[Iceman]

or Mr Shah has helped us out, in a bid to gain control of the club

[Bobby G]

Unlikely.

Not much of a gesture from a prospective club owner to give us a whopping 1 million pound injection!

[hi-jaq]

Those calling him that name need to get a life. He may not be the most gifted and nobodies favourite, but deserves better than that. Those calling him 'crack head' should be ashamed of themselves!

That was me... And no, I'm not really ashamed of myself, because I find it funny. Sense of humour wasted on people who take little throw away comments WAAAAY too seriously... Remind me why I just read the forums & try not to post them... because absolutley everything that gets said is taken literally, and comments pounced upon at the earliest opportunity... some things never change!!!

Well all this said & we still need a striker, I wonder if this Ricardo Faty kid can pass the ball along the floor in a forward direction???

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

If we get Faty - we will surely be able to put out the team with the greatest average height ?

Playing to our strenghts - this would probably mean more of the same in terms of style of football.

[chaddyrovers]

Andy Cryer on the L.E.T. website that the striker we have put a bid in for is not Jelavic!!! So who do we think it is? Nicko do you know who ths striker is?

The LET seem to be very good at saying who the target is or targets are.

I don't think - based on what I heard yesterday - that anything is near.

[1864roverite]

I wouldnt beleive anything in the LET unless the club corroborated it, cryers reporting is utter garbage concerning Rovers.

So we are closing to signing a striker then? do you know who the striker is yet?

No, said it last night and will say it again...there is nothing close.

A lot of other moves should start happening elsewhere this week, so you might get something that way.

Thanks Nicko for the update!

Bang on... at least we wont loose many arial battles in the middle of the park either. We will be good at getting the ball, but bobbins when we have it!!!

I hope Niko comes good this year!!!

Perhaps its all he can afford????

LOL, perhaps we need a bigger font size?

In the post match interview Allardyce denied the rumours that Galatasaray had came back for Grella.

[alexanders]

Sam says that Vince is ours and there have been no contact from Gala.

[philipl]

Sam couldn't have been clearer- no new contact from Galatasaray for Grella.

[67splitscreen]

Sam confirms after the game what the LT have said, no contact from Gala, for Grella. ?? Nicko.

Edit ^ it's unanimous then. he's staying.

[AggyBlue]

Sam couldn't have been clearer- no new contact from Galatasaray for Grella.

Did he not say 'as far as I'm aware'?

[nicko]

In the post match interview Allardyce denied the rumours that Galatasaray had came back for Grella.

Grella thinks so...and so do the people who look after him...

[Doaksie]

Sam couldn't have been clearer- no new contact from Galatasaray for Grella.

But was he telling the truth to the nice Australian reporter?

[LeChuck]

Sam couldn't have been clearer- no new contact from Galatasaray for Grella.

Galatasary signed Lorik Cana (defensive midfielder) shortly after abandoning the bid for Grella.

There is no way they will be back in for him. We're stuck with the useless crock.

[Amo]

It'll be Steven Reid all over again - but at least he gave us one decent season.

[Fife Rover]

That was me... And no, I'm not really ashamed of myself, because I find it funny. Sense of humour wasted on people who take little throw away comments WAAAAY too seriously...

So if I called you crack head without knowing whether or not there was the slightest bit of truth in it, that would be alright would it? After all I would find it funny and that would fully justify it........ have I got that right?

[Steve Moss]

Andy Cryer on the L.E.T. website that the striker we have put a bid in for is not Jelavic!!! So who do we think it is? Nicko do you know who ths striker is?

Pure guesswork, but I suspect that Eagles would be one of our targets. While not a striker, he's cheap, young, not terrible, and Burnley are looking to unload. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/blackburnrovers/premierleague/8305193.Eagles_urged_not_to_fly_the_Clarets_nest/?ref=rss

Also there is Mido. He's cheap and has played in the PL. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Mido-is-threatening-to-sit-out-the-last-year-of-his-Boro-contract-if-he-is-not-allowed-a-move-to-Ajax-article542045.html

[vintageadidas]

As already mentioned the extra funds (which i still believe to be around the £3m mark and not £4m) came from the fact that Sam really went off on one. We could have started the season with no manager.

I don't believe it is Nikica Jelavić that we hav bid for (i could be wrong) My source said we are seriously interested in two strikers at the minute. One being someone we know pretty well and the other being bit of an unknown to us. Does not mean he is any less of a player.

Gala do not need to put another bid in for Grella. The bid is in and accepted it is just up to the player to accept terms. That is why when asked they state no bid has been put in because they don't need to.

2 weeks today......
