[Archived] Summer Transfer/discussion Thread

[chaddyrovers]

If it is Toral, Nixon is hardly going to admit it until he's either 'broken the story' or the lad has signed - haven't posters on here said Nixon wont commit on this one until the deal is done?

All I can tell you is that a friend in London (has Arsenal season tickets) understands Rovers have asked about Toral and what he also heard today suggested that he was on his way to us.

Chaddy - have you asked 'Al' about this (Patrick Roberts) ?

On Toral Alan Nixon has said no to me twice and the same about Roberts from City.

Guess we have to wait until this player signs

Mercerman I respect yourself and enjoy your posts so please take it as a dig or attack on you.

Wasn't Nixon also denying Coyle to Rovers until deal virtually announced?

JBiz, what's with the academic arguments? They have sold all our star players one by one and,very early in the piece, in clutches.as well as getting rid of as good as a manager as we could get.

In fact, so keen (hate that word) were they to get rid of players who could really play, they paid them to leave in some cases,in other cases they were simply never picked, for weeks on end.

Will never forget Wigan where N'Zonzi was substituted AT HALF-TIME in a game we had to win to stand any chance of avoiding the drop.

Now they have sold all the expensive players, we are down to the ones who can attract any sort of reasonable fee----Hanley, Marshall, Evans, possibly Duffy. Soon the entire team will consist of youngsters, free transfers and loans and there will be no-one left to sell, unless, of course Coyle works miracles with them.

In that unlikely case, the circus might continue for a year or two more. I seriously expect us to be in League 2 within two or three years.

All this in 6 years! From a team regularly finishing in the top half of the Premiership, with gates of around 22000, to this.

In the face of what has happened, what is the point of arguing whether it's deliberate conspiracy or not? Who cares?

If it's not, and instead the owners are merely responsible for where we are by sheer stupidity, neglect or something else,what difference does it make?

The only thing that remains naïve about Venkys reign at Rovers is the people who still give them the benefit of the doubt, mmake excuses for them and clutch at straws that they'll get it right.

By all means keep loyal to the shirt but as for the rest just give it a rest. A blind Rovers hating Burnley fan could see it stinks to high heaven and for a host of reasons the club remains rotten to the core.

It isn't even a club anymore that's the main problem it's just a souless 'vehicle' used by different people for different purposes with no one person or organisation getting a grip on it and doing what's best for it's future. It just exists.

No dig Chaddy - just asking if you'd asked Nixon (who you sometimes refer to as Al) about Roberts.

Thats a question for Alan not me

[tomphil]

Your beginning to sound like him now

Is Partick Thistle now your second team by any chance ???

[Mercer]

Seemingly, Nixon thinks this PL midfielder will be a real coup for Rovers.

As Nixon is apparently close to Coyle and gives the impression that he knows the names on the list, or lists, then he is hardly likely to let his 'buddy' down by confirming to intrigued Rovers' fans on Twitter (such as yourself) the name of this so called starlet / game changer. Hence the 'no' to you asking about Toral / Roberts even if it is either one of the two or even both of them!

Dont have any second team.

I have 1 team and 1 team only Blackburn Rovers Football Club

That was just bonkers that Nixon wasn't in on that, they're very close the 2 of them, to the point where the dingles actually blamed Nixon for Coyle joining Bolton!

Kamy revealed who the mystery player is yesterday.

who then ?

[punerover]

I hope the midfield signing[if it happens] is someone with quality, either a creative one or a box to box, we are desperately short on both. No more DMs please. We have enough of them already.

[Mike Graham]

Dont have any second team.

1 team and 1 team equals 2 teams Chaddy ;-)

[ABBEY]

Who do you understand it to be and why?

Don't say because of Nixon. If it IS because of Nixon, you should type 'Nixon understands'.

amen to this brother

[islander200]

Kamy revealed who the mystery player is yesterday.

No he didn't.He said he had heard a strong rumour it was Patrick Roberts.He wasn't 100%

[Athlete]

No he didn't.He said he had heard a strong rumour it was Patrick Roberts.He wasn't 100%

Don't know how this works as he's already on loan if anyone can clarify loan rules be grateful

[islander200]

From what kamy said,Roberts had a break clause in the loan with Celtic

[bigbrandjohn]

Nick Powell could be interesting

[Athlete]

From what kamy said,Roberts had a break clause in the loan with Celtic

Yes but how does a loan break clause work

I'm asking what is the rule on this type of arrangement

[oldjamfan1]

As I posted yesterday, I would be astonished if City were allowed to break Patrick Roberts' loan with Celtic and then loan him out to another club.

Besides, from what I know of it both parties (Celtic and Roberts) are happy with the arrangement.

[roverandout]

No, you have two teams, teeeeaaamm niiiixon, go Nicko, go Nicko!!!

[neophox]

Toral was Birminghams best player last season.

Nick Powell surely one of the strikers Coyle lined up as free agent...

[47er]

No need to be patronising.

Who says he wants to play for us more than the next club?

.

1)I replied in kind.

2) he said he wanted to STAY.

Stephen Hendrie has joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old Scottish full back moved from Hamilton Academicals to West Ham last summer but failed to make a single Premier League appearance under Slaven Bilic, who was not involved in the deal that brought Hendrie south.

"I’m absolutely delighted to put pen to paper," the defender told Blackburn's website. "Obviously it’s a massive club, it's going places and I'm buzzing to be here and I can't get wait to get started".

Going places? Clearly yes but will it be up or down?

[dallydally]

Much talk about Leicester's bids for Michael Keane; the latest - supposedly £15M - turned down by the Dingles

We could have had him for £1M after his loan spell; he was outstanding during his time at Rovers. We didn't take the chance and the rest - as they say - is history

Why do I raise this? Well with much talk about Grant going all I'd say is there ARE always other options out there. It just needs a sharp eye for quality and some shrewd dealing

If you want another example here's one word "Vardy"

[Neal]

If Hanley does go to Boro then surely the obvious choice would be Baptiste back on loan.
