[Archived] Summer 2011 Transfer Window Part One

[McClarky]

Carlton Cole, you gotta be kidding! Completely overrated - ever so slightly better scoring record than our Jase and he'd cost a fortune!

Cole is 1 of those players who someone will spend £8M on this summer and he'll do absolutely nowt. Almways looks 1/2 fit to me and scores at a similar rate to Roberts I would think. Hope this someone isn't us, typial Sunderland signing.

Some half decent young British clients on their books:

My link

They had Henderson until his dad got his head turned. Another 20 mill. Ouch.

[SergioPeter89]

Can`t really believe that Warnock has not been linked to us more, considering his an SEM/Kentaro client.

[roversfan99]

If Bolton are willing to bid £5m for Thiago, I would 100% try to get him here, he will become a star.

[Eddie]

Maybe that is because the papers realised that we aren't exclusively chasing SEM and Kentaro clients?

Absolutely not chance Bolton will get him.

Surely he would cost more than 5mill?? Great vision and really quick feet. looks a future star alright.. wouldn't mind having him at rovers!

[Kenwoo]

I thought he was either part of Barca's plans or going to Arsenal as part of the Fabregas deal.

[slough_rover]

Thiago, 5 million? F@@K off. No chance.

One day I will tell you the full story...

Today is not that day.

Today is not that day.

Ha ha so that means OC will get him for 5 million!

[Bobby G]

Thiago is destined for much bigger things than Bolton and even with Barcelona's buy back clause 5m seems naive unless its a loan like move, even then indent believe it.

[roversfan99]

I was surprised when Bolton were linked if I'm honest, I've seen him and he's like a young Xavi or Iniesta. Very highly regarded at Barca.

i believe Venkys want to sign this Brazilian star:

Why do you think this? Fab on FM

[leerovers1980]

after watching the under 21's game if phil jones is going to man united for 20 mill, tiago is worth double that, the stand out player on the pitch

[thenodrog]

Isn't it a bit rich as he has taken the club down while the board club stood by him for McCleish then to walk to Villa? Also there must be compensation issues attached to that...

You are a little eager to criticise jbn.

1. Maybe his contract remuneration is only if Brum stay in the Prem and there will be a reduction in should the club be relegated. It's common in players contracts.

2. I seem to recall that it's been reported that he and Yeung haven't enjoyed the best working relationship since the club was taken over.

3. The club is supposed to be skint and unprepared for relegation. If that is the case then a return to the Prem is unlikely.

[Tooogs]

I'd be waving £10-12m at Barca for Thiago. He looks a real player. The way he carresses the ball reminds me of Xavi and Iniesta. Very slight and can pick a pass like nobody else in our side. Surely Rochina could help out!

[pick32]

Well Barcelona are willing to let him or Borjan depart. Lets make a double bid.

[Exiled in Toronto]

I agree with this guy in the telegraph I already can't wait for the transfer window to 'slam shut' as though someone had left the front door wide open.

[Roversi]

i doubt barca would really want to let him leave, however if they end up signing Febregas or Sanchez, i think they and the player would look for a move.

on Vagner Love, he would be a top signing, player with real quality.

[Mercer]

Speculation is that he has an ankle problem similar to Ashton's and he needs to be 'nursed' through - that's why you rarely see him play 2 games a week.

Hearing that all targets are being kept under lock and key....

Whether that is true or it's just that we don't have any except for RSC, remains to be seen.

Are your guys still saying RSC is imminent?

I wouldn't mind him for £2-3m but no more.

I've been told that at the start of the season:

Samba will play for Arsenal

Santa Cruz will be our player.
