davulsukur Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Be annoying if we miss out but not much we can do if a prem club comes in for him. Hopefully we get this done before anyone else makes a move but if Leeds or West Brom want him, they'll get him. Quote

tomphil Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Can't be many Rovers fans left able to follow the Partick Handbag it's almost like he knows we have his number. Doesn't want his groupies realizing he's 90% billy bullshit. Never mind most of them will work it out eventually, wonder what name he uses on here these days...... 1 Quote

Just think for the first time in a while,and in difficult times, we are actually trying to address the defence,and paying fees,which JH has always said Venkys won’t do. Just be careful with talk like that remember Tom Cairney not long ago ? We need to get through the window before the boasts and i told you so's start otherwise Nyambe leaving for an undisclosed couple of mill or so at the death leaves egg on faces. 1 Quote

We've thrown millions away on strikers in the last decade but spent very little on defenders. Dann was probably the last one to command a decent fee, and even that was lower than reported. No offence but your posts read like a spokesman from the club's PR team. What he said they will NOT be paying transfer fees for a goalie and defender as they haven’t before, just saying it looks like this time they are. Not too difficult is it, and why the hell do my posts look like a spokesman for the PR team, folk can agree with the club sometimes and not always slagging the club off whatever they do. Quote
unleaded Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Just His agent doing his job .. why wouldn’t he ... He’s been touting him in Turkey & Germany but Kipre wants to stay here ... Straight Transfers are hard these days in the world of online & Twitter ... He will do what’s best for him & his client .surprised he’s one of the last ones out the Wigan door to be fair ....Rovers should have kept it under wraps .... but then we would say no communication from them ... no win situation 2 Quote

RovingRover Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 So Alan Nixon who didn't know Rovers were interested Kipré until it was confirmed by Richard Sharpe suddenly knows certain that West Brom want him. Yeah. I'm convinced. 6 Quote

He blocked me when I wasn't even winding him up. He tweeted the Sunderland takeover had fallen through and literally within a few hours it was announced as completed, so I commented that he needed new sources in the north east. Quote
ChickenBolty Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8670711/West-Brom-make-approach-Wigan-centre-Cedric-Kipre.html Daily Mail reporting it now. Not exactly credible. However, thought I'd share. Quote
Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Lets hope we keep Ford Kipre out of the clutches of WBA. Quote
rovers11 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Well, that didn't last long. Kipre is off to WBA. Quote

TruRover Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Sky have just reported that west Brom are closing in on him. Claims that the lure of prem football has beaten off other competitors. however Sharpe, despite confirming the West Brom interest, seems to believe there is still a chance. Can’t see it though Edited August 27, 2020 by TruRover Quote

tomphil Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Always a long shot, hopefully plan B is somebody worthwhile. Quote
davulsukur Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Onto the back up plan. Sharpe said we were working on another deal but I haven't seen any links to anyone. Quote

JHRover Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 26 minutes ago, unsall said: Yeah seen Mr Nixon’s comments difficult to compete against if true, anyway all I said is what you’ve always said we don’t invest in defenders with paying a transfer fee regardless of how we find it, just hoping they have finally decided we need to buy permanent defenders. Me too. But I'll award credit when it actually happens and people are in the building, not when we are linked with people or try to sign them unsuccessfully. 1 Quote
Angry_Pirate Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) If true.... that's another example of why you shouldn't wait 35 days into a transfer window to bid for the players you want. Sometimes you don't have to be best looking girl at the bar, sometime you just happen to be the only girl at the bar... the closer you get to the end of a transfer window, the busier that bar gets. ... Rovers are pretty ugly. Edited August 27, 2020 by Angry_Pirate 2 Quote
AdamRochina Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Kipre was never going to happen was it.. the second a prem team hears we were close to a bargain deal they would swoop in. He's a good defender who will be worth probably ten times what he is now in two years or so Quote

Sharpe said we were working on another deal but I haven't seen any links to anyone. we need two. My understanding was that it was Kipre and someone else, not someone else as a backup if Kipre didn't happen 1 Quote
