Summer 2011 Transfer Window - Part 3.

Are you asking about Papiss Cisse?

If you are then yeah i have a couple of times on Espn last season. He scored in both games and look quality. I

What is football manager? People keep mentioning this on here.

He's on about Pablo Piatti. If you read more of the posts on this forum, instead of scanning over them, following it with a reply asking Nicko for information on the last 5 names you have read, you'd have known that. On that subject, asking Nicko questions should be banned, we're lucky enough to have him post what he see's as relevant and informative, as and when something crops up I'm sure we'll all be made aware.

On topic, I understand that there's a lot of falling out behind the scenes, but for a club like ours getting players signed ASAP is a must. Witsel, Cisse and Piatti are probably on other clubs wanted lists, however lower down on theirs as they are currently chasing bigger targets. The longer we wait the more likely they are to want to sign them also. Also, Kean wants to play a far more excited style of football, the longer pre season they have working on it as a squad the better.

Some Spanish sites reporting that Miranda's contract does not expire with Sao Paulo until July 10th. Probably explains why all quiet on that front.

[Majiball]

After yesterdays rumours of 3 players at Brockhall there is silence today, nothing, nada, diddly squat. Are Venkys still playing hunt the mole? Has the mole been uncovered?

That was our depleted squad returning for pre-season.

[chaddyrovers]

not Cisse, Piatti

no i haven't.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We now have the money to invest in a decent talent manager for a sustainable amount of time. Whether they know how to spend it is what we're asking now.

Just a little improvement MMLP!

Get real. I'm sure some of our questions help him in figuring out what to ask for as it's an indication of what we're wondering about at the time. He's a well informed journo on a messageboard who makes a living out of asking questions himself...

Obi Mikel is represented by SEM/Kentaro, and he didn't play too much for Chelsea last season. I know he, like N'Zonzi, passes sideways and backwards a lot but he has the ability to be a box to box player. Also still fairly young (24 Nigerian years), but would he come? And how much would he cost?

You don't own a copy?

I'm more than sure after doing this for as long as Nicko has, he's more than aware what questions football fans want answered..

Ha ha, if that is the case the things are certainly not looking good. Has Myles Anderson had the Shearer to Newcastle home coming treatment today off us? Or has he snuck in the back door? Has anyone ever been booed on debut? ha ha

I also feel from the sheer volume of them that he ignores that he wont say more than he feels he needs to.

If he were willing to share more at that time he would. I doubt highly that he comes on here wanting to play 20 questions.

The one that gets me is "Close to signing anyone yet?" Like he forgot to mention it.

Browsing Google and found a couple of bizarre links to Nacho Novo and Daniele Portanova? Here's hoping there is no truth in those two then!

The Nacho Novos link to Rovers is from some news in early May, nothing recent.

You've outed yourself there Mrs Desia, John Obi Mikel to rovers indeed.

I really hope so!

I'm sorry, I didn't realise having respect for a profession and not wanting to to read through 12 pages a day to find something of significant value reading constituted to asking somebody to marry you these days.

Daniele Portanova is true,you have asked his agent Simone Canovi about him.If you have any sense thats all you'll do.

[booth]

Its irrelevant when comparing our chances of relegation between the management of Venky's and the Trust. I wasn't saying that P.Jones loss was irrelevant to the playing squad.

Make sense?

It makes sense that you totally missed the point of what I wrote.

So you agree that Phil Jones loss is relevant to the playing squad. In that case, do you agree it's worrying that a committee cannot agree on transfer deals with pre-season fast approaching when we have key areas to fill - Phil Jones and Jermaine Jones replacements being two of them?

Right now in terms of playing staff we are worse off than under the Walkers. That is a fact.

Hopefully it will change in good time for the season, but for now with what Nicko posted earlier it's a worry.

oh please no, hopefully a defence coach role like tony warner lol, this transfer window getting embarrassing , Myles Anderson ,Tony warner and now portanova, is this what venkys call signings to get the fans excited , cause im not excited

cisses terrible on football mangaer for the reccord thats why you cant trust it

also i think we shoild try for mikel obi aswell and zerkiov as he is a rovers suppoorter and a left winger

My oh my, another Lorenzo Amoruso on the horizon!!!!!!!!!

[Kelbo]

You would never get anybody to confirm that difference of opinion about targets.

But...

On the manager issue, I don't think he will quit.

Me neither, he is a very fortunate Bunny and whatever we think of hime as a manager, he knows full well if he quit Rovers, there would be very little out there for him!!

Reading the names above, it really is looking like our worst nightmare unfolding before our eyes.

How bad are those names.

Warner is appalling FFS!

My point was that Id rather be under Venky's right now then under the Trust and thats regardless of the Jones sale.

I dont like the noises suggesting that our transfer activity is being run by various committees, however, everyone wants the same thing - Good players coming to Rovers. They know that we're going to be judging them based on this summer's recruitment of players and after all they've promised, they wont dare to fail..
