Blackburn Rovers may have to sell to buy ex-Real Madrid defender
9:47am Wednesday 12th August 2009 in
SAM Allardyce may have to sell some of his Blackburn Rovers squad to enable him to sign former Real Madrid defender Miguel Salgado.
The 33-year-old former Spanish international is currently in talks with the Ewood Park outfit, with Rovers boss Sam Allardyce keen on snapping him up on a free transfer.
Allardyce’s summer transfer dealings have already stretched his finances to the limit though, having signed six players, leaving the club contemplating ways of improving the quality of the squad without increasing the financial burden.
Salgado has convinced Allardyce he still has the physical attributes to be a success in the Premier League but his signing now depends on freeing up the money to match his wage demands.
This would probably involve the sale of one or two of his squad members, with the club currently boasting 26 senior players – not including the likes of Alan Judge, Keith Treacy and Mark Bunn currently on loan elsewhere.
Rovers could be tempted into cashing in on the significant interest there has been in striker Paul Gallagher, although more trading could be necessary to fit Salgado into the club’s financial constraints.
Meanwhile Aston Villa are still 'very interested' in left back Stephen Warnock, having made official contact over a week ago, although their valuation of around £4million is some way short of Rovers'.
Salgado was at Rovers’ training ground yesterday to have assessments carried out on his fitness and talks about a possible deal are expected to continue.
In 10 years at Real Madrid, having signed from Celta Vigo for 11million euros in 1999, Salgado made over 250 appearances, winning the Champions League twice and the Spanish League title four times.
He has made more than 50 appearances for Spain, featuring in Euro 2000 and the 2006 World Cup, and is a free agent after being released by Real this summer.

Also perplexed as to why we included a 15% sell on fee when Pompey were dealing with a straight cash deal?
On another positive the fact we looking at the likes of Salgado is brilliant...I follow Real closely and he a strong and pacey defender who aint afraid to get stuck in or go up and attack...only problem is he alil on the small side...wages could be a prob but rekon we shud sew this deal up ASAP before other clubs undoubtably get interested....heard West Ham are but they waiting on the gold digger Neil to decide on his future.
Regarding Warnock, I think Martin O'Neil needs his glasses slapped off his face...£4m for our player of the season?? this isn't cheeky its just down right disrespectful....£1
0-12mil at least although we should charge £1m extra for the disrespect!
Finally...don't know how true this is as the transfer rumours in Luxor are'nt the most accurate but heard we in for Negredo of Real Madrid...I did mention bout 6 weeks ago that he would be ideal for us but at £12m I don't know how legit this is...supposedly he deciding this week between us and Hull and a few others....be amazing if we pull it off and could be helped with the Salgado signing but unlikely now we have Kalinic.
Would be excited if we get Rothen as opposed to Zenden but have faith in Big Sam.
Hope all you guys are well....be good to know your thoughts on the above!

It was no surprise that Steven was the fans' player-of-the-year as he demonstrated exceptional effort and commitment on the pitch. He should arguably be captain of the team.
Villa's offer of 4m is an insult and we should not entertain any further discussion with them.
I fully agree with Rovers' prudent approach to the wages bill but I believe that it would not make sense to lose Warnock as a means of affording to bring in for one season an aging player in Salgado.
The Spaniard would be a great capture and his signing is well-worth pursuing but, I hope, not at the expense of losing such an established and proven competitor for the club.

If we sell Warnock, our best player consistently for the last three seasons, to make room for that fat, over the hill Spanish joker Salgado I will never go to Rovers again. Absolutely disgraceful. We should be looking at youth, not this has been clown. I saw him in pre-season for Madrid, he had obviously had too many paella's and couldnt run. We need to address our paper thin midfield. I'd much rather sign Zenden that Salgado or failing that, get some young blood in.

Anybody know why Zurab is still at the club? Is it his ability to handball, give away penalties and score own goals?! Sell him to some turkish or greek club for twice his real value, they seem to like doing that over there!
OK HE HAS ONE BAD PRE SEASON FRIENDLY GAME AGAINST DUNDEE UTD.WHAT ABOUT THE GAME AT EWOOD?SAFE AS HOUSES..
One preseason friendly does that make him a bad defender and it was nelson who gave the penalty away watch it on rovers ..if that was the case rio ferdinand would be playing in the championship.

