Blackburn Rovers release three players
10:40am Monday 19th May 2008
BLACKBURN Rovers manager Mark Hughes has released Peter Enckelman, Stephane Henchoz and Bruno Berner as he begins his plans for next season.
It comes as a double blow over the weekend for goalkeeper Enckelman, whose first-half blunder in Saturday's FA Cup final gifted Portsmouth victory over Cardiff.
The Finn had been on loan at the Championship side since January in a bid to earn regular first-team action.
Since joining Rovers from Aston Villa in January 2004, he had made just two Premier League appearances.
Defender Henchoz, who signed for Rovers two summers ago, failed to make a single appearance this season.
Former Swiss international Berner, meanwhile, made four appearances this term.

Bradley and Huddlestone would be good quality signings too because they are young and talented (especially Bradley) and will accrue in value.
Bent's wont be off cause the sell on clause Arsenal have would negate the financial benefit of the deal.
Can't see more than 3 players coming in this summer, that being the case i'd plump for:
Michael Bradley
quality right back (in mold of warnock)
striker like Bellamy
poss Huddlestone too if we offload more fringe players.
RE: the striker, i wouldn't completely rule out Camerone Jerome from Brum. I think he has a lot of potential. Young (21), explosive pace, very good goals/games record and cheap price tag (2.5-3M) He had a pheonomenal strike rate at Cardiff and in the last 2 seasons he's scored 14 goals in 40 games BUT 30 of those games he came on as a sub so he hasn't played many minutes. Imagine how many goals he could score if he is playing regularly in a team with better service...

defo not Bellamy. he would be off after one season once he uses us to get back on track..
Forrsell aint a bad call tho, if he could stay free from injurys.. he is only about 28/29 aint he..

Not huddlestone he is sooooooo slowwwwwww and i have not been impressed in the few games i have seen him play. defo not Bellamy. he would be off after one season once he uses us to get back on track..

i bet people who are wanting to sign this bradley so much havent even seen him play, lets face it heerenveen games or huever he plays for arent really readily available over here are they.
as for bellamy even though i dont like the guy i think him and santa cruz wud b a fairly explosive partnership. and forssell?? i dont see him worth the risk at all, a big disappointment from early promise at chelsea
chimbonda would be one of the players top of my list. a quality right back available 4 decent price

I can exclusively reveal the contract that offered Owen Coyle offered me:
>Three quarters of a bottle of some disgusting lady drink called 'Benedictine' or something.
>A box of signed Chico merchandise
>Several dusty packages containing 'BFC - We've made the play offs' flags (unopened)
>Some lucky pebbles
>A weekly go on the village goat
>A voucher redeemable at Brendans new "Turf Moor Bowl-o-rama" that let's me have a free go on 'Outrun'
>A bit of string that used to have blimp on the end
>A chance to have a go in the Bertie Bee costume
>A barrel of Clarets Extra Bitter (named after the way they feel about Rovers).
Obviously I told em to shove it!

daniel, please can you stop it. Whilst at least you seem to have thought about some of your suggestions, its all irrelevant mate. Hughsey will sign whoever he wants to sign, and whats more, it won't be any over priced average players like jerome, huddlestone or forsell. I'm sorry to disappoint you, and i know you won't like this, but i am a genuine fan, and i am right!

Ferran Corominas Telechea also known as Coro (born January 5, 1983 in Girona) is a Catalan footballer, who plays for Espanyol in La Liga. He is notable for scoring the last minute winning goal for Espanyol against Real Sociedad on Saturday 13th May 2006; the 1-0 win just saved Espanyol's Primera División status, relegating Deportivo Alavés instead.

Daniel - good answer mate, fair enough. I just get a bit frustrated when you're tryin to convince people to spend our transfer and salary budget on players that we simply don't need, eg beh haim and now forsell. Rovers budget is very tight mate, if we sign ANY of the players you suggest, it would mean that we can't sign players for other areas. Michael bradley, yes, fair enough, so you read an article about this kid before the rest of us did, but you made your point weeks ago, and also, there are clubs with more maney than us chasing him, so don't get too excited. In the event, the players that hughsey signs will not have been suggested on here, the club doesn't work that way. Likewise, we aint gunna be signing england u21 players from spurs.To re-iterate though, you're quite right, you are entitled to your opinion, and i apologise for telling you to stop it. I'm going to carry on expressing mine too though. To be fair, if you keep suggesting, there will eventually be one that we agree on, i'm sure!! cheers
