Say what you will but think we could do worse than signing Barry Ferguson for the reported million he is available for. Was a decent player for us in the past, his only 2 problems were that Souness billed him as a 'Keane or Vieira' but he is not, more of a deep laying quick mover of the ball. Secondly, was never worth 7.5mil, not his fault again. Would be ideal imo.

I would agree, but he hasn't been the same since the injury he had for us. He was just starting to hit his stride and show he was near the quality of Scott Parker (a similarly priced midfielder at the time).

Hello girls (bazza and American)!

Little problems of Santa's clause and agent cuts and signing on fees and bank overdraft...

Your points are valid but with the Santa AND Derbyshire monies together Philip if Sam doesn't get the best part of around 15 Million to spend then many of us should be asking serious questions as to where the hell the money is going dont you think!

If Tevez is going to City along with Eto and RSC (hopefully passes his medical at City), does logic not suggest that our second striker is more than likley going to come from there? City cannot keep 5 great strikers (Bellamy and Robinho) in front of Danny Sturridge.

I think the most likley outcome will be that Rovers will go for 3 strikers (1 with a fee, one through tribunal and one on loan.) I wouldn't be surprised to see Zigic, Di Santo and Sturridge turn up up at Rovers. I see that money coming to about £10m (incl. tribunal)

Midfielders - no idea, but I think its going to be some Egyptian given the amount of scouting we have done.

I also think Julio Santa Cruz will get a go along with Hoillet (work permit depending) next year.

Failing that... Bent. Good player IMO, but had a rough ride at the spuds.

Right-back- Civelli for free as cover. would start Emerton though and use Nelson and Civelli as subs.

Defensive Midfield- Barton or Ferguson- cheap 1.5m, someone who can pass the ball a wee bit in midfield.

Attacking Midfield- Has to be Emana from Betis guy is class, scored 9 goals from midfield last year for a ###### team, 6million.

Strikers- Di Santo(loan), Holiett if we can, Cisse going cheap apparantly 5million. Tailed off a bit last at sunderland after the Keane ordeal,but was scary good before all that.

Might as well close this thread. If Nicko is to believed and Davies is Sam's 'number one target' then it means he won't get more than a couple of million to spend this summer. The fact that after signing Givet, the best we've been linked with is Di Santo and Rothen, would appear to support this assessment.

Don't worry lads! Kevin Davies to the rescue!

Oh christ here we go!...where's the money gone boss :angry2:

I'm sure I read somewhere the bank has said some of any money that come's in on sales of players must go to pay off some of the club's debt...

No, no it doesn't. He's spent 3.5 already, Davies will be at least 4 million and Rothen will be a fee plus decent wages. We're talking about 100k a week in wages probably, possibly more and at least 9-10 million in transfers if all of that were to happen. That's a decent chunk of money right there and the side will not have been improved at all.

Rubbish as usual.The side has been improved by the signing of Givet. There's also the impending Di Santo loan. We've "lost" Santa but we hardly had him anyway. As for the rest we have to wait before we make any judgement. If we are talking about 100000 a week in wages its not net is it? We've got several players off the wage bill and more to come----Mokoena, Derbyshire,Villanueva and Santa Cruz--how much would their wages be? Any possibility of a balanced view from you?
