Jumped on the new 606!!!
Just a quick one to add to the 2 threads so far.....
With Samba transfer being in the papers a lot this week, can we afford to lose him? £12 mil to Arsenal a common choice but after a very consistent season, and the West Ham game in particular, i think he is worth more than £12m to an Arsenal team that is desperate for consistency! If we have a bit of a transfer kitty then the only reason we would sell him is if he wanted to leave!!
Providing there are no shock results on Sunday we are safe (maybe i am being overly confident) so must have an eye on next year and who we are bringing in!
Players needed;
Right back -
Creative midfielder -
Goal scorer -
And also getting rid of some of the deadwood!
I welcome any targets or if anyone has heard of rumours of summer targets......roll on the summer transfer window!!!
Good to have a new home....
Any rumblings of summer transfers?

Gerald the drunk hamster won it for me Zaphod so DEAL!
On a more serious note though, I'm sure you're quite right if Nicklas is given a decent run in the team but even we're not affording players such luxuries right now. Take Kalanic for example. A player of ample potential and getting zero game time despite being fit and available to play. It's nonsense.
How long before they start advertising on this website anyway? Surely whoever has made it isn't forking out from the goodness of their heart to pay for it all.

Keith Andrews has got to go because the Blackburn end have no respect for the lad. Samba wanted to go after Allardyce left so no change there. Think we should go in for
Scholes ?

"Think we should go in for Scholes ?"
I would love to watch Paul Scholes playing in a Rovers shirt, but cannot see it happening as I think he will want top remain a one club player.
What an amazing player he has been and one of my all time PL favourites. The number of times he has scored and hurt us in matches over his career is testimony to his abilities.
Scholes in a Tugay role for a season or two would certainly do for me and it would be good to have some proven quality, winning mentality and CL experience at the club to firstly oversee the playing style changes anticipated by the new owners and to also help our younger players develope and grow.

Absolutely no link to Scholes and I hope it stays that way.
One thing is for sure it will be more interesting than last summer regarding transfers at least.

Yeh, especially if we are in the Championship. In fact it has been much more interesting ever since we got lumbered with the Venky's, just less successful and enjoyable.

certainly LESS successful and LESS enjoyable. Would not have seen Sam having the defenders kick about anongst themselves to earn a useless (?) draw

Samba £15m or £25m plus Bentdner
Scholes would get 84 red cards a season for us...
And Vinjay has a point, I used to watch with interest whether our well run club could again profit on a turkey and snap up a bargain. The resultant top half finish was all the more satisfying.
This year we can look forward to being linked with every player that was decent five years ago, lied to by our owners and purchasing nobodies resulting in another delegation battle...
Ahhh progress!
