He's already said he hasn't got names yet as today is just checking on the players we already have and getting them started. The trialists are supposedly not due till later this week.

Forgive me if this has been posted already

Ledley to Stoke a done deal

[Exiled_Rover]

Such a depressing time to be a Rovers fan. Can we sign ANY targets?

[roversfan99]

What i dont understand is that Sam was reported to want Guti(and Raul) before news of a potential takeover broke. Surely hed still want them no matter the budget

Btw we are apparently after Mainz striker Aristide Bance:

No, I've just sent a sicilian hitman to shoot him,i'll get another source.

Really? I'd have thought they would have all been busy "dealing" with the Italian national side

[Oklahoma]

Nicko, any news on Yebda?

I think Rovers could get him on loan from Benfica...

[Bobby G]

Have you heard something Oklahoma or do you mean he is attainable in your opinion?

[Oklahoma]

Last news I heard of him was that Arsenal was interested in him. Probably agent talk.

Hee is not part of the plans for Benfica this season and the idea is to sell him or loan him with no costs (salary paid by the club that gets him).

Same happens for Halliche, Makukula and others.

I think he could be a good option for Rovers midfield, specially if Rovers can get him on loan.

Let's hope the hit man doesn't shoot the messenger.

Sky, linking us with Bance again.

[neophox]

Rovers should try and sign Luca Toni. He's on a free transfer and is the perfect player for us. At 33 I still do believe he has 3 good years left before he retires.

Wherever he's been he has scored.

[neophox]

I will do if and when they arrive...the first couple of days of this week may just be fitness tests for the players around...hearing arrivals not expected until end of the week.

thanx!

One player that has impressed me lately is Pablo Barrera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Barrera

Would love to see that player at Rovers. But unlikely to happen. Any interest from other teams?

[RoyRover]

United have been impressed with Barrera apparently. I thought the same thing about the guy after his performance against France. I'm sure you're looking at £10 million to buy that guy.

Everything is at a standstill just now because of takeover-talk events.

[roversfan99]

So would you say the Bance story is just agent talk?

[Majiball]

Everything is at a standstill just now because of takeover-talk events.

Is there anything of interest happening elsewhere?

[roversam]

Nicko how likely is a quick resolution to the takeover situation

The board must know we need to strengthen.

Have Bolton signed the two Madrid kids and is it true they have signed a mexican super teen?

[Iceman]

Nicko's head must be spinning right now with all these questions Nicko, how is Mrs Nicko's handbags doing ?

I just hope, that we have something lined up if the takeover does not happen. If we dont, then i can see Benjani or Beattie arriving, because we will just go into a state of panic.

How to make a good first impression with the fans eh?

Joining Genoa.

In talks with Lazio about loan to buy.

City still think They have a good chance of signing Dzeko,Milner,Kolarov and Ibrahimovic.

[Hi Mack]

OMG how glum is this summer? First Beattie and Benjani then England (still angry) then Beattie and Benjani AGAIN!!!!

[knobs]

Any truth in rumors regarding:

Tevez to Madrid

Sniejder to Utd

Fabiano to Utd

Ibra to City

Roberto?

[neekoy]

Makukula

What's this guy been up to? If he is available from Benfica he could suit our style well.

[roversfan99]

Isnt he the guy who was really bad at Bolton last year

[neekoy]

Isnt he the guy who was really bad at Bolton last year

He only had half a dozen games or so, certainly not enough to write him off. Portgual have only taken two out and out strikers otherwise he would have certainly been there.
