roverlution Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone think Denilson (at Arsenal) may be available and worth a punt following his remarks about Fabregas?

thenodrog Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 JAL my friend. IF Sam was splitting us (the fans) imagine what Joey Scum would do. A lot of people have already said they would stop going to Ewood if he put on the famous blue and whites. I am all for a player who fights and gives his all on the pitch (involving some nasty tackles and a red card now and then), but a criminal thug is something else and he really doesnt seem to change (ie the punch on Gamst). I would not be able to cheer for this guy if he scored for us knowing he earns a lot of dosh and is disgusting. Barton's a whip top all right but that was little more than a playful nudge. I rem Big John Macnamee gaining almost hero status for sparking out Ted MacDougal (once he'd checked that the ref was looking the other way) who after a ball had been hoofed clear had gone over to remonstrate with him right in front of the Blackburn End. I think MacDougall just about managed to scream two words in his ear before he got levelled with a haymaker. I remember Mike Ferguson being more than a little handy with his fists too. Glenn Keeley master of most of the darker martial arts was hero worshipped too.(btw why does he never ever look any older?) All this Joey Barton this and Joey Barton that is just a load of hot air imo. People said the same about Speedie, Dickov, Sav and Diouff but to be honest they have all contributed more than most to BRFC's cause while they were/are here and all quickly became crowd favourites. Like it or not we all like to see aggravating, hot blooded and spirited players wearing the blue and white halves.
Hughesy Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I think JJ can be our Joey Barton….no need to sign the lowest of lows….12 months ago Id have given him a chance as a reformed person, but he has just proved time and time again that he is a n0bhead! The retaliation to the soft lad Pedersen showed that wild streak he has that can be touched too easily. It also splits fans, which is something the new owners need to avoid too as they already have enough snipers on here alone. Suggestions Chelsea, Arsenal & Spurs all interested in Cahill – but put off by there £25m valuation…. IF TRUE - £25m for Cahill is WAYYYYYY over the top….however it also says £6m for Samba is an absolute NO….also to back that up – Smalling with little experience cost in the £10m bracket last season – so id say ABSOLUTE minimum we set our asking price for Samba has to be £15m. Also if a club likes Arsenal WANTS him then they should trade us some decent youth prospects, Jay-Emmanuel & Vela would smooth it over for me.
Ferrit Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Ive already stated in this thread that I dont even rate Samba that highly, but £6 million? If we rolled over for anything close to that, I wouldn't be too impressed.
Pelio Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I listened to John Cross (the guy who wrote the Samba to Arsenal article in the Mirror) on Talksport this morning and he didn't sound convincing to me. It almost sounded like he was giving his opinion that Wenger should go for Samba because he doesn't think Bolton will sell Cahill. I don't know, I could be wrong but it just sounded like it was an educated guess more than concrete evidence that Wenger was in for Samba. I listened too and got the same feeling. Cross said nothing to say that a bid is imminent. Only really saying that in his opinion, Samba would be a good choice for Wenger....
Guest Walshy Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I'm not complaining just not getting too excited like Alexanders is. Young lads fight all the time, so I dont see why people should be upset with Joey Barton and his past actions, think he'd be ideal in Blackburn. But Micheal Bradley would be more than ideal for Rovers. Is Steve Kean not trying to get shut of EHD? Why on earth would he want to bring in another player from the same mould i.e. a d1ck!! Just be happy with what is going on rather than criticise players because YOU have never heard of them or dont know enough about them!!
nicko Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Samba. Arsenal? £6 million? When Aston Villa were quoted £10 million a few days ago. There will be a few twists in Samba's contract situation, but there won't be any sale at that price.
thenodrog Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Talk about people in glass houses.... Rather a stupid thing to suggest S15. I have never put anybody on ignore.
walk down bolton road Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Nicko please can you confirm the rumors of Formica. Are the 2 deals for the Barcelona lads any closer ?. Many thanks nicko.
steo Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Nicko you hear anything bout Formica,it's all over twitter at the mo,even Jase Roberts has commented on it.
S15 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Rather a stupid thing to suggest S15. I have never put anybody on ignore. No, but as far as posting unneeded comments and feet stomping goes you've done your fair share.
Torgeir Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Samba. Arsenal? £6 million? When Aston Villa were quoted £10 million a few days ago. There will be a few twists in Samba's contract situation, but there won't be any sale at that price. Another minimum fee release clause?
nicko Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Nicko please can you confirm the rumors of Formica. Are the 2 deals for the Barcelona lads any closer ?. Many thanks nicko. There is a lot of noise coming out of Argentina about this...some of it fits, some of it doesn't. If the player is genuinely flying over, then it must be on. Venky's have a South American guy who was involved in Ronaldinho and this may be his work. So it's a 'wait and see' job because the player has been going here, there and everywhere in the past. I only know of the one Barca lad - Rochina. People keep forgetting he was the ne Mrs D mentioned. She never said anything about Vazquez who does not fit the 'profile' quite the same.
thenodrog Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Putting cigarettes out in people's eyes is not 'young lads fighting'. A lot of this is give a dog a bad name. Arteta's a nasty piece of work in general but last season he nearly poked Pederson's eye out yet hardly anything was made of that. Thing is Arteta is a planner whilst with Barton it appears more of an inbred instantaineous reaction to situations. Growing up in inner city Livvie won't have helped.
nicko Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Another minimum fee release clause? There is no fixed fee clause in Samba's contract. He wants more money. That has been the story all the way through. Others made him the captain of the Muntiny on the Bounty. It has always been more about bounty than mutiny.
thenodrog Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 No, but as far as posting unneeded comments and feet stomping goes you've done your fair share. That is precisely what you have just done. People who live in glass houses indeed!
Hughesy Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 What money does he want though? Any news on the Larsson bid, we got the go ahead yet?
S15 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 That is precisely what you have just done. Practice what you preach. I do it all the time, enjoy it too. I don't criticise others for doing the same as me.
budha Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Blackburn and Aston Villa have both lodged bids for Sebastian Larsson, skysports.com understands.

davulsukur Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_6673059,00.html Everyones favourite - Sky, have now jumped on the Larsson story, claiming us and villa have lodged bids, with West Ham and Sunderland also interested.
Teacup Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone know if Gamst still has his boy band? Looks as though Formica isn't afraid of a bit of singing:
Commondore Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Being a Swede how much do you rate Seb Larsson? Think I can answer this one, being a Swede myself. I do rate him, but I'd sooner call him "useful" than "great". He has a wicked right foot and works hard up and down the flank, but lacks the pace to be a really effective traditional winger. I'm actually surprised he hasn't moved into a central midfield or fullback position (he's been tried there in the national team, with promising results) yet, I think that would fit his qualities much better.
