Oh dear it's totally been made up hasnt it? :blush:

I don't think it's totally made up, but a few things don't stack up. Yet.

Got to say that the current transfer activity suggests the club don't see it happening soon as they are doing their best to juggle sand and bring in players.

However, it would be for the best if the interest was real.

No one's interested in Chimbonda, and not likely to be when he's on full whack. If we can sell any one of those surplus right-backs, we should.

That's like saying 'let's sell our only fit striker'...

Seriously though, even if we can't sell Chimbonda, let's not cut off our nose to spite our face by selling Lars instead. Surely we'd be better off (as a squad) by having Chimbonda in the reserves (or as stand-in left back) than getting rid of Jacobsen (a good, solid pro by the way) just to reduce the wage bill.

We should have been doing this weeks ago!

No, it's really not.

Both are average players and contributed very little last season. How many games did Jacobsen play? We have Salgado at right-back, Emerton too, and don't forget young Ramm.

Put simply TM, I'd sooner have Salgado at right back with Jacobsen as his understudy. Although he's a possible option at left back, a benched Chimbonda would create waves. Plus we have other options at left back anyway. I seem to remember Chimbonda being left out quite a lot last season too.

For me, Emerton is a capable understudy. It's arguably his best position for Rovers, and selling Jacobsen would free up another wage. It all adds up, you know.

I don't want to keep Chimbonda, I'm saying that if there's a buyer for one of them we should take it. There's no interest in Chimbonda, therefore we're stuck with him. He's obviously on a sweet deal here, because he usually he can't wait to high-tail it out of clubs.

Fair enough about Chimbonda.

And I can see your point about cashing in a right back but I do think that we have plenty of makeshift understudies - across the squad (Jacks of all trades, masters of none (like Andrews as a stand-in midfielder). Assuming Chimbonda CANNOT be sold for any price and if it's about freeing up a wage, let's cut our losses on him (and Andrews) and let the leave on frees. Possibly even sell Emerton or cash in on Nelsen. Those two are only going to depreciate.

Can we convince/afford anyone better to come in though? (rhetorical question).

Despite everything I've said, I've almost talked myself into agreeing with you. It's just if I had to put my faith in someone I'd rather be relying on Lars than Pascal.

Chimbonda clearly hasn't spent all his signing on fee yet, therefore does feel the need to "look" for a move. Would be happy to get shut. But as on £25-30k a week that's unlikely to happen.

Has the feeling of the strangest transfer window for years. Agree with Nicko post earlier that there a number of clubs trying to do deals who are either broke or should know better. Can see why we look such a good investment.

There's a number of crap players available, most of them for daft money (whether that's fees, wages or both).

Wonder what Nicko news is? Is a player we are looking at?

I can Imagine...Diouf deal not done(yet)......Roberts to WBA tomorrow....Beattie on his way with Moa.

Total guess mind!

Got a funny feeling a bid might have been made for Samba/Jones/Robinson! :huh:
