[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Hughesy]

Prior to the window shutting I think we will sign 1 of Faty/ Iranian fella, a loan striker & 1 striker signing.

[alexanders]

I am thinking that our targets might be Jelavic or Moa. Reported a bid of 1.4m£ for Moa and probably Valerenga waiting to see if they get more money for him elsewhere.

The same with Jelavic. We might be battling with Rangers and Rapid Vienna want their main

target sorted before they sell Jelavic to us.

You are very vulnerable right away if you sell your star player and other clubs know you have money and are desperate and they can squeeze more money out of you.

Hoping this made sense as I am sitting here hungover with a medium strong (hot hot hot) kebab and a gallion of water! Just preparing for my next visit to ewood when we are owned by syyed.

It says we will sign Messi for 120Mill after Syed takes over that considering he has a 200M release clause I have to say reading that rumour room it looks like nearly all posters are chancers & lucky guessers.

Not sure about that one Brfcrule1.

Sounds likely to me.

[Clitherover]

We dont have that much so id take it with more than a pinch of salt, the Jones swap would be tempting but id probably say no

Really?, i'd definitely swap Jones for Crouch with our striker situation as it is.

It isn't going to happen though.

Love the 'irons in the fire but not very hot' line from Sam...class if a little 'off message' shall we say.

Only news is that two strikers I know about will be watched in Europe this weekend. No names until Sunday. There are a lot of leagues swinging into serious action now.

That tells me there is not much 'hot' on the transfer front until they are checked and compared with Mister X, Y and Z back here.

[Ricky]

Hoping for moa and jelavic being the two watched.

Comparing them to Beattie and benjani, hopefully we'll fondue one of the first two, if not both.

[thenodrog]

never seen a twitching corpse, so will take your word for it.

It was an accurate description, and an excellent example of a simile.

[BPF]

I wonder if no signings by Saturday and a 3 - 0 drubbing by Everton will result in the trustees giving Sam a bit more help.

[daveoftherovers]

It was an accurate description.

I concur...

[alexanders]

Just been mentioned on norwegian television that Blackburn are coming to norway this week to watch Moa.

More details soon...

They are going to watch the internation friendly between Norway and France. Thats what Morten Gamst Pedersen said.

[Iceman]

Benjani is playing Sunday footy in a park, somewhere in europe. Beattie is on the opposition side, so makes sense that we are looking at 2 strikers from Europe

[Ricky]

Has that french squad been announced yet? Surely n'zonzi has to be in with a shout of a call up.

Nzonzi is a good lad, always at training, never has a bad word to say about the manager, so i dont think he is the type of player that they will be looking at.

[alexanders]

Its announced Ricky and he didnt get a shot.

[Iceman]

ill take Benjani and Beattie right now

[unclejack28]

Have these strikers in Europe that we are looking at been mentioned on here before?

[SergioPeter89]

He isnt in that squad, but Charles N'Zogbia is there.

According to a journalist who is following Manchester United on twitter (BenHibbs), Diouf and Welbeck will go out on loan this week. But he doesnt know where yet.

[alexanders]

What seriopeter said.

MGP has been bragging about Moa to the chief scouts and they are coming to Ullevaal to look at Moa on wednesday. Interview done with Big Sam he doesnt want to say anything, but he would like more Norwegians in the club. Blackburn Rovers is actually the English clubs which have had most norwegians (7).

I have a feeling that we might have submitted a bid for Moa and we are going over to try and conclude the deal.

[LeftWinger]

Really?, i'd definitely swap Jones for Crouch with our striker situation as it is.

I certainly wouldn't. Crouch is so over-rated it's untrue. He turns 30 in January and has only got in to double figures twice in the top flight (11 and 12 goals). Swapping him for the best thing to come out of the academy since Duff and Dunn would be a bad move IMO. Who's going to be worth more in 2 years time?

[alexanders]

Talking about swapping Jones with Crouch is ludicrous. He is a local lad , genuine Rovers supporter and just signed a new contract. He is being dubbed as the next big thing in England by many. We would be insane to do a deal like that.

[Iceman]

desperate times. calls for desperate measures. We had this discussion before, in that instance it was Samba. Rigters + Roberts + Andrews+ Zurab + Brown and maybe just maybe, we will think about a swap involving Crouch

[ewoodpo]

You feeling alright, Jones is the future of our club Crouch is 30 and on stupid wages it ain't happening.

Thank ###### your not the manager.

[novella]

Rangers have had their 3.5 million bid for Jelavic rejected. Looks like thats us out of the running for that one.

[Iceman]

i wonder if Sam might look at Eidur again... I dont think he has gone back to Spurs. Any takers?
