[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Tim Southampton Rover]

It's hard to judge him when he's not playing against the players we see week in week out in the Premier League.

If our scouts and staff think he's got potential then I guess we'll see what sort of impact he has in the reserves and in our first team. From those videos he doesn't look anywhere near the completed article but he's only young and has lots of time to be developed.

Anyone know what sort of fee was paid for him? If it isn't a big fee then I think we'll all agree that it's a risk that's worth taking.

Stumbled upon this on the net, Blackburn are after 22-year-old Norwegian striker Nicki Billie Nielsen.

Also stumbled across this on an Austrian website,roughly translated it mentions our interest in Jelavic, along with Rangers, but any bid fell short of their 4.8 Million Euro's valuation.

Was paid? So he has actually signed and not just in for trial?

[chaddyrovers]

Could we be after Colombian international Edixon Perea.

Danish, Norwegian.. what's the difference?

Actually I might have jumped the gun a bit then. I don't think he has signed for us yet but according to several websites, we are looking to sign him permanently. No mention of a trial.

Work permit could be a problem, not in the current international squad and it's quite a while since he was.

His last venture into Europe was hardly a success.

[SergioPeter89]

I saw that $i£y are going to have a big sale. Players like Bellamy, De Jong, Ireland being sold.

My question is, how is Michael Johnson doing atm? Was he injured for ages? Would love to have him in Rovers.

[Billy Castell]

I'm sure the local Wetherspoons would as well if rumours are true. I agree with your point though. Weiss and a few others will never get a game. Garrido is a left back isn't he?

Finland, Sweden... same stuff

[philipl]

Its all pickled herring to me.

Bookies are impressed with our signings so far: According to experts Blackburn will relegated next season.

Rovers, Wigan, Bolton and Blackpool to get relegated?

Dont waste your time even reading this tosh.

[Tom]

Our saving grace may be other teams aren't doing much either.

We certainly need to strengthen though

[The1mattjansen]

Betfair has us as about 8/9th favourite for the drop. Though they might be wrong, its probably as good an indicator as you're likely to get.

7/1 against certainly doesn't make us anywhere near favourites.

[roversam]

im not to concerned about relegation. There hasn't been much activity down the bottom of the league.

I Think it will be harder this year with the exception of Blackpool i don't see there being sides as poor as Hull and Burnley in the league.

There are a dozen or so clubs with little to choose between them.

Besiktas said in a statement on its website that Guti would be paid 2.7 million euros ($3.5m) a year.

Not directed at you TCO but this has been said a few times in the last few week or so, many must really have their heads in the sand.

Wolves 5 -- Wigan 4 -- West H 3 -- WBA 3 -- S/Land 5 -- Stoke 1 -- N/Castle 2 --Bolton 2 -- Fulham 2

B/pool 0 -- Rovers 0

All teams below us last season, and still looking for more.

Some may not be what we think improvements, their managers do. If some rabbits are not pulled out of the hat before the window shuts, the bookies could well be right.

Sam has worked wonders in the last 20 months, he needs some backing, the writing is on the wall, It's bold and it's clear.

No, but it does make us a cracking bet.

Quoted from the Link earlier,

"Meanwhile, Rovers are said to be closing in on a deal for an unknown striker, reported to be either Olympique Marseille’s want-away striker Mamadou Samassa or Oldham’s 18-year-old forward David Eaves"

Oh next seasons going to be...........Fun!

Samassa = 13 goals in 79 games according to wikipedia. Weren't we looking for a goalscorer? This guy makes Roberts look prolific .....

[Billy Castell]

Samassa will create space for Niko and the midfield to score . Buy the 18 year old Eaves. He might be good, and probably won't cost much.

[rog of the rovers]

Could we get relegated? Yes

Could Birmingham, Fulham, West Ham, Wolves, West Brom, Blackpool, Newcastle, Stoke, Bolton, Wigan, and Sunderland be relegated? Yes

Better than Heskey I guess.

Although last season was an exciting thrill-festof samba football, so I'm not sure why you're worried?
