Ribble Rover Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Nicko Blackburn. Close to doing a deal for young Samuelson from West Ham. Midfield talent. Blackburn. Still on with left back, two centre halves and another mid. At least... I said this lad a couple of weeks ago. Quality all the way which means it won't happen. I'd be happy with him

Swanson Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Yes Samuelsen might be a coup. I my opinion he might be better than his more famous name brother Martin Ødegaard at Real Madrid. Samuelsen is currently in the Norwegian national team, Ødegaard is not.
J*B Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Always thought Bilic was an intelligent man. To send a kid out to Rovers, he must be nuts.
JHRover Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/martin-samuelsen-signs-3270873.aspx Confirmed. Neither here nor there for me. Far bigger issues to address which will take a lot more than bringing in another young loanee. I'm ever so glad we lifted that transfer embargo though. Where ever would we be if we couldn't spend any money/sign our own players rather than relying on other teams kids?
AJW Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I'd prefer Hird and Bailey i'd take chuffin Scott and Bailey over our current choice!
Glosrover Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Always thought Bilic was an intelligent man. To send a kid out to Rovers, he must be nuts. but to send two??.................... hes already palmed us off with Hendrie [unless we had a 30 day returned items policy of course].
alexanders Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Martin Samuelsen ready for Rovers. Exciting stuff!!!!! On loan.
G Somerset Rover Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 He sounds an exciting prospect, but IMO we need 2 x FB's, 1 x CB (providing Duffy stays which is unlikely) and an experienced CM before adding another youthful, fancy dan type, to the playing squad. Oh well, it's akin to rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic in any event.
Stuart Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/martin-samuelsen-signs-3270873.aspx Confirmed. Neither here nor there for me. Far bigger issues to address which will take a lot more than bringing in another young loanee. I'm ever so glad we lifted that transfer embargo though. Where ever would we be if we couldn't spend any money/sign our own players rather than relying on other teams kids? Looking like FFP was really a non-issue but helped to mask our lack of funds. Remember all that "we can't spend because of FFP"?Highly rated youngster but not a position that was a priority to strengthen unless this now clears the way for Marshall to leave? Which continues leaves a hole in the squad at the end of the season, and Lowe and Henley to 'fight it out' for right back. (That'll be the world's wettest arm wrestle). It also means that areas like goalkeeper and fullbacks are just not being looked at. Ho-hum. Welcome aboard RMS Rovers.
gazsimm Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 good player and i am suprised he's come to Rovers to be honest. I can see Marshall & Duffy being shipped out now. We still need a left/rightback, center half and a steady goalkeeper for us to stay up this season.
Dreams of 1995 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I have it on good authority that Duffy to Brighton and Marshall to Fulham. He also told me either Samuelson or Mcmannaman, so guessing it's samuelson. Also Jack Cork is the premier league coup. However Leeds also interested and with Swansea connection he is likely to go there. We bid 100k for Ba and was rejected - went in with higher offer today.
Jock Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 good player and i am suprised he's come to Rovers to be honest. I can see Marshall & Duffy being shipped out now. We still need a left/rightback, center half and a steady goalkeeper for us to stay up this season.And a real manager
davulsukur Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I like the look of that Samuelsen. He looks about 12
rhodie Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Good little player just what we need a bit of flair, have a look at this goal:
Parsonblue Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I like the look of that Samuelsen. Totally agree. He was very impressive at Ewood last season for their Under-21 team.
davulsukur Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I have it on good authority that Duffy to Brighton and Marshall to Fulham. He also told me either Samuelson or Mcmannaman, so guessing it's samuelson. Also Jack Cork is the premier league coup. However Leeds also interested and with Swansea connection he is likely to go there. We bid 100k for Ba and was rejected - went in with higher offer today. Cork would be a good signing.
OJRovers Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 We're going to have a young central midfield then with him and Bryne! Suppose it's better than what we've got.
davulsukur Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 As things stand on 1st July 2017 we will have an outfield contracted squad of: Danny Graham Anthony Stokes Elliott Bennett Elliott Ward Corry Evans Craig Conway Darragh Lenihan Liam Feeney Out of contract next summer are: Adam Henley Shane Duffy Ben Marshall Gordon Greer Hope Akpan Danny Guthrie Loans ending at the end of this season: Stephen Hendrie Jack Byrne Sam Gallagher Worrying to say the least. Although, you've inexplicably missed out Captain Fancrapstic. You'll have to class Wharton as a first teamer now also. But still having only 10 outfielders is alarming

However Leeds also interested and with Swansea connection he is likely to go there. We bid 100k for Ba and was rejected - went in with higher offer today. Cork is a good player but I wish he sorted the main positions out 1st like a rb/lb cd and gk
Dreams of 1995 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Personally I'd play Wharton as left back and if this Ba is good enough play him there with Greer. Leaves us terribly short but we have to predict by now that Wes Brown is going to come in eventually + flat-foot Ward when he's back from injury. Right back is a REAL problem, especially with Marshall off. Lowe isn't good enough and Henley certainly isn't. I just don't see any others out there. We will have to deal with Steele I think. I don't think we'll get Cork and many on twitter claiming it isn't him, with that "talk of Ewood" constantly barking on about "I know who it is but I can't say I wish I could!!!!!!!!!" crap (worse than Nixon, don't say anything if you can't....) and he says it isn't him. However I trust the guy I heard it off today more than him. But even he said Leeds' links with Swansea more or less means if they go in Cork will go there over us.
windymiller7 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 i'd take chuffin Scott and Bailey over our current choice! Definitely - I've a bit of a thing for Suranne Jones!
Pedro Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Cork is a good player but I wish he sorted the main positions out 1st like a rb/lb cd and gk Yeah, we desperately need leaders, winners and experience right through the core.
Commondore Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Surely this means the end of Marshall? Or is Samuelsen intended to be a creative resource in a central midfield/no. 10 role, similar to Byrne?
Pedro Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Talk of N'Zonzi to Leicester for £25m. Always rated him and thought his £3m fee from Stoke was ridiculously low.
