[Archived] Sam's January Targets

[Majiball]

Without doubt, but rangers need cash and we need a left winger, he can also play in the hole and up-front.

What can I say I'm scottish and I'd love a Jock in our team again and he looks a serious talent.

Its a pipe dream though.

[Guest Kamy100]

According to this morning's Lancashire Telegraph, Sam is looking at targets closer to home, the rules for squads change next year, have to have a certain amount og "home grown" players etc, so this January that is a big factor when making decisions on what players to bring in.

Oh no. That means Heskey. I will be extremely dissapointed if Heskey ends up at Rovers.

[Hughesy]

Reo-coker fits that bill.

Hope we steer clear of Shorey as a specialist left back too!

Fair do's on Shorey, I still feel we need to shift a right back out and get a left back in, he's english as well.

I wonder whether we could get Coker on loan? till the summer I think he'd do well in our current system.

There goes any chance of getting Adam Johnson.

Chelsea, loan back offer

Maji, possibly, but Reo Coker is a sulker, would his attitude be right, The lad Snodgrass at Leeds is impressing me at the moment though, definately one to watch!!

Adam Johnson has turned down a 800% pay rise to 20k a week.

If we shifted out Benni for Heskey id think i would loose what little faith i had in the clubs good judgement.

Heskey - big, strong, powerful - is an Allardyce player.

Benni - skillful, talented, mercurial - is not.

If this "1-in-1-out" happens it's an excellent example of the "poison" that Allardyce is infecting the club with. I don't want to see players like Heskey in a Rovers kit - I want to see players like Benni McCarthy.

Nicko, any news for us? Is Meriem still on board? Does Sam´s condition effect our scouting? Is there any progress about Di Santo´s future?

[blue and whites]

think we should try to sign johnson from man city! playing tonight against our reserves. still young and a great talent, but don't think he has a future there. wonder how much he would cost..

[Tom]

Problem is he looks like he may have eaten Robinho and drank a few too many kegs

[mellison24]

he also has the same problems as Dunn regarding his skeletal structure not suiting his job as a footballer. However, Big Sam seems to have sorted Dunny out....

Was there not something more 'sinister' with Johnson, I thought he had some demons.

I'd heard that...... didn't his demons keep selling him drugs or am I thinking of somebody else?

[mellison24]

Indeed, there was a photo of him with the reddened cheeks of alcoholism. He seems to be over it now, mind.

We're after Honduras defender Chavez according to this report, along with Celtic:

Honduras Full Back

It says he's been training with us, so apologies if I've missed anything before. If it is true, surely the guy has to be a left back? Anyone seen him play before?

[Steve Moss]

I believe Osman Chavez is a center back

[Bobby G]

He is a full back I think. Would be interesting to see why we are considering a full back. Dont we have enough of them already?

[Oklahoma]

Is Ryan Babel any good?

He wants to leave in January, if he doesn't play more often.

Maybe we could get him on loan...

[joey_big_nose]

He is a full back I think. Would be interesting to see why we are considering a full back. Dont we have enough of them already?

We have too many right backs. We have no left backs. So I would take a left back.

What are we going to do with Salgado? Get him to wash the kit? We'll be loaning him to QPR soon...

[G Somerset Rover]

The funny thing is Salgado has looked better each time I have seen him. The problem for him is that Chimbonda is playing out of his skin at the moment and Jacobsen has hardly put a foot wrong. I can't see how he's going to get a chance unless he plays left back or centre mid.

[Bobby G]

No pace though. Cant see him making it. He wouldve played more if Sam thought otherwise.

Meriem - due back in a couple of weeks when fit.

Ibricic - hear he was watched but the reports were lukewarm.

Elm - seems happy to be at AZ Alkmaar...all the best.

Big Sam - don't think his lay-off is a handicap to any signing bids.

The Di Santo question is the first that needs to be answered. If he signs, great. If he isn't coming you have to get a striker fast.

if Di Santo does not sign on for longer in January, i don't think we need to go out and panic buy, by try bringing a forward in. We have still got Benni, Roberts and Kalinic at the club, which most clubs in the prem would like to have. If either Benni or Roberts leave in January, then i think we might need another forward.