Surely Warnock wouldnt be sold to make room for someone else ahead of the likes of Reid and Dunn!
Lets think about it-
Warnock- consistently one of our
best players!
Reid,Dunn- consistently Feckin injured!!!!
Its a no brainer! I will be disgusted if Warnock is sold ahead of these two!
Just the thought of it is making me mad!

Also Zurab is a great defender if only he was given a run in the team then maybe we could REALLY see the true ability of the man!!
All defenders have bad days at some point in the game, Zurab is no different!!

Nelson (fingers crossed)
Samba (still crossed)
Givet
Diouf
Pedersen
Warnock
Nzonzi
Roberts
McCarthy

Record ST sales. Full house vs Citeh.
I would not sell Warnock for less than £10m but does anyone think BS does not like small players across the back our and may see this as a chance to invest in a midfield player with two other left backs in the squad anyway?

The former French international flew home after a two-day test at Rovers and is waiting on an answer from the Lancashire club about whether they can afford to take him on from Paris St Germain.
And in the meantime La Liga outfit Mallorca have started talks to sign him, but he is delaying that decision until Blackburn come up with the cash for him."
He'll have along wait, according to this story we dont have any.

I agree that we could lose one of our senior keepers (either Brown or Bunn) since we bought the young Greek lad in this summer and Feilding looks like he could be decent. Then cash in on Gallagher. Of the other possibilities to move out Reid and Dunn would likely be on the biggest wages and, while they could be good players for us, they are just too unreliable - especially Dunn who is always picking up little strains and niggles here and there. I think we could cope to lose one of them. Zurab's days are probably numbered too, playing with the reserves in preseason and now we've signed Givet, Jacobsen and potentially Salgado says it all for what Allardyce thinks of him I think, so he may also be on his way.
I'm sure that there will be some interest in most, if not all, of those players mentioned above. I don't think we should sell any more than two outfield players and a keeper, as we don't have sufficient depth to cover - especially in midfield.

what amazes me more roverspal, is how much excitement can be generated over a piece that says rovers have told villa they will have to pay way more than £4m if they want to even think about Stevie Warnock. There has been no bid made. Above though are loads of insinuations that Sam and the board will make the wrong decision...yet one thing that sam and the board have done consistently well for Rovers is...make the right decisions!!!
We all hope that like the Grabbi style affair does not happen again, if it does blame williams if it doesnt we will be too happy to rememeber.
Remember there are many other clubs who have tried better players and they have failed in this league but sucsceeded in good leagues like the spanish league, players like Dieago Forlan.
Obviously scoring one goal against UTD does not make Pavel great but he has also done it at the highest level at international level.
Like you I think we are not being told the truth when it comes to transfers when we need a central midfielder and we get stories of every other type of player other than a central midfielder but let the season role on.

However, I strongly suggest you are a bit more positive and supportive of the players and team.

SupercalifragilisticIf we'd have been offered £12m at the start of the transfer window i honestly think we would have sold but being so close to kick off, theres not a chance. Warnock will be made to wait for the move, thats if he really wants to move to Villa. Big Sam knows there wont be enough time to get a player in of Warnocks quality settled into the squad.

Warnocks the heart and soul of our Rovers side and all the antics above about him 'having one bad game',does NOT make him a bad player.
Hopefully Warnock will have a more attacking role this season with Givet at left back. Lieutenant Nelson at the back and Captain Warnock just inside Peds on the left. Oooohh i cant wait

Warnock will be made to wait for the move, thats if he really wants to move to Villa. Big Sam knows there wont be enough time to get a player in of Warnocks quality settled into the squad.

