[Archived] Transfer Window Part 2

[Sandiway Blue]

Swap deal does seem a possibility. Possibly another midfielder such as Emerton, Andrews or Grella?

Given their wage structure i doubt it,maybe a youngster though?

[LeftWinger]

Nicko said not in the expected direction so I dont see how that is positive.

He did also say 'possibly good in the end' though.

Were buying Adam but he stays at Blackpool on loan

[ewoodpo]

Samba to Arsenal.

[sparkspakespoke]

Anther club has bid, which should force our hand.

I just hope Holloway doesnt want one of our keepers, have a feeling he may!!!

[Majiball]

That's rubbish. We pay Samba a salary and he works for that salary. Nobody owes anybody anything. If I didn't work for my company I'd be unemployed but I don't owe them anything.

It puzzles me that people talk about "rescuing" players from doldrums, like it's some sort of charity of favour. We signed him because we thought he might be good at football and help our team and thankfully that has turned out to be the case!

I think comparing football to everyday working life is rubbish as well.

I'm sure we can all draw parallels between working life and football, but they are not the same and never will be.

[BangkokRover]

Hope it's for some serious money. Could be difficult to get a replacement for Samba in the January window.

Cheers

It would be great do get Adam and send some of our players to them.

Hope Chimbonda could go, even if Rovers have to help paying his wages.

Andrews, Grella and Roberts could also go for me...

[Majiball]

Has Ronnie done a U turn and decided that money matters?

[Kelbo]

I keep hearing all these names mentioned but have we actually put a biid in for any of these yet? I ask because if Kean is to unveil players at a press conference (having seen no evidence of us actually bidding for players) they simply must be loanees?

[Hi Mack]

Adam confirms he's staying at Blackpool until his contract expires....the good news being he'll be free the bad news we won't be his only suitors!

[deftangel]

Tone of Nicko's comments sounds like we'll miss out this window but there may be a silver lining. Obviously we can try and infer this to death for 8 hours!

IMO, we still need a central midfielder of that ilk so given that Blackpool were always likely to make this one difficult (and well within their rights to) then I hope a back up option exists.

in sky sports:

Newcastle are hoping to win the race for David Bentley

Miroslav Klose can leave Bayern Munich. His contract ends in June.

[RoverMad86]

First Post.

I think Adam would be a good signing, within reason. We don't want to go all in and give Hollaway all what he wants.

Can't see any Rover going there due to their £10k wage barrier.

Samba needs an arm around his shoulders and a kick up the rear to get his head back in the real world and stay at Rovers for the next 6 months at least and see what happens!

[S15]

I'd take Klose over Santa Cruz.

[dj54nna]

Adam on loan til the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal. However, there'll be clauses up to our eyeballs and if he does any good with us he'll cost an absolute fortune. This would take Roque out of the picture which would mean finding a striker for a reasonable price.

That's my prediction. Wouldn't be the worst result out of all the suggestions, but if they won't let us buy him outright.

I'd hate Samba to go to Villa. Be worse than seeing Brad leave for them.

[brian_gallagher85]

Blackpool have offered him to us?

My thoughts too, perhaps they've come to us with a fee after the reported interest from Venkys on SSN and Twitter.

[m0r94n]

Given their wage structure i doubt it,maybe a youngster though?

I'm trying to think of who we would exchange. One of the keepers maybe? Kean or Fielding?

Miroslav Klose can leave Bayern Munich. His contract ends in June.

Half of me quite likes the idea of Klose at Blackburn, I've got him down in my head though as a very hit and miss type of striker. Saying that, I'd rather him than Santa Cruz. Even when he was playing for us I always felt that it was more him having a great run than has ability, can't put my finger on why though having never seen him play before us.

I still find the concept of him going to either Villa or Arsenal hilarious. Villa would be a step sideways and I think he'd play the exact same role for Arsenal as he has done for Blackburn, something Wenger has criticised us for.

[Iceman]

Another team in for Adam, but he rejects them, becsuse he wants to join the Venkys Xprs?

[Majiball]

I'd take Klose over Santa Cruz.

I'd like Klose as well, great player and always scores goals.

[Bobby G]

Klose only scores for Germany.

Bentley I wish.

[hawkiiz]

Villa in for Adam, leaves us with Ireland?

[braddock]

I'd like Klose as well, great player and always scores goals.

3 goals in the last season and a half for Bayern, but yes, I'd be interested in him if he can prove he still has it.
