rogerjonesgloves Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I think he has the maneuvering prowess and awareness of a King Tiger tank. Bit like Goulon, but can pass and shoot. Won't be him.

my_name_is_Earl Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks for the responses guys and girls, I just wondered if I had missed a trick. To be honest, I think Kean deserves a summer after keeping us up last year. If all isn't well after ten games, then we move on but on the strength of character he has shown thus far, he deserves a chance next year. Although results weren't great, to take fifteenth in such a baptism of fire with such a hostile crowd in your first managerial role isn't actually that bad. In fairness, it's probably around the places where we have come to find ourselves, with such a tight strain on finances over the last five years or so, in particular. I also don't buy all this, 'i'm not playing for Kean rubbish' that some people believe is happening right now. Most clubs haven't actually conducted any business so far, so I don't understand why some people are panicking. I agree some names do help to attract better players, obviously, but that isn't the case at Ewood right now, regardless of what David Anderson in the Mirror suggests.
Commondore Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 MIDFIELD...very interesting name popped up from one of the elite spies around here...yet to confirm...hope it's right...good, good player who hardly ever gets a mention but would be ideal. My guess would be Diamé from Wigan, even if I'm desperately hoping that we'll keep out of the complete mayhem that is transfers between PL teams.
Mercer Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 do we have scouts at the u17 world cup? Not sure we need scouts now given the apparent way we do business. It is rumoured that there is some frustration in that part of the club's operation.
modes98 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hopefully 11=12 will line up as such: Make that many changes and you are asking for trouble. Team would take a long time to gel and then you have to try and iron out issues mid season.
leerovers1980 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 personally I think venkys are going to try and go down the Portugal way of bringing in players and dipping into the Brazil market, how many unknown Brazilians have started there trade in the Portuguese league and went onto bigger things, I think Porto are a great example of this, no English team have ever done this to the extreme of teams like Porto, I think its a great idea and only be good for the future of Blackburn rovers
Lars-Erik Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 The midfielder nicko mentioned in his last post: Angelo Palombo of Sampdoria? Recently relegated and an experienced playmaker with tackling skills and a very good engine..
Antgrad Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 You'd think if Samba was about to make a move he'd be in London rather than coaching in Florida with Robbo. http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/soccer/superstar-soccer-academy-week1/ http://yfrog.com/kfxncnj

Veevs Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Has to be Tom Huddlestone Huddleston is mainly in the first team squad at least.. more likely to be one of the other lads.. O'Hara, Pienaar, Palacious, Bentley and kranjcar

I know Arsenal managed to get work permit for Denilson, and that there is an opening for 'extraordinary talents', but I think we'll struggle to bring in too many players without farming them out first. I hope Unleaded will have some info during the summer about targets from the U17 and U20 World Cups, will be some gems involved there. I have always enjoyed his posts. Mercerman, regarding our scouts having no say in transfer matters anymore: I saw that mentioned earlier as well, but where does that information come from? If we aren't doing business that way anymore and purely relying on Kentaro relations we might as well get rid. Not saying we shouldn't use our scouts, but if we aren't...
Backroom Tom Posted June 20, 2011 Backroom Posted June 20, 2011 Not sure we need scouts now given the apparent way we do business. It is rumoured that there is some frustration in that part of the club's operation. Now there's a surprise one of the doom merchants saying 'it is rumoured' followed by more guff.
Hekla Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 O'Hara still has not signed for Wolves, the midfield player could be him possibly. Wolves did not meet his wage demands from what I have heard.

Brazilians speak portugese (slightly dif but still portugese) The rules on work permits are way diff 90% of those guys would not of been allowed to even get of a plane in England.
Jamesw1982 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Hopefully 11=12 will line up as such: Robinson Corchina (le mans) Miranda Givet (if Samba goes) Olsson Bentley Kayal Jones Gamst Hoilett/Macheda Llorente Corchina - 4million Kayal - 6 million Jones - 4 million Bentley - 6 million Macheda - loan/4 million Miranda - FREE Llorente - 10 million Total 34 million I'd say it was a great young team ... Robbo as the oldest player! Full of potenctial and a new target man in LLorente! id like to see Robbo Aurier , Mills , Miranda , Warnock Hoillet , Nzonzi , Krancjar , Olsson Formica Pavlyuchenko

B.R.F.C Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 VUCINIC...should be much clearer in the next few days...Roma'a main man coming to England for some transfer business...he is dropping hints about seeing Rovers during this trip...this is being treated with some surprise at this end...it sounds to me like he is trying to create an auction because Roma want the player sold...they have a new coach and a new regime...but they are trying to raise cash through sales...this one has to be watched very closely. As much as I would LOVE to sign Vucinic I am 99% certain that he and his agent are using us in order to get a bigger wage at Juventus who is realistically who he wants to sign for. This may well be a case of stating the obvious but I just cannot see him joining us...he is far too good. Is that your take on it Nicko or what do you reckon? I am going to spend the next couple of minutes daydreaming as to what damage we could do next year with Hoillet playing the free role just behind Vucinic

bob fleming Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I met our new head of youth development today - Paul he was called. First day in the job today - most of you know nothing about BRFC. So has Phil Cannon left VA?
ewoodnews Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Michael Essien? Are you being serious. I think a comment like that should lead to a three day ban. ha
JW11 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Are you being serious. I think a comment like that should lead to a three day ban. ha ha ha ha. maybe a little extreme. But I agree that the notion of Essien coming to Rovers is a little farfetched to say the least
