cruz Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Get Crouch as part of the Samba deal. Guaranteed six points from Spurs when Crouch makes mincemeat of Samba in the air....AGAIN

dubdubdub Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Bentley and Keane, the only two I definitely don't want. Cash/Bassong/Defoe/possibly Crouch/possibly Krancjar (spelling) - of the slightly realistic targets anyway.
Give 'Em the Axe Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Hehehe, yeah Crouch murdered Samba for that goal at Ewood last season. Crouch would be great for Rovers, as a spearhead for our quick, tricky wingers and 'in the hole types' he'd be perfect. His link up play is really first rate and I think he has a lot more 'football intelligence' than he is given credit for. Never mind his consistent goal threat. Isn't he one of 'arry's chosen ones though? I doubt it would ever be a goer.
braddock Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'd be happy with Crouch and a decent wad of cash to spend on a centre back.

His link up play is really first rate and I think he has a lot more 'football intelligence' than he is given credit for. Never mind his consistent goal threat. I agree with this, Crouch would be ideal for us for the reasons you have mentioned. Would never happen though, and to be honest i'm not sure i would want to lose Samba for him.
67splitscreen Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 heard defoe refused newcastle.. cos he doesnt like pardew! managed him briefly at west ham and they didnt get on. interestingly pardew also sold james and and few others that were big voices in the west ham dressing room, with strong opinions. he's doing it again... carroll, nolan, barton and enrique. Defoe, next stop Villa ????
den Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Wow wow wow wow wow......less of that den You used to be such a nice, positive chap Sometimes it has to be done Gav. and I'm still a nice chap, just always been a bit of a pessimist I know. After watching rovers all this time, I blame them for all the let downs.
Steve Moss Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'm confess to not being a football expert, but I would be okay with a Crouch for Samba trade.
jim mk2 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'm confess to not being a football expert, but I would be okay with a Crouch for Samba trade. Last time I looked Crouch was playing centre forward not centre half so how does that work ?
Gav Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'm confess to not being a football expert, but I would be okay with a Crouch for Samba trade. The problem then would be replacing Samba and Jones for little or no money Steve.
Steve Moss Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Last time I looked Crouch was playing centre forward not centre half so how does that work ? We get Crouch as a CF, taking care of the 1-2 spots that we need to fill there. We then need two CBs to replace Samba and P. Jones. Or one, if we move Givet over but then we need one CB and one LB. A Crouch for Samba deal does not reduce our need for incoming players as a gross number, but does shift the focus from forwards to defenders. Which is to our advantage financially, I believe. I hope the above makes sense to you.
glen9mullan Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I hope Rovers keep their stance, Keep Samba, or if they do let him go its for major major money, especially if it Spurs We already need 1 centre back and getting 2 this late in the day is not going to be easy. If Rovers really wanted Spurs cast off's Samba would of been at Spurs weeks ago. Buying players is not done randomly, Blackburn have highlighted where they would like strenghten, and started the process of doing this, If we suddenly get players thrown at us that upsets that plan then the logical answer will be no. Spurs want x amount for various of their players, and will have to practice what they preach, and cough up accordingly, Only a cash deal would suit Rovers IMO

Brfcrule1 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I have to say definitely no to keane/Bentley keane far too old & bentley is a poor mans david beckham would never fit in due to lack of pace the only deal worth doing is if we get Defoe & 1 otherif they are not prepared to let Defoe go would tell them to do one.

I hope the above makes sense to you. We have already lost our best centre half so the prospect of losing our next-best centre half and replacing him with a centre forward and being highly unlikely to replace said next-best centre half given that the season is fast approaching makes absolutely no sense at all.
heysham rover Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Bentley has gnoe backwards at a rate of knotts since he left Rovers, he didnt exactly set the world on fire during his loan spell back end of last season now did he.
philipl Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 If we do lose Samba which I desperately hope we do not, we have zero option but to take Bassong coming in the opposite direction... if he would come to Rovers. Virtually no clubs go into a PL season with less than five central defenders. We'd be down to Nelsen and Givet and one extremely raw Hanley.
dubdubdub Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'm sure people at the club are fully aware that we'll need a defender or two if we sell Samba.
watford-rover Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 what is everyones views on trying to get steven taylor from newcastle as a replacement?
Tooogs Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Defoe and Kranjcar for Samba and cash would be a dream deal.
rogerjonesgloves Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Defoe and Kranjcar for Samba and cash would be a dream deal. Throw in a subscription to 'Total Carp' and its a deal.
Blueboy Downunder Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Defoe and Kranjcar for Samba and cash would be a dream deal. i would value the big fella at 20M....so how much cash from them, plus defoe/kranjcar would suffice??
A cup of beans Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 what is everyones views on trying to get steven taylor from newcastle as a replacement? my view... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! i would value the big fella at 20M....so how much cash from them, plus defoe/kranjcar would suffice?? 15-20M IMO john oshea went for 5m dont forget!
Tooogs Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 i would value the big fella at 20M....so how much cash from them, plus defoe/kranjcar would suffice?? Defoe = 10-12M Kranjcar = 4-6M Any cash would be a bonus in my eyes so maybe just ear mark it for their wages. I'd be happy for straight swaps and their wages allocated for. I wouldn't value Samba at £20M though yet in today's market (think Jagielka) I'd say he is. CRAZY!
chris Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 i would value the big fella at 20M....so how much cash from them, plus defoe/kranjcar would suffice?? I'd value samba at 15 million I'd value Defoe at 11 and kranjcar at 6
