Kean calls for fair price over Junior’s QPR switch

STEVE Kean admits Blackburn Rovers have heard nothing from Junior Hoilett this summer – but has called for his final price tag to reflect the work they have put into his development.

The Rovers boss said he “thinks” the Canadian has signed for QPR but fears there is a long way ahead before they know what compen-sation fee they will receive.

Mali striker Garra Dembele has ended his short trial with the club but Portuguese duo Edinho Junior and Paulo Jorge are understood to have moved towards a permanent deal after featuring in the friendly double header on Saturday.

Kean also admitted Rovers were running out of patience in their chase for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva and said they would soon have to look elsewhere as his efforts to strengthen continue.

The club are still waiting to receive a formal offer for Hoilett’s registration, after his contract expired, but otherwise the case would be settled at a tribunal.

Daniel Sturridge’s move to Chelsea from Manchester City was settled in a similar manner and, with the striker eventually going for up to £6million, Kean is hoping Rovers will also get what they deserve.

Hoilett moved to Rovers from Canada at the age of 13 and, seven years on, Rovers are looking to be compensated significantly for their efforts.

Kean said: “We haven’t heard anything from Junior. I believe he has signed for QPR but that has not been confirmed yet.

“I think he has had a medical but we haven't been told that officially from QPR, we just heard on the grapevine. I don't know the process now. They might make us an offer for his registration but if not it might go to a tribunal.

“We feel we have played a large part in his development, we wish him all the best but it would have been nice if we had a call.

“I don't know what the figure was for Daniel Sturridge, but I know it was a chunky figure. We have had Junior a long time, we have put a lot of time and effort in him and Im sure that will be reflected in the price.

“If lessons are to be learned, when we signed him a few years ago on a two year contract, if that had been a three or four year, he would still be our player. But that is a lesson learned.”

Nuno Gomes and Mauro Formica were on target as Rovers beat Fleetwood 2-0 in Saturday's first pre-season friendly.

Brian Smikle's header was enough to give Accrington Stanley a 1-0 win in the second game at the Crown Ground, but Kean was delighted with the afternoon.

He said: “Playing two games back to back gives everyone a lot of minutes very quickly. To get that amount of minutes into their legs, on the back of Austria, is a really good exercise.

“The results are not the important thing at this time of the season. First of all, it is a fitness exercise and we are looking at things tactically.

“We had some nice forward play and Danny Murphy showed his class. He doesn't only keep the ball, he plays a lot of forward passes. He gets the ball into the man at the front and I think controlled the pace of the game.

“We know we still have to strengthen and we will be working hard to do that and I am confident we will get some bodies in.”

Bradley Orr and Marcus Olsson picked up groin and hip injuries respectively, while Morten Gamst Pedersen, Mark Bunn and Martin Olsson missed out through injury.

Simon Vukcevic is on his way back to fitness after undergoing nose surgery.

Just more dribble from the idiot Kean - he says he has always had a good relationship with his players yet none of them seem to have any respect for the clown!! He admits Junior hasn't been talking to him and they don't know what he's up to or what kind of money they will get for him - Thought our global adviser would be at the forefront of any discussions about players in and out of contract - no Mr Idiot Kean still runs the club with the backing of the Venkys!!!

Kean says that there are lessons to be learnt and that Hoilett should have been signed on a 3 or 4 year deal.

Possibly, but remember that at that time Junior was a 20 year old who had not broken into the first team squad.

I feel that Kean is just trying to blame Allardyce here.

He conveniently forgets that shortly after he was appointed manager, to prevent a mutiny by the club's senior pro's, he recommended pay rises and contract extensions for Roberts, Samba, Nelson etc.

This proved to be a crazy strategy because last season the club did all it could to get rid of these high earners'.

When Kean was asked about Hoilett in early 2011 he repeatedly said that contract talks could wait until the summer.

This proved to be a massive mistake, and even though he travelled over to Canada last year to meet Hoillet's father / agent he was unable to persuade him to sign.

Kean... doesnt it speak volumes that a player you supposedly nurtured refuses to call you and now you dont even know where he is.

Tatts says...
9:38am Mon 23 Jul 12

I can't help thinking that Junior will not fit in well under mark Hughes. Hughes likes wide men who get back and defend. I think Hughes will end up seeing Junior as a luxury player and will ultimately lead to Junior being left on the bench (which will serve the greedy little git right).

Wait a minute, how can Hoilett be out of contract when in the Summer of 2011 Steve Kean repeatedly told us all that Hoilett would be signing a new contract imminently? Surely Kean wouldn't lie to us supporters who he has treated with such honesty and respect over the last 18 months? Kean, you are utter scum.

Whilst I cannot blame Hoilett for wanting to get away from this club as quickly as possible, if the reports linking him to Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich are true and he has chosen QPR over them then I hope he 'does a Bentley' and rots on the bench.

