[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[Cocker]

Working on it...if you find a market let me know.

Will name the two leading candidates in the morning. Not before.

And Souey is not one of them from what I hear. Certainly not at the moment.

Well

[nicko]

Well

That meant you were supposed to buy the Mirror...

Obviously not crossed the sea yet!

Alex McLeish and Stuart Pearce would be the main names on the top of the list. However do NOT bet on either as Wigan do not know if they fancy the job. They are both obviously in work right now.

That's why my advice was to leave this market alone.

However I would have a sly fiver on Curbishley being the next manager to go...

No more than that, mind.

[EwoodGlory]

Stuart Pearce and Alec Mcleish are the 2 mentioned in the Mirror

[Dingle Basher]

The Sun is claiming that Derby are going to make a bid to sign Huddlestone in January, any truth Nicko?

I can't see Spurs letting him go on loan next time. If he leaves it will be for money. I don't think Derby have that kind of cash and the player would not want to go to a club heading for relegation.

From what I hear the Rovers interest is not as big as it was a couple of months ago.

Plenty of time to find somebody better...

He's 28-1 on betfair according to odds checker - but can't find it on the site.

Ha Ha, yeah your right. I cant wait to get the paper next week because from what I hear Tim Sherwood will be on the back lifting the Premiership trophy for us.

Also, I think its the last edition of the Today paper - how sad

i do hope rovers are interested in huddlestone..he's only young and has plenty of time to develop, his passing is quality aswell.

is there any other positions we are looking to strengthn that you know off??

also any players who rovers are willing to leave or go out on loan come january???

Just the usual favourites - a right back [preferably youngish] and a midfield player who can pass and eventually take over from Tugay.

If you get two good ones it would make a big difference.

The only worry is cover in some areas of the squad. But when you look at Man City last night there is no way they are a better team...

Unfortunately I was at a meeting out of town last night and did not get the results. Anyone care to oblige?

Man City 1 Sunderland 0. A game that defined the cliche 'damp squib.'

[Dunnfc]

West Ham captain Lucas Neill wants the club to raise his salary just 10 months after joining them. (Mirror) lol

Nicko any truth in this?

Not my story, but I believe it may be correct.

[rovers_rob]

Its being reported on setanta web site that reidy has been called up to the Ireland squad. I can't believe that after 1 reserve game that he is ready.

nicko, do you know how many games he has had in last couple of weeks ? I can't imagine Hughes giving his blessing for this call up.

[ffan]

rumours going round that ledley king has to retire

shed any light on this nicko?

[EwoodGlory]

The ledley king one has been doing the rounds for over a year now.

Sad if true, he's a very good player

Jesus, no way...didn't he apparently go there for a ridiculous 60-70k a week? And he's been injured quite a bit.

[tcj_jones]

Those figures were ridiculusly over-exaggerated. The figure was closer to 35k.

[thenodrog]

So why didn't he go to Lpool then? From the Riise thread 35k appears to be the going rate for full backs at Anfield.

Which is what makes it so darn annoying that they are in the position they are in the league

A point made by many including myself after the City match. God only knows why we were hanging on for a 1-0 win when we should have been home and dry by half time.

[budha]

I guess that 35k was taken from the Egg's statement that "nobody at West Ham earns more than 35k / wk". Now Ljungberg, Bellamy etc have arrived and certainly not on under 35k, I guess Lucash wants parity with them.

[philipl]

He was on £28k at Ewood and certainly was offered £40k++ at Liverpool. That was why he signed for Liverpool rather than West Ham- obvious when you think about it.
