Vukcevic would be a good player for ROvers, playing behing Kalinic.

Totally agree! Was impressed when he played against Norway in a friendly. Lots of pace and technique. Fairly young at age 24. Bring him in or at least listen to what the demands!

[Veevs]

Agree there.. very good call and quiet a suprise... someone text Sam his name lol..

I doubt his wage demands would be huge and would knock in a few from midfield and at worst would be ideal cover for injury prone Dunny.

According to newspaper "Record", spanish club Espanõl has made a loan offer with a possible buy out clause.

But Sporting want to sell him now.

I understood that he was realeased from his contract therefore free transfer?

What do you think his price is?

[Oklahoma]

So far, he has been put on the transfer list and has till the end of the month to find a club for him.

If he doesn't, he will have to come to Lisbon and start preseason while he waits for a club to buy him.

According to transfermarkt.co.uk, he is worth close to £6 million but, given his current status, he would be worth £3 million or less(my guess).

Sporting are doing a major restructuring this season, selling, releasing and loaning several players that were on their team last season.

If we had the money to go for Guti or Vukcevic i would pick Vukcevic every time. 24 years old, real talented flair player and the potential of re-sale (something that is vital under our current owners).

Me too.

Even if I don't know I guess Guti's wage demands would be sky high.

Looking at his profile on Wikipedia, it looks like he's caused trouble everywhere he's been.

Perfect for Blackburn then!

Martin Petrov has agreed terms with Bolton Wanderers, according to the BWFC official site, thus ending speculation that he might be joining the Rovers.

Petrov Agrees Terms With The Wanderers

[Tim Southampton Rover]

As much as I like Petrov, we don't really need him when we've got Olsson and Pedersen.

The only targets we really need to focus on are strikers and someone who has a lot of creativity........oh and another right back to add to our collection

[Billy Castell]

I may be wrong, but I liked the look of Mphela and Tshakabala of South Africa. I assume we could afford at least one of them.

Sam regrets the Grella move didn't occur but still rates Vince:

Im glad someone does, the useless permo crock ****

Scariest thing about Grella is that he couldn't agree terms with Gala - who have Luca$ Neill on their books.

We've missed out huge on Petrov.

And I get the feeling that there are some fans on here who would deem it somewhat acceptable if we were to start the new season with any of Diouf, Emerton or MGP in the starting line-up. Which in my view would be nothing short of a cataclysmic disaster. The latter two were useful players once, but they are a million miles off Premiership quality today.

Add Andrews to the front of that list.

Overreact much?

Having awarded him a new bumper contract, I don't think any fans feel like MGP is going to be anywhere other than the first team next season.

Petrov of a few years ago would have been a massive coup - rapid and direct. Now he is injury prone and heavily criticised for a lack of application. He certainly doesn't seem one of these "give his all for his club" types that are increasingly rare these days.

Could we have missed out? Possibly. But having chosen to keep Pedersen I doubt Allardyce has even entertained the idea of getting anything other than a striker and a central midfielder, especially given our restricted budget.

[MeanGreenMachine]

No offence to Bolton, but it sort of tells you his current calibre when he winds up there.

[unclejack28]

fat sam on al jeerza network tonight for the Argentina game.

But Bolton "play football" according to Nicko, who can't see past his man-crush.

[Lathund]

In pretty much every post he makes.

Hmmm whats the difference between us (Bolton) and you guys? Not sure I see it (and lets be nice no funny answers here).

Respect Blackburn a well run club and like ourselves have done well to stay in the premiership over the past decade or so.

But can't see much difference in how attractive our clubs are to potential signings myself.

We have the secret ingredient though - Rovers bias as it's a Rovers forum.

You are right though whilst we do have a better recent history and finished higher there is very little between the clubs these days, us Rovers fans remember better times recently though and sometimes forget how things have changed.

[brian_gallagher85]

Anyone else think we should just bite the bullet on the "striker for £2m" front and just offer Celtic £1.5m for Samaras? I've always thought he was decent up front on his own and hasn't had a proper chance since leaving the Netherlands?
