What a time to run that article, one of the two teams out of Blackbrn and wigan will surely be going down.

WQell if we want him having Rochina here and his progress has to work in our favour.

Sounds like he knows how to stick the ball in the ol' onion Bag, even if its with Barca reserves. For 3m is probably well worth a pop.

If Samba gets his big money move to Arsenal which I'm predicting, Bassong should be top of the list of replacement for Samba.

I'm also predicting we have a really good team next season providing we stay up Sunday.

A 'healthy budget' for next season according to Kean in his press conference

[jonv]

How can Keane possibly get another season. How can we even be talking about next season until after Sunday

[braddock]

I'd go for Bassong and O'Hara and a few million for Samba (if it was possible).

I can't see Kranjcar coming to us. I'd love him to, but I feel he'll move to a team bigger than us if he does leave. Maybe in Europe, playing in a European competition too.

How can you not know his name yet?

If we went down I'm sure it would be a healthy budget in comparison to some Championship teams.

O'Hara would be a great buy as well. Good Shout

Samba wants to leave….he has made that clear over the last 12-18 months now. We have done well to keep him this long, and I think most fans think its time to let him get his trophys and move on (we all know he wont & the rovers curse will kick in).

No point keeping an unhappy player at the club, especially if it gives you the opportunity to maybe get big money or a better squad from the sale.

Why are you missing the point? Let him move on if he must but at our valuation. Not Spurs or Arsenal's or any southern press tosser.He's on a long contract and they'll have to pay. Remember "Rovers are no longer a selling club" S Kean.

"the owners have told me I don't need to sell anyone" S Kean.

Think you are missing the point....im saying if its big money/ better for the squad (i.e. us), not to let him go for a fiver!

No doubt we dont need to sell, but EVERYONE has a price!

[AJW]

the chances of keeping Samba would increase if were to bring in 2-3 top PL quality players....problem is . to do that we'll need £15-20m so if venky's don't put that in Then Samba or Phil Jones will have to be sacrificed

Top quality PL players cost that amount each.

We won't be getting top quality.

Samba doesn't have the time to hang around, he'll move on. He can do too, if his hearts not in it we'll take the money (if the right offer comes) and run.

[Iceman]

if Samba leaves, then Gabi Millito will be available as well.

[bennyboyt11]

Bassong isn't a replacement for Samba, nowhere near as good

Lets hope nobody is fooled by this and that come the summer Rovers replace Kean.

Just hope nobody buys a season ticket until they have seen positive actions being taken at Ewood rather than just spoken.(beware championship manager brigade)

[RoyRover]

That sounds reasonably feasible. Spurs have so many good players that they just don't use and frankly need to offload. I would take any of:-

Bassong, Naughton, Rose, Bentley, Krancjar, O'Hara. I don't think Pavylechenko or Defoe will be interested even if Spurs wanted to let them go.

A second advantage is Spurs are (supposedly) frugal with wages so bringing in these players should be affordable.

There are few players that Spurs have that I would take in flash. Krancjar, O'Hara and Defoe would be my preference.

As for Samba, we should be looking for £15 million for him. That's a fair price for me.

Who is the better CB....Samba or Rio Ferdinand? And how much did he cost Utd when he joined them? I seem to remember a figure of around £30m being broadcast at the time.

Completely different story. He's English, and was already the worlds most expensive defender from his move to Leeds. Players aren't just valued from their actual capacity.

I'm a huge Samba fan but Rio at his best was arguably better. Much better on the ball and not quite as prone to rash challenges.

Il buy one as soon as they go on sale...its about supporting the club I love, not what we do in the market.

Correct. Samba is a great player for us but you cant compare the situations. Rio was one of the top five defenders in the world, he was younger and he is english.

All true. We wouldn't get anywhere near 30M for Samba but 10-12M is, as the article described it, "a bargain". And I don't see why we should hand out bargains to clubs that are richer than we are. 15M+.

Agreed. If we stay up we have no pressure to sell, he just signed a new contract after all. Providing the new owers are true to theired word about the cash available then we should hold out for 15 million for sure. It will be nice to have no pressure to sell and really play hard ball!

[Hughesy]

Stay up & the budget is 'miles bigger' than anything Blackburn have had before....

[Tom]

If Jones stays at Schalke and Samba goes to Spurs I'd look at a deal for both Krancjar and Palacios maybe.

The fact is Spurs have plenty of options to look at Krancjar / Palacios / O Hara / Bentley etc but I think it will be around £12m cash which in reality is a decent deal for everyone IMO.

If this is correct, but we somehow get relegated... the 'what ifs' will drive me insane!
