better, but it is slightly.

I can't believe how out-of-proportion this is becoming. It terms of what's he's actually done (and been proven for doing so), it's not actually that bad. There are plenty of people in the Premiership who have done worse, some of whom have played for us in the last few years.

He hasn't done anything for a good few years either, maybe he's grown up from those days.

HAHA the most idiotic post of the year goes to.......

Sam will get players he needs.He is no fool!u make me laugh!

[gazsimm]

Nicko Leeds have put a price tag of 5million for Delph, Fulham apparentley intrested in him any news rovers might be looking at him. He might be what we need in midfield with the injurys e.t.c.

[disgruntled]

Where have the club summoned up £5m from?

[mckenny16]

Yaaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnn

Haha, that is exactly my opinion. What a melodrama. I might was well go and watch the Gilmore Girls instead.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

And who's said they are not going to attend games in the last 2 or 3 pages? Who's said they are going to do anything against him. Temptation is one thing. Acting on it is another.

When we were first linked with Diouf at the beginning of Jan there were a few people who said that they would stop going to Ewood. Im sure these were hollow threats like you say but its just the fact that he is one player. He is not bigger than the club.

Ultimately he is a better player then Derbyshire and Sam has been known to get the best out of him.

Lets get one thing straight - Darren Bent is crap.

[jim mk2]

Lets get one thing straight - Darren Bent is crap.

Let's get it straight - Bent is potentially a very good player.

All he needs is to settle down at a club and be the No 1 striker like Carlton Cole has blossomed at West Ham.

Rovers would be ideal for Bent and vice versa, but I doubt if either party sees it that way.

Leeds want £8 million.

Forget that one.

You must take up sports psychology - you got his future mapped out in a mere three sentences........... then again, you could always be wrong

Bent (in my humble opinion) is over rated, over paid and over valued.

[malk]

I don't really want Diouf playing for the club but he is certainly no worse than Bellamy and I find it a little off to compare either of those players to Savage who, bar for being a niggly so and so on the pitch, came across as a decent bloke.

I agree.

Spurs is not a great club to develop talent. I think Bent could flourish at a club like ours. Although he is on ridiculous wages.

[imy9]

As stated before about Diouf, we have had Bellamy, Todd etc who have come with plenty of baggage.

Lets judge the player on what he does for Blackburn Rovers FC. If Sam thinks that he can improve the squad (which I think he can) then surely we should support the player and manager in his decision?

[gumboots]

I agree.

We can't afford for him to find his form with us at the moment. We'd be better off sticking with santa Cruz who knows us, the club, the players, the area and if last night is anything to go by could be on his way to discovering his form. If Bent came and took 4 or 5 games to even begin to look half the player that we know santa Cruz can be we could already be relegated or as good as.
