That's a blow about Samba, need to hold out for every extra penny and I believe Mrs Desai will.

Let's hope things get moving the other way this week

Yeah, I sure hope so. He is our best player, and when we have just sold a player like Jones for 16 mill, why would we sell Samba for 10-12 mill? He is our best player, he is only 27 years old, lots of good seasons in him, got contract until 2015 and has shown what a great defender he is over a few seasons now.

If we sell him for less than Jones I will be disappointed and baffled! If we get 20 mill (which is not going to happend I reckon, with Wenger holding on to every penny he's got) I will accept the sale and we could bring in a new good defender for a smaller fee and still have a few quid left to someone else.

Samba will go to Arsenal, I think. Its just a matter of getting a fair price for him. With Fabregas on his way to Barca, maybe Wenger wont mind splashing a few extra millions!

[Hughesy]

To be honest If I was Rovers I wouldnt sell Samba for any less than Jones anyway, he is our main man, a better defender and makes much more impact than Jones. He's a bigger loss for us.

So £16.5m please, which will see us clear £14m if he does go!

[Tooogs]

I hate it when we have money to spend then sell a player and then the only money we spend is from the sale of our players and the initial transfer budget goes missing. Happens all the time with Rovers. I just cant see us spending £26M plus Samba's fee if he goes.

I can't believe we keep getting done for those bloody sell on clauses. We could have easily made a deal for an unwanted reserve team player without adding it in, another £200k or so on top probably would have done the trick.

For all the good work JW did, that was one really poor part of the previous regime. We've lost out on millions. At least Desai doesn't seem a soft touch so maybe we won't be so soft in the negotiations from now on.

[Glenn]

It's not just incoming transfers. We can discuss potential outgoing ones too.

[braddock]

I was glad to see Nicko say that if he was leaving it would be for big money.

[Hughesy]

Gallagher in todays LT said no less than £20m should be Samba's price.....same for Hoilett

[Fraserkirky]

Good news indeed, Venky's I dont think enjoyed the bend over treatment from united. Plus Samba may want to stay if we start splashing the cash soon. Arsenal certainly dont look as if the are dying to get a deal done.

Nice looking Bird by the way, Brad.

Kean - no pressure to sell Samba

In other words, no release clause! Arsenal will have to stump up big cash for him I think, so I dont think they will get him!

How do you equate that to mean that there is no release clause?

I said - I think.

I think the words 'no pressure' also suggest similar.

Nicko has also already revealed on this site that their is no clause.

Good old Mrs D!

I'm considering getting her (name) on my back next season. Can only afford surname of course.

You mean a tatoo? WOW!

I'd probably have her on my back literally before getting a tattoo haha.

[neophox]

We should at least demand £25m for Samba if Arsenal want him.

[braddock]

As far as I am aware Wenger has said this window he is actually going to spend for once.

Probably shouldn't have said that.

Must have felt under pressure from the fans to make such a rookie error. Or maybe from his bosses. I presume the former though.

[Poita]

Seriously?

Samba wants to leave, that's in the Arse's favor.

They would never pay anywhere near that.

[braddock]

Be lucky to get 10-12m for him.

Well we have been told he won't leave unless for big money. Sounds to be like a minimum of £15mil is guaranteed.

Bring on a bid but they'll have to pay big. Samba would go down in my estimation if he did go too, given that they've lost more key players than us so far this close season, with another key one to follow, and they seem to have stalled.

[alexanders]

Sideways move to a club in turmoil. He would rather stay at Rovers if we match his ambitions me thinks.

[brian_gallagher85]

I see big Chris has been mouthing off in France - L'Equipe article. Says that if a good opportunity arises then he wants to take it and doesn't want Rovers to stand in his way.
