Whilst he can be very frustrating, I would keep Roberts - can still cause teams problems with his play and who knows, maybe his finishing might get better with age :rolleyes:

Shown where the money goes! was it not ince who gave him a new contract? he's not worth 3 pounds never mind thirty grand!

Bit unfair that. Whilst Zurab was never our best centre half he usually stepped up to the mark OK whenever necessary. He's obviously not worth 30k pw and thats is why he is still here. Anybody know what his pay was previously?

Sam needs his head examined if he thinks Benjani or Beattie are better than Roberts. Like not only is it the wrong opinion, I actually believe he would need a medical check-up if such nonesence is flowing through his head.

I can see the logic in Benjani - he is on a free transfer. Sell Roberts for £1.5m - bring in Benjani for much needed cover - then Sam has £4m for a major (for us) striker signing. I would agree that Roberts is better than Benjani - but overall we could end up stronger by selling Roberts for the right fee.

Trouble is that one of those teams is ours!

Did anyone else notice the quote from the people....

Midfielder Andranik Teymourian and striker Rodrigo Branco have been given extended trials at Ewod Park.

people link (already posted but done again just as a reference)

Seems Branco the brazilian from an unknown team scored in his first game as well.. ok it was against the mighty vauxhaul motors but sounds like they are doing ok if they have had their trials extended.

NB the Vauxhaul game was a reserve game.. branco played 57mins

Have we upped the pursuit for the Mexican starlet Gio dos Santos?

I was having a look on their official board today, they have released their squad numbers, two numbers to TBA, Dos Santos is one of them, guess they are waiting to see who the comings and goings are, strange though as Keane has been given one.

Sums it up perfectly.

Then, perhaps, this left-sided defender - the Paraguayan lad has a ring of truth to me. No evidence to support it though.

I cant see that one being true...think the left back target might be French ;)

Wow destroying younger players by not getting the arm band in a friendly bit ott. Prob got it as he was one of the more senior players on the pitch and an international.

A captain should have the respect of the players, respect is earned and he really hasnt earned it!!!

Maybe so but who would you have given it to that had earned it on the pitch as much as you might hate him who on the pitch from the other day had earned it Fielding Ramm, Jones, Hanley, Gunning; Nzonzi, Andrews, Olsson; Blackman, Hoilett, Roberts ?. Roberts is the only possible one who could have earned it but some don't like him so it might have been the same argument diff player if he had got it.

Maybe just maybe some of the younger players might look at andrews and see some one who has had a difficult career has been in the lower leagues bounced about and now late in his career has got to the top and is an internationalthrough hard work and not giving up even though some fans at his own club want him to fail.

An important factor which I hadnt considered before is that from this season, in fact from the end of the transfer window in August, all prem teams must have no more than 25 players registered with their club over the age of 21.And of those 8 must be Home Grown Players(HGP factor).I have just done a quick check of the squad and I reckon we are smack on the 17 foreign over-21 players. I understand now why Sam is anxious to get rid of Zurab and possibly Roberts in order to free up some space.I would be grateful if someone could verify those figures from DoB`s etc. but it does have massive implications for clubs.City for example have 32 over-21 players so they will have to offload 7 of those.

Incidentally clubs can have an unlimited number of under-21 players so that could be the way forward.

As a player I can tell you they dont, first hand info, not hearsay!!

Arsenal are buggered then, maybe Chelsea and Man City too!

I did a similar check a while back and got only 14:

Not home grown: Jacobsen, Samba, Givet, Nelsen, Emerton, Grella, Pedersen, Khizanishvili, N'Zonzi, Diouf, Kalinic, Salgado, Rigters, Chimbonda

Home grown: Robinson, Dunn, Roberts, Andrews, Olsson, Judge, Fielding, Brown, Bunn

Under 21: Linganzi, Doran, Hoilett, Jones, Gunning, Hanley

Of the U21-group, Linganzi will be in the "Not home grown" group in 2011-12. Not quite sure about Hoilett, as he's been on our books long enough, but the official term is "registered", which he might've been to the German clubs. Rest will be home grown.

Exactly- which is why there is a chance there could be a flood of homeless desperate Prem level players about to come onto the market.

Might make recruitment by Rovers easier but how are we going to sell the players we would rather say goodbye to when the non-squad rejects from City, Man U, Chelsea, Spurs and so on hit the market?

I think Hoilett will be classed as home grown, he's offically been a Blackburn rovers player since 2007 it think, its just he didnt have a work permit. As long as he was registered with the club in some kind of capacity he should be fine
