Non-Rovers Transfers

[DE.]

Mears has already broken his leg during training, tough luck for Notlob, especially with Lee also suffering a broken leg!

[braddock]

Jeffren went to Sporting Lisbon yesterday for £3.25m.

Him and Capel on either wing for under £7 million!

If only we had some sort of structure at this club, it shows that there are players to be had at the right price

One club in the entire world makes a transfer which hardly anybody else was rumoured for yet it's us who get the blame? If they are that good why didn't other Prem clubs go in for them. Not saying players are only good if you have rivals for their signature, but there must be a reason nobody went for them. Reasons we wouldn't know about, be it affecting the players interest, or the clubs interest.

I am hardly blaming the club here - I would say that wingers are the positions we least need right now.

Rather just a passing comment that with the proper board positions in place and clarification over who is actually in charge of finding players, there are excellent players out there to be had within whatever the latest budget is rumoured to be.

It would be nice to get back to the days when purported transfers were not the rollercoaster ride they currently feel to be

Disconnecting from the internet is the only way.

Gazetta della Sport are reporting Man City have bought Sneijder for £31m.

If true, what a signing.

[philipl]

Seems not..

danroan Dan Roan

City deny Gazetto report that £31m deal agreed for Sneijder - senior official says "nothing in it" - Sir Alex can return to his cornflakes

[Nelsta]

Carew set to sign for west ham.

[Iceman]

its getting rather ridiculous at City now, they still sitting with so many players who won't feature this season.

[Steve Moss]

Newcastle is apparently buying Gabriel Obertan from ManU for 3 million. Set to sign a 5 year deal. We should have moved on that.

He is awful.

Like a duck with learning difficulties.

Not for me.

Hope City don't sign Sneider I really don't want them to win the league.

How'a JW doing with selling them off? Just asking...

[goodwillie_style]

i can see city having a mass clear on in the next few weeks they cant keep adding to the squad like this without getting rid of some of the high earners who are sat in the reserves

[LeChuck]

Carew set to sign for west ham.

Seriously? I wish we'd gone for him. He's the sort of player you want on the bench when you need a plan B.

Sam is building a pretty impressive team down there. Not sure about his claims that his style will change to please West Ham fans though - Carew, Nolan, Abdoulaye Faye...

[pick32]

Obertan will never be a premiership player he is too weak and his massive head means he has no balance.

[Ricky]

There were some very good free signings available this summer and we've missed the boat on them.

[braddock]

I wouldn't say we missed the boat.

That implies we would have wanted them.

I wouldn't want Carew at the club. He'll find his level now as a very good Chumpionship player at his age.

[Ricky]

If we'd signed Carew he would have been our best striker at present

[Give 'Em the Axe]

If we'd signed Carew he would have been our best striker at present

Absolutely. Carew is a quality player.

[G Somerset Rover]

If we'd signed Carew he would have been our best striker at present

What better than the evergreen Jason Roberts?......

Nice bloke but I really do hope this season is Jason's last with us. He's gone from around 4th choice to our mainline striker in the space of a few seasons. Sign of the times I suppose.

[Billy Castell]

I'm in a minority, but I don't see the fuss about Carew. A good free transfer, but he gets niggly injuries and can have quite a few games where he has no effect. If he was really good, Villa and Stoke would have kept him. Still better than Roberts though.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

With Carew, Carlton Cole, Parker and Nolan West Ham have the quality to be at least where we finished last season if not Bolton level.

Getting back to the City outcasts, I hope Onuoha becomes available for silly money when we're still in the CB hunt.

[Ricky]

You do remember that they got relegated last season don't you fylde?

[Fylde Coast Fan]

That's the fascinating thing about them, though. They've consistently and massively underperformed for the last five years or so, culminating in their current position. The blame lies 100% with poor management of the team and the club.

Back on topic though, Chelsea have agreed a fee for Romelu Lukaku and he'll have a medical next week.
