[Archived] Transfer Window Part 6

[nicko]

Nicko - is your mate about to get Sturridge on loan?? What sort of deal is that, as hes big wages isnt he?

Quickest and smoothest swoop of month. Loan. Full wages paid.

When a job needs doing...

Whats he on down there, £70k a week?

I'd imagine this clause is highly unlikely. If it does exist, it's bad business from Rovers. Barca have no hold over Rochina in 5/6 months time, so it'd be stupid for us to compromise with them. They'd already be getting a fee for him when we could get him for free in a few months.

Rochina is still considered as a youngster, so Barca would be entitled to dispensation even if we would sign him after his contract had expired.

[Bobby G]

Barcelona and RM always insert buy back clauses in all sale of youngsters. They have 1-2 years to activate it. RM actually bought Negredo back at the low fee in the clause and sold him a few hours later at a higher fee to Sevilla.

"Steve Kean confirms just minor details holding up Blackburn capture of Mauro Formica. Cost, just over £3mill - no wonder clubs look abroad!"

[Blue n White Rover]

SSN crack me up...Faye from Stoke up at Celtic for medical...he's at his house down here...still hoping for a call.

Chris McLaughlin on Twitter: "Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has confirmed that Senegalese defender Abdoulaye Faye is in Glasgow for talks over a move to Celtic. Coates has said that Stoke have defensive cover and is happy to see the move go through."

[alexanders]

SSN wrote this in the Rochina thing:

"The Newell's Old Boys star is being chased by Monaco and Blackburn, and both are hopeful of sealing his signature on Monday."

Is Monaco still in for Formica or is this just bull ?

LOL. ROCHINA? NOB?

Its bull.

[aXept]

LOL. ROCHINA? NOB?

Its bull.

Well, it was in the same post as the Rochina story... Not that it was Rochina who played for NOB... anyway, probably bull.

He isn't. He is in his house. Fact.

[Lathund]

LOL. ROCHINA? NOB?

Its bull.

"Rovers, who have also been linked to Rochina's team-mate Victor Vazques, are continuing talks with Argentine forward Mauro Formica.

The Newell's Old Boys star is being chased by Monaco and Blackburn, and both are hopeful of sealing his signature on Monday."

Massively overated player Sturridge !

[True Blue & White]

If you have time to read it- how to get ripped off and avoid getting ripped off in the transfer market

[Roverdale]

No.. He's at Merseyside

[nicko]

Is Monaco still in for Formica or is this just bull ?

Monaco gave Formica a medical and agreed terms with him last week. He even trained with them.

If anybody cocks it up at the Rovers end he could go back there and join.

Don't dismiss that as a possibility the more the clock ticks by.

There is more to this deal than meets the eye. Clearly.

[ada2020]

We couldnt (Please don't use that word again) up the Formica deal at this stage could we?????

I spoke to someone who was with him - in his house - 20 minutes ago.

I am saving the binoculars for Torres's helicopter.

[Blue n White Rover]

Houlier just come and said Young will not be sold. Does that have a knock on effect on the Torres deal?

Question for everyone: Who would you say has had the best window this January?

A Northerner wearing a flat cap and holding a whippet, how witty and original...

[BangkokRover]

[Tooogs]

Birmingham will be ok with bentley and martins

Darren Bent has to be one of the best buys.. ridiculously high price IMO but he could keep them in the league singlehandedly and even push them a lot further up the table. Stunning player, especially for teams of that ilk.