Meanwhile if Scott Dann clears off to Southampton then we'll be in need of 3 defenders. Who will the legend Hendry work with on the training ground? Remember Allardyce? He didn't need a defensive coach because he could do it himself. Our buffoon doesn't even understand that you need defenders in a team, never mind how to set them up and stop conceding goals. Hendry's one of the boys along with Agnew and Shaw, no morals whatsoever and only interested in one thing.

You have to say though Venky's have really pushed the boat out with their signings this summer (not).
Leon Best - 3 million
Gomes - Free
Murphy - Free
Other Portuguese nobodies - Free

Since January we've sold Samba for 12 million, Yakubu for 1 million and now Hoilett for what will be a 7 figure sum.

Strange - it seems there is a black hole of about 10 million quid since February. People please don't be taken in by this myth that Venkys are spending to get us back up - they aren't.

The Lancashire Telegraph is in Agnew's back pocket. They won't get anything from Rovers unless it has been edited by Agnew first. Rather than printing this propaganda and being a mouthpiece for the abhorrent regime the Telegraph should be supporting their customers and stop printing anything that Kean/Agnew has approved.

We as BRFC supporters have got to realise we cannot get Mr Keen sacked. What we really need to do is get the owners to start being involved. Mr K. Has us in exactly the same position as last year at this time. We are led to believe he is going for forwards and yet we have no central defence. Remember last year we played Nzonsy first match at CH and he had never played in that position. Will we have to suffer DD in this position as no room for him and Murphy in same team.

What do you think? Do Venkys read these articles can we have them start commenting and at least showing us that they have some interest and not just for the money. Do they appreciate success will bring money, we have been starved for too long buying £2 to £3M has beens or loans.

Wow, never saw that coming....hoillet not signing a new contract and leaving for another club!!

To be honest, i'm not that bothered that he has gone. On his day he was a decent player who had some quality and could do something different, but his "on" days were far too in-frequent.
I would of hated to play behind him as he was too lazy and never hlped out defensively, thus all the goals that were conceded down the left hand side. Also the fact that Martin Olsson is not a class full back, he's better in midifeld as he cannot read the game properly and ends up doing his Forest Gump impression all game, "run Olsson, run"!

Scott Dann leaving would be a blessing as he has not proved his worth as a good defender. I must admit I thought he was a good signing last season but he has proven less than mediocre.

Our best defender by far is Givet, who is not the quickest but can read the game and his best position is centre half.
I would promote Henley to left full back, sign a right full back and insist that whoever is daft enough to sign Ollson also takes his twin as well.

Midfield is going to be a struggle. Dunn has the heart but not the legs so you could not see anyone daft enough to play Murphy and Dunn together.....ok, I can imagine one numpty who would.
We need legs in there to run for Murphy who wont last 90 min in many games.

I don't understand all this sudden urge to sign Portugese players. I'd like to know who is on the receiving end of the brown paper envelopes, it doesn't make sense.
A cold night in January, how many johnny foreigners will actually turn up and give it 100%, just cannot see it.

To be honest, it is going to be a long hard season, even if somebody grows some balls and has the common sense to get rid of one of the big reasons why we are in this sad situation, Keane.
But even if they do, and i do think they will sooner rather than later, who with any experience about them would want to manage Blackburn, not many names spring to mind.

I just think it is going to get a lot worse before it even remotely gets better!

Tuo Neak says...
5:24pm Mon 23 Jul 12

Just a thought but if Steve Kean wanted a "Fair Price" for Junior Hoilett why during all his time at Rovers didn't he consider selling him before this situation arose. It looks blindingly obvious that he was never going to sign a contract within 48 hours from January 2011 onwards.

This could get quite funny soon. I assume Dann is going somewhere (no great loss) and we know Givet is trying to escape (big loss) which will leave Kean with Hanley. Obviously we can't count any of Mr Anderson's children who may or may not exist. So the question is will Kean notice we only have one centre half ???????????

100% agree with you,Keanocciho is p*ssed off that he wont get a bigger slice of the transfer money now he is out of contract, for once venkys and kean have been duped them selves by hoillet constantly promising to sign a new contract when in actual fact he was never going to sign because as you say wanting to play in a bigger,better club that has a real plan and future in the PL.Hoillet new a long time ago that kean and venkys were never going to provide that at ewood hence samba and a few others darting for the door they saw it coming months ago like some of us on here did nothing worse than being duped and lied to is there venkys,kean,hendry

Yes he is signing............. .......... For QPR
Perhaps he meant years. He'll be just about old enough to fit in nicely with the current signings by then.

I was told by a former player that Hoillet had no intention of signing a contract who ever the manager or owners were,he saw himself at a bigger club.
Kean full of his own importance could not beleive he could not persuade Hoillet to sign.
It does seem strange that Nzonzi asked to leave and was made to train on his own whilst Hoillet who wouldn't sign a contract to show his loyalty played all last season,double standards or what?

Wow, never saw that coming....hoillet not signing a new contract and leaving for another club!!

