[Archived] Blackburn Rovers Transfer Topic

[Bazzanotsogreat]

This thread is highly amusing.

We have moved from being excited about the prospect of flogging RSC for lots of money to the excitement about having lots of dosh for a new striker to certain posters getting orgasmic about strikers they probably have never seen in the flesh or seen much of on TV.

Ooh Janko, oh Kenwyne etc etc

The one certainty is that whoever we sign will be rubbish compared with RSC.

Can you please corroborate such a sweeping statement? Bellamy went and was replaced- RSC can be replaced.

[DeadlyDirk]

Surley we would have made a move for him by now, im sure sam will find better

Could be a possible one though coincidentally at the same time nicko thinks BFS has made up his mind, might be having one last look at him before going in for him?

I'd settle for him to be honest, yes Sam could do better but he could do a lot worse.

I still think that Roberts and Benni are a decent strike force with the backup of possibles Di Santo and Vieri as well as Gallagher, Diouf and Samba so it's not as though our premiership fate relies soley on this signing.

I'd rather we spend 6-8m on a striker like Janko and look at perhaps getting a quality midfielder in instead of blowing it all on one striker, unless of course he pulls of a major coup, then I'll let him spend what he likes, he is the manager after all.

Is Joe Blow any good? 6 foot 9 perhaps? Sign him up Sam. On a serious note, i agree. We should have a striker at our pre season training camp, getting use to the feel of his new team mates. Maybe we should just sign Katie Anderton :-) or whatever her name is[/b

Eeeeeeeeek! Don't say things like that......next thing we know all the feminist agitators will be lobbying for every football team to have 5.5 female players.

With the exception of Cardoza, every striker name in this thread is inferior to RSC.

If I remember correctly; you were not particularly pro RSC when we signed him. Gignac, RVN, Jones, Cardozo are all IMO at least on par with RSC. RSC - I believe, although a very good player will never be a 20+ season man (on a regular basis).

[vintageadidas]

I'm quite interested in seeing Janko at Rovers.....i like the unknown factor that comes with him. Just because he plays in the Austrian League DOES NOT make him a bad player.

Many good players have come from lesser league and been very successful. I have seen the lad play a few times and was pretty impressed with him. It does depend how much he wants it but he certainly could be a success in the Premier League.

RSC - i was about as excited as getting another pair of socks for Christmas when we signed him. I had heard of him but never watched him, he was injury prone and had scored a total of 15 goals in three season....BUT he turned out to be a very good signing.

Bentley was awful at Norwich and i mean awful....he developed into a cracking player. It is down to the management in most cases and i beleive BFS is a good motivator.

[Plastic Head]

The one certainty is that whoever we sign will be rubbish compared with RSC.

Let's take "Rubbish" as a subjective term for now.

In the same way perhaps as rubbish that is rubbish to you and me may be a of use to a Dingle bin-searcher on Nelson high street.

Irish Keith is "rubbish", but as he played regularly in a team that finished above 5 other teams it could be said that he is less rubbish than 10 or more other centre midfielders in the Premier League.

So if we buy a rubbish centre forward who scores 5 goals (more thar RSC got last season) and we finish 14th rather than 15th then he could well be considered to be "less rubbish" than Roque, if you get my drift.

OK Philip.......

with all due respect - every player mentioned on this thread is more use to Rovers than a player who didnt want to be here and was happy to collect 50k a week and never be fit to play for us because of this. Sam is not neccasarily replacing RSC, as he never had RSC in his team much in the first place

27 games.. 6 goals.. obvious disinterest in Rovers.. I don't think he was that great for rovers last season.

And I don't see why we cant find a gem out there.. football is a gamble, when we landed RSC I don't think too many people could have anticipated how good he would be in his first season.. any signing we get will be like that hit or miss.

I've seen both of TV and the latter in the flesh. You could have picked a better player than Jones for your example.

To replace RSC isn't difficult, getting a player that is fit is a start then scores above 10 goals. Job Done.

RSC was talented but that is the best you can say, he has only had 1 amazing season in his career.

[Fife Rover]

Hope that Birmingham feels more like home to him.

Could it be more to do with big Eck being the manager there? Wee Barry was always big Eck's favourite, and just recently that nasty man that manages Rangers now said wee Barry would never play for Rangers again after wee Barry sat in the stand at the last Scotland match and made naughty gestures at the Scotland manager.

Agree with you Philipl - but Kenwyne is a bad example to use, most people will have known about him from his Southampton days before his premiership moves, hence him being seen in the flesh at the grounds and on TV.

Agree with the principle though.

Is that games or goals or both?

Not at Citeh he won't. he'll not get enough starts !

Roque went for £18 million, the replacement will cost an absolute maximum of £10 million. It's pretty obvious he won't be as good...yet.

[Kelbo]

We must not compare!!

When you sell a player, a decent player, directly they cannot be replaced as such but can be replaced by a player of a diferent type, ie, Santa/Benni for Bellamy,

we never replaced Bellamy for Pace but you replace them in different ways!

£10 million to replace an £18 mllion player would indicate you are not getting as good a quality, that is not neccessarily so, suppose with Di Santo and a new striker the amass 24 goals between them?? or with the delivery from wide positions (from Jacobson) which I know he is very capable creates another 5 or six goals!

We are looking at replacing one player but if Sam creates what he normally does, a team, then Santa Cruz has been replaced.

If Sam gets the tye of player he wants and the team play the system he wants, despite the replacement not being individually as good as Roque, as a team we have replaced him and will be even more succesful!!

Its a team game!!

Together Everyone Achieves More!!

I absolutely agree. It's been all downhill since we sold Big Al. We never oughter 'ave done that. Said so at the time an' I'm stickin; to it.

In my humble opinion we would still be top of t'League if we still had Shearer.................................

[Iceman]

You do have a point, but as long as he has a cool name I'll live. Doctor Khumalo should be available :-)

Hey Doctor Khumalo was ace. Creative midfielder, good dribbling and a good passer.

Just watching the game Janko is playing in tonight and he isn't doing too badly. Won a penalty about five minutes ago but he had it saved by the keeper.

just been subbed!!!!

[Kelbo]

Just a point to remember here!1

Look at Alan Shearers goalscoring record before he signed for Rovers, not too good was it!! (13 goals 118 appearances!!)

You can see things in players if you play to a system and to their strengths!!
