unleaded Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Rothen On his Way! The PSG Midfieder is set to arrive on Monday until wednesday............No idea why for 2 days..........Played in a researve game today............I think Rovers need a Yebda kind of a player then a Rothen Type.......But at least its a Midfielder........ Rovers also had scouts tonight at the Lens-Bordeux game....no idea who they were watching unless its the Morroccan as a "Just in case".....for the hearing on Monday.......

I just don't think Rothen is what we need. Got to have trust in Sam's judgement though - would like to know the thinking behind it.
braddock Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 what? this is the transefer topic isn't it? and since there are other people around who can provide us with information i figured it was worth an ask
saxo1man30 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Rothen On his Way! Rovers also had scouts tonight at the Lens-Bordeux game....no idea who they were watching unless its the Morroccan as a "Just in case".....for the hearing on Monday....... i think that`s exactly what they were doing. i detect rovers aren`t entirely confident that this work permit will be given, and if so they`ll have to move fast and pay big to secure a differant player. i think a lot hinges on this work permit, if it goes through there`ll be extra money available to strengthen the midfield, but if not, it`s likely all our funds will have to be spent on a striker(who`ll cost a lot more than kalinic).

Hmmm. I am not sure Chamankh is going to sign for us though as he knows Arsenal are interested. That would be a really tough one to pull off.
imy9 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 http://www.imscouting.com/global_news_item.aspx?id=2788 Any of our French based boarders know of this guy? Nantes midfielder Aurelien Capoue. According to the link he is due in on Tuesday and will be signing on a loan til the end of the season. Described as "Very good dribbler with technical ability and good speed"
S15 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 We're so skint we can't even afford airfare further than France. On the plus side Sam is certainly determined not to see MGP this season, which can only be a good thing.
G Somerset Rover Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 We're so skint we can't even afford airfare further than France. We probably take the eurostar! Edit: This French guy - I know he has a younger brother Étienne Capoue..pitty we can't be after him as he's awesome.

Described as "Very good dribbler with technical ability and good speed" We could do better, but alas its a midfielder. A few more will have to go on loan, if Rothen and Capoue comes in. Il be delighted with Chamakh, if Kalinic doesnt get a work permit

Nantes midfielder Aurelien Capoue. According to the link he is due in on Tuesday and will be signing on a loan til the end of the season. Described as "Very good dribbler with technical ability and good speed" Hmm, can play left back and left wing.... wonder if Pedersen or Warnock are being lined up to be sold? Pre season suggests that Sam has his doubts about Pedersen.
Iceman Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Pretty sure this was one of our scouts returning home last week! Lol. Its realy bad the finances at Ewood hahaha one of Warnock or Pedersen might be on their way. If we bring Rothen and Capoue in, then the squad becomes too big again. Rothen to play left winger, with Capoue and Nzonzi in central midfield and Dioufy down the right. Chamakh/ Kalinic and Benni up front.
47er Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 At right back?!? And he scored!! with his right foot
spencey7 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 We need Pedersen if only for his (albeit intermittent) quality from set pieces. I can't see Allardyce getting rid of our best free kick taker, especially given the emphasis his teams put on them. Aurelien Capoue is a 27-year-old Guadeloupean international (4 caps) who was relegated to Lique 2 with Nantes last season. Is this reallly the level we're at now? Surely that story is rubbish.
nicko Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 11 o'clocker back tonight...sounds like you are ahead of most of the game anyway... Cheers for the kind words, by the way. Means a lot.
owenrilla Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Sam on Rothen “Jerome Rothen is of an interest to us but he is a left sider and I don’t feel as though we need strengthening in the wide positions. “Left and right we are pretty strong. Brett is on his way back, we have Dioufy, Elrio, Morten, young Junior who looks bright. “From that point of view I don’t think that is priority.” LET Is Capoue definitely a left-midfielder? EDIT: Sorry if this looks like I am asking Nicko a question as soon as he came back - I was already typing it before he posted
rovers1995 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Thank you Nicko, and once again condolences. Is the 11 o'clocker good for us or bad? Have you heard yet whether Kalanic has won his appeal?
Backroom Tom Posted August 10, 2009 Backroom Posted August 10, 2009 Good to have you back Nicko, hope all is well.
colbert Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 11 o'clocker back tonight...sounds like you are ahead of most of the game anyway... Cheers for the kind words, by the way. Means a lot. Good to see you back, my condolences to you and your family, never a easy time.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Welcome back Nicko. My condolences to you and your family.
