what has happened to Andy Van Der Meyde? is he still with the team, or has he left?

Good question!

In terms of Sam's priorities, in order, I would say:-

1) Dunn's new deal

2) Extending Di Santo's loan (or even signing him!)

3) New Hoilett deal

4) Left winger/Pedersen sale (one linked to the other)

5) New McCarthy deal

6) Left back

7) New central midfielder

Lots going on there.... plus these youngsters as well which makes things interesting...

Do we not have faith in Givet at LB? Chimbonda also does a cracking job as cover. I'm not sure how we could keep another decent left back happy at the club. Our back line of Givet Nelson & Chimbonda/Jacobsen is a good back four. With Olssen, Jones, Gunning & Salgado with Zurab out on loan as cover and Bert more than capable of helping out at the back I'm not sure it's much of a priority when you look at our commercial restraints.

I'm sure the McCarthy saga is well under control.

i dont think we could go wrong for a cheap james beattie

i personally think he will give us all if he played for us , and sam allardyce did look at him before he went stoke ..

is there any talk on who could be leaving ?? maybe keith andrews could bring in a good 2 million

Just a bit of information on Amine Linganzi Koumba.

He's "Algerian". He was born there, but only lived there until he was 5. His family is originally from the Congo, but he's lived most of his life in France.

He has a French passport, so there would be no work permit issues.

I've never seen him play, but most of what I've read about him seems to class him as a defensive midfielder. St Etienne are good at developing young players though, so it's a good club to have come through (he's won the French youth championship). He played for them quite a bit in the lower division, but has struggled to get into their side this season.

Sounds like a good prospect.

I hope Rovers steer clear of RvN and Beattie.

The Algerian sounds promising.

Totally agree with Nicko re Di Santo. If we can nab him, probably won't happen this season but Di Santo/Kalinic up front could become very tasty indeed as a strike force.

Cannot argue with your post - but would also want bentley back to replace diouf. Rovers would be strengthened attack wise if he came back. Both Di Santo and Kalinic would benefit as well.

I'm not sure I agree with this bit. Firstly, I have huge reservations over their compsure / finishing ability with both missing a number of extremely good chances. Secondly, they're both relatively similar players and, while I'd like to see them both remain on the books, I'd say we need a pacier player to play off them - somebody like Bellamny or Pongolle.

Its a thoroughly depressing back page of the Telewag today, the main story says, 'Rovers to ponder Beattie move', then they add to this insult above it with a story headline 'Andrews out to end away day woe'

Can it get any worse or is the LT having one big laugh at our expense ?.
