[Archived] Transfer Window Part 3

[Valois]

Maybe we could talk Zidane out of retirement

He did almost sign for us once, I think you might be onto something there.

[True Blue & White]

Apparently Larsson's move to Newcastle has hit a snag with personal terms.. if Bentley is close to confirmation, Brum is probably eager to get rid of the Swede. Perhaps our Kentaro boys could help us with Larsson's terms.

Surely they'd be better talking to Bentley seeing as he is an SEM client unlike Larsson.

[rickard]

yeah, didn't we agree against signing Zidane because we already had Tim Sherwood or something like that?

[Kelbo]

I dont think thats what he is saying at all.He is saying that's how Liverpool fans would view him signing for them. It doesnt take a genuis to work out he would improve our first 11, it's certainly debateable of it would be an improvement on Gerrard and Meireles who are both box to box.

The two box to box midfielders are the reason Liverpools balance is all wrong!

Think you'll find Larsson is the SEM client.......

[Valois]

I think that description better fits yourself to be honest. Venky's is your abusive husband and instead o just admitting the truth you just say "but he loves me, he does!"

No this is what normally happens

1)Rovers enquire about player X (in private)

2)Club X tells us whether he's available (in private), what they don't then do is say how much they want as you imply..that would damage their negotiating position. The seller never gives his hand first.

3) Rovers then offer what he is worth (first stage in which publicity should come).

4) Club X accept, reject or ask for more.

5) Players signs/stays where he is.

This is what is happening now...

1) Rovers (or the Rao boys) fancy player X

2) Rovers/Raos go to the press to say we are trying to sign X

...then follow the steps from how it should be done.

You forgot to add -

player goes to club who makes first bid, as its obvious they want him more

Nope, not correct, ,but I wont go into that again!

Not like the Fake Blue & White to get something totally wrong.

Totti anyone?

[True Blue & White]

Never seen DeLorean play, assume he is a French midfielder?

More importantly, is he a Kentaro client?

[brian_gallagher85]

But just one of the reasons that they're shiteee!

[rickard]

Totti anyone?

Never!! Overrated and a dirty player. One of the few players I really despise! Rather have an E-H Diouf clone!

Step 1 & 2 is enquire to the club?? What about contact the players agent, put the feelers out & see if he fancies move? Cause trouble behind the scenes before you approach the club? Throw a few stories out in the press etc?

Its not as Black & White as you seem to think.

The same applies to Valois' post though, why not quote him as well?

Sorry I couldnt see it for all your posts in here... (Just kiddin so chill)

As for Totti - not what id like to see us sign. We either need prem experience or young potential. His wages will be huge too!

Get a grip mate, your losing the plot.

Just going based on our resident journo, who was linking Guidetti and Larsson to us in October? based on them being Kentaro. Perhaps things have changed since or he was misinformed.

Edit: according to your transfermarkt-link, Larsson's agent is Anders Karlsson, who is Kentaro's man. So I don't know what you're on about.

[True Blue & White]

Valois, you better get on Wikipedia and correct the figures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_club_owners

According to that (and no I have not edited it before you start) we have the second poorest owners in the EPL. You better set them straight as obviously Venky's is a £1 billion business

[imy9]

Why have we gone back to money and Venkys...again, can this not be dealt with in a separate thread, the same points are being made in the transfer thread!

Edit- true blue, the real irony is that the wiki page that you have linked shows that Venkys is worth 46 million, click on the article and it states that Venkys bought Rovers for 46 million- 322 crore, and is a 4000 crore business, which is over 500 million, and close to being a billion dollars which is what I have read in a number of places, now Times of India is a very respectable newspaper. Just goes to show how stupid Wiki can be.

Never touch an agent, use your players mate, they are the ones who put the feelers out, then if the player suggests he may move to the club, then take it further through the agent, if you really must have one and they will move from there.

Most of the British players who move between clubs are 'talked to' by a friend who is a player at the club in question, thats how it works.

[Pedderz0912]

Is there an 11 o'clocker tonight people? Has Nicko indicated anything today or can I finally get an early night lol. Overall I would be happy with Roque on loan, Adam perm and this young spanish lad - that would represent good business help us finish in top 10 and re-assess in summer and then really push on. Also think there is good players available in Championship that are at least worth checking out:

Craig Bellamy

Lewis Mcguigan

Adel Taraabt

Tyrone Mears (Sorry)

Jonathan Howson

Robert Snodgrass

David Wheater

Shane Long

Also Adam Lalana and Alex Chamberlain from Southampton look very good players!!

[novella]

Nicko has anything of note happened today? Will we be getting an update?

[LeChuck]

Adam Lallana is excellent, I posted about him a lot when Southampton initially went down to League One.

David Wheater would be a good Samba replacement should he leave, he's one who we could build up.
