Diouf has rather strangely not written off leaving Rovers: http://www.setanta.com/Uk/Articles/Footbal...ure/gnid-57088/

Unlikely - he did a good job for us last season and added some balance and grit to our team when we needed it - Job done!

If he was to move on, Sam would replace him with Emerton id imagine.

Sounds like you have the same feeling about Diouf that I do. If he stays - ok, if he goes - ok.

There was no doubt that he had a positive impact on our season - and was probably one of the reasons we stayed up. However - he does seem to have lost the ability to beat a man - and at times his sometimes aggresive nature seemed a liaibility. If we cashed in to the tune of approx £3m - I wouldn't be too disappointed.

I just think he is commenting on the nature of football (and how little contracts actually mean nowadays) rather than wanting out. One thing I did find funny though is how he kinda implies he's better than Drogba based on boos :D

Interesting that Diouf is already doing his badges - unlike a certain Mr Ince.

Didnt read the article earlier - but it looks like he is happy at the moment and isnt considering leaving. He is just being realistic when he says our manager is ambitious and wants a good team (i.e. he could replace diouf).

Like David said - its a tough one - il be happy if he stays, however for good money he could as easily go. Until we have a replacement however, he stays for me!

If we want to look at left midfielders based in France who are available and worth a gamble then we should look at Obertan at Bordeaux. He's vying for a move away and after being loaned out in January is probably still surplus to requirements in a very talented Bordeaux midfield. He's a central midfielder who has impressed out wide. 20 years old, tall, quick, two-footed, creative and a good dribbler. He's a player we should look at.

Good shout eddie.

Probably that trip to Dubai that he had to cancel when he took the job?!

As for Keith Andrews - £4m+ and we should sell him.

Sam went to Dubai at the tail end of the season in an international break.

If someone bids £4M for keith andrews, I'd assume we were the victim of some Jeremy beadle like show.

if they made the trip i'd presume they are after one of ours........warnock???matty????????

Or he could be popping in to see his friend JW because he happens to be in the area. there must be hundreds of reasons why he, if it was him, could be at Ewood. well, perhaps hundreds is an exaggeration but several.

They only paid 2.5 million euros for him

I recon we can get him for 4 million

Firstly he was signed from a Swedish team, they don't have the muscle to get true market value. And since that move he's scored 38 in 61 games (According to Wiki), he's made his debut, and scored, for the national team, and is wanted by all the big clubs in Holland. As well as some abroad, IIRC it was Lazio who were showing the most interest.

Now, if you were in Groningen's shoes, would you sell him for £4m? I think not.

You probably said the same about Maceo Rigters, look how he turned out

Awesome. Yet another member of the "In the past we signed another player who has one or two things in common with a guy we're looking at now and he didn't turn out well, therefore this guy must be crap too"-brigade. (That brigade is unlikely to ever get far, hard to print that on a t-shirt...). Not saying he'll be a success, but in league play, Berg's goals:games ratio is about EIGHT times higher than Rigters.

I wouldn't want David Silva if he was offered to us on a free btw, we all know how well Javi de Pedro turned out!
