[Archived] Potential Summer Transfers (2010)

[Amo]

The simple use of IMO after many statements would rseolve the issue.

It would also be completely superfluous to use that over and over again. Unless someone posts an absolute fact, anything else is clearly just their opinion and open to contention.

2 players looking very likely to leave....

Khizanishvili is trying to manufacture a permanent move from Blackburn Rovers to Reading

Reid Opens talks with West Brom

With Judge being told he can leave too....& Di Santo's loan not being renewed....+ Benni has already gone....AND MGP looking like he could well be off.

Thier must be quite a saving on the wage budget opening up ready for our summer business?!

Are we not still paying Paul Ince and his management team until christmas this year.

But he's got a beard...he'd fit right in with Givet...and Dunn could grow his back too (people have forgotten how brilliantly rugged he looked with it).

To summarise....beards rule

OK capt...

[Steve Moss]

11 goals in 32 starts – Piquionne (Age 31)

10 goals in 22 starts - Dindane (Age 29)

I'n not knocking Dindane, 10 goals in 22 starts is very good.

But for sake of more complete information, this is how Dindane's goals break down:

1 against Carlisle

3 against Wigan

1 against Burnley

1 against Sunderland

1 against Southhampton

2 against Bolton

1 against Wolves

He mostly scores against teams I would expect to beat anyway, so I'm not sure whether he'll bring the ability to consistently score against the top half clubs. And he has scored in 5 of 18 PL games (28%).

By contrast, Piquoinne goals:

1 against Hereford

2 against Stoke

1 against Wigan

1 against Chelsea

1 against Liverpool

1 against Stoke

1 against Burnley

2 against Birmingham

1 against Tottenham

Piquionne can score against the top half. And has scored in 8 of 26 PL games (30%).

Anyway, I'm not sure it makes any difference. And I wouldn't be opposed to having both at the club for a couple of years, especially as I'd expect their scoring to improve in a more stable environment.

But he's got a beard...he'd fit right in with Givet...and Dunn could grow his back too (people have forgotten how brilliantly rugged he looked with it).

To summarise....beards rule

So we might have four PL-standard centre halves, and he may be 33 years old, but if it's beards we want (And we do), we should sign Olof Mellberg.

[Eddie]

Please can we try and avoid players who weren't good enough to make it in Ligue 1.

Wasn't N'Zonzi Ligue 2? We aren't the richest club so we have to seek out talent in areas the big clubs might not pay attention.

[Eddie]

N'Zonzi wasn't a journeyman who had failed to impress at several clubs, he was a respected young talent.

Total stunner in the People tomorrow...

Surprised it has not come out so far, it's been buzzing around for the past few days.

Prepare for meltdown.

Got to get back to the day job...

Rovers related Nicko? Luca Toni or Benjani?

[Craigman]

Anything to do with Ronaldinho ?

[Tom]

Good things don't come when nicko says something like that.

If it wasn't in this thread I would have said Sam to Wham due to him being in London (only hal joking)

As it stands though I imagine samba to arsenal or a crap player in

[Hughesy]

Heard Fabregas wants to go Barca - perhaps he wants to come here instead as Barca just simply copy us...Samba for Fabregas?!!? Hmmm not sure!

[Amo]

Samba's departure would not be a "total stunner". A lot of us were anticipating it this summer, anyway!

Andrews to Barca?

[yellowsubmarine]

Just hope it ain't a "big player" of ours moving on to the big teams. It will be sickening just as we are on our way to build a better team next season.

[1864roverite]

Oh dear that doesnt sound positive.

Afgter the season we have just had, the club and fans are on a high and the bubble SOUNDS like it is going to be deflated big time.

Maybe we are taking over PNE eh ?

[Ste B]

Oh dear..

Fat Sam - West Ham ?

[67splitscreen]

IMO, selling a player or players is hardly meltdown, even a manager being replaced would not warrant that phrase.

Meltdown is more commonly used around football and on here as a serious lack of finances. No way have ours changed dramatically in the last year.

[Amo]

Perhaps some explanation for why we haven't got a pot to piddle in this summer.

[EwoodGlory]

Rovers related?

This, I don't want to be worried for rest of the day about something bad happening

[67splitscreen]

Oh dear..

Fat Sam - West Ham ?

Not out of the question, ? is could Sam work with the porn boys, doubt Sam would tolerate them sticking their oars in everywhere.

Perhaps some explanation for why we haven't got a pot to piddle in this summer.

Everyone new it was never going to be overflowing, how can that be meltdown.

[EwoodGlory]

Oh dear..

Fat Sam - West Ham ?

Nicko did say he was in London
