nicko Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Who has Carlos Vela signed for? West Brom. How's your new manager? And his first signing Charlie Austin? Dick? Or is it Tony?

RibbleValleyRover Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Pretty decent window for Rovers. If i was scoring it out of 10 I would probably give it a 7/10, keeping in mind excluding Jones these players have potential but are currently unproven. The side has been crying out for a battling midfielder since Savage's departure and they have brought Jones in to try and do a similar job. We also have needed a playmaker and hopefully Formica can do that. Rochina is young and clearly has some potential and with a bit of hard work we could hopefully turn him into a real asset for us. Another major plus point was we didn't have to sell any players to fund this, I have no doubts in my mind if we were still under the ownership of the trust we would have had to sell to bring anyone in. Some question marks over some of the new contracts offered to existing players, but that doesn't really detract from what has been a solid window from a Rovers perspective.
John Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Solid transfer window overall - interested to see how the youngsters get on.
BPF Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I give up, click here. Geez, Is this better? Here
Emge Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Blackpool may regret not selling Adam for 7m+..... he's a good player but he won't sign a new contract and won't get as much for him in the summer! Well, I think youre missing the point here. Holloway means that Adam is key for them staying up, and I agree with him. By keeping Adam, they might do that, and they will get their finance sorted out anyway. The most important for Ollie and the club is to stay up, not necessarily keeping Adam, but they must in order to achieve that. So he will get sold in the summer, maybe for 4-5 million quid maximum. Good move by Blackpool. It would deilight me if they are here next season Maybe Liverpool will loose interest and we can enter the frame
American Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Blackpool may regret not selling Adam for 7m+..... he's a good player but he won't sign a new contract and won't get as much for him in the summer! The only way they regret it is if they get relegated.
Baz Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Looks like a good transfer window for us - 2 young exciting kids and 2 quality 1st teamers! We did well, looking at some of the money being spent today. Favorite quote of the day has to be Robbie Savage claiming he must be worth at least £7m.
deazel Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I love Venkys! It is fantastic to have owners that are actually prepared to invest in the club again. Most enjoyable transfer window in years and I am filled with hope for the future!
Backroom Tom Posted January 31, 2011 Backroom Posted January 31, 2011 Sky Sports are awful, camped outside Spurs ground constantly and just reported we have signed 25 year old Formica (isn't he 22) and midfielder Ruben Rochina (isn't he a striker)
mark Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 This might sound daft, but how good are the two new lads? fair Q. does anybody know anything about them? i note that formica hasn't played for argentina since U-17... Does anyone know just how highly rated is he over there? not being negative like, cos it is proper exciting
vinnicombe Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 West Brom. How's your new manager? And his first signing Charlie Austin? Dick? Or is it Tony? Charlie Austin of Ipswich you mean? :-)

Backroom DE. Posted January 31, 2011 Backroom Posted January 31, 2011 thegreatmorass on Twitter: "Lots of Portsmouth fans upset at the lack of transfer activity. We need at least one decent signing before 11pm!" ffs, they're lucky to still have a team to support at all, let alone one making any moves in the transfer market.

S15 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 appaulingly poor behaviour from bpool re adam. shambles of a club Go on, justify your comment. Properly.
mattyc2422 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 A pic of Formica with a rovers scarf on the offical website http://www.rovers.co.uk/page/Home/0,,10303,00.html These pictures are one of my favourite things about thansfer windows. The one of Paul Dickov is carved into my memory for some reason!
sijoco Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Quality tweet from Jack Witshire : BREAKING TRANSFER NEWS: I have just moved from the sofa to my bed!! - even the pro's can see the madness of the January window
slough_rover Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 appaulingly poor behaviour from bpool re adam. shambles of a club Really? He's under contract to them so they can refuse any bid that they wish. Why shouldnt they force Liverpool to pay their asking rate. If Liverpool are willing to pay £35 mill for Carroll then why shouldnt they also milk them for every penny.
BPF Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 These pictures are one of my favourite things about thansfer windows. The one of Paul Dickov is carved into my memory for some reason! Jeff Kenna for me. No idea why.
herbergeehh Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I am fully behind Blackpool and Oyston.. don't know whether this has roots in the contract breach thing, if it has I can see why Charlie adam is upset.. but in fairness, he is their player, and they will not necessarily stay up without him. That's a major loss, and in any case I think Charlie will be in demand in the summer too. THEN they can sell him. Delighted with Formica and Rochina, plus getting my man El Hadji off the wage bill the next months. Larsson would be a bonus, but that ship seems to have sailed by now.... Great window, well done Kean and Venkys.
imy9 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 RE Adams, he is a Blackpool player. They signed him when no one else did, gave him a chance and premier league football to showcase his talents. They want to be compensated what they believe to be a "fair price", what have they done wrong? I suppose if Arsenal offer us £5 million for Samba we should gladly accept?
nicko Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Charlie Austin of Ipswich you mean? :-) Austin was at Ipswich, spoke to Paul Jewell while you looked behind the sofa for some extra change. Keep up, son. I know it's complicated. But you really have no excuse.
Backroom Tom Posted January 31, 2011 Backroom Posted January 31, 2011 Jeff Kenna for me. No idea why. Nathan Blake for me, I was in Spain
