HoustonFox Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Do we really need to sign him now? I think we should wait and see what happens at the end of the season. Is he available, is he the right price? If Nige wants him and gets him, I'll support that. I've not seen loads of him. He looked "decent" in the games he played in the Prem and is versatile. Not the biggest so we'd lose a bit of height at the back and I like that about Zak - dominating in the air. If only told him to stop hoofing it! How hard can that be to tell someone to not hoof?!?!!?

Leicfox Posted 8 January 2013 Share Posted 8 January 2013 Blackpool manager Michael Appleton is currently 1/4 to be the next Blackburn boss. Very weird, unless he's had a massive falling out with Oyston over players leaving and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of those managers (like the guy a MK Dons) who gets linked with every job for no apparent reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 9 January 2013 Share Posted 9 January 2013 Alan Curbishley Always wondered what the hell has happened to him, is he still sat there expecting a top 6 team to call or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 9 January 2013 Share Posted 9 January 2013 Why is he so in demand? Good agent.. a bit like how Wellens was in demand when his contract was running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted 9 January 2013 Share Posted 9 January 2013 Reminds me of Alan Curbishley and Iain Dowie... Seems to be happy doing what he is doing to me. I'm sure he could have taken another job by now if he wanted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Arbuckle Posted 9 January 2013 Share Posted 9 January 2013 hes cheap and desperate to get away from a control freak Blackburn probably wouldn't be the best place to go then. That Shebby Singh chap is a right weirdo and has some pretty odd ideas. Was probably only a joke but I'm sure I saw he was actually on the short list to their next manager himself!

Hope we can finalize the Keane loan deal to the end of the season, any news on Trotter or is that dead in the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will listen to offers for SSL - because of his high wages.I was told yesterday the deal for Keane is 95% complete. The only thing I know on Trotter is that we approached Milwall before Xmas and were told to sling our hook! For me he's a good fit because he can play left back too but I guess Milwall have done a Hull on us after we knicked Wood from under their noses!

Wages isn't the main thing why they'll listen to offers though.... Don't think that sometimes they're too happy with his banter/professionalism.
