[Archived] Transfer Topic The Final Day

[nicko]

Nicko what's the chance of a loan deal for emana ?

Slim...he is in a strop...and Betis have turned down £6 million deals.

[rovers1995]

I think Stroke boy has disppeared. I haven't seen him all summer. He's been replaced by Geraint Hughes.

[nicko]

When was the last time we made a deadline day signing - was it Bellamy?

Bellamy signed on July 7 2006...

Mark Bunn in 2008

Stoke Boy is now doing after-match interviews. To be fair, he is quite good at it.

And - above all - we don't have to see his face.

TICKER ADD...

The Bolton-Kamara story on Sky is wrong...they will be signing Klasnic.

[Dunnfc]

Was funny though with four mobile phones claiming peter kenyon is ringing him with chelsea news lmao

Gutted he won't be on.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

He was the kind of chap who pretended to talk on his mobile with a smug face then went bright red when the phone he was "using" started ringing.

wooh ta!

TICKER UPDATE...

Sheff U very hopeful of signing James Harper from Reading for £1.5 million which means the Keith Andrews move won't be happening there...Blades also fending off bids for Matthew Kilgallon from Middlesbrough among others.

[sambo]

What is the name of stroke boy? I have to search him up

Nicko, we knew that Andrews wouldn't be going there anyway mate. We rejected a bid, and gave him new contract, not rocket science.

There is zero Rovers news, it's harsh to lead people on.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Nobody seems to know but the name Andy Burton or something similar rings a bell.

Maybe you want to break that news to your manager...

Are you saying that sam wants rid? why would they have him sign a new contract? can't imagine it would make any difference to the fee...we'd get what we paid.

Sam would sell...John's info yesterday was spot-on...but, as with all players, it is down to the fee.

I will bet there are a few people at the club kicking themselves for not taking the Fulham money. The BIG mistake of the window.

Amen to that.

So was the Fulham bid 100%? Or just an inquiry?

I can understand why we didn't sell at the time as he was one of only two fit central midfielders on the books. Its only Dunn and Grella completing 90 which has changed the picture.

[Sandiway Blue]

The one and only! Tv gold awaits at 4pm.....

Fulham rang and were willing to pay around £2 million. Rovers wanted more.

Well I guess we should of taken it then, but we would have needed a replacement lined up. Not sure who would have fitted the bill. Nolan I suppose?

I think every member of this messageboard including the fans of opposition clubs could have told you that turning down a profit on Keith Andrews was pure madness.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Not much point turning a profit if we can't spend it, is there Modes?

[Sparky Marky]

Course there is...can't belive fulham wanted to buy him....

[modes98]

Not much point turning a profit if we can't spend it, is there Modes?

Equally not much point keeping him if he is rubbish.

If we sold him for £2m, we may get to spend £500k of it

[American]

Not to turn this into another Andrews debate, but we'd have had to replace him with someone else who was willing to play a sub role when everyone was fit and cost less than 1 million to really turn a profit. This was also before we had 10 right backs, so his ability to cover there was important at the time.
