[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Transfer Topic

[unleaded]

Blackburn on track N'Zonzi

I know for a fact that he is on the wish list...How far down?.............No idea...........

Followed by several French clubs Monaco and Marseille...........................................Stéphane N'Zonzi is a French Youth International and was the only player in the Frech squad from the Lower divisions......................

Pompy wanted him but he decided to stay in France but now its Big Sams turn to talk him into a move to Ewood..........watch this space........

From BBC gossip column:

"Manchester City will expect any club looking to sign out-of-contract striker Daniel Sturridge to pay a £10m 'development fee' to the Blues"

That sounds a bit outrageous and will definitely rule us out of any move for him. Chelsea all the way looks like, if even they are willing to pay that!

Man City are obviously unaware of the transfer tribunal rules.

Is anyone surprised by that?

Oh, and the kid who has yet to play 90 minutes is worth just a bit less than where they rate Roque.

Unreal.

Can we make a fresh start with this topic.

Keep on topic of transfers to and from blackburn rovers! All other transfers in the other thread and all player debate in their individual player topics, and if there isn't one then don't be afraid to start one.

I thought that as well - surely a tribunal wouldn`t set a price tag of 10 million. I would have thought somewhere in the region of 1.5 - 2.25 million would be set given his experience and age.

Would he be willing to come to the likes of Rovers, or does he have his mind set on bigger and better projetcs in term sof Champions League etc

BTW Nicko - just out of interest, what`s the deal with Joaquin, is this raising its head again ?

Michael Owen...........Is now being linked to us!

[Guest benmaxwell]

Another player we were linked to in the past, should have signed, but didn't: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/trans...AZ_Alkmaar.html

Did Nicko say Owen was after this player, ie, Michael Owen: http://www.fansfc.com/story/12295.html

Can't afford his wages and he is a crock.

It'll never happen, just another lazy journalist linking us to departing Newcastle players. I doubt it'll be the last rumour we here about Sam going for his ex-players.

Michael Owen...........Is now being linked to us!

i'm sure i remember him being pleased bs left newcastle

and his wages would be astronomical

[gazsimm]

could not afford Owen's wages plus he is always injured now anyway, his mind his not set on football any more, he prefers how his horses are doing more then football!!

[modes98]

I have removed all the MR X guesses and created a seperate topic. As we get some awful suggestions that don't even meet 1 of the criteria you can guess away on this thread and everyone else can talk the real transfer discussion here.

Mr X guessing game

Well he may have Viera's style but he hasn't got his build. i well remember going to Highbury in the FA cup the season we got promoted and Wenger brought Henry and Viera on off the bench. It was scary just seeing how big viera was. This guy looks as tall but somewhat skinny. Is Sam hoping that when these young guys he's bought/possibly buying get to Lancashire a diet of fish and chips or Hotpot will bulk them up a bit?

This is taken off setanta:

Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers have been watching Bosnia's Senijad Ibricic, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder from Hadjuk Split, and Borisa Pandzu, according to reports in the Balkans.

Wonder is there is any truth in this, sounds like and exciting player:

About our price range...

It would be an interesing policy to go down the route of getting in taented youngsters. It is the basis of what has made Villareal so successful in Spain. However you have to make sure you get it right!

Half-time in Ecuador v Argentina, so seems about time...

Aston Villa definitely planning to come in for Roque. O'Neill desperate to get rid of John Carew to help raise the funds and make space. People working overtime on this one just now to get them into the race - just in case it starts soon.

Good news all round as Villa will make sure there is an auction.

Man City think they have this to themselves just now and are in control.

Not quite.

Yes, that makes sense, Roque is far better at his link up play and with their two quick lads he would be a real plus for Villa, question is, how much???

[Guest benmaxwell]

Not quite.

Spurs are also interested aren't they?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Oh good, we might screw more cash out of City. That's if Martin O'Neill has managed to shuffle over to the phone yet.

Excellent news, with Spurs and Villa interested it means City will have to pay close to our asking price if they really want him.

Surprised that Carew might be going, looking at a few Villa forums he is a bit of a fans favourite. Could this be a suicidal move by O'Neill? after the capitulation in Europe and the severe decline in form for the last 15-20 games of the season just finished I get the impression the fans aren’t that happy with him.
