[Archived] Transfer Window Part 4

[Bobby G]

Waiting on that elusive fax (Morning from Argentine media).

.. if that's the case, Mrs. Desai wasn't kidding about leasing players, wasn't she.

Is it unlimited international loans??

If so it makes sense as long as the perm fee is already agreed - lowers risk of foreign failure signings.

That's what I've understood too. And obviously the time constraints of the January window tend to force some deals to be completed as loans, but hopefully loaning a new starting eleven every transfer window isn't the long term plan

[alexanders]

I think it might be a good strategy if we are able to loan the Johnny Foreigners for 6 months to see if they are worth it with an already agreed fee. Sounds clever to me.

Blackburn are believed to be closing in on the signing of Newell's Old Boys ace Mauro Formica, skysports.com understands.

Nothing new in the story, but..

Funnily enough, there is a key mention of agent Barry McIntosh who leaks to Sky all of the time...

That might explain the number of clubs linked to him lately.

Intriguing one.

What about him? Is it a wish of yours or a rumour/story youve heard?

[deftangel]

It seems to be a habit of clubs in certain leagues that they make noise about stuff that hasn't happened and on occasion won't happen. How many times was Ronaldiniho a done deal to club X?

The respective media in those countries tend to just gloss over it like they never said anything!

So I'd take it all with a pinch of salt right now.

Just a thought after looking at the bosmans

I could see Larsson becoming a long-term right back option at the club. He started off as one at Arsenal.

[neophox]

Nicko: Is the Formica deal to Blackburn agreed in principle? I've heard that he had travelled to England yesterday after the move to Genoa fell through?

[Torgeir]

I could see Larsson becoming a long-term right back option at the club. He started off as one at Arsenal.

I think he could do a job there too, but he would still lack a little pace there and isn't the strongest or most physical either. Hard worker, good stamina, and a very good right foot - wouldn't get to as many crossing oppurtunities from the back though. Main question is still whether or not he is willing to play there over a longer period of time. He might want to play in midfield only.

A short Earth to Rovers supporters post.

The £5m budget is for wages and fees so it is about 70% spent already.

...unless Kean has returned with Mrs D's purse.

You would like to think that a trip to India would release some funds.

I thought he started out as a def midfielder then went to Birmingham which made him right sided.

Earth to Philip... You have no idea what the budget is.

I'd value Samba realistically at £10m-£12m but the fact that he said he wanted to leave for bigger club few weeks ago devalues him #rovers

Mirror pricing Samba at £6m ... sounds a bit low to me #rovers

Mirror's @johncrossmirror - very well connected at #Arsenal - says Arsene Wenger has made Chris Samba his top transfer target #rovers

Samba is desperately important to us.

Sorry sunshine, yes I do.

This is one mental guy:

The 2 best pictures I've seen of Barton are:

The one where The Axe has him held up off the ground by the throat whilst barton fills his pants at the prospect of being filled in by someone who can look after himself

The 2nd one was one of him going into prison

A person I would just not want associated with our club.

[S15]

Sorry sunshine, yes I do.

You've proved for years that you have no reliable inside track at Rovers.

Get over it.

Devalues him - Why?? If a big club like Arsenal want him, Rovers should place a figure on his head (say 10-15M) and then its up to them to pay it. If not, then he stays where he is...

I'm sure Cahill would like to go to Arsenal too, but he's not going unless Arsenal pay what Bolton want. Rovers should do exactly the same thing IMO...

[S15]

Indeed. Luckily, your track record speaks for itself.

[philipl]

Worth remembering that £5m for the January window is the only number the new owners have ever given.

Don't read it if you don't like what he posts, lets not turn another thread into childish insults.
