Blackburn Rovers new guy Gomes faces 'biggest battle' at Ewood Park

NEW BOY Veteran striker Nuno Gomes NEW BOY Veteran striker Nuno Gomes

SHEBBY Singh insists Nuno Gomes has the desire to succeed in the “biggest battle of his life” – as Blackburn Rovers look to conclude most of their summer business before the weekend.

Rovers’ global advisor is adamant the signing of former Portugal striker Gomes is not a gamble and believes the veteran will add vital experience to their Premier League promotion push.

Gomes, who turned 36 today, joins Danny Murphy, Leon Best and young Portuguese winger Fabio Nunes, who signed a three-year deal yesterday, as Rovers’ new boys this summer and Singh is happy with the progress made so far.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva is believed to still be a top target for Rovers, as the player looks to negotiate his release from his current employers, with Singh admitting business is now nearly done - ahead of today’s return to pre season training.

He said: “We have signed Danny Murphy, Leon Best, Nuno Gomes, and Fabio Nunes.These four are already here to start pre season.

“We hope we can conclude the one more signing that we want by the end of the week, maybe then we will look for one more player but we want our plans in place for the weekend.

“You never can say never because something exceptional might come up but I would say I only expect two more players to come in, at the most, and that will be it before January. I am hopeful one of these will be before the weekend.

“We have to have almost concluded everything by this weekend because we want everyone to start pre-season training together.”

Rovers want Silva in England for talks tomorrow as they look to land their man.

Eyebrows have been raised at Rovers giving Gomes a two-year deal but Singh has quickly played down talk of his signing being a risk.

He insists the player turned down more lucrative offers to start his Rovers adventure and believes his desire, despite having played at the top level for most of his career, will be there for all to see.

“It is a big signing, like Danny Murphy was for us,” he said.

“We see Nuno Gomes playing in the withdrawn striker role, linking the midfield and striker, with his ability and experience to hold the ball up.

“We know it is going to be hard and fast and that is where players like Danny Murphy and Nuno Gomes become very important.

“When the rain is pelting down, and it becomes very hard, we know Danny and Nuno will help the younger lads through. We know Danny Murphy won’t shirk the responsibility and we know Nuno will not shirk the responsibility.

“Nuno turned down offers from Australia, the MLS and the Middle East, after chats with myself and the manager. That speaks volumes of his desire.

“He could have gone to sunnier climes, where there was more money available, but he wanted to come to the most difficult league in the world to get out of. That desire he has expressed is very, very important.

“Of course there were more lucrative offers on the table for him for an easier life but he has come because he has a desire to succeed in what could be the biggest battle of his entire career.

“We don’t see it as a gamble. We are not expecting 20 goals from him. Having a player of his experience and stature can only help the likes of Ruben Rochina, Mauro Formica, David Goodwillie and Leon Best.”

Discussions are expected with a number of the club’s want away players as they return for pre season today, as a few look to renegotiate their contracts after enforced pay cuts.

Martin Olsson and Steven Nzonzi both want to quit Ewood, while Paul Robinson’s future is also still uncertain. Argentinian outfit River Plate are understood to be interested in Mauro Formica but have yet to make contact with Rovers.

Come on Mr Cryer - 'OUR GLOBAL ADVISER' - we must be a laughing stock with titles like this - we are a small Lancashire Town and did have a great well run Club until these idiots arrived on the scene along with their second rate Manager - this is just more idiotic 'hot air' from people full of their own self importance.
OUT WITH KEAN VENKYS AGNEW SINGH
And Mr Cryer it would appear from your script that you have fallen into the trap of believing their garbage!!

He speaks as if rochina and goodwillie are going to get a chance this season. Hopefully they do because i think they could shine in this division. I think if we only lose olsson robbo and nzonzi we will still have a very good chance at promotion despite the bald one still being in charge. Things are looking a little brighter... a little. RTID.

The only other transfer we want to see is KEAN OUT and a manager in. Then Shebby you can have the clean slate that you want. All the fans will be back. Job done.

It's easy really

On the plus side, he is communicating and there is a plan for midfield and forwards. However what about the defence particularly if Givet or Dann go? We seem to need another central defender.

stick to football says...

