Silva attempts to force Blackburn Rovers move (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I believe Blackburn Rovers have applied to the Football League to have the number of substitutes increased to 22 with a change of 11 players allowed during a match. This is a direct result of players complaining about sitting on the bench or in the stands and not getting a game.

Get him signed!


Silva was actually born here in France and spent some time with Bordeaux as a young lad. The current French Champions Montpellier are very interested in signing him right now also.

3.5 million is the price mentioned in the French sports papers and there are other French clubs interested as well and also Stuttgart in Germany.

Looks like he could be a very good midfield signing for us!

One thing that we older contributors should try and remember is that we can be a tad boring if we don't take care.

Lol, I think I am like you in that I am just desparate to find some good news. Knowing how the BRFC media machine works, it could just be another one of their gems: like when we got relegated last year, Kean's first speech was nobody is to blame and exciting times ahead. Still, as I have said before, if we can keep most of the team together and make a few more signings, then I don't really see many championship teams better than us - at least on paper anyway.

To late I am afraid. No matter what the headline you can rely on Lancs pensioner to get it back to slating Kean and Venkys. I am pretty sure everyone feels the same as Lancs does including the ones that have renewed their season tickets. However it is beyond boring reading it all the time. For all his and others moaning (I do understand why) it has not achieved anything and only contributes towards fans falling out with each other. Surely this is a good news item that someone wants to play for BRFC and therefore should receive the correct comments.

He would be a great capture for Rovers and I do wonder why he would even consider coming to us at this time. In spite of all the weary posters who seem to dominate on here this would be a great boost to the Club if we can attract young players of this calibre - for whatever reason.

And then he woke up............. Interesting distinction between team and club. The incompetence shown by those acting as the "club" had the immediate consequence of the "team" falling apart and the club being relegated. There is a distinct possibility these imbeciles may destroy the club, and therefore the team, completely. You can't have one without the other. Similarly, you can't support one without being seen to support the other.

'many teams betters than us in the championship' sorry the team on paper may look decent
but its harder than the prem , and Kean made a real mess there, well be lucky to survive with all the best players in the world

You could well be right, I remember the last time we went down, we were awful defensively as indeed we are again. The first season down turned into a fight to avoid relegation. This time, I look at other teams like Burnley who have aspirations of the playoffs, and I don’t think they have anybody, now jay rod has gone, that I would swap a player for. Therefore, I am going to start the season very cautiously optimistic until results tell me otherwise. We will see when the season starts how big a handicap Kean is

Having been underwhelmed by our transfers so far, if this one comes off I would be very pleased. So I expect it to fall through with the usual bullsh@t only to find further down the line they wanted 3.5 million and shonkys only wanted to pay 3.4 so we signed a galapagos islander who is 39 but showed promise in a beach football competition when he was 11 years old and shaggy was on holiday there diving with the turtles.

Morning Mr French :)

As good as this lad is lauded by a wider audience will his progression continue under such as the Odious One ?

I'm sorry, but my confidence in this imposter is zero%. I have no believe in him what so ever.

I guess we are going to find out soon enough, but after 4/5 games this should be the bench mark for the removal of this imposter.

Doesn't always work out, but Cotterill and Dyche have been shown the door by new owners, and I see and expect top class ex footballers will be installed as managers giving them the best chance for success ?

Us ? it's like something out of Beano, Dandy and Topper !

His excuses have run OUT !

Why would Sporting want to keep him at all if they rate him so highly that they've loaned him out for the last 2 years - that dosent make sense.

I've never seen him play so I don't have a clue if he is the next Messi or the next Modeste - only time will tell although I fear he's more likely to be like the latter rather than the former.

It's in the French sports papers and on French footie websites and has been for a while JC - so not conspiracy for you to find this time. Not even this contemptible lot at Ewood can access or influence the French media. And he will be a very good signing should we be lucky enough to get him.

I'm not saying he won't be a good signing - I hope he will be.
.
I've no idea if he's any good or not because I've never seen him play, have you ?
.
If not, how do you know he'll be any good ?
.
All I can go off is FACTS -

FACT 1 - He has never scored a single goal for Sporting Lisbon yet he has been their player for 5 seasons - thats hardly a stat to get our pulses racing.
.
FACT 2 - He has spent the last 2 seasons away from Sporting, firstly in Israel and then in the lower reaches for the Portuguese league -again, hardly something for us to be doing cartwheels about.
.
FACT3 - Last season we signed a senior Sporting Lisbon 1st teamer in SV who has hardly lit up Ewood since his arrival and in the greater scheme of things Silva would have been way down the pecking order at Sporting behind SV - so if SV can't make it at Ewood, why do we expect one of their reserves to ? - thats just illogical.
.
He may turn out to be a good signing but the way some people are reacting (when I doubt that any of us have actually ever seen him play) you would think we were trying to sign Messi's more skillfull young brother !

