Veevs Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/raul/blackburn-macht-angebot-19426334.bild.html Schalke superstar Raúl (34) is about to depart for England. The Premier League club Blackburn Rovers make an offer to the Spaniards. This was confirmed by Schalke manager Horst Heldt (41) compared to BILD.de Heldt: "We have yesterday (Monday the editor) an official request from Blackburn Rovers received by mail. Then we have taken with his advisor. We will meet today with Raul and his advisor and talk about it. Actually, we want to give him, but when he tells us that he wants to go, we will deal with it and enter into negotiations. There will be a timely decision in this matter and that no later than tomorrow, 13 clock. "Schalke then climbs onto the plane to Europe League play-off match in Helsinki. Even though they are the German version of the Sun there is def some credibility in this with the direct quote. Suprising and a half..
texasrover Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Don't care much WHO does it, I just want to see that little round shaped thing put in their net and kept out of ours. This Raul chap should help in one of those regards...
BPF Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Even though they are the German version of the Sun there is def some credibility in this with the direct quote. Suprising and a half.. If you go over to the Raul thread it has all been dismissed already. I don't know why I let myself get excited time after time, nothing ever happens.
Veevs Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 the bild are the official reporters for schalke and always been spot on even with the jones issue, they have denied it to me for months when questioned them about it, this is the first time they have admitted it might happen Well according to the article the mail (surely email) only arrived on Monday.. maybe the official bid just got lost in the post and took 2 1/2 weeks (since keens quote of having bids in) to arrive lol
chaddyrovers Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/raul/blackburn-macht-angebot-19426334.bild.html If we do sign him. he would be a great signing for us. Still would need a another striker aswell. Possibly on loan. I have and it sounds positive, BUT as this summer as consistently proved with Rovers being hopeful and having BIDS accepted are two completely different things. The name that I have heard a few times over the last week has been Miguel Torres of Gatefe. Maybe that is one that they are trying to push through. A very decent player but for me he wouldn't be a priority, we desperately need to get some players in with Premier League experience. Miguel Torres would a good signing for us because he can play in either full back positions. We need at least 5 signings now. hopefully 3 permanent deals and 2 loan deals. A full back, centre back, midfielder and 2 strikers for sure.
rog of the rovers Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Since the Venkys takeover. Nothing suprises me anymore. Thats not say its a bad thing, but they are so unpredictable! They could make zero signings between now and Sept or sign Raul and three others. You just never know.

Schalke will hold talks with the player this evening here what the article says Schalke striker Raul is being drained to Blackburn Rovers. The English club has in any case officially requested from the begun. A clear conversation between S04 and Raul will take place on Tuesday evening. On Saturday, Schalke star Raúl (34) inspired the fans with a magic door in a game against the 1. FC Köln (5: 1). Perhaps this was the last goal from Raul for the begun. For the English club of Blackburn Rovers will commit Raul and has requested so at FC Schalke 04 on Tuesday officially. This was confirmed by Schalke manager Horst Heldt compared to DerWesten. Schalke has informed Raul's consultant Gines Carvajal on the question. "We would like to not make Raul", Heldt, said "we have indicated that also his consultant by arrangement with our trainer." A conversation between Schalke 04 and Raul will take place on Tuesday. Thus, Heldt wants to know what Raul planning whether he could imagine a transfer to England. "I want a quick decision until departure for Finland," said Heldt to DerWesten. On Wednesday at 13: 00's go, start at 6.30 pm on Thursday the Europe League qualifier at HJK Helsinki. In the past few weeks, Raul's behavior was very irritated the Schalke. Raul had rejected including an election to the Council of the team, visited the training camp of the Spanish first division side Málaga CF, and consistently refused all interview requests. Schalke wants to know: what is behind this behavior? In the interview in the evening, Raul is therefore clearly committed to Schalke or inform that he sees his future in England. Raul has still a contract at Schalke until end of the season. After DerWesten information, Schalke Raul will provide definitely not on a free transfer. Raul should go it can be assumed that Schalke will commit even a new attacker
goodwillie_style Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Schalke_UK Schalke UK fan club If Raul does want to leave, Schalke will certainly demand a transfer fee and then buy a replacement striker.

King Kenny's Magic Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm not sure. On Twitter, Nicko does not believe we have any active interest in him. Come on BPF. Nicko isn't really in the loop rovers wise these days is he? I'm off to do some weights,I hope there's some positive news when i get back later!

A Tugay Substitution Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Come on BPF. Nicko isn't really in the loop rovers wise these days is he? I'm off to do some weights,I hope there's some positive news when i get back later! He's also not burning his bridges, saying we are after someone else but may go back to Raul if that doesn't work out.
Commondore Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Leicester linked with Beckford, would anyone have him as a squad striker? Decent pace, good in the air. I think he'd be a good option I can't see that, he's Evertons second choice as a striker and first choice Saha is constantly injured. If we are rummaging through the Everton squad, surely Yakubu would be the obvious choice? Alright, putting the glass-half-full hat on for a second - lets say we manage to sign M.Torres and Rodallega. Even then we'd still need a couple more at least, and with premier league experience. Make it so, owners! I can't see Wigan accepting a bid for Rodallega for a potential relegation rival such as us.

BPF Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm becoming increasingly excited by this. Dangerous.
chaddyrovers Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Raul was link this morning in the daily star http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/206386/Blackburn-Rovers-target-Raul/
imy9 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 As has been said already signing Raul would give the club and us the fans a MASSIVE boost, however it has not happened yet and we have been linked to over 100 names thus far. I want to see a striker and a defender signed ASAP before anything else.
Gav Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 wonder what kind of fee they would want? Zac mentioned 4m, we only wanted to pay 3m, but that was a few weeks ago. Massive wages also, but that may have changed.
jonv Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Forget Raul we need a team not an individual. The money could be well spent on more depressing areas of the pitch such as the gaping hole in our defence.
