[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[Iceman]

No idea...

There IS something stirring at Rovers with a player.

I don't want to go all 'LT' on you here and talk about mystery targets, but let's see how it plays out.

No pestering PMs either please.

so you know who the player is? and you didnt say we couldnt pester you on here though, so i wont pm you, but ask you to name the player, Mr Cryer in disguise

[LeChuck]

LeChuck was talking about Jelavic earning that amount not Beattie.

I certainly was, although I didn't make that very clear I must admit.

Sorry for the confusion caused.

This one will be resolved one way or another today. I don't intend to build up hopes or give any clues. This isn't a club line to placate the masses. This is something that has come up, has a chance and could be sorted out quickly.

You have waited all summer for something good to happen. So just do breathing exercises in the meantime.

One catch - I will only name him later if it is going to happen. I am tired of making calls on players who you chase and fail to sign and then get slaughtered for it.

Meanwhile have a look at Clarets Mad and see some joker taking the rise right out of the locals. I will say again, it's not me.

This is the first time I'm ever going to believe Tribal Football because it's saying what I want to hear

True, lot of our targets are being snapped up, or very close to being snapped up - think we've taken Benjani in on trial as last chance at the disco (so we have a contingency plan)...

Yep.

Benjani is the last leg in the Kentucky Football Chicken Bargain Bucket.

Nobody wants him because the meat is old, tough and he's all broken.

But 'Big' Sam doesn't turn down food, as we can see. Waste not, want not and all that.

[Ricky]

I'm hoping for Guiza, Pentacote(sp?), or Jelavic... please be any one of those

[mogster]

Was the last line still part of the analogy?

[rovers1995]

Nicko one last question. is the player in question a striker- yes or no

[alexanders]

That Guiza article is inspiring as it doesnt look like it is related to an old article.

[philipl]

So it could be the Guiza geeza

(couldn't resist- sorry)

In fairness nicko has said this one has legs when all the evidence pointed against it.

Ha ha. They certainly THINK it's you!

please let it be true, but where do we get 5mill?

[mogster]

Think story came from here...

http://fanatik.ekolay.net/Guizaya-bir-talip-daha_3_Detail_394_189850.htm

... no, just translated it properly and it mentions Daily Mail. Oh well.

[Bazrakats]

please let it be true, but where do we get 5mill?

Even if it is in instalments it might be true. Remember transfers on the continent rarely get paid all in one so it could be possible.

I think Nicko said ages ago this is what Sam did at Bolton when they bought players so maybe hes convinced the board to let us do it.

[philipl]

The rules are normalised everywhere- equal instalments over the life of the new contract with 25% down.

It was JW and Sparky who pushed that particular envelope getting the rest of football to fund our purchases whilst we were still getting cash on the nail from our sales.

[donis1410]

Have Rovers announced their squad numbers for next season?

[Bobby G]

Fanatik is one of the most unreliable gossip things out there. Its a BS non-story. Guiza will leave though that much is certain.

[WaffleWag]

A surprise transfer...

The press here is saying Man Utd payed 10 million € for a player that signed a few weeks ago for Vitoria Guimaraes coming from the second division...

Reminds me of Kevin Davies.

[dj54nna]

It was just as much a fat joke as it was a sad metaphor for the state of our transfer window.

Ha ha. They certainly THINK it's you!

They also think the Sun moves round the Earth and that women who can float in water are witches.

They're easily startled, but they'll be back - and in greater numbers.

[Will]

Ha ha. They certainly THINK it's you!

Which topic is it?

[mogster]

Which topic is it?

The Tom Eaves one...

[Bobby G]

Lets hope Jelavic doesnt become another Dzeko for us. We scouted Dzeko on at least 5 times in his breakthrough season but did not move in for him and missed out on one of the best prospects in Europe.

It's like watching 50 bald men fighting over a comb...and then finding out it isn't a comb...hilarious.

Who or what is a 'peterplop'?

At Post 105 someone suggested it might not be you. Brilliant!

Credit to peterplop though - played his role superbly.

They're fairly aggressive towards you and The Mirror. It's a good job they can't leave the '70's timewarp that is their town!

[BuckyRover]

This transfer isn't going to happen.

Beattie will return. Does anyone seriously believe it won't happen?
