I think Chimbonda would be an excellent signing for us. Just the sort of person Sam can get into shape and get focussed. Great at centreback as well as fullback. Can play in midfield if he has to. Bags of prem experience. If we can get him for 2m and to take less wages (is this likely? Hmm...) then a steal.

I'd rather have Civelli, free transfer and likely to be on smaller wages.

Seitaridis would be a better option, but I'd take most people over Chimbonda.

I have to say I'm very sceptical about this story, Sam himself said he wants to make the team more youthful, I don't see how signing Chimbonda does that.

You would think... That's what i have heard has been the sticking point with him coming to Rovers. His wage demands are to high.

Where as offering Chimbonda proper first team football staying in the Premier League would give us room to haggle over his wages...

Yep - another Bentley. Needs to knuckle down and make the place in a team his own again - stop believing all the hype and stick with the club in which he is improving in.

Imagine if we got them both and they both knuckled down. *sigh* what a dream world I live in. :mellow:

Buying Chimbonda could allow Emerton to play in the midfield. Got to be a good thing dont you think

Buying any decent RB will achieve same result....doesn't need to be Chimbonda

I've seen Chimbonda numerous times and i've never rated him, plus he comes with a lot of baggage in terms of ego and off the field antics. Spending £2-3 million of our already small budget would be a complete waste.

nicko has confirmed that we are interested in Chimbonda I think. Could happen. In terms of talent easily the best right back who is available. Shame he is an idiot.

lucash is on a free... didnt sign his contract worth 3 mil a year...

Why he hasn't signed his new contract, is exactly why we should steer well clear... <_<

Am i the only person who doesn't think that goal is all that special.

It was made to look alright by some pretty awful defending.

If i was the Gaffer and i had a player showboating like that, and going for glory, i would drop a bombshell on his head post match...

I tend to agree with Chuck - At 30 years old, and question marks over his attitude, Chimbonda is overpriced at £3m. I'd settle for Seitaridis on a free, instead.

Emerton's best postion is clearly RB though!

I disagree big time. For me he played his best in the central midfield role. He was however a better right back than right winger, he just doesn't have the confidence in his own ability to cross the ball.

Sam wants to lower the squad age. So bringing in Chimbonda may not be the best move, getting in someone younger who has the ability may be a better option.

Personally, I feel that would be a bad thing. Emerton is far better at right back than at right mid, where we have Diouf now in any case.

We should definitely bring in a versatile defender who can play at RB, but Sam should focus his spending power on a CM and a CF. £3m for a 30 year old mercenary on big wages would be awful business, especially when possibly the best player at the club currently plays in that position.

Agreed. His best position is RCM...

Emerton moving out? big injury, age, might happen.

One word. No...

Emerton has bundles of energy so would work well in midfield - HOWEVER id prefer a better centre midfielder to be signed.

Emerton, with Diouf infront of him on the right, could be a very good partnership.
