Mr. E Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 So I guess the third option is that Venkys themselves are lying and making themselves look like clowns. The phrase" publicity stunt" gets used often, but I don't see how in any way shape or form the fact that Venkys will have proven themselves to be liars would generate a positive interest towards their company. Who is the individual that is going to go "Hmm well Venkys made a bit for Ronalhinho, but then they said that was total rubbish, and then it turned out they were lying once more...what a great company, let me go buy their products!" ?

Valois Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Why say we would increase the offer if needed though? Naive. You wouldnt do that in any business, let alone football. And these guys are supposed to be business people. Thats what I said earlier, can not understand that at all. Slightly worrying, but maybe they just have more money than sense and dont care. I believe they are used to throwing as much money as it takes to get what they want.
LeftWinger Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 OFF TOPIC: I can't stand the complete lack of repsect our club recieves left right and centre. Ray Parlour giving it the whole "he's past it and it's a complete joke" etc. Zidane went to Real Madrid at a similar time in his career? So too did Figo. I think it would be the greatest (biggest) signing in the history of the club. Exactly. He's only 30, and he was sensational last season. He'd be a fantastic signing. Parlour is a (naughty wordy) anyway.
DavidMailsTightPerm Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 People laughed at City and they managed to get Kaka into Manchester for talks. I dread the way we will be talked about at the end of this saga. Cause lets be honest, its a long-shot. Probably 100-1 that he would come here. I have to agree - it is a very long shot that we could get him - but wow what a signal of intent it would be. Not been as excited about a transfer window since the early Jack Walker EPL days. Lets hope it doesn't turn out to be a let down - pointless having a player like Ronnie without a decent defensive midfield player. At least we now know why the senior players received the Venky "plans" with enthusiasm.
XLM Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 What would Fat Sam do with Ronnie if he was still in charge? Does he do long throw ins?
Oklahoma Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Gremio is having a hard time getting the money to pay him. inicially, they were close to get him but now Flamengo and Palmeiras are closer to get him

Valois Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I wouldn't have thought Juve could pay him what we're reportedly going to. Gremino sounds the best bet to me, pull of his homeland and home town team, no brainer, or is it. That was referring to Juve bidding for Ivan Rakitic, not Ronnie.
JMillZz Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Why say we would increase the offer if needed though? Naive. You wouldnt do that in any business, let alone football. And these guys are supposed to be business people. My take on it is this "bid" is the contract offer. They wouldn't be stupid enough to announce they'd pay more for Ron but do I think they'd let Ron know they'll do anything to sign him including more money? Yes. I know it's wacky though.

I just emailed TS to ask why they have been championing Beckham to Spurs all day to then go and call our bid for Ronnie as "ridiculous"...I'm not holding my breath for a reply.
BPF Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks. Very interesting stuff on there If that is a fake page, they are going to an awful lot of effort to post tweets in two different languages. I hope this little episode has taught you all a valuable lesson. Nicko knows what he is talking about. I'm confident that you can disregard anything the LET say, unless they hire me . On Sunday night I was told that if anything goes wrong then there will be a denial. I find it very interesting that after talks in Brazil, Venkys are suddenly happy to discuss the story again... Watch this space.
S15 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 How come nobody is slagging off the new owners anymore?

Bobby G Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 By the way, for anyone who thinks Ronnie is past it. He had 16 goals and about 20 assists last season.
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 OFF TOPIC: I can't stand the complete lack of repsect our club recieves left right and centre. We should ALL be used to it by now Toogs.....we should 'know our place' in their tiny minds. I doubt it will happen but would love to see the faces of the Rovers knockers if it did.
BPF Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 How come nobody is slagging off the new owners anymore? It's been a great piece of PR right? They must have released that Rovers' fans base their entire opinions on whatever happened last.
True Blue & White Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 How come nobody is slagging off the new owners anymore? Because this is the transfer thread maybe?

True Blue & White Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 OK, they just read out my email on TS. Well part of it..not mentioned Beckham but did apologise for using the word "ridiculous", I feel quite proud of myself. Ray Parlour back-tracking now...
S15 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Because this is the transfer thread maybe? And you obviously haven't read many pages of it...

thenodrog Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Adams and Mr.Ronaldinho would certainly add the creativity required! God please make the latter happen. Are you completely insane? Ronaldinho makes Benny Mac look slim and a non stop box to box player. Surely it's obvious that our priority is for a defensive midfielder first? Ronaldinho is just another global name to follow those of Maradona and Beckham that provides something else for the sacred cow to swank about. It's so embarrassing. Our club is being dragged through the mud and subjected to widespread ridicule good and proper.

Oh come on Gord, the thought of Ronaldinho in Blue and White halves is exciting though isn't it? 30 years old and judging by the stats he is yet to have a bad season at the top of European football.
