"Office buzzing with deals deals Team NVA in full flow"

I wouldn't say that was necessarily anything related to Rovers. They have many clients that they will deal with

[broadsword]

Cough, who did we reject as a 14 year old, cough.

Gripper Stebson?

What's the view on Oldham's Tom Eaves (think I saw his name mentioned earlier). Sky saying we are battling it out with other clubs for him.

Would think Sam will go for experienced striker to challenge Niko and Jase?

[superniko]

What i've heard buzzing around today is that Heskey is a done deal, fee in the region of 2 million.

Should be confirmed tomorrow.

Maybe I'm on my own here, but I honestly couldn't give a stuff right now about signings.

You're in the wrong thread then

Yep, I would much rather have Carew but lets be honest Villa aren't stupid enough to sell Carew and keep Heskey

[Ricky]

I'd be happy with heskey. Would see a lot more goals from our midfield with his hold up play.

Heskey's name doesn't inspire the dread I thought it would. He can't score for toffee, but he does toil up front to bring others into play. That's something we don't have in our ranks.

I would have preffered Villa or Forlan myself

[roversfan99]

Well it sure fills me with dread, id prefer Roberts over him. PLEASE NOT HESKEY

[John]

Sources in France today suggest that Mali international Mamadou Samassa is the mystery striker Rovers have been pursuing over the past fortnight.

We might have an outside chance of Folan...

Sources in France today suggest that Mali international Mamadou Samassa is the mystery striker Rovers have been pursuing over the past fortnight.

Parent club Olympique Marseille have put the player on the transfer list with the 6ft 2in striker not figuring in Marseille manager Dider Deschamps’ plans, his agent confirmed to footmercato.net.

Several Premier League clubs are reported to be interested in the 24-year-old, including Wigan and Stoke.

The striker played on loan with Valeniciennes last season, scoring seven goals in 17 appearances.

Being a strong, physical player who is good in the air, Samassa might well fit the caliber of attacker Allardyce is in need of, with the striker-hunt becoming ever more frustrating as the summer wears on.

The player is unwanted in Marseille and the club are willing to cash in on what Marseille claim as an ‘over-priced’ player.

Once viewed as the perfect replacement for Djibril Cisse, the striker has failed to live up to expectations, with a very low goal ratio alongside several injuries blighting his career.

Allardyce may well be willing to gamble on the Mali-born striker, with options and funds severely

Very low goal ratio.. several injuries..

Sounds like our guy.

I'm willing to stake money that you are talking out of your rear end.

Congratulations on your first post demonstrating the use of grammar.

Yep, me too.

Not a goalscorer, but his hold-up play would do us a lot of favours and Nicko would be great playing off him.

Bring it on.

[Roversboy1972]

why are people on here nasty toward me i done nothing wrong only speaking my mind is that crime

[superniko]

Well i'm only sharing what I heard, it may or may not be true but we shall see.

I personally hope it isn't but with 2.5million we can't really get anyone better.

[roversfan99]

Where did you hear it?

[CrazyIvan]

They're not being nasty, they're just asking (in a round about way) for you to use proper spelling and punctuation or something approaching that. It makes reading your posts a lot easier.

[ChesterRover]

I'm sure Sam was quoted as saying what we need is a proven goalscorer, so why all the talk of target men.

The thought of Heskey in our sacred kit scares me for the target role let alone as a goalscorer, a definite no no

[Tom]

We might have an outside chance of Folan...

I see what you did there - and I liked it!
