Summer 2011 Transfer Window Part Two

[Ripleys love child]

Nothing new on that front it appears.

Maybe he's waitin to see our ambition in the Market and by the look of the people article I don't see why he shouldn't sign, we've gave him his chance time to show a bit of loyalty which I think he will

[Billy Castell]

Can't wait to see who we sign now. It's been so long since we've felt hope and optimism during a transfer period it is hard to not get carried away at times. I don't miss that sense of dread thinking, 'Oh great, who is going now?' Hopefully, these signings will come off, and the loss of Samba and Jones won't feel so bad.

On a completely unrelated and off topic note, I've just found out The People's Deputy Features Editor was in the year below me at school.

[Veevs]

I doubt we will push player contracts.. (i.e. jnr) or know the outcome of full budget until Miranda or know if Samba is staying until he sees the signings.

Old git, lol

Should be the priority before any anything else, last thing we want is to lose junior and fork out to replace him, give him a decent contract, put it to bed and move on upwards

I think he'll commit, perhaps a lot is being made of the fact that it hasn't happened yet but behind the scenes i think it's getting sorted in it's own good time. I'm "chilled".

[Ripleys love child]

Venkys 10/10 for entertainment with all the jones saga and all these great names linked, exciting times to be a rovers fan . I havnt been this optimistic since sir jacks days

[Billy Castell]

Why am I an old git Ripley's Love Child?? I'm not offended, just a bit curious.

As long as it's more than just names linked, attracting and signing these players is a different matter, hopefully get 1 big name signed and sealed and others may follow, then it will be exciting times!

But still great thou isn't it but yes would be great if we could get sum in soon very soon , fingers crossed

[Billy Castell]

No news on the mystery scouser then. Newell in as DoF perhaps???

A bit of an old mans game the press game, no malice ittended Billy

Newell now thats a blast from the past, fantastic shout, I thought it might of been rick parry or stevie mcmanamman who as got great credibility in the football world. Didn't man city hire him a few seasons a go ad a sort of d o f

I know there was no malice. I'm not that old, only 30. So she'll be about 29.

As for Newell, it just occured to me that he's a scouser, ex-Rovers player and an ex-manager. So I could see him as a DoF even if it would be a crazy appointment. I'm not sure about McMananamamanamaan, for some reason I can't see him being any good in a board room. Perhaps it is prejudice about footballers and their intelligence.

[Ripleys love child]

But wasn't stevie mac appointed for man city when that Thailand Giza was owner of man city and funnily enough j Anderson was a major part in seein all of svens transfers go thro. That's where I sought of ad the link from

[Billy Castell]

I can't remember. It sounds like it might have happened. Not sure what Steve McM's role was in that set-up, or his current role for Birmingham. Let's hope Venky's are less shifty than Thakasin anyway.

I figured Nicko was talking about Lowe but he signed a few days ago and is hardly a suprise in terms of age for a head of youth coaching.

Most scousers I can think of either scare me like McManaman and Fowler or really scare me like Anne Roninson and Ken Dodd

Saying that Alan Parry might be a shout... not a Rovers fan by any stretch of the imagination, bit old but he has been involved with Wycombe Wanders including being a director there.

[Billy Castell]

Doesn't Alan Parry do commentary on Radio 5? Or is that some other Parry/Perry?

[Ripleys love child]

Sorry I can only remember nicko saying he was a scouser did he mention he was young scouser? Can't remember

Mike parry m8 he used to work for talksport until he opposed the hiring of keys and gray. He was a big evetonian

Differant Parry same sort of thing though, famous for his football and Formula 1 commentry on the BBC.. you will recognise the voice lol

And Ripleys no just said you would be suprised at the age, hense Alan Parry as he is well in his mid/late 60s I think.

And a little bit of googling..

This chap..

[Ripleys love child]

To many parrys for my liking, lol

[Billy Castell]

Mike Parry that's it. I like his commentaryactually, and would rather have him than Alan Green.

Anyway, this going off topic, so I'll just reiterate what Nicko said. He said there may be a surprising appointment soon, and he is from Liverpool. His age is also surprising, so he'll either be very young, or very old. And I don't think it was David Lowe.

[he6rt6gr6m]

Nicko specifically said it wasn't Lowe.

Missed that.. way to much idle waffle.. even started doing it myself lol

Is anyone watching the Gold Cup? Giovanni dos Santos and Pablo Barrera have been incredible. Dos Santos just scored a sublime chip at 2v4.

I'd be saying "sign these two up" if I didn't know how crap they actually are in club football.

[Kamy100]

You are totally right Barrera and Dos Sontos stars of the show, yet they can't do it in Premier League. Clubs have to be very careful when signing these kinda players.

i dunno. i don't think gio's been given enough of a chance in the pl. He's one of those that really has to gel with his teammates. I think if him and barrera (or another mexican friend) both signed for somebody, it would really help them.

And yes that goal was absolutely incredible. One of those that has to be perfect to work. And it was.
