[roverandout]

luca effin toni? what the hell? a 34 year old hasbeen, i feel sick

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

LMAO

The Pythons couldn't write this script.

[hawkiiz]

Great. I would rather we buy Dann as replacement for Samba, and play Samba as striker than get Toni. He is no good anymore.

[JW11]

Turns out Venkys do read this board. Sadly for us they misinterpret immensely...

[T.J.Newton]

i think the hack nico is just taking the ######, proving again how unprofessional he is, he really needs to loose that chip from his shoulder in regards to blackburn.

agree. would be massively disspointing if we sign a has been.

And we've gone from tragedy to farce. Luca Toni. Wow.

[Tom]

In terms of fulfilling the prophecy it's great, in terms of what we need, not so much

[john-rover]

Tbf I think Toni is a good option for a year, much better then what we have which I know seamy speak volumes.... Bring Dann in as well and we look quite strong.... Shane the manager is incompetent

[tombarton]

has to be a wind up? Any info glen9mullen or kamy?

[perthblue02]

look on the plus side it says the Kean is in talks with him, good chance it might go t*** up if he starts blabbering off into fantasyland, the worrying thing "Rovers are working closely with agent Pini Zahavi" Frying pan fire?

[hawkiiz]

If we sign Toni, we will actually have managed to trade Kalinic with someone even worse. Well done.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Luca Toni?

No thanks.

[steo]

Please tell me this is a ###### take,luca toni i'd rather play with Roberts upfront for 90 mins every game than give that waster a minute on the pitch,after all the hype it's just another depressing day,what is the story with Scott Dann?

[glen9mullan]

Don't get to disappointed, this is the same Niko who last night claimed we had not moved for Dann or Yakubu, Now he has linked them into his story

There is far more options than that on the table and dependant on chains of events tomorrow, it will ultimately decide which striker arrives at Ewood.

[B.R.F.C]

Toni is a decent option in my opinion. Past his best but he will do a good job for us I reckon...alot better than Yakubu or Jason Roberts for example.

[briansol]

Seriously people? You don't want Luca Toni as an option in attack? Take a look at the table, realise that is the last day of the transfer window and say yes please.

[Paul Mellelieu]

The Luca Toni thing is an 'in' joke.

[roverandout]

this has been the worst transfer window i can remember, even worse than under the trust, at least we didnt have any expectations under them, only to be badly let down, i mean a loan deal as well? how will that benefit us long term? i give up with these numptys (including kean) JUST GO NOW!!!

[Oklahoma]

Luca toni? No thanks!

Yakubu? No thanks!

[joey_big_nose]

Ha! Had to happen eventually!

Well I haven't watched him in years. No idea if he is anygood anymore. Used to be briliant.

Essentially we just need whoever to comes in to be able to compete in the air, hold up the ball, lay off and finish. The leg work will be done by our (hundreds) of attacking midfielders/second strikers. Can Toni or the Yak still do it? Not sure. So a bit underwhelmed to be honest.

Transfer wise people have, in my opinion, been a little harsh on Kean/Venkys. Goodwillie, Petrovic, Formica, Rochina all look like good signings. I am certain Vukcevic will be a quality addition. Dann will be a good signing if we get him. Jones was a great signing last season. On balance it does look a lot better than the last couple of years under the Trust.

That said we deseprately need a quality striker, an experienced defensive midfielder (J Jones on loan please!) and a centreback/rightback (Dann would be quality!).

[Kamy100]

Luca Toni has been offered but this is a deal that is far from being done. There are 2 other strikers that are being chased, not 100% sure of the names. Toni is something that has been proposed to Rovers but he is not the priority. All I have been told is that Rovers expect to be busy tomorrow, time for the talking to stop and for Venky's to deliver.

[Torgeir]

Luca Toni is a legend! If offered service he will still score, he just needs a run of games to get going. Some fans need to lighten up a little. It's Luca Toni ffs!
