Kazim-Richards has improved in Turkey, says Blackburn Rovers boss
10:00am Saturday 11th August 2012 in Sport
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
STEVE Kean believes Colin Kazim-Richards is a different player to the one who left England in 2007 after the Turkish international completed his Blackburn Rovers loan switch last night.
Rovers fans will get the first glimpse of the 25-year-old in tomorrow’s pre-season friendly at Cork City and boss Kean is excited by what he can add to the squad.
Kazim-Richards enjoyed spells at Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United, before moving to Fenerbahce in 2007, who he helped reach the Champions League quarter finals a year later, scoring in the 2-1 first leg victory over Chelsea.
After three-and-a-half seasons with Fenerbahce, including a loan spell with Toulouse, he made the move to their bitter local rivals Galatasaray in January 2011 and spent part of last season on loan at Olympiacos. Kean said:
“He can play in the middle, he can play wide. In his time abroad he predominantly played wide, but we played behind doors in Holland and he played through the middle.
“With his stature and power, he is hard to knock off the ball. He has great power in his right foot and technically he has improved dramatically.
“Speaking to him, he spent a lot of time off the field associating with the Brazilian lads when he was abroad and he thinks that has improved him at the standard he is playing.”
Rovers are also on the verge of making their ninth signing of the summer with Sporting Lisbon midfielder Diogo Rosado set to put pen to paper.
The 22-year-old has agreed personal terms with a compensation fee now being finalised with his employers.
Kean said: “Diogo is a bit older than a couple of the other Portuguese lads and has played games so I can see him being involved quickly.
“He is a player we are in the last stages of trying to get the paperwork to sign him.
“An attacking midfielder, with lovely balance, who can see the last pass.
“It was easy to see we were very young last year and we could have done with that little bit of experience.
“Now, when you see Danny Murphy and Dickson Etuhu have played together and Colin Kazim has experience, that blends nicely with the younger lads.
“Nuno Gomes, his experience is vast and he can mentor these guys, he will be a big factor in helping them settle quickly.”

And it Gould turn out the best thing to happen to us in the long run to rebuild and start again .. look at Newcastle mike ashley was hatted . Pardew hatted fans chucked their season tickets in the bin . Assist stripers they were called after selling their 3 best players nolan barton..Carroll and replacing them with unknowns from abroad. Now the ask the geordies what they think ?

None of you are accountants so how do you know if what venkys did is what was needed other wise blackburn would have become the next Portsmouth skint and can't afford 1 player .. times have changed and you should have a look around blackburn is not Monaco and nor old trafford. We have to gut the cloth accordingly !! And with that in mind we still have a fantastic squad !!

Shebby I'm not supporting Rovers anymore becuase I am a premier league glory hunter and we are no longer in the premier league, my question is, If we win promotion back to the PL can I have the same seat back?
That question is from everyone who's here.
Second question, Can I support another team in the PL whilst Rovers are out of it, Say Man City, because they will win everything and I am seeking more glory? After seeking more glory can I come back if you bounce and come back up?
And Finally Shebby,
If I keep posting, KEAN OUT VENKYS OUT AGNEW OUT HENDRY OUT on all my posts on the telegraph web forum, will that excuse me from being a premier league glory hunter in the eyes of those who are still going rain or shine?

FYI I was a supporter back when Rovers were in the old third division and fell in love with a club that was unfashionable (all my school pals were supporting Liverpool, United and the like). What I will not stand to watch is people coming in to systematically strip the club of all it's worth to line their own greedy pockets. I was offered many free tickets to watch Rovers last season and the season before - I turned them all down. This isn't about me paying to watch the club I love....this is about me not condoning anything that is going on. I choose to do that with respect to honourable men such as Jack Walker and Bill Fox. I cannot find the words to describe how they would feel of the current regime.

Shearer and Bellamy as signings they all impressed immediately.I think we should be looking at our defence and I hear Warnock our old left back at Villa may be after a club as he has been left out of their squad he can play in midfield as well so Kean will want him too.

Great squad 2 men for every place not including the young Portuguese lads .. so I think it time to put last season to bed and move on their not one side in this current league that have a better squad than us fact ..
Hate Steve keen as much as you like you moaning is not going to help fact !
Blackburn being in the championship isn't the end of the world it happens to most teams . And it Gould turn out the best thing to happen to us in the long run to rebuild and start again .. look at Newcastle mike ashley was hatted . Pardew hatted fans chucked their season tickets in the bin . Assist stripers they were called after selling their 3 best players nolan barton..Carroll and replacing them with unknowns from abroad. Now the ask the geordies what they think ?
Stop your moaning.
Here's a thought you Gould be a Portsmouth fan !
None of you are accountants so how do you know if what venkys did is what was needed other wise blackburn would have become the next Portsmouth skint and can't afford 1 player .. times have changed and you should have a look around blackburn is not Monaco and nor old trafford. We have to gut the cloth accordingly !! And with that in mind we still have a fantastic squad !!
We have a decent squad, end of.
We are by all accounts sound financially, which is why Scudamore couldn't do anything.
I am looking forward to Ipswich away. If we lose the first five then I will be moaning, moaning, moaning - but until that happens, give it a rest. The club is not being ripped apart. Last time I checked they had gone someway to putting a management structure in place, and we have signed some quality championship players.

