[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Eddie]

There are many in a similar state. The disappointment is that Rovers were safe months before many and have lost that advantage because of dithering and the takeover 'issue.'

Exactly. It's like the teacher told us the topics for the exam and we just decided not to study.

I can't help but feel that the takeover talk is very convenient for the club. It's a great excuse to not spend money.

Let's keep our powder dry until 2018. That's when there will really be some bargains.

A rehash of the Guiza story

He would be a brilliant signing, just look at his goal record. And the last time Sam bought a big money striker from Turkey, he turned out to be quite decent....

Its a shame its almost certainly complete rubbish, especially for that fee. Oh well, its someone else for Cryer to deny if it is rubbish

[Steve Moss]

I stopped reading after it said £ 5 million.

Dani Guiza is not completely out of the question, if Grella and Roberts have both been sold for what I would assume would be a combined 3 million. Add that to the existing transfer budget and it would be doable, but would leave precious little for another midfielder.

[roversfan99]

If i was Sam id really be nagging the board trying to sign Guiza. For a couple of extra million over other targets(which could be recouped by the sales of Grella and Roberts) wed have a striker who has scored goals at a brilliant rate throughout his career, without ever being in a top team. He was the top scorer in La Liga a couple of years ago despite none of the goals being penalties. Just bring in him and maybe Andranik and sell Grella, Roberts and fringe players if possible. Id be delighted if he was the mystery striker but i doubt it somehow.

Sam has told the LT that there are one or two irons in the fire, these have emerged over the last few days and he is excited by them.

Guiza link in the Mail doesn't add anything to what has already been posted. Young Boys dumped Fener out of the Europa.

After the dire summer we've had I could get excited over Beattie.

[Parsonblue]

The LT today is reporting that Andranik Teymourian is likely to sign this week once his work permit issues are sorted. This surely must mean that the Rovers are hoping to part company with Grella. I assume he wasn't in Scotland for the same reason as Roberts - the Rovers not wanting him to get injured before we can sell him.

[RoyRover]

Dani Guiza? Eh, yes please. Don't see this one happening, unless we offload Roberts and a few other duds.

[PAFELL]

Unless there is money available (from possible takeover being kept quiet until after the transfer window shuts) and there will be a lot of activity in the last few days.

GUIZA...don't dismiss that for two reasons...first, the manager said a new name had come up and he is certainly that...second, one of the agents pushing him round is close to the manager.

It will never happen at £5 million, but a cheap deal or even a loan would make it a contender.

There are clearly new people being considered all of the time in the past few weeks. That would be why so many come up and disappear just now.

Mental.

Would be a great signing. this week is going to be busy at Ewood Park with transfers!!!

[Roberto Policano]

How much is Jacobsen on?.Not sure Leece could pay his wages.

Thought Guiza was off to Rubin Kazan.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Oh no. The single worst emotion to feel during a Rovers transfer window. Optimisim. Nicko, please rubbish this Guiza link quickly and reassure us our frontline will consist of Beattie/Benjani come Saturday.

[philipl]

Let's see.

It will be busy for sure but it will need a combination of luck and highly skilled negotiating to land anyone this week.

I still fancy there could be some remarkable deals going in the last week of the window as the squad rules really bite.

[koi]

If Sam had witnessed my recent double cuppies performance I'd be in with a shout of a deal.

[nicko]

The big Manchester City clearance starts today...SWP among them too, by the sounds of it.

[imy9]

Guiza? Wow! Awesome player- no chance.

[47er]

Has Guti signed with anyone yet? Is that deal completely beyond us? I ask because I haven't heard anything about him for weeks.

Made his debut for Besiktas last weekend.

[davulsukur]

So it sounds like we are signing Andranik Teymourian this week after work permits sorted out. Did anyone actually see him play in pre season? Is he anygood? Doesn't look great not getting games at Bolton or Fulham. What kind of midfielder is he?

Also if the man city clearout starts today, SWP to Liverpool?

[Roberto Policano]

What kind of midfielder is he?

@#/?.

will carlos tevez be amongst the exodus?

[davulsukur]

@#/?.

Lol, set myself up for that one!

[Hi Mack]

Onuha Bellamy Ireland swp and Richards are all expected to leave.......some teams could find some real bargains.....but expect to pay crazy wages!
