[Archived] Matteo Signs

[greggyk]

DOM IS A ROVER!

[neophox]

Yes he's coming on a free transfer and has agreed a three year contract.

[neophox]

Well now when he comes on a free maybe we casn go out and buy some young player for the future too.

[Cocker]

Fantastic - best signing since John Stead

Really made up

[broadsword]

So that's Dickov for £150,000, de Pedro for nothing and Matteo for nothing (but maybe some transfer budget will be used to pay his wages).

That's pretty good horse trading.

Now will someone PLEASE take Yorke off our hands. He's about as useful as an aertex johnny.

Nothing on Sky about it - shows how important we are

Well chuffed with this signing

Another player with good leadership qualities too and will lead by example.

Amo/Matteo/Fergie potentially rallying the troops next season can only be good news in my book.

[SouthAussieRover]

Good on you Kamy.

This may well prove to be one interesting signing.

[Blackpool_Rover]

Im happy!!!!! Some excellent business done by souness this summer. 150k spent. get in!

[bob fleming]

Well done again Kamy. Never far wrong when it comes to BRFC.

You've gotta be pleased with the transfers we've made (so far?) - Spanish International Left Winger, Top scorer for a Premier League Team last season and Captain of a Premier League Team last season. How much would that lot have cost 12 months ago? Anyway - £150,000 can't be bad.

Of course there are these guys wages to consider which means that the term "free" doesn't exactly count for much these days when it comes to transfers but personally I think the club's done really well.

If Mr Yorke would just do one - who know's? there might be a couple of quid left over for another signing.

[Parasyte]

Great stuff. Amo and Matteo at the back, with Nisse, Jay and Short for backup.

[Hughesy]

Great news. Really pleased

[AussieinUk]

Kamy...bang on! nice one

Good news for Rovers... Think this could be a great season for us...

Now Mr Yorke... kindly **** off!!!

[Jolly Giraffe]

Excellent news, I can't wait for next season to start now.

[Blueboy Downunder]

this will be a good signing for us hopefully!

a bit of solidness to the defence now.

Good news. I'm really beginning to look forward to the new season now.

[Parasyte]

Solidness, solidity - whats the difference

But yeah, I agree. Someone who can partner Amo, who isnt actually one of the few people in the country who is slower than him, like Craig Short.

[RevidgeBlue]

Good signing on a free, at the £1.5m quoted in the National press it would have been overpriced given Leeds situation, his age and injury record.

[vinny]

how much did souey have to spend this summer, i can remember hearing £4 million. if this is true then we should still have that left to spend on 1 player. which could buy us a very good player or even wages for someone on a free. (jimmy floyd ???)

I'd rather see Matteo and Short.

If only.....

[broadsword]

I'd rather see Matteo and Short.

Any two from Amoruso, Matteo and Shorto would do me fine.

[FourLaneBlue]

Can't really complain when on a free. Hopefully another decent addition to the squad and I don't really see anywhere that needs strengthening. Maybe a reserve right back? Unless Douglas or Emerton can fill in there...

Does anyone know if it's being said or has been said whether this is likely to be the last signing of the summer?

Great signing. He is just what we need at the back, great business by the club.