Firstly, I'll bet you any amount you like.
1988-2001 I missed a grand total of 2 home games (all competitions)... I could go on and on and on, but I won't even bother.
Autographs... jesus!
I've got Zinedine Zidane's from when he came to Ewood for talks, not many of them about!
So you're taking responsibility for that ridiculous prayer room are you? Glad someone is!
What a rubbish idea, and spectacular failure that was!
Matchday staff should stop being so work shy and do what they are paid to, instead of using religion as an excuse to skive!

OZTHEMAN:I thought I answered your question above,hughes has'nt bid for Warnock so does that make him a bad player.
but hughes wants a centre back he does not need a left back.if he was in the market for one then it would have been a differant matter..some people think that some players are toooo good to be left out,if they are that good when an old manager knows we sell anybody dont you think he would have come for Samba??..NO ONE IS too good..we scored more goals without RSC last season than we did with.. my point was Samba may be GOOD but not that good and I dont think Lescott is either not 22million

Miller11 wrote: Whilst I don't want him to go, Warnock isn't as good as people are making out. Wigan away... one of the worst performances I have ever seen by any Rovers player. For me, Samba is far more irreplaceable. Lets be honest, 10-12 mil would not and could not be turned down. Salgado would be a cracking signing! Ps. Everyone on here should be going to the game on saturday. Unless you are financially unable, or live abroad, you don't really have an excuse - so I hope the vast majority of you will be there. However, I strongly suggest you are a bit more positive and supportive of the players and team. To give us tickets so cheap, only to be "rewarded" by moaning, whinging knob heads would be a disgrace! All true Blues - if you get some idiot sat near you moaning and groaning at Andrews, Roberts, McCarthy, Pedersen etc and not supporting them - get them told!one bad performance does not make a bad season... if samba was that good then dont you think money bags city would have offered rovers money for him?or did hughes not see how good and bad he was?

This is the first time I have responded to you but it seems to me you have spent the last twp weeks causing as much trouble as possible with your fellow fans and have been the most negative person on here. This all implies despite your claims that you do not understand the history of BRFC. Anyone who understands the club in the 60,s 70's and 80's as well as the great Jack Walker years knows how lucky we are now and wants to enjoy this season now the club have realised a great atmosphere from record Rovers fans in Ewood is the way forward to utilise Jack's stadium.
Now can you be positive before Saturday or are really you off to Stoke?

OZTHEMAN:"I think Lescott and Samba play in the same position,unless you watch Liverpool." What's that supposed to mean.Bridges and Warnock play in the same position,Hughes chose Bridges therefore Warnock is no good if we apply your logic.
some fans think bentley was a god and want him back hughes doesnt want him on the cheap..to apply a duality of logic does that make him a bad player?
for most managers I believe its what you need and when you need it

What have all these players in common? that’s right they all can play full back. So why would we buy another! Especially an ageing one at that, oh, to afford this ageing players wages we have to off-load a couple of (younger)squad players!-this to me doesn’t make any sense at all- could be a smoke screen and all this cr@p in the press “4million” blah blah.. Is just that cr@p, not an ounce of credibility in the story-these days teams play their own fans -if they don’t then there’s so much to lose!-my guess (the Cynic in me -only a guess) it’s a done deal & villa will get a certain full back for 6/7m- Rovers having been seen to play hard ball and keeping respectability with their own fans! Then ex-Galacticos
fills his shoes -next it’ll be Ferenc Puskas replacing McCarthy!!!

I DO NOT SHARE YOUR VIEWS and hope other ROVERS FANS DONT.
Also there is a prayer room in the new hospital, please tell them you dont want to be treated by people who go in there.Or like your friend Miller does he think the DR's who go in there are going in for a coffee break?
Prayer room in a football ground is ridiculous and pathetic and little more than a publicity stunt.

He still looks lazy for Norway, but just looks like a completely different player who can cross and take decent free kicks. As for the prayer room thing, I agree it is stupid to have one in a football ground, but if it attracts Muslim fans then I don't care. I am not racist, I just don't like religion and certainly think it should be separated from football.
Did anybody watch the Norway v Scotland game? Pedersen looked like the 'Pedersen' of old!! He had a good game. Let's hope he can reproduce that kind of performance over the coming season! C'mon you Blues!!!
