[Archived] Transfer Talk Part 4

[neophox]

I think its right to build a partnership between Duffy and Hanley.

[joey_big_nose]

That we have signed Lawrence and we want another striker makes me nervous about Rhodes...

[rovers11]

Possible names are Simon Cox, Matty Fryatt, James Vaughan

James Vaughan is a good guess. It will be someone coming towards the end of their contract, perhaps a year left or something like that.

Emile heskey on loan

[onlyonejackwalker]

Hard to keep track and hard nowadays to feel any affinity, to any player. Especially when so many have been unfit to wear the shirt. How many players have come and gone since this shower arrived? Someone make a list!

Bowyer's rattling them along merrily as well. We know he did 3000% magnificently with two of them. What about the other 34? He's hardly a sourcing specialist, just rang the bell with two of them at a relatively low level in footballing financial terms anyway.

I'd like us to get a decent right back and would make that a priority. Or a better goalkeeper.

[Neal]

Vaughan would be class but can't see them letting him go.

[RevidgeBlue]

Leaving aside any question of quality in terms of numbers we now have:

3 keepers

2 Right backs Inc. Nyambe plus Lowe who can playthere.

2 left backs

3 centre halves

13 midfield options

4 strikers

In terms of numbers the only area we look light in is CH. GB must be hoping Lenihan or Lower can fill in there in case of emergency.

Would you say there's any area in which we are particulary over-endowed?

I didn't say "quality" I said "numbers"! Numerically I think we've got way more players than we actually need except at CH.

Frankly that's hilarious.

It was a joke, never mind.

Sorry I thought you were making a serious point about the level of quality in the squad. Lol.

James V from Huddersfield is the man we are trying to get according to Nicko.

Udders must need to reduce their wage bill. There doesn't appear to be anything else for them in this move (if it's true)

[chaddyrovers]

Blackburn Rovers trying to do a deal for James Vaughan at Huddersfield. No idea how that can happen. But there we go ...

[patrickvalery]

Have I missed something here? Are Huddersfield prepared to let him leave for free?

[Swanson]

Never mind.

Huddersfield chairman confirmed last week that they won't be offering Vaughan a new deal when his contract runs out at the end of the season. Mainly due to injuries and because he's a top earner there. So would appear they are keen to get him off the wage bill

Why do people pick and choose over Nixon ? He's a rivers hating hack

[tomphil]

Simon Cox ? You can shove that one although we've shrunk to that level now and he does plunder a few goals I suppose. Dread to think of the agent connections in background on that one. Vaughan is decent at this level but injury prone and are any of these two better than the Fonz ?

Are there no half decent young strikers with a bit of potential somewhere who'd love a crack at trying to make it at a club like Rovers and earn potentially a 10k pwk contract ?

[SoldierMo]

Niko then follows it up to say dont know how this will happen-logic

[tomphil]

Nicko walks around with a 6x5 wooden fence panel permanently wedged between his arse cheeks he's been sitting on it that long.

Like a poster on here did

[Don Said]

Vaughan's contract is up at the end of the season, their chairman came out and said he won't be offered a new one a few days ago, he'll know Duffy and Akpan from Everton days, seems very do-able.

Decent player with an acceptable scoring record - 1 in 3- but terrible injury record. Wort a punt as an alternative but a gamble, nothing to depend on.
