Summer 2011 Transfer Window - Part 3.

[bluebruce]

I said it was one that could be done quite easily - or would be done quite easily if people could pull fingers out.

Are fingers still firmly embedded in sphincters and being wiggled around then?

Have we any fingers in the pie yet or coming close?

[EWOODACE1]

nicko. was just wondering how you came about getting into our club. ive read that you aren't actually a fan and you support a scottish team ( apologise, cant remember who, maybe partick ). i also watched the jack tribute last night and noticed you were involved with that.

I think the situation has calmed down a bit and people's positions have become more clear - with roles more defined after a crazy few days.

It is becoming obvious that the agents advising the owners - that is Kentaro more than SEM - will have a huge say on recruitment.

So the lists of last week, possibly as many as THREE, were something of a waste of time.

Where that leaves the 'live' targets is what is keeping me occupied just now.

There HAS to be a decision on Miranda shortly.

Moves for Vucinic [the manager's choice], Cisse [somebody else's] and Keane [the manager again] are nowhere near done. Mind you, they have not joined anybody else either.

Piatti still has not had the call. But he has still not had the call from anyone.

Witsel is there to be done and seems to have the agreement of the committee.

It is all slightly mad, pretty new and a bit of a drag.

If you get some good players nobody will care. If you don't I would suggest there will be big trouble ahead.

[dubdubdub]

So we've signed him but he won't be picked? Good----- but wouldn't it be cheaper not to have signed him?

Possibly...possibly not. Never seen the kid play. No doubt it'll be cheap or free with cheap wages though. Even if he's balls then can probably sell him on to some lower-league team.

And...if his papa ends up doing a good job (we'll know soon) then it's a nice little sweetner. I'm sure people didn't moan about the signing of Julio Santa Cruz.

Just been hanging around like a bad smell for longer than I care to remember.

Plus I installed some very high-tech bugs in the boardroom about 30 years back...and nobody has discovered them yet.

[Torgeir]

They had three lists? One by Kentaro, one by our scouts and one by Kean? Does Kean have any say at all?

[Oklahoma]

I hope Kean doesn't get what he wants, at least with Keane and Vucinic. Keane has lost it and Vucinic doesn't want to play for us.

Since it has all calmer now, I hope they start working and actually sign players for the first team.

If you get some good players nobody will care. If you don't there will be relegation ahead.

Fixed for you Alan, let's not beat around the bush here!

lol

your lucky they wanted the exact same boardroom put back together then for the new stadium.

seriously though why rovers.

Hi Nicko thanks for the updates, you say Witsel is there to be done and seems to have the agreement of the committee, what would be holding this up, if you can say of course?

Should we be expecting any news Nicko?? Its been a LOOOOOoooooonnnnnnnnggggg week!!!

[Iceman]

Piatti still has not had the callfrom anyone.

This is what worries me, why has nobody been in for him? He is a top quality player, so unless something is wrong with him ie injured, not sure why nobody has made an approach. i could be wrong though, and there are clubs in for him.

[rebelmswar]

They had three lists? One by Kentaro, one by our scouts and one by Kean? Does Kean have any say at all?

Personally I hope not.

[Roversi]

Venky's really do make it hard for themselves.

[BRFC_Pilkz]

Nicko, Do you expect us to go for any of the targets next week or will they still be argueing who to get and for how much?

[Kamy100]

As ever Alan, good and accurate stuff.

Any truth in the rumour that I have heard that Kean/Anderson are not entirely happy about his/their suggestions being knocked back? Have heard that this is just one of the reason why there has been this delay. Possibly even leading to Kean considering his future?

Kamy, no one has every said anything so romantic to me before. Can we go out for dinner?

[LeChuck]

You're right, we didn't. That's because we were trying to help keep our multi-million pound rated star striker settled at the club. It was completely beneficial to us to do it.

Myles is totally different! The day we start bending over to make agents is happy is the day this club dies.

[broadsword]

Jaysus, more questions than answers.

Who the heck has been the driver to get Cisse in then? If people are trying to get players over the manager's head then there will be trouble one way or another.

a new way of doing business, "total chaos".

[RibbleValleyRover]

Don't know but maybe they should be the ones to decide who we make solid moves for considering the manager's suggestions (Vucinic and Keane).

I know it's completely different. Was just putting that for argument's sake. Still haven't seen him myself but from what I hear about him, i could get on the books.

[BRFC_Pilkz]

Nicko, Any news on Miranda?

[Kelbo]

Just come back from Mallorca and spoke regularly to a friend and ex Scottish pro and there were lots of giggles and sniggers when Rovers signed Anderson, I asked if he really was that bad and he said, 'you will see for yourself!
