[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Transfer Topic

[joey_big_nose]

Bit depressed about this bit of the LT piece:

"But while he would get a proportion of any Santa Cruz transfer fee, a chunk of it would be demanded by the bank to pay off some debts, meaning Allardyce might have to shift his plans for the money he had set aside elsewhere."

same old same old!

I hope the "demanded by the bank" -part doesn't mean that we don't want to sell RSC because we'd have to give the bank it's share.

[Shabani]

If i won some money and the bank came round asking for early payment of debt, i'd tell them to f*** off!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

He is not.

Was he before, then? Something about Wolves, maybe?

Most teams operate in their overdraft. The money comes in and the bank reduces the overdraft limit. That's how they recoup the debt.

We should just make sure we get paid in cash...

I don't sit on fences...I crush them.

A barbed wire fence, alan?

That's what the prem is, isn't it?

Not for the Great Man.

More like a tightrope to the promised land.

Why does no-one rate Cisse,he's from Marseille and he's available that means we are in for him! A fit RSC and Cisse would be a tremedous parnership. That team is strong in the air at the back and up front which sam would like, dont think this team would get bullied much around the EPL next year.

Cisse looks the part, but has has never been able to score consistently in the Premiership. The Jones/Cisse partnership looked like it could work for a while, but never really did. There's no reason to think he and Roque (who could well be leaving) would be able to make a good partnership.

I think it could be Kris Boyd from Rangers

The other scotish player I could think of who Nicko said his mate fancied was Derek Riordan.

[Gally]

Boyd seems to fit the bill but does he really strike anyone as a Big Sam player? goal scorer but very little else.

[LeChuck]

It can't be Boyd, one of the main clues is that no-one knows he's available - every man and his dog knows that Boyd has been available from Rangers for quite a while now. Birmingham were very close to signing him in January.

[begresko]

Does anyone know who the dutch striker is that hull are after? Just out of interest. Phil Brown said at a question and answer session that there were close to a dutch striker and everyone would be impressed...

Instantly i thought J Vennegor of Hesselink. Well at least it would meet 50% of that comment

There's more to it than just that. There's a couple of things that would make him a possible signing for next season:

1) He's available

2) He's available on a loan (i.e. no risk)

I disagree that he can't score goals consistently in the Premiership - He will guarantee at least 10 goals per season. Now don't get me wrong, he's not my number 1 choice, but for all the factors involved, he represents a 'safe' signing, shouldn't cost too much (loan fee and wages) and would add some pace to our squad. Plus I think he's a good friend of Diouf if I remember right.

[LeChuck]

2) He's available on a loan (i.e. no risk)

He'll be on big wages and the loan fee would be in excess of £1 million. I honestly don't think he's worth it.

Tugay owns a Black Bentley

So does Benni McCarthy - massive chrome wheels and plenty of bling.

Surprised Ince didn't try playing him on the right wing.

[Hughesy]

Everton to join MBami chase, they always seem to follow our links

As usual!!

Its not Boyd - Nicko doesn't rate Boyd. Another example of his shocking judgement of a footballer.

The other scotish player I could think of who Nicko said his mate fancied was Derek Riordan.

If Riordan is better than Kevin Kuranyi then Keith Andrews is the next Iniesta.

[Bennisfromheaven]

If i remember correctly Nicko made the comment about coyle being interested as an off the cuff remark, Im sure if the two were discussing Lionel messi, Coyle would say he fancies him!! (not in the Biblical sense!?! .....although he is a Dingle!!)

Therefore, Im sure this could be anyone & the Burnley link should not be read into too far!!

[T4E]

As someone said, Nicko didn't say anything about Burnley, he said Coyle had tried to sign him once. He has managed other clubs as well.

If it was when he was at Falkirk or (more likely) St. Johnstone then this is going to be very hard to guess.

Scott McDonald?

[Gally]

Steven Fletcher? maybe in January he wanted him for Burnley.

Could be, but his name has been bandied around so much recently that I wouldn't think he fits into the 'no-one knows he's available' criteria.

You guys really under rate Kevin Kuranyi! Mystery guy is better than him said Nicko. If it´s not Rooney he isn´t British.

Hes probably faster than the white one!?!
