Just seen that too - Best of luck Zurab

Wish him well. He's got on with his job and never complained or feigned injury as far as we know. always did a decent job when he played.

I think we should periodically look back on this thread.

Sam's signings looking impressive at the moment.

Jacobsen - Quality

Givet - Quality

Diouf - Looking better all the time.

Hoilett - Quality (I know he didn't sign him, but he has picked him which is important)

NZonzi - Decent, not really that impressive so far. But in the context of the fee good business.

Jury as yet out on Salgado, Di Santo, Kalinic and Van Heerden. Probably know more about them after the Forest game.

I would say for Sam to emulate Hughes' record he would need Kalinic and Salgado to perform also. If Van Heerden flops (which I fear he may) thats not really that much of an issue. Di Santo, as he is on loan, is not really that much of an issue.

Well done Sam so far.

I would say for Sam to emulate Hughes' record he would need Kalinic and Salgado to perform also.

To match Hughes' record, Kalinic would have to have 2 25-goal seasons and we would have to sell some of that lot for 40 million, neither of which I can see happening.

Linked to another winger:

Blackburn are tracking Benfica winger Fabio Coentrao.

Yeah, can see that, we're short on wing-men.

Just so long as he doesn't play central midfield, we're over-stocked with reliable, always-fit, mercurial central midfielders.
