[Archived] Sam's January Targets

[47er]

Would love to see Hoilett, play up front with Kalinic. Have Dunn in behind them, and Basturk and Mgp in central midfield. Olsson on the left and Emerton down the right. Only problem, is that there wont be an defensive midfielder in there.

Robbo

Chimbonda Nelsen Samba Givet

Emerton Basturk Mgp Olsson

Dunn

Kalinic

Oops, no space for Hoilett. Unless Bert goes to right back, and Hoilett to right wing.

I still think right-back is Emerton's best position. So I like that 2nd line-up. Won't happen though.

Or let´s just play 12 man! MGP is playing support man role now. Dunny was CM against Villa and probably tomorrow if plays. Hoilett is a bit over rated by Rovers fans. Doesn´t mean I wouldn´t like him staying.

No Rovers player is deserving of a boo. Its cowardly and achieves the opposite result to the one intended. Keith gives 100% alright but of what? No way does he have Pedersen's talent.

I think what Brian is getting at, is exactly what you saying about Mgp. Andrews, we no his capabilities and we no he is no where near as talented as Mgp. This is the reason, why Brian mentioned that Mgp should get more stick than Keef. We know he is talented, its just that he has not looked like he is interested anymore.

The floor is yours Nicko. Step forward sir.

[nicko]

BEATTIE...the door is open again...depends if Rovers want to go through.

BENJANI...apparently Sunderland can have him for £500,000...that whole business may have to be vetted thoroughly...on, off, on again...some very odd agents involved.

ADAM...know Forest like him, possibly Middlesbrough, nice player but a bit slow.

MORTEN...hear he wants out...but not sure where to go...figures.

Saving some of the best gossip for Sunday as we will have a Terry-Bridge fest in the papers tomorrow.

[Hi Mack]

Nicko is unavailable tonight but hes told me to add this:

RONALDO unhappy at Real Madrid, Big mates with Big Sam possible part ex involving Keith.

ROBERTS subject to a 42M bid from city.

all the others are just ridiculous and ot worth mentioning! XD

Nothing on foreign striker? Mr. X#106

[BPF]

Anyone else wondering how this could possibly all happen by Monday?

[Fylde Coast Fan]

I wouldn't mind Benjani for £500k if his wages were reasonable. He's not an improvement on anything we have but if you want cover you could do much worse.

[greco]

nicko, since we have to sell, before we buy, do you know if there´s players on the way out, besides gamst that is..?

City only pays reasonable wages! Players just love their club too much to leave it even if without game time.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

The fact that we're not making any serious moves for Beattie is encouraging, sounds like he is a last resort. Still hoping for something exciting to come from out of the blue to make the second half of the season more watchable. Shame about morten wanting to leave but its understandable.

straight up by all accounts....

[DeadlyDirk]

Can anyone confirm if the 42m for Roberts is likely to be in installments or paid upfront? Unless were getting it upfront I'd be tempted to say no, don't think it's worthwhile otherwise.

WHAT????

Roberts isn't going to Citeh for 42m at all?? I can't believe that was a joke, it seemed so genuine!

Oh well at least Ronaldo's coming I guess.

[Iceman]

Daily Mail, says that Roberts is in talks with Wolves. Dont have the link, but 2mill is the fee apparently.

Nicko has confirmed it is 40m up frontwith the rest coming after Roberts has scored 3 goals. That is the stumbling block as Rovers want 42M up front!

ps. he cant have taken it seriously.............can he? XD

[47er]

I dont think we need any more cover at left back. Givet, Jacobsen, Chimbonda, Olsson and Emerton can all play at full back if needed. I reckon a pacy, tricky winger is on the cards, i hope Ibricic.

We need somone who can work with the strikers along with the likes of Hoilett, Pedersen and Dunn. With Pedersen playing in the middle it only really leaves Hoilett and Diouf as wingers with maybe Olsson as well.

I agree on not needing another striker. As it stands, Sam's version of 4-5-1, which is more akin to a 4-3-3, doesnt really require another out and out striker.

Only one of those players is left-footed though.

Early contender for post of the year.
