budha Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Blackburn Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire has joined Greek giants Olympiakos on a six-month loan. He said: "I am excited at the prospect of joining such a big club as Olympiakos and when I found out about the possibility of moving there it was something I looked at. "I saw they were top of the league and I have been told by various people they are the biggest club in Greece with fanatical fans. I know players like Tresor Lomana Lua Lua had a spell there. "I had the opportunity to stay in England as other clubs were interested in me, but I fancied this opportunity to join one of Europe's biggest clubs. It gives me the chance to play in Europe and experience a different culture and I am really looking forward to it." Derbyshire goes to Greece
philipl Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Sam closes the door if not the window. He has told City they are out of time to bid for Roque and he will not be sold in the window now, and echoed on the BBC: Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has told Manchester City they have left it too late to sign striker Roque Santa Cruz.

philipl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Independent- City turn to Tevez as Rovers reject final £18.5m bid for Roque today Nicko's Crouch story suggests Rovers will offer £10m for him. It alsoi says City's 4th and latest bid was under £20m and has been rejected and that Spurs are looking to up their bid of £20m of yesterday although they are offering Bent in part-ex. Independent- Spurs end interest in Keane but cannot afford £22m Roque I would think they could go to £22m if Harry really wants Roque but again the Crouch story breaking probably scuppers that. The advantage of going for Spurs players is that they are on much lower wages than Pompey pay.

philipl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Guardian- City make final offer (explicitly final) of £18.5m- no mention that this is a cash payment either. Ben Haim would be allowed to leave to join Rovers. ie Rovers have to buy him off City. So a poor, sorry, very poor offer from City where it is blatantly clear they are not backing Sparky. The Sun reckon the City 4th bid made yesterday was only £17m and Rovers have rejected it.
philipl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Roque Santa Cruz talking to the Telegraph. Bit of a cheat talking about "my agent" when he could equally say "my Dad" and those lost in translation Paraguayan radio interviews. Other than that I have no quibble about what he says about the Rovers- in fact he is fantastic about the Rovers. Clearly he would go to City if the clubs agree. The significance of this interview is that it must have been taken AFTER the Spurs bid was made/interest was known yet Spurs are not mentioned at all. I suspect the player would say no to Spurs otherwise why isn't there something said to give them a hint of encouragement?
budha Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 BBC: El-Hadji Diouf is set to sign for Blackburn Rovers after passing a medical at Ewood Park on Thursday.
philipl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Sam in the Guardian with some pretty compelling arguments for why he signed Diouf for just £2m
philipl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 BBC video/audio of Hughes talking mostly about Roque- doesn't sound a happy bunny. Video of Sam talking uncompromisingly about City's bid earlier in the day before Diouf had been signed.
philipl Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 And still it goes on! According to the Daily Telegraph, City will make yet another "final" offer for RSC. ...and Spurs are panicking (although the injury is not as bad as was feared when this was written)
philipl Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Sam after the Boro game: Roque wore the shirt today and he will be again next week.
Hughesy Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 City & Tottenham to both offer over £20m on sunday
philipl Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Express- City believe that £20m will get them RSC tomorrow or Mail- City do not have budget approval to buy both RSC and Given Nicko in the People- both Spurs and City to bid big for RSC But Pompey might not sell Crouch. However, Rovers in £1m bid for 18 year old Hungarian winger.
47er Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Came across this on Tribal Football but it is quoting Sunday Telegraph-------says we have a deal with Zenit for Pogrebynyak should Roque go.Can't get link to work!
