So are we done now? Surely we need more than 5?

...or do we need a sale now...

[T J Hooker]

i think well have at least another 4/5 new faces in by the end of august and i also think we will actually pay money to by somebody at some point,

as for sales, i dont think any of our key players will be sold unless they push for a move and a big offer for them is made, tbf to the venkys( ) when it comes to player sales they aren't afraid to play hard ball and most(if not all) of the sales of key players we've had have been because the players has forced a move or their contracts where coming to an end and a new deal wasn't going to be signed(or the player was asking to much)

[neophox]

Have you read this Feeney? You are not wanted! Look what happened to the last one who was not wanted, Keith Andrews. It could happen to you too.

Terrible post...

Doesn't most of that apply to Marshall and Duffy (last year of current deals)

[T J Hooker]

well if they don't sign new deals(that suit both parties) soon then it would make more sense to cash in on them whilst they have a value, i think new contracts for existing players will start to be discussed seriously once everybody's back in training and coyle's had time to assess the players in the flesh.

Wes Brown joining Rovers for pre season trial

Wes Brown joining Rovers for pre season trial

Cheers Chaddy

Nothing wrong with a trial, he struggles with fitness apparently and his legs gave gone.

Worrying with the Hanley rumors though.

[T J Hooker]

if we can get 20 good games out of him he'd give us the real experience we're lacking in defence(and in the team in general)

Would defo take that, his legs cant be any worse off than Duff at Burnley... Has bags of experience.

Wes Brown joining Rovers for pre season trial

Where have you seen this?

[T J Hooker]

in the link hes posted in the 'transfer links only thread' i imagine

from the sun

"WES BROWN has been given a surprise chance to join Owen Coyle’s new-look Blackburn.

The former Manchester United and Sunderland defender is looking for a club after leaving Sunderland and will link up with Rovers for pre-season training this week."

Wes Brown joining Rovers for pre season trial

As long as he's not related to Chris Brown he'll do for me !

What happened to the young players Cheston said the new manager would have to bring through? Brown is 36 and would want decent money for what, twenty or so games. Unless the deal was pay as you play he should be nowhere near.

Absolutely spot on with the first point Tony........however, Brown is very experienced and if Hanley is going he could also be good for Duffy. Remember the jobs that Kevin Moran and Tony Gale did for us at the end of their careers.

Pay as you play would be the way to go on that one, for sure, and at least they are putting him on trial rather than just signing him.

[Ricky]

I was going to mention Chestons comments about young players. All the signings so far are either over 30 or heading towards 30.

[Ricky]

If we're looking at out of contract players if like us to look at Steven Taylor.

(I did mention Marc Wilson but read he's actually still under contract)

76 appearances for Sunderland in five years should be the deciding factor here Andy. He has had three long spells out with separate knee injuries. I really think he is far too much of a gamble.

[47er]

Obvious that Hanley is off and possibly Duffy given his performance in France. 36 year old, injury-ridden replacement seems to have Venkys written all over it.

Anyone who can be sold will be sold and replacements will be as above or youngsters on loan.

Blackburn Rovers, former Premier League Champions, scraping along from week to week on sticky tape to cover the cracks.

I wouldn't sign Brown cos of injury record

Its just what you wonder if Cheston is even involved in the decision making process or just doing as he is told.

Tho hopefully Coyle bring through players like Mahoney, Tomlinson and Wharton this season.

I disagree that Hanley is off. Teams will have to pay the asking price for players. wasn't there a rumour a few weeks that Fulham had bid 1.5 mil rejected.

in today's Sunday People they are reporting that Hanley asking price 5 mil plus and teams like Fulham, Sheff Wed, Derby and Burnley are interested.

Lets not forget that Brown is only coming in for Trial not to sign.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

As awful as it sounds. Burnley could easily flog Keane for £15 mil and pick up Hanley for £5mil as replacement. Would be good business for them.

Keane was very good with us and should have been signed. With a little effort it could have been done.

Brown isn't worst but it's very obvious he couldn't play every game. We need leadership and that we would get.
