USABlue Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Flavio is from Italy and Bernie is British, there is a third owner from India at QPR of course but why let facts get in the way of a jibe. The decision on who we sign is down to the owners and we are not at the point the door has closed yet. Lots of clubs are taking their time but too long and some will lose faith sooner than others, not that everyone had faith in the owners from the day they came in. Why would I? OK so he has only a 20% stake, my apologies for my opinions.

BangkokRover Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 im really disappointed we havent signed jermaine jones ..he was brilliant on loan for us - we will definatly miss his presence in central midfield Sorry there no way he is worth the 10 million his club wanted.
cruz Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 How the apathy is spreading. Just after 11.00 and only 40 using this thread instead of the usual 200+. A very sad sign of the times. Most likely due to the lack of transfer information (even if it did miss the mark 90% of the time) now Nicko does not contribute so much.
daveoftherovers Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The last game of the season at Wolves - i was very optimistic for the 2011/2012 season. The first 45 minutes were the best i have seen for a few years. We ripped Wolves apart with experience, youth, pace and power. The way Kean wanted to play was finally coming through the players and we had the nucleus of a very good team: Robinson, Samba, Olsson, Hoillet, Jones, N'Zonzi and so on. A month after the season ends we are linked with some quality signings and i am thinking with a few extra additions we really could challenge a top 8 spot in the League. I also start working at BRFC and everything seems rosey - we are going to be marketing on a global scale across Asia, plenty of money to spend, Paul Hunt joins to steer the ship, new head of youth development and the club feels good. I just finished at BRFC (won't tell you in what capacity) but the place has a weird vibe around it at the moment. Pavone is not a bad player - i would welcome him to the squad (not a starter) Hopefully Venky's will suprise us but i was fed some very good information during my time there and i was to believe all would come good (read my past posts) but that has now gone. Thanks for your insight Vintage, it has been useful to find out what has the inside mood has been like, and I hope you have moved to something else or find something quickly.
Give 'Em the Axe Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Sorry there no way he is worth the 10 million his club wanted. Thats precisely it. I remember earlier in this window there was a link from somewhere saying the asking price was in the region of 5 million, which for me, would be fine. I really liked JJ and his boundless energy, but you have to wonder even if he was going for 5 mill, would we have even stumped that up.
philipl Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I am sure that if there were genuine Rovers transfer activity, nicko would be posting.
Give 'Em the Axe Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I am sure that if there were genuine Rovers transfer activity, nicko would be posting. @PhillipL or anyone else: have you heard anything, or do you have any notion on the Inaki Aguirre link from Saturday night? The story didn't appear in fleshed out form in the People. My guess is that either the editors didn't run with it (not glam enough) or it was a non runner that got proven as such before the People went to press.
Taggart Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I am sure that if there were genuine Rovers transfer activity, nicko would be posting. I agree Phil, but it is strange that he hasn`t been posting on anything, not just transfer stuff - he has still been writing his articles for the paper though, so a bit strange. Nicko - if you are lurking, can you shed any light, or have the sources dried up after all the internal witchhunting ?

imy9 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I think Nicko stated that he would no longer be providing lengthy commentarys on his articles.
Taggart Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 A refreshed article on the Serbia Ace that we are in talks for........ http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_7060462,00.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
pick32 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Good to see that the rumours on this one are actually real lets hope we can finally see a deal through and get this Serb in the famous blue and white halves.
Taggart Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Good to see that the rumours on this one are actually real lets hope we can finally see a deal through and get this Serb in the famous blue and white halves. I think people will be slightly more relaxed when we make our first cash signing and one that seems like an improvement on current players - I certainly will breathe a sigh of relief as it means that they are spending !
cruz Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Good to see that the rumours on this one are actually real lets hope we can finally see a deal through and get this Serb in the famous blue and white halves. But as usual with all Rovers related stories the trail soon goes quiet hence the comments about nothing being heard for the last 24 hours etc etc I think Nicko stated that he would no longer be providing lengthy commentarys on his articles. Wasn't that due to the "rattle out of the pram and I'm taking my ball home" reaction to his post being hacked?
Mercer Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Maybe people have seen that you are posting. You really are a t0sser with very little value to add to this site.
BigBar Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Petrovic would be a very good addition..exactly what we need and a better option than Jones in my opinion, only just gone 22 too, him and Nzonzi together with Hoillet and Olsson supplying the ammo once we get a decent striker in..perfect!
callumrovers Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Surley all this hate towards Venkys should be aimed at the Trust who sold us to them?
BigBar Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Surley all this hate towards Venkys should be aimed at the Trust who sold us to them? I dont think they could have predicted just how shambolic these clowns would have been! If you sold your house for the asking price would you care if the neighbours hated them??
deryck guyler's spoon Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 You really are a t0sser with very little value to add to this site. Ouch!
Neal Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Cryer has been on twitter saying there IS something in the Petrovic link, not far down the line though.
booth Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Lancashire Telegraph - Venky's do a Corporal Jones and say "Don't panic" Just shows what a geek I am, I immediately thought of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Kelbo Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Surley all this hate towards Venkys should be aimed at the Trust who sold us to them? In all fairness, would the trust have seen through the blatent lies Venkys told them when purchasing the club?
broadsword Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 In all fairness, would the trust have seen through the blatent lies Venkys told them when purchasing the club? Did they actually meet them in person?
