Kean wasn't involved in transfers last season....and Shebby has played a major role this season.

Lays eggs.

Lays eggs.

Is that a euphemism for talks shyte?

More like being the grammar police. But yes, we might as well can it a euphemism for the endless ribbon of drivel that comes flooding out of his fat gob, resulting in car crash interviews.

Rosado back in town according to Nicko.

Likes his wine does our Stevie!!

Shebby 'Think we should get Rosado'

Kean, 'prefer red but Rosado will do'

[67splitscreen]

Not bad Kelbo, early doors too.

Joke aside, this guy actually looks like he has something about him. Has played on the top level in Portugal (Liga Zon Sagres) where he scored two goals in 17 matches and also played for the U21. A quick google will also see him linked to other teams such as Genoa and Liverpool.

He seems pretty fast so should be able to play on the wings. Can't be worse than Formica or Lowe on the right wing anyway.

Let's hope so. Kean's decision to play Lowe at RW is just so baffling. Almost as if he's determined to play him every week, regardless of the position. He's a decent RB for me - that's it.

Which one was the "young Gattuso"?

Which one was the "young Gattuso"?

I think Jorge. Expect him to play tonight against MK Dons.

Nunes was the lively winger I think.

Cheers, Nunes looked good I thought. I'm well out of touch with who is who though.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

He's signed!

Anyone else completely underwhelmed by this?

[promoted2001]

Apparently his signing/signed. Are we moving to Portugal or something? How many is that now?!

[Hekla]

I was just reading some articles about him, he sounds like a very talented player. Let's hope he is good.

Former U-21 captain

This was from July 27th :

"

Liverpool and Chelsea target Diogo Rosado has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Premier League clubs, reports talkSPORT.

The former Portugal under-21 captain is available on a free transfer after refusing to sign a new contract with current club Sporting Clube de Portugal and is reportedly interested in a move to the Premier League.

Chelsea and Liverpool both hold a long standing interest in the 22-year-old, who impressed out on loan last season at Primiera League side Feirense.

The 6’1″ central midfielder scored twice in 17 games for the minnows, standing out in a dismal Feirense side that were eventually relegated.

Italian outfit Genoa are also tracking the sylish midfielder, with reports suggesting he had agreed a long-term deal with the Serie A club.

But sources close to the player have denied these rumours, insisting that he has his heart set on a move to the Premier League.

Rosado is yet to make an appearance for Sporting but is highly rated by the Lisbon club"

[alexanders]

Quite exciting about this one. You have something in your locker if you are captaining portugal U21.

Yes he's so highly rated that the club who played a 16 year old are yet to give him his debut and he's 22.

It doesn't add up.

[TugaysMarlboro]

So has this lad signed then? I saw an LT bilboard today that said "Diogo close to Rovers Debut" or something of that ilk.

I wasn't aware he'd even officially signed. I can't see anything on the official site.

[T.J.Newton]

I was just reading some articles about him, he sounds like a very talented player. Let's hope he is good.

Is there a single footballer we have been linked with or signed that you don't think is great or has great potential!, they must give free happy pills out in Iceland, nothing wrong with being positive but maybe you'd feel differently if you lived minutes away from the ewood circus and had to endure every bit of crap that oozed out of their lately.

No need for that at all. I just give every player a chance before they play, what would be good about slating someone before seeing them play? If they are poor then I have no problem saying so. Maybe I'm a nice person who wants to see players do well rather than having a negative attitude. It's the way I've been brought up.
