That's because he's suspended ;)

Just shows, once again, that until a signing is reported on the official club website, it's not happened.

As an aside, the LET have the better Rovers contacts out of all newspaper and red-top rags, often direct from the chairman, so I don't really understand the poo-pooing of the news they've reported.

Particularly so with Popov, as it's turned out to be the most correct information on here.

The LET are hardly the front runners on rovers related stories and seem to only get any relevant information (i don't count repetitive talk about a mystery striker as relevant) a day or 2 after the national papers/SSN/nicko has reported it. The LET are very much behind everything albeit I admit that when things like this are announced directly from John Williams it is a bit more like actual journalism.

Who got to wiki?

On 18 August 2010 it was officially announced that Ivelin Popov would play for Blackburn Rovers [3], after successfully passed the medical tests. The transfer fee is about £3 million and 20% of an eventual transfer.(citation needed)

Popov is quoted as saying "I can not wait to smash Burnley, I hate them soooo much. I love all Blackburn fans, well except that Vinjay bloke..."

Cryer: "Hi, John.

JW: "who is this"

Cryer: "Its Andy Cryer from the LT"

JW: "oh, alrite"

Cryer: "is Popov signing with Rovers"

JW: "he is somebody we are looking at, but he has not signed yet"

Cryer: "thanks John"

Twitter

Big Willy: "Cryer, is Popov signing?"

Cryer: "no he has not signed with Rovers yet, he is one of the players we are looking at"

Keep up lad, that fact was posted last night, hence the emoticon after the comment, "he did not travel".

No it would go like this -

Cryer: "Hi, John.

JW: "who is this"

Cryer: "Its Andy Cryer from the LT"

Cryer: "Oh... Well I suppose I will have to guess.

I know. Why don't we all talk about a player who hasn't signed for us yet and make out as though our chairman is making things up.

I'm guessing 99.99999999% of members here aren't in the know!

Regardless, unfounded speculation related to rovers is my chosen specialist subject.

So, the guy is/has having/had a trial/test/medical as a fact/rumour. What's the general consensus are we thinking more likely signing or not signing.

I have been doing some reading about this lad and tbh, although it is based solely on other peoples views, he does seem to be a real player with a good reputation.

He is adored throughout Bulgaria as a hero. If you compare this to the other Bulgars in the Premiership or world football, he out does Berbatov and Petrov by a long way.

I hope he dopes sign for us because he certainly knows the way to goal.

Feeling very positive about Popov too.

On a similar point though, Gamst Pedersen famously beat King Harald V by coming second in a newspaper survey of the most famous people in Norway.

Well I'm not surprised. I've never heard of King Harald V.

More telegraph bashing it seems when they are right it seems, how can they be ridiculed for having a direct quote from JW on the issue is beyond me.

I hope he does sign though the kind of player we need

apparently he has returned to Bulgaria, but declined to speak to journalists. The rumors are he did have a medical at Ewood, but failed it as they found narcotics in his system.

This is becoming a comedy. A sad one.

Really? Failed because of narcotics?!? I hope that's just some more bogus Bulgarian journalism!

more popping jokes?

Seriously, the behaviour of Litex Lovech makes sense now. Sorry to impugn your fellow countrymen Mr E but posting the "done deal" all over their website is the way in my experience that the thought processes of business people in that part of the world work when they have a useless asset they desperately want to flog off (to a non-local).

If it was a narcotics test the board of sports arbitration would be informed and he wouldn't be playing for anyone right? can nicko shed some light or is he absent to prove his worth?

Indeed.

I notice my quip popin, popout, popov got deleted.....

Anyway good luck to Litex and thanks for the confirmation Popov is back with you, unod. Sadly it looks like everybody everywhere are losers on this episode.
