Rover95 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Fact - We have sold Phil Jones for a decent amount of money all things considered. As far as I know - please tell me if there has been any more transfers that I am not aware of - that is the only piece of business we have done as yet this tranfer window. JJ was on loan to us. Samba is still our player and is under a lengthy contract. Everything else is pure speculation. Obviously, some people like to put a negative slant on things....it's a shame but that's life.

mike at picture Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 This mindless abuse is getting tiresome. A Rovers fan whom I have met and respect spoke with a member of his family. What is your evidence in support of your viewpoint? Why would anybody believe you?
philipl Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Was there any evidence that Phil Jones was sold against his will in January, or tried to anyway? Not saying there isn't, but I haven't heard of it so if you have any links to that or a story please feel free to share. I appreciate you are a new member- it is posted on the Phil Jones thread.
mike at picture Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I appreciate you are a new member- it is posted on the Phil Jones thread. Certainly far more people than you think... The only source of reliable information on here is Alan Nixon. He mocks and belittles you.
Ricky Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Empty your post box Ricky, tried to send you a PM, but Done
Balwer Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 The only source of reliable information on here is Alan Nixon. He mocks and belittles you. There's also Kamy, unleaded and Roberto Policano actually.
davulsukur Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 There's also Kamy, unleaded and Roberto Policano actually. Vintageadidas aswell
mike at picture Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 There's also Kamy, unleaded and Roberto Policano actually. Apologies, you are quite correct.
Teacup Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Keep to topic guys, if there is a poster you think is trolling, please just ignore them.
Backroom Tom Posted June 23, 2011 Backroom Posted June 23, 2011 Come on chaps can we not keep it civil in here. JAL and others obviously care for the club but currently are in need of reassurance about the future of it thus sees the glass as half (or three quarters) empty, others see the positive in everything. I say we call a truce till the start of the season and reassess then. The petty squabbling doesn't make good reading for anyone.
Neal Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I'd like to go to Arsenal but too! I bet Keith Andrews would also! BUT they're not making a bid for him either. See my point?
mike at picture Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Vintageadidas aswell But not Phillip. Utd are going bust you know.
booth Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 So how do Rovers dress the signing of a russian right back. Rovers lose both key centre halfs, yet recruit russian full back and captain who could well replace fans favourite Michel Salgado. That's a bit silly. Salgado shouldn't play a full season again and who else do we have to play at right back?
gumboots Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I appreciate you are a new member- it is posted on the Phil Jones thread. Well, I did hear from some who knew him that he was about to be sold to Chelsea, but there was no hint from them that he didn't want to go.
True Blue & White Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Quick question, since nicko hasn't/won't answer my question I'll throw it out there. Does anyone actually believe the 45-50 million figure is before we've sold Samba?

Billy Castell Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Maybe the Raos have learned to announce signings after they've signed after looking like tools when we tried to go for Ronaldinho. With all the transfer rumours, stories of board meetings etc. there is a sense that something will happen soon. Any outlandish rumours from those with sources about who the first signing is?
rovers_rob Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 shhhhhhhhhhhhhh its all gone very quiet yeah i was thinking that. Calm before the storm ? From what Mr N and other "insiders" said last night there might be news about a striker today. Hopefully good news.
Roversboy1972 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 WERE NICKO GONE MUST BE ON A TOP STORIE OR SOMTHING NOT LIKE HIM TO MISS A CHANCE TO REPORT ON ROVERS NEWS
Veevs Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Quick question, since nicko hasn't/won't answer my question I'll throw it out there. Does anyone actually believe the 45-50 million figure is before we've sold Samba? I would say it's before the Samba sale if it happens, mainly due to the shopping list only having the Jones replacement on it.
rebelmswar Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 But Reb you aint! All you're doing is putting a negative spin on the "Facts". Jones/samba would have/will gone/go irrespective of who the manager was/is. Those M'lud ARE the Facts! I never stated that they wouldn't. All I see right now is Jones has gone, Samba is pimping himself to anyone who will listen and we are promised to spend a shed load of cash. Not by the club by the way, but by Mr. Nixon who is a wonderful contributor on here, but in no way infallible. Taking into account our manager likes to spout nonsense about the Champions League every chance he gets (probably mutters it in his sleep) it makes one wonder why, if this was at all feasible, would Samba want to sod off to wear a red or blue shirt? Why must we pound our chests like enraged silver back gorillas and throw feces around? Spin does go both ways you know, 360 degrees covers all the angles and all sides. It seems that if we blindly follow the masses and grab players names out of thin air and belittle any player that doesn't rank as acceptable to the new team of giants that we are creating, then it seems nowadays that that person is a bigot, idiot, or just retarded. I am none of those things and take exception that I am being thrown into the crowd of fanatics that can not find anything positive. I am certainly not as rabid in regards to Kean as many, but I am not as blinkered to the glory that is Kean as well. Kean could streak naked through the streets of Burnley with "###### on Jack Walker" on his back in red paint and some would think that he was cleverly instigating our inbred neighbors. The club could sell any player for 50p and Hughesy would think that the player was crap anyway. Kamy has voiced concerns to all and sundry about the club and what Kean is saying, does he get stick? No. Why is that I wonder? Why is it that the people who see a contradiction in selling your best players to buy better players so very very wrong? To go forward does one have to take two steps back and hope that the barrier in front of them will magically disappear?
JW11 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 No. Maybe because no one knows how much samba is going to cost or be sold for?
Teacup Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Maybe because no one knows how much samba is going to cost or be sold for? I cannot see Venky's giving us more than say 15-20M, so that other 30M I assume will be from transfers out.
