Nzonzi off?

[Damien]

I want him to stay until after the window shuts and I want him to work his arse off to win the fans over... Then I woke up with my face in my cornflakes... He won't change though!

We desperately need him to go quite frankly. We already signed his replacement in Etuhu.

[thenodrog]

Have we not got shot on this tosser yet??

And yet we moan when some players show 'disloyalty' to our club in seeking to move to a better one.

[Hughesy]

With Stoke's move for Huddlestone faltering, it makes sense to approach them and offer him for Jones..... Infact id be happy with a straight swap

[braddock]

And yet we moan when some players show 'disloyalty' to our club in seeking to move to a better one.

To be honest there are ways about going about such a move. And there are also ways of the fans treating him as well.

Nobody ever seems to get it right though, on either side.

Quite. Or the way I see it:

Hardened Rovers fan - (possible reaction): "Kean is clueless. His arrogance and lack of tactical ability are killing my club. I'm not going again while Kean is here."

* Rapturous applause * Don't dare call him/her not a real fan.

Long-standing, if slightly petulant Rovers player (nothing some decent man-management wouldn't sort) - (possible reaction): "Kean is clueless. His arrogance and lack of tactical ability are killing my career. I'm not playing again while Kean is here."

* Boo! Hiss! * How dare he? He's not fit to wear the shirt.

It's called hypocrisy.

I'm not sure N'Zonzi's transfer request is in any way a protest at the club's plight or Kean's management. More a protest at Kean's management of him and an act of self interest much like Samba's.

Interesting notion that Rovers supporters possibly owe N'Zonzi a debt of gratitude. It seems to me he has spent much of his time with us sulking and being a general pain in the rear..... as Mr Allardyce would no doubt testify to.

[braddock]

They are paid to play for the club and it makes sense to play well to get a transfer, so it's different.

...but that's exactly what he's trying to do.

[Mercer]

Looks like he's offski:

Agent King‏@FootyAgentKing

Stoke are close to signing MIDFIELDER Steven N'Zonzi from Blackburn after the 2 club agreed a fee today #Stoke #BRFC

[Nobert]

Their sort of player-6 foot 4, athletic, can be a bit of a bruiser at times. I'm guessing the Huddlestone move fell through, so Nzonzi was plan B. Hope he does well.

[Eddie]

I don't. He's the perfect example of what is wrong with modern football.

[Damien]

I can never understand people hoping players do well after they move on... Personally I hope he doesn't do well at all!

[Taggart]

I don't. He's the perfect example of what is wrong with modern football.

Touche' couldnt agree more Eddie. He is the new "Le Sulk".

[savage90]

Who? Oh...... him.

[LeChuck]

Surprised Stoke didn't sign him at the start of the window.

Pulis already plays four centre backs and has a 6'7 striker. Not many other areas of the pitch he can add genuine height. N'Zonzi is quite rare in being a very tall lad in there whilst also being technically sound. I think he's perfect for Stoke - an improvement on Glenn Whelan in open play and extra giant for set pieces.

At least we already signed his replacement; Etuhu has settled in very nicely so far.

[thenodrog]

...but that's exactly what he's trying to do.

Small wonder when he see's the way the likes of Salgado, EHD, Samba, Nelsen etc were forced out by the manager, not to mention upstairs men like Allardyce, Williams, Finn, Goodman, or his own men Hunt, Jensen etc. Kean is one ruthless conniving slimeball, the regime he works for are dodgepots and 99% of BRFC fans hate them all with a vengeance.

Can we really place any blame on the likes of N'Zonzi, Jones or Hoilett who have also baled out without a backward glance?

[Hughesy]

SSN claiming Olympiacos are in talks with us to sign him

[Pedro]

He will go wherever we are offered the most money for him, that is the one thing that I like about the current owners.

No he wont. He'll go where he wants to go.

[Pedro]

No he wont. He'll go where he wants to go.

I disagree...and so does Chris Samba.

[Hughesy]

I disagree...and so does Chris Samba.

Ha ha +1

[RoverScot]

SSN claiming Olympiacos are in talks with us to sign him

Is this for a loan deal or a permanent? Anyone know?

[braddock]

Massively off topic, and for that I apologise, but how is Samba doing these days? I haven't heard anything since the racism thing.

[Eddie]

He's done OK. Held down his position and been reliable from what I have seen and read. I watched them in their last Europa League game and they looked decent.
