sparkspakespoke Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Nope, it was marked down because it wasn't what some folk wanted to hear. What position? Well as someone who marked it down I can tell you it was because it was such a strongly negative view which cant be formulated at this point. If I had read a comment that claimed the signings were all going to be fantastic and we aregoing to challenge for Europe now I would have done the same. Nothing to do with what I do or dont want to hear, I just appreciate a reasoned argument. If you care to look back at some of philpl posts you'll see I'm one of the few who has given him a plus depite him being the bearer of bad news. It seems to me you have made you judgement, which in a way I understand as the situation is dire at the club, and anyone who who has a opposing view of any kind is automatically a Rovers Fan. Which is sad as its this kind of attitude that stiffles any decent debate and ends with a pack mentality on here.
imy9 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Yes it is. All about interpretation, £6 million for someone in the last year of their contract as Ibi is, would constitute a lot of money. Out of interest what sum would constitute a reasonable amount of money for a striker?
chris Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 My point is that it is pointless comparing him (or the fee) to Ronaldo. Rovers can't sign the top level of players - we have to players who've lost their way a bit who may be available for a decent fee. Santa Cruz, Bellamy, McCarthy - even Tugay to an extent. If this lad hadn't fallen out with managers in the past etc - there is no way he'd come to Rovers. awwwww you didn't understand what I posted. I simply questioned why he was valued at 2 million from someone who had seen him play regularly. the example of Ronaldo was to demonstrate that this club have sold players for higher fee, so it has to be asked why he is so cheap in the peak of his career. ...and you thought I wanted Blackburn to buy Ronaldo awwww. If you having a go at me for trying to estiblish where his valuation has come from then that up you.
67splitscreen Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Consider mebtioning Simon Kjær from Wolfsburg to him - very talented CB eho wants out - and club wants to sell. Danish Intrernational - better than Agger. :-) Roma agreed a 8.7m deal yesterday for Kjaer.
dhughes07 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Barios now being linked again. What a signing that would be. in fact it would be immense. By the way "i am not in the know". Barrios now being linked again, that would be immense.
Roberto Policano Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Consider mebtioning Simon Kjær from Wolfsburg to him - very talented CB eho wants out - and club wants to sell. Danish Intrernational - better than Agger. :-) Joining Roma Kjaer.

Which is sad as its this kind of attitude that stiffles any decent debate and ends with a pack mentality on here. It was a strongly negative view? What, saying that he isn't impressed with the players linked? Give over man. Plus, you still haven't said what my judgement is. What is it? .
Lancs Rover Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Why do people keep talking like this? "Behind the curve" - what the f**k is that? Management bullshit, speak English man! Oh yeah, on topic.....Vukcevic FTW. Ich kann auf Deutsch nur fuer dich, wieleicht. "Speak English" from someone who uses a German tagline!! What the f**k are you hiding behind, then? What I mean by 'behind the curve' and the reason for posting the comment is that perhaps some fans aren't ready to support a club that thinks big and aspires to develop a less narrow minded, equally aspirational supporter-base. A point you answered pretty succinctly. Believe me, I have long-term links with Hamburger SV. If Rovers really do aspire to being a big team in Europe, they will need to take their fans with them. And the German model of discouraging players from parading their cars at the stadia, regulated fan ownership of clubs, involvement by fans at all levels etc. etc. prevents narrow-minded comments on websites becoming representative of supporters opinions. You can reply in German if you prefer. I'll understand.
Lurid Coat Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 No offense Den but your knowledge of European football is pretty limited if you have never heard of Simon Vukcevic. Or Ibisevic, for that matter. Good striker, but would prefer to get a striker in who can hit the ground running. Ibisevic is reportedly out til October.
Amo Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 It was a strongly negative view? What, saying that he isn't impressed with the players linked? Give over man. Yup, pre-judging players he hasn't seen play. Then again, he watched Phil Jones, Hoilett & Olsson play and thought they were crap. EDIT: Thanks for your seal of approval.
sparkspakespoke Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 It was a strongly negative view? What, saying that he isn't impressed with the players linked? Give over man. Plus, you still haven't said what my judgement is. What is it? . I explained your judgement in my last paragraph of my previous post. If you dont consider Jal saying "Totally underwhelmed by all of these summer signings." about players you yourself say he's unlikely to have seen play as negative, then I'm not sure what yo consider to be negative . Why is it not okay for people to have a problem with Jals post, you say they wont have seen them play so they cant pass judgement, but it is okay for Jal to pass judegemnt in the first place? Anyway I guess this is off topic now and cluttering up a thread that finally has some action in it so we can continue this by pm or just agree to disagree.
Rover & Out Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Simon Vukcevic for £2m could be a very astute piece of business. >£5m for two international midfielders, both at good ages, should be considered very good.
AJW Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 right maybe i've missed something because ive spent the last 45mns whizzing through these pages since the exitment broke about 5pm last night , but , i'm sure Kamy or Zacc or someone said we were in for 2 defenders 1 young on loan ( i.e wilson or boyata ) and 1 in his 30's small fee ...thats not onouha then is it
Pete1981 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 roversfanben Ben Smalley @ @BomBom77 @MikeyDelap @St_Jimmy_77 Not yet, Bom. But Heskey is undergoing his medical at Brockhall as I type.
AJW Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Defenders - loan player is under 21, the other defender is over 30. Won't cost big money. Midfielder is under 21. so who is the over 30's defender then ????
pick32 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 roversfanben Ben Smalley @ @BomBom77 @MikeyDelap @St_Jimmy_77 Not yet, Bom. But Heskey is undergoing his medical at Brockhall as I type. I like Heskey but I've been telling my brother today who is a liverpool fan that rovers will be getting a striker who will score goals, if Heskey comes i will get slated for years!
T4E Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 That was really boring. I think I'll ignore you and your curve from now on and stick to waiting to see what players we sign.
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I've just put Big Emile in my Fantasy team this morning. Out he goes.
2PAC 4 Blackburn Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 The Heskey rumour must be some kind of sick joke!!
chaddyrovers Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 roversfanben Ben Smalley @ @BomBom77 @MikeyDelap @St_Jimmy_77 Not yet, Bom. But Heskey is undergoing his medical at Brockhall as I type. it is ben from blackburn vital. He has just said it is BS and he was taking the ######. He is a clown!!!
pick32 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I very much doubt its true just a wind up im thinking.
chris Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Heskey is this a wind up? I've just put Big Emile in my Fantasy team this morning. Out he goes. you must have a good team
