Raul

[chris]

THAT GOAL HE SCORED IS NOT GOINGTO MAKE HIM CHEAPER, MAYBE THEY WERE HOPING THE FALL OUT WOULD LEAD TO HIM BRING ON THE BENCH, BUT NO SUCH LUCK.

dam caps lock sorry

Just a thought....

If Schalke are meeting Raul today to discuss the move, doesn't that mean that the bid has been accepted?

Schalke's sporting director Heldt just confirmed to the media that Raul definitely wants to leave. #BRFC (via @Jens1893)

[BiggusLaddus]

Perhaps not accepted, but certainly not rejected out of hand, so it must be somewhere close to their valuation.

[Nelsta]

The cynic in me now, Are Venkys putting in a bid to appease the fans safe in the knowledge they cant afford his wages.Thus if talks breakdown over that they can turn around and say we tried but it's his fault.

Heldt: "There's no sense in trying to keep a player at Schalke who isn't happy any more."

Schalke statement: Offer for Raul from #BRFC arrived yesterday. S04 willing to negotiate, if he wants to leave. Decision until tmrw 1pm CET.

so how does Kean sell Blackburn to Raul?

We just lost at home to relegation rivals, and we didn't have a CB.

Fancy a bit of a scrap?

Raul would walk all over Kean too, Raul has a bad game, he plays and where he wants.

[Bob Dewhurst]

Bloody hell I'm excited!! It's difficult not to get carried away!

I think the only person who could persuade him to move here is Salgado

Does this also go for Jermaine Jones? Pretty please.

I don't think there is much of a secret tht there are stronger characters in the dressing room than Steve Kean and that they saved our bacon at the end of last season.

[Bob Dewhurst]

Just a little Neal! Hope we get him! He could play up front with ooooooohhhhhhhhhh .........Jason Roberts!!!!!

[Presty On Tour]

If they could afford to pay Roque 90k a week, after the Jones Sale Venkeys must be able to afford £100k a week.

[goodwillie_style]

there no better player for goodwillie to learn from, raul is what we need right now to give the fans and the club a huge boost

It's great that even when news like this leaks out some members of rentamob are still able to find an opportunity to smack Kean Where as, I'm so excited I might wee!

Philipl.....our very own Vicky Pollard. Yerbutnobutrightbut...Shut up!

He wanted more than 100k a few weeks ago, much more.

Mixed emotions on this: going to the Schalke-game at Thursday and was anxious to see Raul, but if he's really coming to Rovers, then I guess it's ok. Worst case scenario is that we're just being used to force Malaga to make their move and I don't see Raul and he moves to Malaga.

[67splitscreen]

Not one of the current bids on the table that Kean was talking about according to glen9mullen, Balaji digging deeper than he first thought necessary?.

[Nelsta]

2 names just popped in my head, Dino Baggio and ossie ardilles.....please Raul, if you grace us with your presence don't be like them!

Ardiles was quality, not his fault that Nicky Marker bludgeoned him against Plymouth

Dino Baggio was hardly the world name that Raul is!

As for Ardilles I was too young to see him, but he raised the profile, much like Raul will do if he arrives.

I was there when he scored!

[Nelsta]

Didn't Baggio score a consolation in a beating by leeds?

[OJRovers]

Yes D.Baggio scored away at Leeds, although I'd left early so missed our only positive from that terrible performance. I seem to remember us being on a decent run going into that game.
