Has been confirmed we have lodged our bid with Schalke this afternoon.
Phenomenal player of course, but he is fairly old now. Still think he has the ability to help players like Hoilett, Formica and Goodwillie.
Would also be a step up from Benjani and Kalinic
Raul

The new report I have heard is that Shalke are blocking a move, not that Raul has turned down a move, although he may still do that.

I know it's against the grain to defend a neighbour, but why can't Raul join you? Similar size to us, and we where good enough for Fernando Hierro, Djorkaeff, JJ etc...
People forget Salgado was a very well respected player at Madrid, so why not Raul? Course it will cost, they always do... But the price of that kind of experience is always welcome to a squad surly?
Anyway, just my opinion.

Pie, SKL and OOJW just want to officially announce that I'm annoyed at Steve Kean

why, did he refuse to swallow last night?

No, he always swallows for mcteeth.
I'm just a bit hacked off with the transfer window.

You're lucky he didn't fancy you - he would have been expensive, wouldn't have lasted five minutes and would have little impact in your fight against relegation.
Oh, hang on, sign him up.....

McT - I think they would wish it worked the other way and you could be the one laughing at them - ie that we'd achieved lots of good signings. Rumours for Iaquinta this morning.
Hmm to that is all I can say - would welcome him but cannot really put legs on this story.

Apparently Raul talked to Kean for just under 20 seconds and realised the bloke knew f--- alll about football management.

It took him that long? He must be a little slow on the uptake...

I am sometimes amazed at peoples views Pea,everyone can see its going erse up at Ewood and we are all rovers fans on here,we all want whats best for our club.This is a board to air ones views and facts and points.Correct me if I am wrong.I also dont want no arguments with fellow rovers fans,if its a verbal fight that I need then I will just start a conversation with my missus and the rest will follow.
