[Archived] (RB) Bruno Ribeiro

[Hughesy]

Bruno is their older brother

Maniche is the middle one who isnt fit, who people thought it was earlier

Jorge Riberio is on trial

29 year old left back/ wing back.....International who lost his place to David Luis...does that free Givet up for the middle or just left back cover??

So Hughesy has confirmed todays latest mystery man is Jorge Ribeiro, brother of Maniche.

He plays in a Left back / wing back role.

Thought?

[Hi Mack]

I don't think I can blame Venkys anymore.....who the helll is suggesting these no marks? We are not improving our team we are just bulking our squad.....yawn!

[donnermeat]

Jorge Riberio is on trial

I'm not knocking him before I've even seen him...but I'm going sleep. Had just about enough of this scratching round for freebies and trialists now.

Is this the player that would cost us, and make us happier than the Pavone news?

[Hughesy]

Noticed on his stats not very many appearances for the last few years....

As a free if he steps up to the mark in training then fair enough....BUT Venkys BUY us a PROPER Striker and Midfielder this week please...

[imy9]

Zac- you said we'd be happy!!

maniche wouldve done.. if he was fit. he may yet be given time to prove himself.

he's over here staying at the dunkenhalgh.

[HATRIX]

looks good on youtube (villanueva syndrome ).he can whip a good cross in for nobody to get on to it .MAGIC .

[Hughesy]

Zac- you said we'd be happy!!

That was probably earlier when there was confusion around and people thought it was Maniche

Do wonder if we will look at both though, Maniche's clips on Youtube remind me very much of the goals Tugay used to score here.

Wait we were also considering Maniche? I thought he had just come with him, I can see why its interesting now

[UtopianParadigm]

Zac- you said we'd be happy!!

Everyone's been stressing the need for left back/defensive cover... I guess people would be happy that it's a step in a sensible direction.

So long as he doesn't cost (am I right in thinking he was released by Benfica this season or am I wrong, anyone?) then I'd say this is perhaps a step in something close to the right direction... Sticking my neck right out with that, ha!

Not happening is it.

Scratching around for bargains may be all good and well if we're baulking up the squad, and we may even find a rough diamond but we need to spend big bucks if we want to land a 15+ goals a season man. Heck even a 10+ which they seem extremely hesitant to do.

All cock and no balls this lot.

Edit: sorry for going off topic.

and boy was there confusion. the background story behind finding out the truth behind the caos was incredible. never to be told though!

[DanielMB]

I was happy when Sam was fired, because that would mean no more has beens. Jokes on me

[Lurid Coat]

Used to be a huge fan of Maniche, but he's lost his way a little lately. Would still love him at Ewood just to see a former "hero" in the blue and white shirt, but I have my doubts as to whether he'd actually be a significant improvement on what we already have.

Ribeiro was good enough to be taken to the European Championship for Portugal three years ago, but I have no idea how good he is nowadays.

As usual, very little to get excited about.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looking at his transfer history he seems to have had a bit of a 'nomadic' career, joining a club then going out on loan after a short spell. Wondering why that is? Could that be a bad sign?

If Rovers want a left back that's fine as long as the more pressing areas are filled also (strikers and central midfield).

[UtopianParadigm]

I don't understand.. Isn't Maniche a free agent now?

Unless you're suggesting we'd be cheered up by him..? Isn't he quite old now? Surely? Mid 30s???

[HATRIX]

See you in abit, im off to the dunken to get maniche fit for tomorrow ,anyone lend me a stopwatch and whistle?

Dont think jjb open now.

[booth]

Why were people so cagey about releasing this info?