To be honest, i'm not that bothered that he has gone. On his day he was a decent player who had some quality and could do something different, but his "on" days were far too in-frequent.
I would of hated to play behind him as he was too lazy and never hlped out defensively, thus all the goals that were conceded down the left hand side. Also the fact that Martin Olsson is not a class full back, he's better in midifeld as he cannot read the game properly and ends up doing his Forest Gump impression all game, "run Olsson, run"!

Scott Dann leaving would be a blessing as he has not proved his worth as a good defender. I must admit I thought he was a good signing last season but he has proven less than mediocre.

Our best defender by far is Givet, who is not the quickest but can read the game and his best position is centre half.
I would promote Henley to left full back, sign a right full back and insist that whoever is daft enough to sign Ollson also takes his twin as well.

Midfield is going to be a struggle. Dunn has the heart but not the legs so you could not see anyone daft enough to play Murphy and Dunn together.....ok, I can imagine one numpty who would.
We need legs in there to run for Murphy who wont last 90 min in many games.

I don't understand all this sudden urge to sign Portugese players. I'd like to know who is on the receiving end of the brown paper envelopes, it doesn't make sense.
A cold night in January, how many johnny foreigners will actually turn up and give it 100%, just cannot see it.

To be honest, it is going to be a long hard season, even if somebody grows some balls and has the common sense to get rid of one of the big reasons why we are in this sad situation, Keane.
But even if they do, and i do think they will sooner rather than later, who with any experience about them would want to manage Blackburn, not many names spring to mind.

I just think it is going to get a lot worse before it even remotely gets better!
True blue, your last sentence maybe more truthful than you or blabber mouth SK realizes, he will know this when his old crocks start fettering out after 60 minutes

One thing we do know is this team was not very good in the PL and I think maybe not so good in the Championship either

Every day brings us closer to the start of the season. Can't wait! Then we will see what excuses our Shebby. and PR guru's will come out with to justify the continuation of Kean as manager. Because there is no way we are going to get off to a flying start. It will be downhill from match one.

Been alway from the internet for three weeks...I see no progress or real investment with the squad and likelywill be weaker before the season begins.
With clowns running the club you are always going to end up with a circus act.

This could get quite funny soon. I assume Dann is going somewhere (no great loss) and we know Givet is trying to escape (big loss) which will leave Kean with Hanley. Obviously we can't count any of Mr Anderson's children who may or may not exist. So the question is will Kean notice we only have one centre half ??????????? Normally you would expect that a competent manager would have a plan but.................

.................
I have been told we can't play Anderson one more time or he gets an additional nine year contract, surely this can't be true he has only played half a game, whose how agent, he must be good!!!

Hendry was a Rovers legend during the two periods he played here. However a lot has happened since then with his life, career and reputation. On the coaching/football management side, a failure with no track record of success. Why take a gamble at this critical time with the club? We need a manager not another coach!

Do you really expect anyone with any self respect as a footballer to sign for us? Do you expect anyone that signs with us is doing so for any reason other than the money? You really are a silly man.
The club isn't Kean or the Venkys! These are just skin and bone who take up space at this moment in time.

He has deserted ship just like the rest.

Knowbody detests our current owners or Kean more than me. We know there not from Blackburn and shouldn't be here. I dont want to manage an IPL team, or be 2nd in command at Baldo el Gingeros .com

If you leave Blackburn you are a deserter! SIMPLE RULES!

I am very relaxed about Hoilett leaving; he is a luxury type of player who cannot or does not wish to get stuck in every game. In order to get promotion that is a quality that every player must have to make the difference. As I remember there were maybe half a dozen games last season when Hoilett made that difference otherwise he was just a presence on the field. For me, it makes no difference whether he stays or goes because as far as I can see there is an awful lot of work which needs to be done at Ewood. The close season so far does not inspire too much confidence but hopefully things will get better but things cannot continue as they are.

So the sewer rat is waxing lyrical about the morality of a fellow professional in football.
-
What caps this off though is now we hear him moaning and whining about how he has been ignored and blanked by Hoilett since the end of the season and strung along.
-
Shortly, prior to this of course he was only 2 weeks away from signing a new contract, and that the Venkys needed to keep him in a job as he could encourage our best players to stay!
-
Kean is a lieing scumbag, no wonder the owners like him so much.

He used to run the match-day policing. He seemed fine and good at his job.

Policing away fans will be more problematical due to Fernhurst no longer available to them. Police not happy at prospect of, e.g. containing a large Leeds United away following.

It would not be hard to understand the appointment of Henry.
A committed player in his time, yet to conman Kean....
1) not a threat to his Manager position
2) a fellow scot to "tow the line"
3) a person how will be very much appreciating "a job" at this moment in time and be of very few people prepared to work under this clown.

Let,s hope he brings some controlled steel and commitement into the squad and especially the defenders AND raises the level of fitness tht was so lacking the last two seasons.
