[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Transfer Topic

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

We're not going to sign a midfielder. We've got Dunn, Grella, Andrews, Reid, Emerton and N'Zoni who can all play there. If Sam really wanted to invest there, he would have accepted Fulham's bid for Andrews - not tied him down to a four-year contract.

That may all be true and i wasn't saying we need a midfielder. Sam would know better then i but, i think we'd be better off improving our midfield (or defense) then to throw it away on a Pogawhatshisnamewiththeoverinflatedego who's contract runs out before January and have him walk off into the sunset. And Zenit 9mil richer.

Dont get to excited about Di Santo, the guy still lives with his Mum and Dad, and with Pizzaro leaving Chelsea and Shevchenko's contract up soon, i think he will stay at the Bridge.

But what do i know

nicko - is there an 11 O'Clocker?

There will be if I get some news...waiting for a call or two.

That must be some commute.

Not from Cobham its not

[Fife Rover]

Completely and utterly seconded!!

Hells bells can we have a bit of cheer to lift this dirty great rain cloud that's developing?

Lets face it - Sam ain't no messiah but I still think he's the best man for the job given our current predicament. It's no ones fault that from several different perspectives we are barely able to compete with even the likes of (with due respect) Stoke, Sunderland, Fulham, West Ham etc, let alone the Villa's, Spurs and Evertons. We're stuck in a rotten market where unfortunately personal gain, money and greed has almost taken over completely.

Whatever everyones's personal opinion is of Sam (and that's all it is), like it or not we are united by the fact he wants the same thing as us and that's Blackburn Rovers to finish as high up that gluttony infested table next season as possible. It does seem now that frustration is starting to kick in amongst a lot of people (me included)- and rightly so, but I'd bet my last pound that there's no one on this board more frustrated at the moment than Big Sam himself.

We wait, and if the worst happens and we really can't find this superhero striker, without which we will be condemned to certain eternal oblivion in the championship and beyond (if some of this board is to be believed), then we get down to Ewood and sing our hearts out like we always do and I'll tell you what - we'll still be turning over the likes of Spurs & Sunderland, we'll STILL be getting criticised for our "brand" of football, we'll STILL only get two minutes on Match of the Day and come the end of the season we'll STILL finish higher than everyone thinks, we'll STILL be "unfashionable", we'll STILL be skint and Burnley will STILL be waiting to beat us.

I LOVE this club and can't wait for the season to start, striker or not.

Well said Sir!! Mr.Churchill himself couldn't have done better. "We'll fight them on the beaches, and in the fields.....we will NEVER surrender!"

Nicko is that news for us???

Clearly not.

In all fairness though it has been a few more hours since Franco di Santo still hasn't signed for us. This mainly due to the fact that he's on a plane coming back from the US and not having a medical. Why can't Chelsea make the pilot go faster? Anyway he'll stop at Chelsea now, he's bound to. Woe is me. Not that I wanted him here anyway, what's the point on getting a good player in?

Elsewhere, Sam still hasn't signed a RSC replacement. Possibly because he can't find someone who is as injured. Downing would have been a good shout but doesn't offer the physio as much height.

Two weeks to go until the first game. Benni and Roberts are both fit. They weren't at the end of last season were they? Oh no. if push comes to shove we'll just have to push Big Chris up there won't we? Not overly pretty and we might win some games so there is that danger. Unless of course we meet the demands of those pesky Zenits for the POG. Or perhaps we are playing a game of Russian Roulette with them - my money is on Williams - hold your nerve.

if we do that there might be a chance we have some pennies for this new midfield maestro / genius we're going to sign for about £4million (aka "A Grella"). To go along with our other midfeilders: Dunny, Vincenzo, Warnock, Emerton, NZonzi, Van Halen, Pedersen, Keef, Judge, Reidy, Hoillett, Doran and Diouff. We're struggling for numbers in there. Fortunately we have this huge sum of money that can buy a world beater. Oh - if push comes to shove we can stick Gally in there as well apparently - should 12 of the others come down with Swine Flu, which we're bound to get by the way, all of us, at the most inconvenient time as well.

What else? No one applied for the Coach job, no one wants to run the Academy, no one knows about season tickets, no one knows about any of the hospitality events, no one knows the Blues Bar is ever open, no one knows if David Fevre has gone to Man City, the kit manager hs left as well - has he been replaced?

Warnocks off to Villa, Bennis off to McDonalds, Sambas off to City if the other 20 centre halves they have lined up fall through. If City don't want him then he'll go to Spurs. They all go to Spurs. Nelsen, our Captain and leader, has lost his pace, Roberts still can't finish one on one, no one knows how Nick Blackman is getting on in the reserves (mainly because they haven't been playing), burnley were beating us twice in the Masters Pub league, you still can't buy blue and white neck braces in the club shop, that black panel really is poor, as is the away strip which we'll never wear ever, you can't get 300 seats together in the Blackburn End anymore, Sam is still fat, Morten is still crap and has been since 1964.

Be honest - it's just another typical close season!

nicko - is there an 11 O'Clocker?

Thanks for that Bob, perhaps we should lock this thread now, I think you've said it all

I would imagine the chairman is checking that for you right now...

[blue and whites]

haha, good one:P i imagine you don't know then...

[Fife Rover]

As good as your monthly reviews Bob. The site always seemed a happier place when we had the monthly's.

You should never have given them up.

Amen to that!

[Doaksie]

I would imagine the chairman is checking that for you right now...

Is he not busy counting???

Eight million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine pounds, and ninety seven pence,

Eight million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine pounds, and ninety eight pence,

I suspect he's got his feet up with PSP in hand and Football Manager 2009/2010 looking for strikers in his transfer budget.

I hardly call him a gem, more of a very rough diamond that Chelsea want us to polish, so they can take him back I'm sick of this defeatish attitude Rovers fans seem to have come up with "We're just a small club and we only deserve to have players that we can sell them on". Soon it will be "We're just a small club we don't deserve to be in the Premierleague, we can't compete with these big clubs". I don't want us to be a selling club and I don't care that we are a small club, I want us to be punching above our weight and continue to push above our weight. If we finish 6th one season, I want us to finish 5th the next. Not just having mediocore 15th finishes were we just norrowly escape relegation.

But do you know what screw ya, if you want to have another season where we jsut avoid relegation then thats your thing.

What point are you trying to make exactly? If Di Santo is a sucess and scores goals that will get us higher in the league? What about when we send young lads on loan to lower league clubs?

IF Di Santo scores we will finisher higher in the league which = more money and better chance of attracting players.

If Di Santo fails and is a sack of ###### we send him back with no harm done.

Its a win win situation..... but i wouldnt expect owt else from you luke...

Come on that's getting a bit ridiculous. Are they the same people you made a big post about earlier? Stop just plucking names out of the air and expecting nicko to be able to tell you things about them. Stick to Wikipedia and football games.

I think you just complained about posts you dont like

[Captain Spaulding]

Nicko, I've been looking around on the internet and wondered if you knew of the availability of any of these guys:

Ron Jeremy

Peter North

Rocco Siffredi

Steve Drake

Now I hear that all four have good 'scoring' records and also have the added of ability of being able to play 'in the hole'.

I assure you I haven't plucked these names out of thin air or anything....I've done detailed analysis of their work.

Nicko - has John Williams 'had/made' any contact with them?
