[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Iceman]

a mate of mine told me, that Chaddy was sold today for a fee of 100 hundred SA morands and he will no longer play with BRFCS.

whats up with all these defensive midfielders, that we are being linked with? Is it that every season, we have to fill a certain position? 1st it was goalkeepers, then right backs, and now this. Where are the creative midfielders?

[RoverRich]

Surely Big Sam must have left to talk to a player/club/agent about a signing. Can't see him leaving a game early to do business for any other reason. Hopefully Nicko or anyone else with their contacts can give us an explanation.

I think, as Nicko seems to, it means we are looking to move somebody out (hopefully Grella). I doubt we will be signing more than one defensive mid.

[Iceman]

i know what Nicko has said, he is my uncle he tells me everything.

As our midfield is absolute dogs*$!#, I welcome any news about midfielders being linked to the club. Defensive or no. As long as they can tackle, run, pass the ball to a teammate and stay on the f'ing field they're an upgrade over everyone we have bar N'Zonzi.

[Derby Blue]

Unless his work permit hasnt been sorted, but hes played, and we didnt mention the Kalinic deal until everything was in place.

In the same way that trialists can play pre season matches, I guess Diouf was allowed to play without having all the registration documents completed. Hopefully just a formality though.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I am only assuming that if he had work permit problems then he wouldn't have been able to play no matter what. Surely the usual UK/EU working law applies whether it's football or not?

I imagine he's signed for the season, work permit has been granted and he's ready to play against Everton.

[Mafioso]

Why would work permit be a problem if we're loaning him from an english club?

[nicko]

Dear me, it's obviously been a dull day...

Reo-Coker has been approached by Rovers. Sadly some people have only one source of info and can't be assed checking.

The bottom line is the player is not sure he wants to leave Villa at this moment. However the move is there if he wants to go.

There are some things going on at Villa that make him think it would be better for him to hold on for a little while longer.

Rovers were in Europe, watching a striker. I hope he played. For many reasons.

In the meantime, back to the bickering...and, nephew Iceman, get to bed.

[Ricky]

I guess if Milner goes to city and Liverpool go for petrov then he may well be there 1st choice cm.

[Iceman]

its been a long day uncle Alan.

Nicko, is NRC holding out hope of playing more at Villa, if or when the Milner deal goes through? Im guessing this is the hold up.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I'm pretty sure if anyone who isn't an EU national, footballer or not, changes where they work then they have to get a new work permit. I could be wrong as i'm certainly no expert in this field so if anyone can share any light into this then feel free too!

[nicko]

You could say he hopes his chances will improve soon ... but his agent wants him to make the break now.

[roversfan99]

Ireland could be part of that deal, which will hopefully be the end of his Villa career....

does reo coker expect over rated o'neill to get the boot soon then?

[LDRover]

Or O'Neill is on thin ice?

[Denis_B]

Coker has previously intimated he will run his contract down and cash in next Summer

[patchrovers]

I wouldn't mind bringing in paul scharner on a free, he hasn't got a club yet has he?

Scharner is a decent player, although a complete nutcase.

Where would he fit in, though?

He'd play because the rest of the midfield are usually always injured.

First answer was better!

[aXept]

If Rovers looked on a striker in Europe now, where? France?

[rovers1995]

Nicko, where was big sam today. He left the game 20 mins early to do some business?

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Psychological warfare would be my guess it's not like the shops are shut after half five when it comes to multi-million pound transfers, is it? There's a few clubs waiting on us to make a formal bid and if it gets around that Sam left to "do some business" and he didn't ring you, then he must be on to one of the other players he's looked at..

Just a conspiracy theory, anyway.

[Greedy_Crawford]

Can see MON getting the boot, hence why NRC is maybe keen to stay on for a while. Think he would do a good job for us as long as not suspended all the time.

Maybe BFS was off early from the game today to talk to Marlon King's probation officer....
