    I think some comments are harsh on Robinson. He did not have a great season but a keeper needs a good defence. Kean either sold or alienated our best defence.

    Kean Out!

    Makes no difference, Robinson was the worst keeper in the prem last season with regards to shots on target and shots saved represented as a percentage. That stat doesn't lie. It shows how good a keeper you are, and Robinson was so bad he doesn't even appear on the list of goalkeepers from last season in the prem. He's not even on the list whereas Bolton had both goalkeepers in there, Jussi and Bogdan both scored way higher than robinson, yet conceded the same amount of goals. So that should set alarm bells ringing. Even the wolves keeper gets a higher score.
    Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy, but he needs to warm the bench. Its got nothing to do with what defence is in front of you at all. Shots on target to shots succefully saved is the measure to go off.
    Ha. What a load of rubbish. Did you watch every shot that every player had against every goalkeeper in the league?

    It is like saying N'Zonzi is the best passer in the PL because his OPTA completed passes stats are very high, or Pedersen is the most dogged player in the league because he consistently runs a KM further than anyone else on the pitch over 90 mins.

    Come on now, Steve Kean loves a good stat - lets not fall in to that trap.

    I don't particularly rate Robbo but don't act as if this is some sort of proof of his culpability for last seasons goals.
    No I didn't watch every shot at every keeper in every game, OPTA did it for me and thats why they get paid big bucks.
    You are obviously too dim to understand what stats mean. Go back to school and take maths to a decent level.
    The goal is eight feet wide by 24 feet across and the stats are measured by the number of shots on target to the number successfully saved. The goalkeepers job is to stop it going in. It doesn't get much simpler. I can break it down a bit further for you if you are struggling to take it in, I'm good at teaching maths y'know."

Rovers reject Bunn offer

WANTED Mark Bunn WANTED Mark Bunn

BLACKBURN Rovers have rejected a bid for goalkeeper Mark Bunn from Premier League Norwich City – as they continue to try keep the majority of their squad together.

Many feared a mass squad exodus this summer in the wake of Premier League relegation but, to date, the expected string of exits have not happened.

The Lancashire Telegraph understand Rovers rejected a bid in the region of £500,000 for Bunn from the Canaries out of hand and do not expect either him or number one Paul Robinson to quit this summer.

Bunn will not be fit for Saturday’s big Championship kick off at Ipswich, and could be on the sidelines for another month having suffered a recurrence of a hip injury he has suffered from for most of the summer.

Robinson is the man of possession of the number one shirt for the start of the campaign but Rovers are keen to keep hold of Bunn to provide the necessary competition between the posts.

Rovers have lost Junior Hoilett to QPR and Yakubu to China this summer but don’t plan on letting many of their other players leave before the transfer window shuts at the end of August..

Midfielder Steven Nzonzi remains the exception, with him available for loan having handed in a transfer request, but Rovers are yet to receive firm interest in him.

Swedish international Martin Olsson remains on the sidelines due to injury but, despite his agent insisting the player wants out, the Lancashire Telegraph understand Rovers do not want to sell.

They have already rejected a bid for the left sided player from an unnamed Premier League club and received no firm contact from anyone about defender Scott Dann.

The centre back has been reported as being a target for a host of Premier League clubs, but no firm bids have been made.

Boss Kean said: “We have had no bids for Scott and he has played a big part in our pre season.

“We expect him to be in our squad still for the Championship, despite the speculation there has been about him.”

Meanwhile, the Lancashire Telegraph understand Rovers are targeting an experienced striker for the final piece of their firepower jigsaw.

While they were prepared to pay in the region of £6million for Huddersfield hot shot Jordan Rhodes, failure to land him has seen them revaluate their wish list.

With David Goodwillie and Edinho still counted as ‘young’ strikers, Rovers will hope to land someone with the capability of helping them develop.
