[Archived] Venky's Summer Transfer List

[Eddie]

I have been told that one of the players Rovers are looking at should we stay up is is Lille striker Gervinho. I have talked to one of his representatives this morning and he confirmed that Rovers are one of a few Premier League clubs who want him, the player is going to wait until the summer before making any decisions.

Talented player. Suited to the league. Would be expensive. Can't see why Lille would want to sell him, especially if they win the league.

I wonder if Kean is discussing the R word yet

I think Kean should put his league table wall chart the right way round.

[roversfan99]

If we do stay up(which looks doubtful), I wouldn't be surprised if we renewed our supposed interest in Osvaldo from Espanyol.

I've caught glimpses of tonight's match(scored 2) and other Espanyol games, he knows where the net is and is good in the air.

[imy9]

Looks a good player, all about the money though.

[London_Rover]

Anelka

[ABBEY]

If anyone at the club is even thinking about transfers then it is just another reason to be even more concerned.

spot on... but barry white has R-oooney and R-onaldo.

Osvaldo Staying Put

I flaming well hope not!.. Super-Sulk would do us no good what-so-ever

Would be perfect for us

Osvaldo Staying Put

Journalists + Our club = pathetic at the moment.

They have a set template:

Ambitious Blackburn Rovers have set their sights on (Insert name of ageing great here)

Where is Nicko?

[roverwhelmed]

Where is Nicko?

I noticed he was reading the granada thread yesterday.

[Tris]

Where is Nicko?

Compromised.

When agents don't squawk ... Nicko can't talk.

[Steve Moss]

I'm not sure I like this, if true.

Fielding to Derby is 500,000 deal.

[AggyBlue]

Fielding to Derby is 500,000 deal.

It's been a done deal for some time with a proviso that Derby don't go down. Are they safe now?

He wants to play first team football. I got told 400K though.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

He's never going to make it into the Rovers first team with Robbo, Bunn and Brown in front of him.

If we go down however......

[RibbleValleyRover]

Jake Kean is a better prospect from what I've heard, so I am not surprised Fielding might be going.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

He got rave reviews earlier this season whilst out on loan. I don't know much about him to be honest but if what they're saying is true, we've got another good prospect in our books.

[47er]

Its a strange thing but throughout the decades I've been following Rovers we've always had terrific keepers and great centre-halves (apart from Coddington!)

We've been short everywhere else mind!

[Oklahoma]

I was hoping we could keep Fielding and loan him to get a full season playing.

Robinson is the starting gk but Bunn and Brown can leave... Fielding and Jake Kean should be our future gks.

man utd and liverpool wanted Phil Jones

Jack Hunt stays at Huddersfield instead of moving to Bolton or Blackburn

Phil Jones is going to attract bids of 20m + this summer, easy. Some of the top clubs in Europe will want him. Even if we stay up it will be a massive achievement to hold on.

I can be accused of the old blue and white specs, but he looks much better than Terry etc did at his age (which is nineteen- jesus!). He is still to have a bad game, and had several excellent ones. Only really Ferdinand could you stick in the same bracket of performing at CB so well from someone so young. Pace, power, outstanding in the air, decent technically, reads the game well (maybe some room for improvement here), can pass well. Shoo-in for next England squad if Capello's got any gumption.

On top of that he has been very good in midfield which is something neither Ferdinand nor Terry ever got to grips with in their illustrious careers.

[Bobby G]

No way 20 million +.

I can see the 10-15 million range. But I wouldnt accept anything for him at will. Team should be built around him and he should be made captain in summer regardless of our status in PL.

But if he angles for a move, then Id be looking for 15 million Pounds at least.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

With a heavy heart,If either Liverpool or Utd come a calling with that sort of money then he'll be off asap and, sadly, who can blame him?.Make the most of this talented lad these last few games.

Contracts mean nothing and can be paid off.
