Backroom Mike E Posted March 27, 2013 Backroom Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry to mods, if they'd rather start the official topic themselves. Just thought I'd ask, would people be open to signing Kevin Davies on a pay-as-you-play deal for a year or two? The guy could be good foil for Jordan Rhodes after all.

T.J.Newton Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ruben Rochina doing the business in spain, article says there's an option to buy clause in the loan deal(hope he doesn't leave for peanuts, if he does go) http://hereisthecity.com/2013/04/28/blackburn-rovers-misfit-scores-crucial-goal-in-la-liga-relegatio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would bring Rochina back. Then we should look at Sako and O´Hara at Wolves if they go down. Ebanks-Blake and Doyle is also out of contract at Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booth Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I would bring Rochina back. Then we should look at Sako and O´Hara at Wolves if they go down. Ebanks-Blake and Doyle is also out of contract at Wolves. Would be nice to partner Rhodes with Doyle as he's hard working and chips in with his own goals from time to time like Newell did with Speedie/Shearer. Sounds like he's off to Celtic though.

RockinRover Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 According to one of the newspapers this last week (not sure which one) we have over 60 professionals on the books including the loan signings. Definitely need to ship a lot of players out before the start of next season. If the squad rule is to have 25 players plus some U21 / Homegrown players then we shouldn't really have more than that. I'd be trying to ship out Robinson, Henrique, Givet (if he still wants to leave), Nunes, Pedersen, Murphy, Etuhu, Gomes (if not going to be used) and people like Bruno, Formica, Edinho, Jorge and a few of the youngsters who aren't going to make it. That leaves us with.. Goalkeepers: Kean, Usai - I'd get another one in to back up Kean. Right backs: Henley, Orr - Orr's not the best but as a back up he's fine. Left backs: Olsson, Morris Center backs: Dann, Hanley - Definitely our weakest area. Need at least three more good championship center backs. Midfielders: Dunn, Williamson, O'Sullivan, Rochina - Need midfielders who can go box to box and put a tackle in. Also need a lot more creativity. Right wingers: Bentley can't seem to stay fit, so he's not worth going after permanently. No more putting other players in this role though. We need out and out wingers. Left wingers: Markus - Definitely need a top quality left winger. Strikers: Rhodes, Best, Goodwillie - Definitely need a more powerful striker. Best hasn't quite been up to that role so far. Obviously that would mean a lot of chopping and changing, but I think we can all agree it needs doing. What we especially need is good british championship players as they're more eager to fight for a place in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Marky Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Shane Ferguson at newcastle is a real prospect for me. He's been out on loan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover of Finland Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 1. A proper summer training 2. A real midfield Here is my shopping list for the summer. Getting rid of all players not needed anymore is a huge task. Not bringing in any new "Portuguese" should be obvious but you never know. Shane Ferguson at newcastle is a real prospect for me. He's been out on loan too. They will have a need of their own for the decent championship player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverstdt Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Simple I would to see at least the majority of these players leave: Robinson, Sando, Orr, Ribiero, Henrique, Givet, Formica, Murphy, Etuhu, Jorge, Rosado, Goodwillie, Bentley, King, Stewart, Slew, Pedersen, Edinho, Nuno Gomes. Bring in 3 to 5 players in the summer with wingers, Kane on Loan, Kaz Free,George Boyd Free. Need a few fresh faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversmad95 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah we need to shift out 10 to 15 players out that are hanging around just collecting money they really need to want to play because they love playing. Easier said than done me thinks! Top 2 finish next year - COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Rochina back and a left back/winger too and the poor Ollson out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverstdt Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think we will be able to shift a good 10 to 15 out easily. I am optimistic we don't need to spend rash amounts of money either by picking up on some free transfers, with David Jones available, George Boyd, Chris Brunt, Jerome Thomas, Gary O'Neil, Kevin Doyle, Berra, Nick Bailey. They really are some good players available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversfan99 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Berra and Doyle? No thanks. Boyd will surely join Hull and Brunt is an important player for WBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophox Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Chris Taylor from Millwall will sign for Rovers on a free transfer this summer. A decent player and winger with a left foot. Probably means Pedersen will leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Bit of a rumor but my Oldham supporting mate has told me that the 'word about town' is that we are looking at Matt Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accrington Rover Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Matt Smith was frequently used as a substitute by Oldham, so hope not. I haven't given up on Best if he can get a full pre-season under his belt. Besides, we would do well to get even half of what we paid for him if he were to go.

Ricky Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Ebanks Blake been released. Has scored goals in this league before. Think he was the championship top scorer when wolves got promoted a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oklahoma Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Ebanks Blake been released. Has scored goals in this league before. Think he was the championship top scorer when wolves got promoted a few years ago. 70 goals, 29 assists in 167 games in the championship. Good stats. Could be a good signing but we need to sell players first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
