Well i hope its Rovers related. Is it not 11'o clock there yet?

20 mins or so to go

[nicko]

Benni wants out quickly - and is keen to join West Ham. Galatasaray are interested too, but he wants to stay in the Prem. Maybe he has heard there is a Panacea in London.

If it happens - and it is moving that way - then Beattie is the strong option. But that will depend on the price.

Rovers need to make sure McCarthy goes for about the same fee that Beattie would cost. For the obvious reasons.

Hear Eguren still being pursued. Interesting that so many people who have seen him rate him highly.

Evening.

So nothing new and nothing to make the pulses race even a little, if just for a few days

[rovers1995]

Nicko why does he want out quickly and is it true that Dunny is going to be out for 9 weeks as someone has said on another topic?

[Ricky]

Heard anything on basturk nicko?

No, No, No. We can't let this happen.

Thanks for the update Nicko.

[G Somerset Rover]

If McCarthy is sacrificed for Beattie I will be effing fuming. Does Big Sam's shortlist only contain one striker at a time or something?..Davies..Beattie..

Please don't let this happen. Beattie for Roberts = sorted.

[Tom]

I'd love Benni to stay but in a way I think the emergence of Kalinic in the last couple of games has probably moved him closer to an exit, especially as it seems he would benefit from playing with a big old fashioned centre forward.

I don't rate Beattie too high at all but maybe just maybe the two could work together

No extra funding, even if minimal, for the manager then?

Personally, I would keep Benni until the end of the season, to be safe. At the moment, just cannot see why selling him can make us stronger.

[BPF]

Isn't there an obvious bad idea in selling him to a team that are potential relegation rivals?

This all makes little sense to me!

Is big Sam taking this route so that he can get his pay out a lot quicker.

(Please don't use that word again) no!! Please (Please don't use that word again) no! Eguren yes, Beattie for Benni no. This is getting ridiculous now, because the striker i want out is Roberts.

Benni wants out quickly because he knows West Ham are chasing other alternatives...and he does not want to miss out.

The guy's heart has not been in it for some time and the manager does not fancy him.

If you get decent dough then it will be a result.

Not a Beattie fan myself, but I can see the current attraction. That move would be down to the expense involved.

No word on Dunny injury or Basturk who was a good player about seven or eight years ago.

Burnley are about to sign a keeper, by the way. Will no doubt lead to more accusations of undermining the Claret and Blue empire.

Any news on Linganzi Nicko, and is the Meriem move now officially over?

[RovertheHill]

I'd rather have a fat lump who was capable of flashes of brilliance rather than a fat lump who's biggest fan is himself and is well on his way down the hill

[nicko]

Linganzi is still down to valuations which seems strange to me. He was 'one for the future' apparently. Hope he does not slip through any fingers.

Meriem seems to have been a victim of the navel-gazing that went on last week. One one minute, delayed the next, cancelled the next. Poor chap, but really was it ever worth the fuss anyway?

[sam_rovers]

if we get beattie i can see the expert dropping kalinic and playing beattie as a lone striker!

Funnily enough Nicko, i was watching a classic match between PSG and Monaco. Meriem was playing, and i know it was a few years ago but, he was superb as the creative midfielder. I reckon, he could have done a job for us, but anyway thats that then.

[Guest andrewpickup]

Have galatasaray not just taken jo? Perhaps not that fussed about benni. Im no beattie fan but I suppose he will give -t his all which for his talent benni lacks

All pretty depressing news, Benni out, fat Beattie in, stinginess over Linganzi. I was thinking there might actually be some good news...

If we dont sign a midfielder with either A : Some creativity or B : A real workhorse attitude im about ready to volley the dog over the neighbours house, never mind Sam's comments about Reid I read recently, he isnt fit enough and wont be for some time, sign a midfielder or whatever strikers you put on the pitch they wont score bugger all without having the chances created by midfielders.

If we cant shift the useless dross we have in the centre of the park either in the window or off the injury bench take them out to the barn with a shotgun and do us all a favour.

[sam_rovers]

Gala got Jo today..doubt they will still go for benni

[Iceman]

Was the amount mentioned, not something like 50k for Linganzi? If we stalling over paying that, then things are really depressing.
