It also says the move broke down over his personal terms, which is what I heard before. Whereas Nicko claims it was the fee.

It actually says when he was discussing terms, not because of them. Let's say a £2M fee was agreed, but while Grella was discussing personal terms, they wanted to pay the sum in several installments or make a part of it conditional based on appearances. Or something like that.

The only reason for the "Delay" is due to the Sydney tour, It was essential Grella was part of the squad for this tour.....Im not sure if it was a Contractual agreement. But it was part of the deal that Emerton and Grella were present!

I fully expect Grella to be in Turkey next season.

Amount of money involved?.............not sure!

Tell that to Robbie Savage.

I don't think we share a common definition of a holding midfielder. I'm thinking of players like Deschamps and Campo, players who shield the defensive line and operates on a quite small area, essentially an offensive centreback Savage, as terrific as he was for us, was more of a runner and tackler who broke up the oppositions play all over the field.

Who just so happens to be the best midfielder of that type we've had in a long long time.

What I wouldnt give for one more season of him and Tugay.

Can we have a fit David Thompson too? Underrated!

Is there an 11 o'clocker, Nicko? No, but you can have a 7 o'clocker instead.

STRIKERS...there are TWO being chased...and there is NO-ONE close to being signed...

BUDGET...about £4 million to spend [plus sales]...

KALINIC...touch and go for start of the season...

ROBERTS...obviously has to stay in the circumstances...for now anyway...

GRELLA...his people are still pushing the Gala thing...

FATY...could well come on trial...not the best CV...

ASSULIN...tell you about that one in a Saturday night 11 o'clocker...

Total guess on the strikers....... Jelavic and Beattie?

Possibilities? Eaves, Heskey, Bance, Sammasa(sp?)

Jelavic and any of those and i'd be happy, We cant start the season with 2 strikers!............Can we? :huh:

I wouldn't be surprised to see Assulin turn up at Bolton on trial, that young Ecuadorian ar Burnley had similarities.

4m looks like more than we thought but if that includes wages then maybe the prices banded about are right.

Seeing Roberts starting up front alone vs Everton would be soul crushing for me

No. I think we agree on your definition of a holding midfielder. I meant "Tell that to Robbie Savage", more in respect of Sav fancying himself as a holding midfielder, where as I would class him more as an all-action type. That style of player doesn't seem very popular these days, with teams preferring your text-book 'Vieira'-type defensive player.

A fit David Thompson - yes please!

Bit of a worry to hear Kalinic will take no part in our pre-season preparations. Won't help his chances of having a better season in front of goal at all. I can see him lacking that crucial bit of sharpness for the first few months. Jelavic, Jo, Kalinic and Roberts. That 4 would do me just fine.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before (recently at least) but the site calciomercato.com is reporting that Faty will travel to Blackburn next monday to start a trial.

They say he has not convinced Ranieri in the last trainings and that he is valued in €1 million and his contract ends in 2011.

Roma have offered him everywhere,need to get shut.

Is Andranik close to signing(sorry if you mean no one at all is close to signing as i assume you mean just strikers)?

Edit: Roberto what do you think of Faty, good enough for us?

Have you seen our midfield? If he's breathing he'd walk straight into it.

I think the two strikers being chase are Jelavic and Bance. Jelavic would cost 3 million pounds. Grella will probably be replace by Gary O'neil.

An article saying that Grella won't make it back to Blackburn from The Sydeny morning Hearld

Sits in front of the back 4,high energy and tackles hard.Very tall at 6 foot 5,very good in the air,Obviously a threat at set piece etc.He could certainly do a job,especially if Grella leaves.

Roma would be happy with a million if it was upfront.
