News in Portugal about Witsel claim the deal between Benfica and Standard Liege will be finalised today.

The price mentioned is between €7.5 million and €9 million

I wonder what that is in pounds at TODAY's exchange rate. Yesterday the Euro slipped very badly against the pound.

Rovers were after Witsel. Two kind of bids were made.

Witsel's agents are 'advisers' of the club, so they would be aware of all developments.

No excuse. Repeat. No excuse.

Just as an aside if you were in a position to buy players for a Prem club would you be prepared to pay transfer fees which will be written off completely in 3-4 years? If so why? It's a facet of football thats baffled me since the Johnny Bosman affair.

maybe the excuse is he thinks benfica is better for him, they can offer more than we can,(european football), just cause we been in for a player doesn't mean he wants to come here

benfica may be in Europe but which is the better league the portugese or the premiership ???

looks like samba is off then, couldnt blame him. He must be looking at what is going on with rovers lack of transfer activity and be thinking he could do alot better. I would do the same if i was him. The owners clearly arent ambitious enough,

Can I clarify something...

Tony Warner

Benjani

Baez

..a lot of people keep saying we have 'signed' these three people when there is no confirmation anywhere, not on the Rovers site, not on their respective clubs' sites and not even on Wikipedia. So have we actually signed any of these three and if so why hasn't it been confirmed yet? Have we lost our web team to Man Cuty as well?

He has been looking for a transfer for a long time now!!!!! Long time before the Venky's bought the club.

As for ambitious, maybe they are. But being ambitious doens't mean being stupid. So, if your team has little money, it's best to spend it wisely.

What would you call Bebe's transfer to United last season?

It was ambitious (£10 million) but very stupid. I still consider it as a payoff to some agent.

I don't think we need to spend a lot of money to improve the team, and I don't think we will either.

If you imagine we signed 3 players on 30k a week (free), all on 3 year contracts, that is basically the Phil Jones money spent.

The likes of Pavone, and Owen Hargreaves could add to the squad without costing a fortune. Imagine if we paid 8m for a player on big wages? if he was to fail we would lose a lot of money. History shows how expensive european flops can be

Blackburn with Darwen is the 17th most deprived area in the uk, yet the fans of the football club seem to be more affluently minded towards their football club than any other.

Insanity!

I think what people need to understand is, if we strengthen the squad without spending a ton of money, surely that's a good thing money saved?? Who cares if they come on a free or not, especially if they work out! If not, we've not wasted a colossal transfer fee!

Benji told the LET that a deal had been agreed, club has not announced it yet. A few people have said Warner was/is in talks but nothing has happened, i dont know if we are still trying to agree anything with him, Baez isn't listed on the site nor did he play in the recent reserve friendly, so they are all a bit of a mystery.

artisformallyknownas, what are you talkig about? dont need to spend alot of money to improve the team? we need at least 5 or 6 quaility siginings to even make midtable. Where do you think rovers would finish if we only spent limited money? because i know where we would finish, bottom 6. We have lost two of out best players from last season, we have no strikeforce and no midfield. Are you one of these that thinks rovers will be pushing for europe next season and go on a cup run? No wonder venkys arent putting their hands in their pockets when they hear posts like that. We need to improve a very average squad greatly otherwise i darent think of the alternative.
