KaKa Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What a find by Hughes. Cost £400,000 from Hertha Berlin, has only just joined our league but is already fully adapted and better than every singleone of our defenders! Will the day we make these kind of signings ever come? Warnock, Samba, McCarthy, Roberts and Nonda ... what is the total cost of these players who have done an excellent job of taking Blackburn forward this year. Probably about half of what we spent last summer. Surely ... Jesus wept. :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Roeder dosn't have any abillty,he can't manage, he can't motivate,he can't discover young talents, he can't put good tactics,he can't even choose a decent line-up, what the hell is he doing as Newcastle manager,i wouldnt let him manage a sunday league team..

And one (tempremental) player in four years is a mark of what exactly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 What a find by Hughes. Cost £400,000 from Hertha Berlin, has only just joined our league but is already fully adapted and better than every singleone of our defenders! Will the day we make these kind of signings ever come? Yes, as soon as we install a competent scouting system to rival our rivals, and stop taking the easy route of buying big names on even bigger salaries just because theyre available and "good". The club probably didnt even know who Samba is before he came to these shores, or Vidic, or many of the other talented defenders unknown to us because they arent household names in this country. Sir Bobby stated in his autobiography that Shepherd listens to a few people whos footballing knowledge he "trusts" - hence probably the reason for our non existant scouting network - one of them being Stretford and another no doubt being McKay, so any footballers not on the radar of these agents are probably anonymous to us other than the extremely obvious ones that weve all heard of. Benayoun? To be fair to the lad... Daft way to run the club, and its no wonder that we regularly make shiite signings. Can only hope that Allardyce or someone else can come in and force some degree of competency and efficiency into some departments within the club. Even then, how long before hes undermined by the current lot sitting on their dividends and sunbathing in tropical islands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 There should be many other names that slip through my fingers but in 3 years Mark Hughes is in charge they have spent (according to the foolowing list) 7.75M, ie 2.9M on average every year. This season is particularly impressive as not only the volume of transfer is significantly larger, the only flop is Andre Ooijer (2M) who is out injured for the majority of the season. On a side note Stephane Henchoz would be a good candidate for Roeder - free, old and experienced, good. But Roeder didn't do anything, nothing and now he is regretting. In 2006/2007 Blackburn sold Paul Dickov - Free Craig Bellamy - 6M Jonathan Douglas - Free Shefki Kuqi - 2.5M Dominic Matteo - Free Lucas Neill - 1.5M James McEveley - 600K Total = 10.6M Bought Jason Brown - Free Francis Jeffer - Free Jason Robert - 3M Benni McCarthy - 2.5M Andre Ooijer - 2M Shabani Nonda - Loan Stephane Henchoz - Free David Dunn - 2.2M Stephen Warnock - 1.5M Christopher Samba - Free Bruno Berner - Free Total = 11.2M Net Spending = 600K In 2005/2006 Blackburn sold Jonathan Stead - 1.8M Garry Flitcroft - Free David Thompson - Free Blackburn bought Craig Bellamy - 5M David Bentley - Free Zurab Khizanishvili - 500K Aaron Mokoena - 300K Net Spending = 4M In 2004/2005 Blackburn bought Ryan Nelson - Free Robbie Savage - 3M Peter Enckelman - 150K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC06 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Benni McCarthy for 2.5m is the transfer of the season imo We need manager who is capable of finding these kind of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 On the (few) occasions I've seen him play, he's looked an absolute carthorse. Had a decent match against us, but then who hasn't this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
