[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Amo]

I'm going to throw open one of my old suggestions - former Bayern Munich player Ali Karimi. He's 31 now and currently playing in his native Iran. He would ideally play as the second striker and has the footwork to create more chances in open play, which would take the pressure off Dunn.

[BlueMonday]

A Celtic supporting friend has heard the hastily arranged PSF was on the back of transfer discussions and a chance for Rovers to check someone out. Unlikely I told him, only player worth looking at would be McGeady and he's out of budget.

Rather him than the dross we have signed.

WTF is going on, teymorian is rubbish. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather keep Grella.

It was arranged because Celtic had a pre-arranged friendly vs Real Vallodolid cancel, and Rovers were already in the local area the day before.

Didn't know that. I'll tell the Tic we're just pulling them out of a hole...

[Ewood and I Would]

An oldie, but worth a reminder...

One d*ck slagging off another

[Amo]

I didn't know Gamst was doing stand-up. Might be worth quitting his day job!

[blue/white]

boys.... looks like Rovers can scratch Riquelme off their broad... looks to have re-signed w/ Boca.

[ewoodpo]

Any 11'o clocker tonight Nicko? Any more info. re. finances, possible takeover, or Sam's threat to quit?

Why is it that somebody has to ask this question everyday. If Nicko has any news to share he'll come on here and tell us.

Who's our broad? And why was Riquelme on her?

a. Stuart?

b. Bad mental image

Another day passes in the eternal quest for a signing....oh wait, we signed Teymourian. How could I forget.

[Tom]

Have we signed Teymourian now? If he is to come in and Grella leaves and pockets us some money it's positive, if Grella stays is just pointless it seems

He was getting the medical tests today

...apparently

[Hughesy]

Why we are signing the Iranian il never know. He turned down an extended trial so I know where I'd tell him to go!

I think he'll be an OK signing on a free.

Out of interest, who are your first choice central midfielders this season?

Xavi and Iniesta

Nzonzi n Dunn... But suppose our tactics decide that.

[Fife Rover]

Bellamy is a class player.

Hughes will go Fulham once he has "his" staff.

Annan is typical agent talk. He wants a move to the Premiership.

The Rovers / Indian thing took a step closer.

Josh Morris will be a top player. His left foot is awesome.

Put money on Phil Jones being an England captain.

Are you Nicko's understudy or something?

[Lathund]

He didn't want to travel with the team to Australia without any sort of guarantees? My god, how awful of him!

[Ewood and I Would]

Maybe people should stop going to job interviews on the basis that there's no point unless they are guaranteed to land the job then. Have you ever heard the expression, beggers can't be choosers?

Having said that it seems he got it all in the end anyway.

Oh, and if Rovers want to pay for me to go away on holiday to Australia without giving me a contract at the end of it I'd be happy!

He did go to an interview. He just didn't go to Australia for it; probably because other teams were involved too. Or are you suggesting we should never apply for multiple jobs or universities etc? And who'd be the beggar in this situation? We're the ones with no money.

My point was simply that while we'd have prefered for him to come to Australia, the fact that he didn't is not reason enough by itself not to sign him. If he's good enough and the price is right, we sign him. Otherwise we don't. And it's not a reason to tell him to go... wherever Hughesy intends to tell him to go.

Great comparison... really.

Why's it pointless? We have no warm bodies in midfield. If this guy has any sort of Premier League ability he's an upgrade over Grella (can't stay fit) and Andrews (shouldn't be wearing the shirt).

Cheers, Ince.

I don't think there is anyone in football I hate more than him. Here we are trying desperately to get rid of our £4 million Aussie crock for half that amount, whilst the 'prize we could have won' is being looked at by England's best clubs.

I hope Annan doesn't come over here, I'm not sure I could handle the constant reminder of his incompetence. At least the likes of Fowler disappear without a trace.

Didn't Harry turn him down at the same time? Spurs fans should be furious and want him fired.

Many things to criticise Ince about and be angry with him about, but plenty of other teams could have had Annan as well, and he ended up still in Norway.

[thenodrog]

Should be good fun to watch, as there maybe some decent players to pick up who actually want to play some footy this season and therefore are happy to take a pay cut.

Surely most of them are where they are cos the money is more imp to them.