I've just attended the meeting with a question for Shebby, and it was far from 'Glory Hunting'
I turned up at Ewood in 1974/75 season and the glory was most certainly hunted in that period under GL with players of little or household names reputation, but what we did see was a club, team, and management pulling out all the stops for this club to succeed which it did majestically.
Same cannot be said of these recent times my friend.
Glory and Hunting have nothing to do with today's stand off - just the right decisions in moving our club forward.
Mr cheeky you are now aptly named :)

I worry about our signings as I never believe Kean has the eye for a player similar to Mark Hughes/Dalglish so I need to see the player and it usually takes me around 5 minutes to learn if he will add anything to our squad.I can recall every signing since Douglas/Clayton and in all those years the ones who stood out were Field,Hendry,Cowans,
Shearer and Bellamy as signings they all impressed immediately.I think we should be looking at our defence and I hear Warnock our old left back at Villa may be after a club as he has been left out of their squad he can play in midfield as well so Kean will want him too.

KEAN says Kazim Richards is a different player,he can play middle,play wide ,has stature and power ,great power in his right foot, and hard to knock off the ball , WOW , SO IF HE`S THAT GOOD HOW COME HE WAS A FREE TRANSFER ? OH hold on, read more ,he now mixes with Brazilians and that is what has made him a better player ?
ARE THESE COMMENTS FOR REAL ?

But I know some people who are my age who, when they were at school back in the day were United fans. Then when the glory years come a knockin I see em up n down in rovers shirts. Now they wear no shirt and take up some other team. Glory hunters. Me, I just follow the team no matter what. Don't care who owns it. I don't even know the owner before Jack Walker, No idea without referring to wiki.
RUinsane wrote:Of course you do....you've been peddling your sh1t ever since Sam was in charge (but under different guises). FYI I was a supporter back when Rovers were in the old third division and fell in love with a club that was unfashionable (all my school pals were supporting Liverpool, United and the like). What I will not stand to watch is people coming in to systematically strip the club of all it's worth to line their own greedy pockets. I was offered many free tickets to watch Rovers last season and the season before - I turned them all down. This isn't about me paying to watch the club I love....this is about me not condoning anything that is going on. I choose to do that with respect to honourable men such as Jack Walker and Bill Fox. I cannot find the words to describe how they would feel of the current regime.

RUinsane wrote:Nobody is the slightest bit interested in what you have to say. Venky's and Kean have destroyed a well run and well organised club....history tells that story. Hendry for his part is a disgrace to anything he touches. If Jack was still alive he'd tell you, Venky's, Hendry and Kean to F£CK OFF
Looks like all the premier league glory hunters might be at some meeting somewhere.
Shebby I'm not supporting Rovers anymore becuase I am a premier league glory hunter and we are no longer in the premier league, my question is, If we win promotion back to the PL can I have the same seat back?
That question is from everyone who's here.
Second question, Can I support another team in the PL whilst Rovers are out of it, Say Man City, because they will win everything and I am seeking more glory? After seeking more glory can I come back if you bounce and come back up?
And Finally Shebby,
If I keep posting, KEAN OUT VENKYS OUT AGNEW OUT HENDRY OUT on all my posts on the telegraph web forum, will that excuse me from being a premier league glory hunter in the eyes of those who are still going rain or shine?

I hope this is all over soon. I just want to see some proper support for the team thats all. Weve got a lot of untried lads in and that proved disasterous last time round. Has anything changed?

We have to gut the cloth accordingly !! And with that in mind we still have a fantastic squad !!
Wishing good luck to S.Kean and the new buildup team.

And with that in mind we still have a fantastic squad !!I can't work out if this guy is a PR man or an idiot - learn to spell for a start and maybe get some of the players names correct and we'll start paying a bit of attention. Rovers fans aren't whinging for whinging sake, there has been a constant campaign of mis-information from the men in charge. Everyone accepts that Kean is in charge until Venky's put their hands in their pockets and pay him off but Rovers fans are allowed to be annoyed by it. Kean won't leave because he loves the money and knows there isn't another managers job out there for him. Venky's know they have made a mistake but will lose all face if they finally admit to it. Rovers fan's are in an unprecedented position where they can't win - they can see their club being ripped apart but no-one cares or listens. If they support the club and the people lying to their faces - they lose - if they protest they lose - if they stay away the club suffers and they lose. Being in the championship could be a new start as has happened before - but look at other teams with far greater resources who have never got out again or sunk even further. We are not Monaco - or Old Trafford - we are Blackburn and all we want is to say that with pride again.
You're no genius with the English language either Mr Egg on Face. No need for an apostrophe in Venkys (unless it's being used as a possessive pronoun). The same goes for fans - not fan's.
There are plenty of us out here just wanting to put the last couple of seasons behind us and look forward to a brighter future down at Ewood. Hope springs eternal. That attitude doesn't make us either idiots, or Burnley supporters.
I've been following Rovers for over sixty years and we've had deeper troughs than this I can assure you.
Get down to Ewood and support them or go and follow another team. It's your choice.

Looking at the dictionary on the meaning of ,
INTEGRITY == VALUES and PRINCIPLES,honesty AND truth in ones actions.
and
HYPOCRISY==pretendin
g to have moral principles one does not have.
So LETS have a vote , what would the drunk driver KEAN BE / and what would the swindler liar HENDRY be ?
As you have not denied it and or sued me for calling you a dingle, by your own logic re Colin, it must be true. So that makes you a liar, a hypocrite and a troll with no concept of integrity. You even tarnish the name of a man who had all the values by using it as your sign on name.
Oh btw, Kean said Kazim had improved by playing in the Champions league, and being at a CL club, and mixing with the Brazil lads means mixing with them 6 days a week in training, so he would learn from them then?
You don't even know how a football club works do you
