[Archived] Summer Transfer Topic

[rebelmswar]

Translation from their Official club site.

I just completed negotiations between FC, Blackburn and Ivelin Popov. The attacker has the English football team. . All three countries are satisfied with the arrangements. Ivelin Popov comes back in Bulgaria on Thursday to collect their luggage and to submit documents for a British work visa. Popov next week will join Blackburn.

Well that is good news. Wonder how close to the 2 million mark the fee is?

[Mr. E]

and yeah, this is pretty good news if this is true. He is probably the best Bulgarian in the Bulgarian league, which isn't saying much, but at 22 years old and for only 2 million, this can turn out to be another great signing. I don't know how long it will take him to get adapted to the Premiership, as it really is a huge switch, but he has all the tools to be as good as Martin or Stilyan Petrov.

A Bulgarian site is reporting Popov has signed for 2 million pounds.

Looks set in stone to me.

Yeah, it looks like it really is official. Apparently he wasn't there for trials as reported, but just to pass the medical tests, which he did.

Is it audrey from Corrie???

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Is it audrey from Corrie???

Correct

[novella]

Does anyone know much about popov? Is he rated highly? I hadn't heard of him before

[brfc_jonesy]

Excuse my laziness.

I've been away a while and like many, shifting through the threads is a pure mission.

But who is this Popov fella? Any cop?......What wage is he likely to be on? (Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

[blue/white]

No no Mr Nixon is excellent at this job.Thats why i checked it & it didn't check out at my end.

various sources have that one, robertino.... one in particular has him at LA Vecchia on loan for a season before a 10 million (what? lira?) purchase. bollux, right??? they're cleaning house over there... why bring more of the same trash

(committment challenged playboys)they're clearing out? (Diego anyone????)

On one hand he might be exactly what we need...an attacking playmaker who is a good leader and can play on the right wing or in a more forward position. He can create and score goals. The only question is how long before he is ready. Might be like Kalinic and demand a bit of time, but then you have Nzonzi who settled in immediately...

[The Rover of Finland]

Is Van Heerden still our player? He is if you believe official site´s personal profiles.

[rebelmswar]

Is it audrey from Corrie???

No, its that chick from Rentaghost.

I thought it was your ma for awhile, it was dark after all.

the last Grand National winner w/o the bit in her mouth ???

[Exiled_Rover]

Nope, we sold him last year.

[davulsukur]

Sold? Left for nothing didn't he?

[imy9]

Popov is costing three million plus a 20% selling on fee according to wiki linked to the bulgarian website

[G Somerset Rover]

Popov has done well to pass an Allardyce 'Test' this quickly if true..

[neophox]

Popov is more exciting than Petrov and Berbatov and defo one for the future. A future star but at the age of 22 he could well be playing soon!

[LeChuck]

Someone going to give Popov his own topic then? It's on the Litex website so must be true.

Sounds alot like a younger, fitter Dunn. If he can live up to his potential we could a hell of a prospect here.

[Bobby G]

When did this happen? I hadnt even heard of us interested in Popov, let alone sign him so quickly. He looks like a link player between midfield and attack and if its true that he is costing 2-3 million pounds, isnt it a bit weird considering the fact that the club is in takeover talks?

[1864roverite]

Just caught up with all the nonsense on the previous thread.

some of our members are clearly ungrateful at the snippets and info from our visitor Mr Nixon. he may be scottish, he may be a mirror newspaper employee/subscriber or whatever and he may be a jags/bolton fan but hey, be happy that he comes on here and gives us fans a decent honest view and his info is almost always spot on.

Appreciate what we get because I bet there are plenty of other forums that would love to have hom onboard
