Ciprian Marica

[alexanders]

Confirmed on Schalkes official site

I really wonder how we could be in pole position yesterday and the signing gets confirmed by schalke early today. Doesnt sum up.

[philipl]

It sums up we don't have the right people behind the scenes for pulling off the transfers we need Alexanders.

He was an option but we had not engaged in "meaningful talks", I call that "Doing a Phillip"

Cryer had identified him as a target ten days ago and he was one of the three named strikers Venky's had identified as their top targets and wanted to sign two of. This was as serious as it gets these days.

So we have to hope Balaji works the oracle on Raul and we get Podolski.

Or other good strikers out there.

But Rovers/Venky's go back virtually to base zero on trying to sign those.

And have they been watched by the scouts??

Have no idea, but Alan Nixon stated that we had coach during Copa America. We might be in negotiations / talks with other players from South America.

On Marica: I think he would come with to much baggage.

I know three strikers Rovers want Caprica was not one of them.

Allow two days (if you are lucky) to get a visa and travel time and 4% of the remaining window disappears in delivering a travel fatigued confused Latin American player to the Dunkenhalgh.

Poor journalism it would appear

Marcia held talks with the club and he seemed interested, Rovers thought that they could tie up this deal early next week but for whatever reason he decided to go to Schalke. Can't really blame the club/owners if the player chose to stay in Bundesliga.

Rovers just need to move onto other targets, we still have a month to get a couple of strikers in.

I agree with yor statement Kamy. Move on to other targets.

Most probably the reason why he stay in Germany is because of Family reasons.

Champions League semi-finalists boasting the likes of Raul and Huntelaar in attack, or Premier League relegation fodder boasting Jason Roberts and...errr....Nick Blackman? Hard choice.

Nice spin.

[roverandout]

and the fact that rovers thought they could 'tie the deal up early next week' seems to be the usual with this mob and while that happens other clubs move in. Venkys are full of sh*t. No great loss anyway as marica is just another ordinary player
