Blackburn Rovers snub Fulham interest in Andrews
1:54pm Thursday 9th July 2009
BLACKBURN Rovers have told Fulham that midfielder Keith Andrews is not available after the London club made an approach.
Contrary to reports, no official bid was received by Rovers for the Republic of Ireland international but an enquiry was made by the Cottagers.
However, the approach was met with a refusal to even enter into negotiations by Ewood Park officials.

Andrews is a very poor footballer, the only benefit of having him was the simple fact that he was fit unlike dunn/reid etc, but he is a headless chicken and absolutely clueless. Thanks for the efforts Keith, now move him on.

I'd actaully be obliged to want to keep him as cover but agree that he's poor at this level. Game passes him by far too much. He "did a job" last season but, in my opinion, should not be a first choicer at centre-mid.

Far to easy to pick him out & for most part I would say it was because he came through Ince.
I dont think Trappettini etc see K.Andrews as a rubbish footballer, but fans are differant.
Ripleywonder I see your point as to 'Headless Chicken', but this is just his style.
He was never going to be the skillful footballer, but he does have some sweet passes & a eye an for goal. His honesty shone out for me, when if he had chosen to, he could have hidden & maybe we would not have survived the season without his contribution & I feel the club are now repaying his commitment with this statement.
Many, many plus points come with K.Andrews.
That said the old adage 'every player as a price' does play a part here. If SA feels that good coin is available for Andrews & a better player(with the same commitment) is available then I can see a deal being done?
I wish to see K.Andrews leave on the best possible terms if this is to be the case & I'm sure BRFC will wish this to.
In today's game this sort of commitment is becoming less & less & I for one salute K.Andrews for his & hope that he remains at BRFC & improves year on year with us rather than another rival from the Prem.

We should not miss out on this one as his contributions are going to be limited - the mere thought of him playing against Dingles horrifies me.

I'm backing Andrews. Fulham want him and Rovers don't want to let him go. That's not because he's rubbish is it? Is anyone telling me Roy Hodgson, Sam Allardyce and Paul Ince don't know a decent player when they see one? Did anyone see the lad's glorious deep crossfield ball in the last match of the season (I think it was to Diouf)? Wonderful stuff.

I hope he remains & contributes to waht should be a successful team this season, then we will see a differant K.Andrews because he did come from a promoted side to then be struggling in a team along with a baptism of fire in the Prem !!
On the whole he did a great job for our beloved club..... :)

Most might think Paul Ince hadn’t a clue about football management so what excuse can you make for B F Sam , Wroy Hogson, and GioTrapattoni rating him-oh I forget most of you think your professional football managers! Please give the lad a chance this season you might be pleasantly surprised!!

Andrews has done more than enough to justify himself this season.
Some people would still find reason to moan no matter what.
Mostly armchair supporters and Baddiel and Skinner generation who think we should buy Kaka!

I would just hope that he goes with good memory's rather than bad.
Yep, I agree all players have a price & if SA can better than that what we have then all well & good, but KA will come good year on year.
My concern is the fitness off Dunny,Reid & Grella for 09/10? :( They need to stay fit or we could be in the dog house should KA leave & we find no replacement, unless of course 'The new Viera' gets to grips like real quick.....
I do like the 'Roy Hodgson - Kevin Davies moment' qoute