I think you are missing the point here Benal13......the fact that other decent clubs genuinely want to buy Silva makes anything Kean says or doesn't say totally irrelevant. (as usual)! And why you say he is a 'Kean man' makes even less sense.

When are these halfwitts going to strengthen the defence?

we were one of the best teams at the bottom of the league going forward last year, but we let too many goals in.

Each transfer window they look to strengthen the mid and attack, and then funny enough we let loads of goals in can't think why.

The defence has been decimated with the loss of top players, they were replaced with up and coming and very little else, and do you know ever since the good defenders were pushed out, we have been very poor at the back, there has to be a reason.

Is anyone responsible for the football played at Ewood, Or is it just about getting some desperate cheapos to keep those who don't actually care about the club long term happy?

This is their third transfer window and they stock pile mid and attack again, but forget to bring good defenders in, who runs this club?

I would be amazed if this "Sporting, Porto, Barca, Chelsea, Montpellier, Marseille etc etc" are after him, it is all bull$hit, put out by either his agent or the Rovers PR machine (just like they said Gomes had rejected Everton to come to Ewood - Everton has said today they have never had any interest in signing Gomes, nor had their been any contact with him or any of his hangers on or with his club)

Why would Sporting want to keep him at all if they rate him so highly that they've loaned him out for the last 2 years - that dosent make sense.

I've never seen him play so I don't have a clue if he is the next Messi or the next Modeste - only time will tell although I fear he's more likely to be like the latter rather than the former.

It's in the French sports papers and on French footie websites and has been for a while JC - so not conspiracy for you to find this time. Not even this contemptible lot at Ewood can access or influence the French media. And he will be a very good signing should we be lucky enough to get him.

I'm not saying he won't be a good signing - I hope he will be.
.
I've no idea if he's any good or not because I've never seen him play, have you ?
.
If not, how do you know he'll be any good ?
.
All I can go off is FACTS -

FACT 1 - He has never scored a single goal for Sporting Lisbon yet he has been their player for 5 seasons - thats hardly a stat to get our pulses racing.
.
FACT 2 - He has spent the last 2 seasons away from Sporting, firstly in Israel and then in the lower reaches for the Portuguese league -again, hardly something for us to be doing cartwheels about.
.
FACT3 - Last season we signed a senior Sporting Lisbon 1st teamer in SV who has hardly lit up Ewood since his arrival and in the greater scheme of things Silva would have been way down the pecking order at Sporting behind SV - so if SV can't make it at Ewood, why do we expect one of their reserves to ? - thats just illogical.
.
He may turn out to be a good signing but the way some people are reacting (when I doubt that any of us have actually ever seen him play) you would think we were trying to sign Messi's more skillfull young brother !

i hope kean reads this hes into facts and stats but i bet he would have changed some of the words to make him look a world beater cant wait to hear who he compares him to because after reading the above he just sounds like a kean man come on steve start the buildup

I think you are missing the point here Benal13......the fact that other decent clubs genuinely want to buy Silva makes anything Kean says or doesn't say totally irrelevant. (as usual)! And why you say he is a 'Kean man' makes even less sense.

i say he sounds like a kean man after looking at the facts posted up by JC RISHTON and now ive just heard silvas agent is pini zahavi involved with pompey need i say more frenchrover!

yes you need to say more....what about the other clubs that are genuinely after Silva? How are they being duped? And JC's facts don't tell all the story and don't mean anything to the other clubs involved. Nor does the fact that Zahavi is involved - as he is a licensed agent despite his history and every player has an agent. Its crazy that every transfer Rovers report is described as a conspiracy by someone on here and usually its the same people everytime....its getting beyond being ridiculous now.

I hear we are trying to sign the Bishop of Blackburn as he is good with crosses and Carl Fogarty as Kean has heard how many corners he has taken.

French Rover already confirmed Silva interest and Everton have yet to make an official statement. I say this is more about what You want to believe and fair dog's, but if it insults your senses so much why bother paying any attention to it?

Kean's trying to get him on a two month loan deal.

Benal13 and BlueSkies, it was reported in The Independent that Venky's had appointed Pini Zahavi, the Israeli 'super-agent' who lives in the murky and sinister world of take-overs and transfers, as their adviser last November. Furthermore, he is reported to be an ‘associate’ of Anderson. He's a power-broker...invol ved in multi-million £ agent's fees...third party ownership...Gaydamak at Portsmouth...Abramov ich and Chelsea...West Ham and the Tevez-Mascherano affair... and his business dealings are described as 'a labyrinth'... I don't know if he is still 'advising' Venky's

Every player has an agent that is part of the course in football.....I have said it before and I will say it again though it is an area of football that needs to be regulated ......heavily
