Fraserkirky Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 What happened with that French/African striker we were supposed to have bid for? The one playing in the Bundesliga? M'Bokani,Mputu or Cisse?
deryck guyler's spoon Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 M'Bokani,Mputu or Cisse? Tbh, I cant remember but the name 'Papiss' springs to mind. Cant remember his club either but a spokesman said we had bid 15m euro, which seems highly unlikely.
Backroom Tom Posted May 27, 2011 Backroom Posted May 27, 2011 If we didn't sign Roque and got rid of Bambi on ice I wouldn't mind seeing Owen here, As natural a goalscorer as they come and fills Venkys need for a 'marque' signing. Another top goalscorer, plus Owen, and then benjani and roberts with Ruben coming through is decent enough. DGS I believe you are referring to Papiss Cisse, didnt his club say we have bid and then denied it the same day? He had his own thread on here.

I'll get googling, cheers! Blimey, Wiki reckons 24 goals in 34 Bundesliga apps this season!

Thats the Cisse bloke from freiburg scored a bunch from them in the bundesliga this year. 24 goals in 34 appearances. Sounds decent.

Aged 25 too, so we could get some good service and possible sell on. 15 mill is too much for us though. Maybe his club need cash and went on a fishing trip having heard we had new owners.

Maybe his club need cash and went on a fishing trip having heard we had new owners. It certainly is a lot of money, havent seen the guy play so cant comment. I have seen Demba Ba and at half price providing he owns 2 knees, seems to be a better choice. I wonder if 15m is too much, I have a feeling Venkys are gonna make a splash this summer. Where is Nicko?
Stuart Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Who needs Robinho when we've got Benjani I'm not sure Venkys' marketing strategy covers Zimbabwe...
Kamy100 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I am led to believe that Lille striker Gervinho is high on the list of Rovers targets. Problem is that possibly bigger clubs will be after him.
alexanders Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I am led to believe that Lille striker Gervinho is high on the list of Rovers targets. Problem is that possibly bigger clubs will be after him. A classy player! IF this is the sort of players we are looking at the summer might become entertaining.
PAFELL Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I am led to believe that Lille striker Gervinho is high on the list of Rovers targets. Problem is that possibly bigger clubs will be after him. I cannot see it happening to be honest. Last I heard he has already made his mind up as to where he wants to go and intends revealing that on return from his holiday. He wants to play in the champions league - but with who.
chaddyrovers Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Kean wants to sign Seb Larrson http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3603224/Steve-Kean-lines-up-another-swoop-for-Seb-Larsson.html would be a good signing for us and would add to the depth of the squad Arsenal to bid 10 million pounds for Samba http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/193011/Arsene-Wenger-bids-for-Chris-Samba/ Not enough. I would want 15 mil at least. Plus we need to have a replacement line up before we sell if we do

I agree, if one of the bigger clubs are in for him (Arsenal strongly linked) then we have no chance, but if they are not and Venky's want to pay this guy big wages then we have a chance, especially if the likes of Newcastle and Sunderland are our competition.

It also says Lansbury may be sold by Arsenal, worth a bid?
Kamy100 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 If Samba insists on leaving, we should look at Bassong, Dann or Roger Johnson to replace him. Dann would be a very good replacement if Samba was to leave.
47er Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Kean wants to sign Seb Larrson http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3603224/Steve-Kean-lines-up-another-swoop-for-Seb-Larsson.html would be a good signing for us and would add to the depth of the squad /quote] I've got doubts about him. Doesn't look any better than we've got imo. Anyway adding more depth to the squad means more of the same. We don't need numbers , we need 3 or 4 players better than we have now in their respective positions so as to give the whole squad a lift. If he were not a Kentaro client, would we be bothering?
Martin Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Should Samba leave the replacement should be Roger Johnson from Brum. Class defender.
MeanGreenMachine Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Scott Dann is better of the 2. Johnson looked lost without him, hence the nosedive in form which seen them go down once he got injured.
RibbleValleyRover Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Liverpool have been linked to Dann: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Liverpool-Sunderland-ready-to-raid-relegated-Birmingham-for-defenders-Scott-Dann-Roger-Johnson-article741010.html He's from Liverpool and the opportunity to play for the club he supports would be hard to turn down. I wonder if Liverpool go for Dann they might drop their interest in Jones? I would imagine if they are willing to pay £10m for Dann they would have to pay a lot more for Jones who is younger and for me has far more potential.
Backroom Tom Posted May 27, 2011 Backroom Posted May 27, 2011 As annoying as it can be I'm happy to be in silly season looking foward to another premier league season.
The Rover of Finland Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I am led to believe that Lille striker Gervinho is high on the list of Rovers targets. Problem is that possibly bigger clubs will be after him. He sounds like bigger club catch but definitely worth for try.
Iceman Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Seb Larsson would be okay for me, he is a good set piece taker Larsson J Jones Nzonzi Olsson Hoilett New Striker
alexanders Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Srdjan Lakic According to his wiki he signed for Wolfsburg in January keeping him there to 2015. From Croatia, aged 27. 31 goals in 70 apps for Kaiserslautern.
