I'm not at all comfortable with the seeming trend of replacing permanent players with those on a short term contract or loan deal though.

Whats a 'permanent' player Simon? Either they end up f@@@@@@ us off or we end up back handing them to f@@@ off. Permanent players disappeared with Johnny Bosman. You should have seen enough at BRFC to know that football contracts are ludicrously only binding for one signatory. I'd like to know what parting with Reid, Zurab and Grella has cost us cos I'd imagine that it'd be enough for you or I to retire on thats for sure.

How would we go on with 'permanent' players should we be relegated btw?

As far as short term deals are concerned they are the future imo and especially now that transfer fees are largely being consigned to the history books. 'Evergreen' 12 month contracts or similar prob being the way forward.

Any player worth keeping could be offered a longer term deal but lets be honest anybody any good wouldn't sign it unless he had an injury fear and wanted some security would he? And if that happened we'd then wish we hadn't offered it to him. :blink:

Who says it has to be the US? America contains many countries... ;)

Anybody else got a mental image of American sat wide eyed, open mouthed and perplexed in front of his screen after reading that? :lol:

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.

Speculating but it might have been to watch someone play in a competative match for us who we were considering signing.

Rangers after Mphela

Todays Nikica Jelavic news.

Rangers are clearly interested in him, but todays fee is mentioned to be €4m.

This article also states that Rangers are after South African striker Mphela.

I dont know why, but I have a gut feeling that we will see Nikica Jelavic in blue and white halves before the transfer window shuts.

Wikipedia says Jelavic signed for Rangers for £2.5m yesterday - but we all know how reliable that is. ;)

Aren't we getting a bit overexcited about a player who's had one good season in the Austrian League? I think Rangers will be a big step up for him, let alone Rovers.

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

Dunn hardly ever plays in central midfield for us - he simply does not have the legs. Plus how long until he is injured?

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

Spurs have got Modric, Palacios, Huddlestone, O'Hara, Jenas and Krancar. I doubt they care much.

We've got Keith Andrews and Vince Grella.

Don't suppose you know what kind of money Grella is on at the club?

A rumour going around is that you guys are trying to hijack our move for Klasnic.

Heard that he has been released by Nantes now so that we might have a struggle to match paying his whole wage whereas you seem to have some money available now.

Probably a load of nonsense but thought I'd share.....

Good news at last:

"Rovers make new signing.

It is reported that Rovers have signed up a new Boardroom cat called Big Fat Sammy. according to CEO John Williams the creature just walked in off the street, he was so warm and cuddly we just could not say no, he is a charming warm(hearted) pussy.

BFSammy cost nowt, he is however expensive to keep and eats enough Walkers (sorry Whiskers) to cost Rovers the equivalent of the salary of MGP. Williams said when he realised what such a fat cat we had in the Boardroom he should have wisked him off to Galatasary or the FA long ago, indeed we are thinking of renaming him Benny Boy on the account of his big stomach and simple words."

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

If we play a 4-4-1-1, like last season, Dunn will play behind the front man, probably (and is likely to be out for spells injured, in any event).

If we play a 3-5-2 there needs to be a third centre mid.

Either way you need to name a further player for centre mid.

Grella isn't generally fit or is leaving.

Andrews is Andrews.

There's Ped, but he's playing out of position and isn't really a hard tackling midfielder. He has the engine, though, but lacks the pace to suppiort the frontmen of a consistent basis from a deeper midfield position.

Emo is a possible, too, and personally I'd like to see him get an extended run in centre mid. Once agiain, though, he would arguably be playing out of position.

Given that we don't exactly have rich pickings I think the Andranik signing is a good move on a free. He's always seemed quite neat and tidy from what I've seen. I think he can be quite creative, too.

How much do you guys rate Klasnic? He certainly did better than our resident Croatian striker last season.

At the 30 Jul 2010 10:35:45 mark, there is a rumor that Hughes will get Bellamy for 4 million and will also be going for MGP. http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/

Also, toward the end of the article, the LT states that the Rovers have not had a fresh approach for Grella. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/8302654.Samba__We_need_to_help_out_the_strikers/?ref=rss

Zurab is in talks with Russian club Anzhi. http://www.tribalfootball.com/blackburn-rovers-defender-zurab-khizanishvili-anzhi-talks-1010471

I imagine Gala wanted to pay in mutiple installmens, with Rovers prefering a larger chunk up front than was offered Nicko ?

I've heard rumours again that 2 bids in are for Jelavic. First bid was matching Rangers' bid of £2.5m, which was rejected by Rapid, who are looking for closer to £3.5m. Don't know how much the latest bid is but probably meeting Rapid in the middle I'd imagine.

Heard any of this Nicko ?

Seems like the transfer market is now hotting up. a lot of activity going on today involving Premier League Clubs. Hopefully Rovers can secure their target soon.

Hope that Grella is moved on so that Sam has additional funds to spend. I would not be surprised if we also get someone in on loan.

MGP wont be going anywhere after just signing a new contract.

Also I doubt Bellamy would go to Fulham when Tottenham (and potentially Champions League football) are sniffing around.

I could see Roque going there though......

Jo and Jelavic would suit me fine. Nice if we got a midfielder as well but I can't see how we can afford anyone apart from maybe a loan, or a Nzonzi/Linganzi type of speculative deal.

We need to shift Chimbonda and Grella pretty desperately. Fantastic news if Vince goes.
