bubblerrovers Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hey Nicko, assuming there will be no take over at the club do you have any idea what the transfer kitty could be this summer, i hope the board are not just guna use the money from a possible bentley transfer.

I think there is around £10 million to work with - before sales. I don't know if that includes wages, but it's a rough give-or-take-a-few-bob figure.
grizfoot Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 BBC Gossip Column: Chelsea are poised to ditch Nicolas Anelka and set up the ninth transfer of his career. (Sunday Mirror) Now he'd be a terrific signing, after all he did use to play for Notlob don't really see why Chelsea would let him go after all didn't Grant say they'd signed him for next season or something along thoose lines

herbergeehh Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Giles Barnes to Rovers (Teamtalk) - old story rehashed, right? Out till October too..
rover6 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 What's this in teh News of teh Screws about Derby wanting Steve McClaren as manager? Have they got a death wish or something? UEFA cup final, FA Cup semis, League cup....... He's a bad manager but his record still puts some other more respected boss' to shame. Not any more of a death wish than a club that ever decides it wants Souness in charge, in my humble opinion.
nicko Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Why are Chelsea interested in selling at all? I'm not saying they are interested in selling...but with Anelka you never know for sure what is round the corner.
nicko Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Giles Barnes to Rovers (Teamtalk) - old story rehashed, right? Out till October too.. It's just 100 per cent wrong.
tcj_jones Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hey guys, I haven't been able to follow this thread for a few days now. Could somebody just quickly sum up what's been discussed because I don't have the time to wade through the posts at the moment.
Hasta Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Giles Barnes to Rovers (Teamtalk) - old story rehashed, right? Out till October too.. It's just 100 per cent wrong. Don't know how much Derby would want but he's the only player they've got I'd be interested in. Derby would obviously sell. He's young, English, got potential and is a midfielder. The teamtalk link
Baggio Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Middlesbrough want Milner now don't they? Maybe Villa aren't going for him anymore. Heard disturbing rumours of Sidwell and Justin Hoyte, wouldn't mind Villa signing either but it's the huge price tag next to both in the newspaper that got me...I read 7m for Sidwell, I was thinking around the 4m mark...surely ######. Maybe if Villa don't bid for Milner and it's just Boro, Blackburn might make a bid for him. I remember his loan spell for us, don't listen to what Geordies say about him...he's a great player. Being a season ticket holder at SJP I can tell you Milner really is average and has been for us since he walked through the door, he's got no pace and his crossing ability is worse than Pennants, I can only remember him getting one assist from a cross all season and that was Martins goal against Bolton, an acrobatic overhead kick as the cross came in behind him. Don't get me started on him slowing the game down either by trying to beat the same man 3 or 4 times because he's too slow to pull away from him with the ball.
bluebruce Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hope he does move, that 'performance' at Birmingham did it for me and I had been praising him before that. Gods we're a fickle bunch
roversmum Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Memory problems I think! He had done so well for a few matches I had forgotten his previous record!
bluebruce Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Memory problems I think! He had done so well for a few matches I had forgotten his previous record! But back against him after one bad game?
philipl Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 McLaren reported by the Times to be the new Manager of FC Twente in Holland. They must have come into some money then.
Baggio Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Arsenal want Santa Cruz if Adebayor leaves. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle3958825.ece
USABlue Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Arsenal want Santa Cruz if Adebayor leaves. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle3958825.ece More mischief making, hopefully our other player with his head turned by these sort of reports can tell him just how crappy it is to be at Arsenal
Jason Rover Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 nicko , whats the news with dean ashton ? is he gonna leave west ham ? whos in for him ? always fancied him as the new shearer (cant see us being in for a striker tho).... not yet anyway
LeftWinger Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 nicko , whats the news with dean ashton ? is he gonna leave west ham ? whos in for him ? always fancied him as the new shearer (cant see us being in for a striker tho).... not yet anyway Not in Shearers class! More disturbing was that Pompey are to offer Kewell 50k a week!!!!!! Disgusting if true!
PAFELL Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Certainly not a first-choice replacement...or any word of a need for a new reserve either. And, on behalf of those who backed Pompey ht-ft yesterday, my thanks to Peter Enckelman. I was at the match on a complimentary ticket - Wembley is a disappointment, especially if you need the loo. £10.00 programme - pie an a pint £7.00 What comments have you heard about wembley Nicko?
Big Archie Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Nicko have you heard anything about Spurs talking to Gomis or Newcastle being interested in Mario Gomez?
nicko Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 ROQUE - Strange story, you have to hope it is not right. If Arsenal came in that would be a dilemma. ASHTON - Too many fitness problems. If he is worth £15 million Roque must be in the £30 million class. GOMIS - Newcastle and Bolton from what I heard...Spurs might have jumped in too. But at £17 million it might be a bit rich for all concerned. GOMEZ - No idea. WEMBLEY PRICES - Not a clue - hear the traffic is still as bad.
Russ Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Nicko, any idea what Jefferson Farfan's situation is at the moment? I seem to remember a while ago him say he was waiting for a club to come in for him, and that he'd be willing to buy his contract out for the right move. Do you know who's interested and subsequently how much he's likely to cost?? Ta
