True, but Andy Cryer has one focus only (to my knowledge) and that's Blackburn, whereas Nicko has a broader coverage of the league, so that does balance itself out a bit...

.....and Cryer is based in the town. To be sat in Blackburn working for the local paper and be picking up Rovers stories from an internet messageboard is a pretty poor show.

I don't understand the confusion. John Williams has CONFIRMED in quotes that Blackburn have made a second bid for a striker. The club don't want to name the striker so why would Cryer, who is the local reporter, want to jeopardise that. Do we all want to know who it is even if it means we don't get him. Seems fairly responsible journalism to me.

The LT has also run this summer that Rovers not had new interest in Grella, which seems true, that Teymourian was on trial, which seems true, and had first interview with Shah about takeover.

Of course a local newspaper is not going to run a load of rumours about strikers. How many strikers have we been linked with? And how many have proved to be true. I'd prefer to wait for the truth.

Spot on there mate! I pretty sure that Andy Cryer does know the who the player is but will keep his mouth shut till we sign him or not! Then they would probably get an exclusive about the deal and an interview with the player. I think it's a player from a premiership team and other teams are interest in him but not made a bid like us!!! Think they will be a striker sign before the weekend, just my view tho!!!

If ToffeeWeb is correct:

-Serious knee injury in Sept 2005 on under-19 England duty. Knee Surgery required.

-Knee breaks down again in 2006 not once but twice.

-Finally goes to Steadman for further surgery on his knee in 2006.

-March 2008, knee locks up in training, goes back to Steadman and has another operation.

-Start of 2008-09 season, more knee problems= surgery again.

If that's not a crock, I don't know what is. Sounds worse than Reid.

And the main target is...

Oh, still not named the mystery chap.

How strange.

I questioned him about this on his twitter site, his reply was, they won't disclose who the target is but they do tell me who it is not. ;)

Peter White must be turning in his grave.

I agree with everyone on here, we should sell all our players, cause they aren't good enough, and we should buy no-one, cause everyone is a risk.

Brilliant! :lol:

We can afford a fit one.

Andrews MkII it is then.

He is currently fit.

And subject to a medical.

Are you sure you're a Rovers fan? From what I've been able to determine reading this board, a true Rovers fan never lets common sense get in the way of some moaning. :P

Nothing further on Grella - Unleaded & Nicko said it was happening, but nothing yet?! Has Fatboy turned up?

Grella's camp claim the deal is done...why would anyone be surprised if that was going to be the case...Gala tried for him earlier in the summer and narrowly failed to do it...ffs!

Faty was supposed to be in today. No idea if he is.

Been concentrating on several other clubs who are actually doing business.

Got to say, why bring in another midfielder unless one is shipping out.

Still no idea why Teymourian is coming.

But never apply logic to football.

It's a Premier League club...far from 'little.'

I can only tell you who I know Rovers are chasing - probably miss plenty of targets myself. I think I have named most of the ones that have been chased - Lewandowski, Dindane, Piquionne - and the ones who have come up lately in Heskey, Jo and now Vaughan.

But just taking the party line from the club is tedious.

There is a lot happening right now and all I read about from the local paper is denials and 'mystery targets.'

nicko i got told today off a freind at work heskey was at brockhall on friday so is there any truth in the tale

Andy Cryer is a pain in the arse

All he does is sit in his office in Blackburm waiting for Rovers to leak him some titbits which he can then regurgitate in the paper as 'exclusives'

He just trots out the party line time after time and seems to be about 3 days behind nicko
