[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

JO...the move will depend on whether it increases the value of the player in the eyes of the people who actually 'own' him...Man City will get rid of a lot of players by the end of the window because they simply won't play...I think BUYING him is the least likely option...a loan favourite...

I think the highlighted section is probably the reason why this one has a little more chance than anything else we've been hearing in the last few weeks. I'd imagine his 'owners' will be offering him around frantically though, so we may have to wait in line like good little boys as everyone else rejects him first.

Nicko,is the financial 'development'a potential loosening of the purse-strings??

Nope, it will be announced before the end of the week that the takeover saga has been completed.

[Sandiway Blue]

Nope, it will be announced before the end of the week that the takeover saga has been completed.

Is that fact or a guess?

[RevidgeBlue]

Nope, it will be announced before the end of the week that the takeover saga has been completed.

I'm pretty certain it won't.

Back on topic, if Jo is only being looked at on loan it would be nice to think he would be brought in alongside a decent permanent acquisition giving us some genuine depth up front once again.

I reaaalllyy hope so. If they get any tighter they'll snap!

Not neccessarily, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spuds, ManU and even Villa cant offer him first team football, plus of course Man city, that really leaves only three clubs above us if he was to stay in the prem!!

So we may be able to ressurect his career and as Nicko rightly says, increase his value!!

Depends which way its gone. If the bid has failed then we could hear about it by the end of the week, doubt we'll be under new ownership by then though.

Worried by the lack of activity, as we all are on here.

One positive, is that we haven't lost a big name. Losing Samba or someone of that ilk would have been especially disappointing. Hope we pull a rabbit out of the hat, but we shouldn't expect this year after year.

[chaddyrovers]

I still think we will sign Jelavic. Think Big Sam wants a target man.

[bats]

is anybody looking at taking grella?

Galatasary trying to sign Grella at second attempt

[LeChuck]

Jelavic, Faty and Benjani in.

Grella and Roberts out.

Cheers Sam.

Edit: I'm amazed Franco's name hasn't come up. He looked very good as a lone striker in the World Cup, and showed he can handle the Premier League last year.

The Dow Jones is down slightly, and the pound has strengthened against the yen.

Elsewhere, Prince Charles has been caught wearing Lady Di's clothes and talking to his rhubharb.

Nicko what is your favourite pizza topping?? I like tuna and sweetcorn.

Pepperoni.

He's 65.

[the swede]

He's 65.

Don't you mean Blanco? Franco is 4 years younger

[yankrover]

Could one of you over in England give Grella a lift to the airport? We should snap up Galas first offer, whatever it is. He's been nothing but a waste of money since we signed him.

[FourLaneBlue]

Wonder if we have look at Mido. He is available on a free transfer. He's a good player,

No he isn't. He's crap.

[Tom]

£2m for Grella would be a dream come true. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

Shhh!! Them Gala boys can read t'internet too y'know

Good lcuk in Turkey, Vince

Englishmen are obviously mad. Whoever heard of such a combination? Pepperoni, maybe with a bit of onion, is the way to go.

See above comment. Mad, I tell you, mad!

Sam wants ManU's Wellbeck on loan. http://www.fansfc.com/BlackburnRovers/story/23105/4.html

Jo was pretty poor tonight in Man City's tuneup against Club America. Played the entire second half. Scuffed a sitter, and whiffed on another attempt.

Did have a nice setup to Adebayor, however, who placed it off the crossbar.

Which players do you think they will be getting rid of?

[roversfan99]

Just think, a couple of seasons ago we were finishing in Europe whilst City were stuck in mid table, and now we are just hoping we can afford the players that dont get in their 25 man squad

It's taken you this long to realise?
