[Archived] Transfer Topic The Final Day

[hollowsr]

Sam looking very happy on SSN just now

Said there was nothing in Andy Taylor rumour and says we are done for Transfer Window once Chimbonda signs and Warnock goes. He's not happy about this situation and seems to be re-telling things he hears from above.

Another £6m or so vanishes.

Welcome to the Championship.

What's funny about this?

It was the truth at the time springs to mind.

Please stop posting, I know your aim is to antagonise and provoke other members but its getting ridiculous. I, as many other people on here im sure, have tried to ignore you for a while but its just so irritating to read your posts every page or so and then witness 4/5 members get angry at your comments. I hope im the last to succumb to this and that no one else gives you the satisfaction of responding to your pathetic remarks.

Anyway, im pleased with the business this window. Losing Roque/Warnock and to replace them as we have and to have added so much depth is very impressive. Full marks to Sam. Chimbonda will do a useful job although its a shame andrew taylor isnt happening

Its fan like you who just shouldnt support a club a statment like champuion here we come WTF we couldnt help letting warnock go and we got an amazing deal for cruz we are 10X stroger than last season and were starting with a compitent manager so back up your statment before you make completly pointless and ###### comment you sound like a harm chair supporter eating your prone sandwitches

People like you wind me up so much!

[Sparky Marky]

I'd have thought that Tuncay would have been handy for us...he's having talks with Stoke FFS...

A new Tugay.

Please stop posting, I know your aim is to antagonise and provoke other members but its getting ridiculous.

"My aim" is to hold our club's management to account for decisions which will only take the club backwards! You CANNOT sell someone for £7m, replace them with a £1.5m journeyman and expect the squad to be anything but WEAKER.

THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. If we stand back and swallow this crap we'll be in the Championship before we know it.

Take off the blue-and-white tinted specs and your "SAM IS GOD" t-shirt - We're falling apart.

To be fair Spencey does have a point here if it is just to be Warnock in and Chimbonda out with no other arrivals.

Granted we're spending a fair amount on wages (IMO the squad needs trimming) but you can't keep selling players for huge amounts and replacing them with a 1/4 of that amount.

We've been doing it for years but in the end it will catch up with us. What's the point in selling Warnock for £7-£8 million if Sam doesn't get to spend the whole amount? If he could bring in a midfielder as well as Chimbonda then I'd be all for it, but it's looking unlikely.

[kolobos]

Just a thought......haven't we got space for another loanee??

Could this be how we get our Tugay replacement? There might not be enough money for a signing on fee, but maybe there is enough for some additional wages??

[Manc Rover]

weird interview with Sam on SSN just then. Again appeared very down. Asked whether there was any truth in the Taylor link and he said no tho to be fair he answered no for 3 or 4 questions - perhaps keeping cards close to his chest? I hope so...

He looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp!

don't forget, we got salgado as well. The squad overall is a lot stronger then last season.

Please remind me how much did Warnock cost when we got him from the Liverpool Reserves now...

[spencey7]

we are 10X stroger than last season

That's just completely incorrect.

and were starting with a compitent manager

That's a matter of opinion. More competent that Ince does not automatically mean "competent".

so back up your statment before you make completly points and ###### comment you sound like a harm chair supporter eating your prone sandwitches

I don't mean to be "prone" to "harm", but we have zero points from six, the weakest midfield in the Premier League and our tentpole signing looks like he couldn't score in a brothel.

These are problems. No point ignoring them.

[Manc Rover]

I'd have thought that Tuncay would have been handy for us...he's having talks with Stoke FFS...

A new Tugay.

He would've been perfect for us. Energy and drive from midfield and surely we would've been a better proposition than Stoke. A sign of the times if we cant afford him (if we wanted him in the first place) and goes off to bloody Stoke!!!

[riverside returns]

As has been stated on this messageboard many times, Stoke have a fairly rich benefactor, we dont.

I wish and hope that Spencey expends as much hot air and vitriol at opposing teams on Saturday afternoons at Ewood. !!!!

Granted we're spending a fair amount on wages (IMO the squad needs trimming) but you can't keep selling players for huge amounts and replacing them with a 1/4 of that amount.

We're almost back to square one on our wage reduction plan and have a 30 man squad (excluding loaned out players). If only Sam could get rid of ~5 players permanently, I'm sure there would be some money for transfers but at the moment all the profit from transfers will go to support our bloated squad.

[spencey7]

Please remind me how much did Warnock cost when we got him from the Liverpool Reserves now...

Chimbonda is 30. Warnock was 25 when we signed him.

Are you suggesting that when Chimbonda is 32, someone is going to sign him for £7m?

If we do end up getting relegated it won't be sam's fault the fact is we cannot compete at this level anymore. Clubs our size can't survive in the prem forever. The question is when we do go down will you still support the club if you even do now. By the way who do you want as manager if we had'nt got big sam we would already be in the Championship.

Why do people find it so hard to Understand, WE ARE A SELLING CLUB!!! we have too to survive. All our money goes on wages and keeping the bank happy, in 5 years when all these Billionaires find another sport to keep them entertained you will be thanking god for JW and the trust

Resale, or lack thereof, does not determine the quality of a player.

[Flopsy]

this is no different than what happened under hughes. Either find a new record or shush

Your aim is to be an annoying little ---- (insert what you want here) who people do not like. Every post you do is negative and aimed at causing depression. Are you on anti-depressants or something? I would seriously question your support for Rovers, personally I think your a wind up merchant that doesnt even support Rovers. Iv never heard such a negative 'supporter'. FFS Get a grip of yourself!

Why are we falling apart? Have you considered our team now to the one that Sam took over?

We've been doing it for years but in the end it will catch up with us. What's the point in selling Warnock for £7-£8 million if Sam doesn't get to spend the whole amount?

Maybe the player he wants isnt available?

[spencey7]

If we do end up getting relegated it won't be sam's fault the fact is we cannot compete at this level anymore.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!!

Christ you sound like Allardyce himself.

Resale, or lack thereof, does not determine the quality of a player.

So your point is that Chimbonda is as good as Warnock?
