nicko Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Well, it won't be Frederic Piquionne... http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2010/20100715_195623_piquionne-accord-ol-west-ham.html
ewoodpo Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Surely it must be Luca Toni?!? I hope you made the above comment in jest, why would Luca Toni even consider a trial at any club.

Alan75 Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Is the new midfielder Eden Hazard, he's not been mentioned on here before. :lol: Phew miss read that as Eddie Izard
chaddyrovers Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 1.25m Euros isnt a bad price for him! Good price for west ham. if rovers want him they would have sign him last season before Kalinic.

ewoodpo Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Luca Toni has recently signed for Genoa on a 2 year deal, 4 Million Euros per season. Still has an excellent goal scoring record goals are in brackets. –1996 Modena 32 (7) 1996–1997 Empoli 3 (1) 1997–1998 Fiorenzuola 26 (2) 1998–1999 Lodigiani 31 (15) 1999–2000 Treviso 35 (15) 2000–2001 Vicenza 31 (9) 2001–2003 Brescia 44 (15) 2003–2005 Palermo 80 (50) 2005–2007 Fiorentina 67 (47) 2007–2010 Bayern Munich 60 (38) 2010 → Roma (loan)[2] 15 (5) 2010– Genoa 0 (0) National team‡ 2004– Italy 47 (16)
AggyBlue Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Why oh why do we need another 'keeper? We've got Robbo, Bun, Brown and Fielding already. Even if one goes, we've still got more than sufficient cover. The mind boggles. I'd imagine we're looking to ship Bun and Brown out. Frank would be the Number 2 keeper next season.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I'd imagine we're looking to ship Bun and Brown out. Frank would be the Number 2 keeper next season. I think Bunn or Brown will go but not both. We don't have enough quality goalkeepers in our ranks to support the sale of both. I think Brown will be the goalkeeper who will be looking to move purely because he wants to play first team football and also wants to get back into the Wales team. Bunn has learnt his trade in the lower divisions and is now ready to become the number 2 goalkeeper for Blackburn.

Kelbo Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I'd imagine we're looking to ship Bun and Brown out. Frank would be the Number 2 keeper next season. I watched Frank twice at Rochdale last season as wasnt overly impressed with him, time is on his side though as he is quite young for a keeper.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah to replace either Bunn or Brown. Not 1 in, 2 out. If they both leave and we get this new keeper then we could face the situation where Robinson gets injured, then we'd only be left with our new keeper & an inexperienced Fielding and other untested youth players. We don't want to be in the situation Man City were in last season. Anyway, for all we know this keeper on trial could be another youngster for the future or might be pants.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I watched Frank twice at Rochdale last season as wasnt overly impressed with him, time is on his side though as he is quite young for a keeper. I agree, he isn't consistent enough to become our number 2 keeper yet and is still learning a lot. I also still have doubts over his height to become a top level keeper. I know there have been high profile goalkeepers out there such as Casillas & Barthez who are approx 5' 11" but they were already playing first team football for top clubs by the time they were Fieldings age. I'd like to see him go out on loan for another season and maybe try and get Championship football or at a good standard in league 1.
BPF Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 It's 10:15pm. When's the 11 o clocker? I don't understand why it's not already on. It is 10:15pm. I miss those comments. Don't worry lads, maybe Luca Toni will manage us one day.
alexanders Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Where's the 11 o'clocker? IN my country it is 11:25. Nicko, your late!
67splitscreen Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Still no goals from Jelavic. 2-0 winners tonight, Jelavic with an assist for Hoffman and Trimmel, that's two in two for him. 2-0
Balwer Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Logged on and checked the takeover thread, to find I'm the only one there. Must be an 11 O'Clocker I say to myself, and sure enough, there's 55 people logged on with the same thought process (only no Nicko). p.s as an Aussie a big yes to Holman, box-to-box and can score a goal. Unsure on Vidosic just yet, hasn't done enough (although it's still early days).
nicko Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 The surprise trialist is due to be an Isareli lad called Gai Assulin, who has just left Barcelona. Assulin was a big talent as a kid and played for his country at a very young age. He had a bad knee injury and lost a season but played for Barca ressies last season and also appeared in some of their friendlies. He is only 19, a gifted midfielder. And if he accepts the Rovers invite he should be here very soon. Obviously a free and the wages are not ridiculous, so it fits with the current situation. No more clues on the keeper and the striker who may head over too. Assulin seems to be the first expected.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Interesting! A friend of mine raved about him as well. Might try and get a bit of gossip about him to see what we can expect. Any idea if he's got any other trials planned at other clubs in England?
