[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Transfer Topic

[Blue n White Rover]

Barcelona sold him for upwards of £8 million with a 20% clause attached to him.

I think you'll find that Dos Santos was sold first and then Ronaldinho.

So you have a front line of Henry, Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Bojan, Gudjohnsen and Dos Santos, it is no disgrace not to get into the first 11 for them.

Henry played 17 games in his first season scoring 10 league goals, interestinlgy enough he failed to score in his first 8 games- that is the total number of games played by Dos Santos.

I can guarrantee one thing, if not England, then one of the top leagues but Dos Santos will be a top player, he has too much quality not to.

You can't compare him to Henry, he's a proven goalscorer in the best league in the world. Dos Santos has done nothing to prove he is worth a place in the Rovers team, any premiership team for that matter. I'm sure you'd agree with me on that won't you?

Ronaldinho was falling out of love with Barcelona, he had issues with his weight and was under immense pressure to perform at his best constantly. If Barca knew they were going to sell him, they would have kept hold of Dos Santos or added some sort of buy-back clause (like United have with Pique), but they didn't. They are keeping hold of Bojan, as they obviously rate him more than Dos Santos.

What has he done to earn any right to play in the best division in the world? Nothing.

But then again, would Welbeck go before McCarthy, Roberts and a fit Roque?

Im pretty sure that nicko said that this player would go straight into the first XI.

Kuranyi is a better player than Welbeck imo..

[gazsimm]

nicko how far do u think the deal has gone (regarding the new mystery forward), do u think it will be completed within days,weeks or even later?

I don't doubt Coyle's judgement of a player,especially a striker.

Why - because Coyle was a striker himself?

Ince was a midfielder.

[andyroversmad]

Kuranyi is a quality player

Ince was a midfielder.

And look at what he give us in Keith Andrews

Quality

[gazsimm]

i think its darren bent, his mate might of tried to sign him on loan once, but i could be wrong!!!!

[G Somerset Rover]

In my opinion too sergiopeter..I'm just trying to brace myself for a massive dissapointment - and now predict a loan such as Wellbeck. As I say who could burnley have been sniffing around that's far better than zaki or kuranyi?!

[Blue n White Rover]

Kuranyi is a quality player

Based on what?

[Hi Mack]

The player nickos on about could well be sturridge!coyle might have tried a sneaky bid late on in the loan window!

[Guest benmaxwell]

Based on what?

The 43% scoring record he has for club and country?

[RoverRich]

I don't doubt Coyle's judgement of a player,especially a striker. The fact that Coyle thought he may have been prepared to play in a lower league doesn't say a lot about the guys standing though.

My thoughts as well. I really don't get who could be better than Kuranyi who Burnley think they would have a chance of getting. Can't wait until this is out in the open and the name is revealed.

Federico Macheda anyone? I would rather him than Wellbeck.

[Blue n White Rover]

The 43% scoring record he has for club and country?

Goal scoring records mean nothing though. Look at Alves, he had a brilliant scoring record, did nothing in the PL this season. Look at Roque, didn't have the best scoring records in the Bundesliga, but played exceptionally well in his first season.

[HemelRover]

Based on what?

93 goals in 226 (8 seasons- about 28 games each season) games in the Bundesleague for Stuttgart & Schalke. A little bit less than a goal every 2.4 games. 19 goals in 52 international appearences.

Seems a bit headstrong after walking out of a Germany game he was selected for the squad but not picked.

[frosty]

The player nickos on about could well be sturridge!

Could be, but going for him isn't as ambitious as somebody like Kuranyi. Really want to know who it is now....

[Hughesy]

I think I know who it is.... but im not going to say.

[Ewood and I Would]

What's the latest on M'bami? On a free next month, could Givet persuade him to come?

[HemelRover]

I think I know who it is.... but im not going to say.

do you also happen to know the whereabouts of Lord Lucan?

[bats]

I think I know who it is.... but im not going to say.

Would you be impressed if we signed him?

[gbax]

I think I know who it is.... but im not going to say.

You tease!!!

[RevidgeBlue]

If Coyle also enquired about the "mystery target" that would indicate to me taking a young lad off ManUre on loan such as Wellbeck or Macheda.

[BPF]

To continue last seasons theme of "Wonder what an old boy could do for us, welcome Mr Fowler"

How about Andy Cole?

Shearer? Only if he turns down the Newcastle manager job. If he accepts then the thought of him playing for us again is nothing short of madness....

[BPF]

Andrew Cole.

Gets the ball and scores a goal...

[andyroversmad]

I think I know who it is.... but im not going to say.

Hughesy like Bats said are we gonna be impressed ?

[DE.]

I get the feeling we're going to be more "interested" than "impressed" .... hope i'm wrong, but if Coyle thought it was possible to get this bloke to play for Burnley then, with all due respect to Owen, he can't be much of a star. That's not a bad thing, necassarily - so called stars didn't help the barcodes.
