Transfer Window Chat Thread

[he6rt6gr6m]

I respect your opinion and admire your enthusiasm, and perhaps I might agree with you if this were the same team that played against United, but as it stands I think we would miss the Jones boys too much. I wish our day would happen more often.

Definitely, but they aren't irreplaceable. It's just a matter of spending the money.

This is what glen9mullan has said on blackburn.vitalfootball website just now.

Ok was asked my take on this so I will now go through it, after spending a number of hours at Ewood today,

I loan agreed- If this is referring to Gibson this is old news, and was brought to these boards around 6 weeks ago, Its still possible but no imminent

1 striker intended on perminent deal- The only striker to snub rovers who we have made an official enquiry for is Raul whicj was today which everyone knows about, Will add this was only an enquiry and not a stone wall BID

Not aware of any striker snubbing us who we have made an official approach for, Only names that came out yesterday were Robbie Keane and we had no interest whilst Newcastle have moved in on Modiba Maiga who has been one of Rovers top targets all summer and may still end up at Ewood.

I Bizzare Rightback- Not sure who this maybe, been made aware of 2 defenders we are in talks with, One is confortable across any where across the back four and one is a centre back, both would be cash purchases

1 striker i heard about earlier might be happening, although that is in the very early stages...- Again without talking to Tombo not sure of the striker he is referring to, but can confirm we have moved closer to grabbing a striker who is a good player, is a proven goalscorer, he is the one I referred to last week, that deal is very much alive and it wnt be cheap

1 perminant deal for a free agent is on the cards, but is dependent on wage budgeting according to the players we need to sign.------- Been offered a number of free agents over the summer, and are contiunally offered them on a daily basis but to my knowledge none of these are imminent signings or have been highlighted as being so

1 perminant deal for a CB is close to happening, but wouldn't put it past Rovers to screw that up right now... As earlier stated we are in Dialogue with 2 defenders and at least one of them expected to sign this week.

Kean issue- Rovers monitoring fans response but exit looks highly unlikely as its very much business as usual at Rovers as we try and sign players, we have not put these moves on hold, quite the opposite we have upped the game, There is high confidence that we will make the signings of the players highlighted.

Raul- There was an enquiry yesterday, but just like any other enquiry we would make, this was leaked out at the german side, The player does not want to join Rovers so that appears dead, In repsonse to one or two who said this was not the case, I can ensure you the enquiry was made, and if anything would of come from that enquiry it would have been a very expensive deal which would have had to be personally funded by the Rao's as our current budget would not have allowed us to do so.

Following conversations today I'm very positive that we are not just dipping our toes in the tub. I fully expect at least 3 permanent signings and 2 loans. At a guess at least a further £15 million will be spent on Transfer fee's with additional cost of agent/signing on fees

[Brownie]

On a personal level we really need to buy some strikers with great FIFA(the game) attributes. Losing Santa Cruz(80) and Mame Diouf(77) will really impact my game if not replaced, when FIFA 12 comes out.

I was thinking the same whilst playing my son at fifa11 at the weekend !

To be fair on glen9mullan he seems more in the know than a lot of people, but at the same time how many times have we heard this over the last few months?

Things tend to speed up as the transfer window starts to slide shut. here's hoping.

oh didn't know that Ste B

[glen9mullan]

Was going to post on here but Chaddy beat me to it lol,

That was indeed in response to a post Tombo put on the site and I went through it and answered the queries people asked to the best of my knowledge.

With so much technology, i.e forums, online papers, twitter ect, so many stories come out on a dialy basis which as fans drives us all crazy, and plays with out emotions, this is why its sometimes much better to not know names ect because I think we have been through enough this summer to last a life time.

Things have moved up a gear, and its now in Rovers hands to make it happen, I genuinely believe the penny has dropped and we will see the results now which we should of seen earlier in the window,

Sorry for my spelling

Déjà vu (didn't work out too well last time)

[chaddyrovers]

sorry Glen.

A very good insight into rovers transfer dealings at the moment

So he's the one he said Noddy was the British Prime Minister.

Oh wait a minute, he is.

In response to Tombo AKA West Sussex Rover who's been making stuff up for ages on Wikipedia and other websites.

To be fair he knows quite a bit, and to my knowledge doesn't make things up on Wiki..

More a response giving info to the board rather than to Tombo in person as well..

[Ricky]

Can't believe people over there still give Tombo, WSR or whatever he calls himself any credit at all. He is most certainly not in the know and has managed to get himself banned from here 3 or 4 times.

His Wikipedia was probably the funniest thing ever.

However it's nice to see from Glen that we're looking at spending, let's just see if he's right ad it differs from Kamy and Nicko's view.

[Pitty]

I have alway found Tombo's info good.

[Billy Castell]

For.........goodness sake. I am so utterly annoyed by all the bull that has gone on. Get your act together Venky's get the deals done and stop messing about.

[Balwer]

funny how rover23 and Pitty, who are backing a banned member up, joined this site very recently, on the same day

I think it's possibly a few members came over from vital and vice versa.

Yes because I need 2 accounts to get my point across..

And if you are implying I am Tombo.. Check the site staff on Vital Blackburn..

[Halstead]

It is not that Raul decided not 2 go to Blackburn. He wanted 2 but club didnt let him go/Raul quería ir al Blackburn pero el club no le deja

GuillemBalague twitter

[Speedie Dived]

To those writing off Raul I would take a look at Guillem Balleague on Twitter. Raul has NOT turned us down. No deal agreed with Schalke

[RoverPedro]

Beaten to it

Its ok, I know that yourself and Glen are fine. Certainly not trying to make any trouble, but pointing out that the initial post was in response to a poster who was proven in the past to to have no sources whatsoever. Anyway, lets try to keep ot on topic thanks.

"You work very hard to get info for these boards to share with others and should not worry what others have to say, it comes with the territory unfortunately

You have always come up trumps with some good info, which at the time of you writing it has been valid, sometimes things change which makes anyones info invalid, but its always wrote with the best intentions"

From Glen.. So the guy you like to believe is backing up the guy you fail to believe? What happens now?

[Balwer]

I actually have no idea who Tombo is. It's just that if you've both just joined the site and you both joined on the same day and you're both backing up a banned member it brings the.......impartiality....of your claims into question, because it makes me think you're a couple of his mates (why would I think you'd make two accounts?).
