Tugay is a superb player when he is given space and time to play, but because teams arent stupid enough to give him this he doesnt always show us what he can do, it should be brought in for big games and easy games, like the ones at home against norwich and southampton.

Personally I would sell Thompson if someone like Everton renewed their interest & offered 3 - 4 million for him.

Thompson for 3-4million, i wish if any1 was so stupid to offer us that then hughes would bite their hand off.

Next seasons team:

Friedel

Neill Todd Nelsen Left back?

Emerton Savage Reid MGP

New Striker? Stead

Bench: New Striker, Thompson, Mokeona, Matteo, Tugay

Any more new players and i would be very happy.

I agree with roy, our players need the best build up in the summer and nothing should jepodise that especially a rubbish competition like the Intertoto.

waste of time

Pedersen is the least of our problems at the moment and i think for the near future, we still need to concentrate on our obvious weaknesses, but i agree with den that it really good to go into a game not having a care in the world....except when will stead score?

I think that it is slightly worrying that we dont seem to alternate between playing 4-5-1 and 4-4-2, im loving the results but i would be nice just to have a bit of a change and go a bit more attacking.

great post cletus!

how dare people say that we dont deserve to win the cup or even try and stop arsenal from winning it easily!

c'mon the rovers!!!

I admit it didnt look great but tensions were high we had just gone 3-0 down and the captain was just trying to do his best for the team and get back as fast as possible, but he was over zelous when it came to the tackle and was a bit late, forget it and move on.

the only reason its been blown up into sucha big story is beacuse of todds past 'bad record', which was shown this morning on Talksport as rubbish because he has only been sent off once.

I would rather have amoruso on the bench then short, but in fairness i wouldnt have either on there.

I think it awful the way in which the newcastle fans treat their team and manager. They never stop whining about anything ever, best fans in the world-yer right!

Newcastle you can have him!

I would'nt mind if it was the same from this year for next year because i think its probably been the best kit for the last 10 years. definatly 5.

mmm..tasty

For the first time in ages I saw rovers keeping the ball for a decent amount of time.I dont no whether it was because of Everton playing badly or rovers playing really well. But it was really encouraging to see.

same on sunday please.

Yer I have noticed this as well it looks as if time is running out for this deal.

It also says on SSN that he will have his medical at rovers on wednesday.

I am furious wit Ferguson, we pay a massive price for him and he doesnt perform,he gets injured,he then comes back and again doesnt perform,now he hands in a transfer request for the easy life!

This just shows that he has no ambition in life to better himself at the top level.

Todd showed what he can do as a captain on saturday..he was brilliant!

The only other person it could be is Friedel.

Thanks, except that it doesnt say that he has signed.

have you got a link for that?

savage transfer could be only hours awaysavage

bbc are reporting that robbie savage is poised to sign for rovers

link:

savage

I agree, I would like Savage to come but on our terms. He isnt worth 3.5 million or 35k a week, and if those are the terms of the deal he should stay at birmingham, but i dont think he will come to blackburn the story has gone rather dead last couple days.

It seems from the information I have is that both nelsen and mokoena can play at either centre back or midfield in the holding position. Also i agree with philly rover that nelsen seems more ready for striaght away prem football, when was the last time nelsen played?

only because mokoena hasnt played for about 3 weeks due to the winter break in belgium.

at the game on sunday emerton was on the left side because apparently 'he likes coming onto his right foot' this maybe true but this means that he cant deliver a very good cross when the oppurtunity arises which kept happening on sunday.

The best place for him is on the right with either Reid or Pedersen on the left, so that there will be oppurtunities for our strikers.
