BuckyRover Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I didn't believe that we would sign anyone. Hope was almost gone

Kamy100 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 The player I was talking about is Simon Vukcevic. I thought that it would make everyone happy because he is far superior to other players we have in that position, have watched him for a number of years and he will do really well for us, apologies if this signing doesn't excite you but certainly excites me because he will turn out to be a really good signing for us. We are also in for a striker, I have a name but am not going to speculate about who it is until I have it confirmed, the striker is also due to have a medical within next 24 hours or so. On a very busy day at Ewood, the search for defensive reinforcements is ongoing, Bocanegra was looked at but he decided to go to Rangers. Wilson is expected to join, Boyatta is a possibility, Kean is expecting at least one defender to arrive before Villa game. It's all systems go at Ewood, the above will not be the end of the signings, more players are expected to arrive. Still no further bids for Samba.

Do you for see anything stopping us from getting Simons signature now?
BuckyRover Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 It is great news. I can hardly believe it. My faith was certainly being tested. It's not yet been fully restored but I can at least see that we haven't been abandoned.
ultrablue Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 My faith will be restored when they actually step out on the field wearing the blue n white halves. I've well and truly given up listening to speculation, however informed it may be. I get my transfer news from the BBC now. It's the only way to stay sane!
Gogger Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Great news! Hopefully I will wake up to a new signing!
imy9 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Where will Vucinic play? Left wing, right wing? Will be interesting to see. Lots of names but won't be happy til they sign. Have always said wait til 1st Sept and looking as if the new structure at Ewood is beginning to work.

Don't worry about it Kamy as one or two have mentioned barely anyone bar Messi would receive unqualified approval such is the prevailing mood on here at the moment. Sign a good midfielder? Bah! Humbug! We need a defender! No doubt if we sign a half decent defender the cry will be Bah! Humbug! We need an out and out striker! For what it's worth if Samba stays I don't think the need for a centre back is that critical as Nelsen will presumably soon be available for selection as will Givet (assuming he isn't going to cry off sick every week at the 11th hour) with Hanley as 4th choice. If the three or four players mentioned on this thread do arrive then theoretically the squad should be considerably stronger than last season as we've only lost one player (Phil Jones) off the permanent staff who contributed anything really worthwhile and Steve Kean will have no excuses whatsoever not to deliver a reasonable finish if he has anything about him at all.
MrMiyagi Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 guys what's happened to Curtis Davies? Was on fire a couple of years ago now out of sight...worth bringing in since we need CB desperately?

Iceman Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Who is Wilson? Liverpool defender, Scottish International. While not a big name, he did look very good in his last game for Scotland. Simon V is a terrific player, will probably play on either wing. I hope we get Boyata, very good player. If we keep Samba, then happy days, however, I have a feeling Samba might still leave Robinson Boyata/Onouha Samba Wilson Givet Vucevic Petrovic Nzonzi Olsson Hoilett Cisse/Raul /Ibisevic

Need to fit formica in there somewhere.
Tricky Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 we dont need nzonzi when we have petrovic so he can fit in there... i was gonna suggest... ........Robinson Salgado Samba Nelsen Givet .........Petrovic ....Formica... Vukcevic Hoillet............Olsson ........Goodwillie but based on so far?

Nelsta Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Wow, great to wake up today and think we could have 4 new signings later, Barring the striker being top class I think I may get vucevic on the back of the shirt.
Majiball Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 So it's not lionel Messi? Gutted I'm going back to bed.
RoverPedro Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I accidently woke up early. Got excited when i remembered that we were meant to be signing someone. Then realised the player had already been mentioned by cryer on telegraph lastnight amd now i cant get back to sleep on my day off. Gutted!! Good player though. Interested to see who the striker is though
Iceman Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 why people miss Formica?? I suppose you could move Olsson to left Back, and then move Vucevic to left wing, and Junior to the right. Robbo Onouha/Boyata Samba Wilson Olsson Hoilett Nzonzi Petrovic Vucevic Formica New Striker
The Rover of Finland Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Would we have an option to buy Boyata and Wilson? Other wise I see no point. Vukcevic is a great signing. Hope the striker will be too.
Ricky Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 TRIF, so I guess you saw no point in Bolton having sturridge for half a season.
The Rover of Finland Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 TRIF, so I guess you saw no point in Bolton having sturridge for half a season. If for example Boyata proves to be good it really annoys see him going back or to another club. J.Jones is more like one to compare. Always nice to have a chance to buy. Hope the club learnt that.
Alan75 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 All the talk of midfield and strikers signings covers up our major worry. If we dont sort out Samba and defencive options we are in big trouble.