Well hope that that is 2 quality defenders bearing in mind Nelsen Salgado and Samba left - Olson is likely to join them and all we got in was that guy from QPR -Orr The jury is still out on Dann and Handley so if it dont work or injuries strike God help us.

Maybe we are going to be like Spain 9 Midfielders 1 Goalkeeper and a front man -our only problem is we cant hold the ball and not fast enough to break if Hoillet and Olson go

bring back the good old days says...

Pretty much as expected.
That's the 'ins' almost done.
The important bit is now the 'outs'.
It is hard to say whether all of our known 'wish for outs', will actually leave. Due to Rovers agreeing, clubs actually coming in for them, or a change of heart by the indvidual.
Will Shebby be able to entice one or two to stay? Its hard to say.
Will Kean still in charge be the 'stumbling block'? Reduced salary is certainly an issue.
I certainly think Shebby will be 'checking the pulse' of the support toward these signings, and so far there are some that have got the 'itch' back to return. Can't criticize them for that, its a very hard habit to shake off.
However, for myself the proof is in the pudding, as I have heard all this before (but from Kean) . Time will tell whether Shebby truly is a 'new broom'.

Well for once there is not just talk, things are happening and I am now starting to look forward to the season and watch the preseason friendlies. I would love to see one defender join and no one else to leave.

Would love to see Rochina more next season. A dark horse for top Championship scorer next season provided he plays regularly and in his preferred position.

Desperately in need of another Centre Back and Left Back if Olsson goes.

Let's see what happens. Not convinced anything changes with Kean still in charge.

The defence last season was at times pathetic and inept, yet we have signed nothing but strikers and midfielders.It is looking likely that Kean believes by getting Colin Hendry on board he will improve the existing staffs performance,for me las season Dann looked anything like a central defender and with Givet not certain to stay it looks like the youngsters will be thrown in again I just hope Kean does,nt ruin them. Ihave never been so unpassionate about a new season ever!and like others have already stated wait now for the exodus.

You have to agree with this, the squad on paper is more than good enough to achieve promotion even with those two players lost. What I fail to understand is why we are going to play the season with a handicap. A manager that will sabotage the team throughout the season by his presence, why are Venky's or whoever makes the decisions still sticking by a proven loser.

How can Blackburn Rovers have a fresh start without clearing the most incompetent part of the club. If the players are allowed to play and don't have contract issues or mysterious injuries we'll have a decent season.

We heard all this positive spin about last season's signings which - apart from the Yak - were dismal. So as they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". You had better have got it right Shebby or you will face a greater barrage than previously!

Quite right and we had a squad capable of retaining our premier league status last season,and acording to Kean and Venkys capable of a top six finish!!we might have a half decent squad for the championship if we manage to keep the majority of the staff, the big drawback is we will still have a inept ,nomark useless manager in charge midtable finish for me Ihate to say.

Maybe its because its not a case of "won't fire" its more a case of "can't fire"?

Lets not kid ourselves, if we polled all Rovers fans and asked them whether they believe that Kean owns a share of Rovers, i think the emphatic answer would be "YES".

All we can hope for then, is that if Shebby is as good as his word, if results don't go our way quickly, that he pushes the shining one upstairs behind a desk.

1,Shebby and Kean fall out.
2, Rovers bottom three at mid season.
3,Gomez will be good for a few games, then look lazy.
4, Some players will openly revolt, more than last season.

I feel the owners are looking for a desperate buyer, because they are now polishing their terd, if they find the mugs, sooner rather than later, there will definately be wholesale changes.

There can be no clean slate for most fans until Kean has been quite rightly fired. He has shown how utterly useless he is as a manager ever since he took over. If Venky's want to shackle the club by sticking with him then that is their perogative as owners. The players who wish to leave will now take place over the next couple of weeks. Defensively we are still suspect and there has been no attempt to remedy that as yet. Bringing Hendry in as a defensive coach won't cut it as you can't make bricks without clay as the saying goes. It is an individual decision for fans as to whether they purchase / renew a season ticket but I am not going to do until Kean and Venky's have gone. I think the club cannot make any progress when they remain along with their installed politburo of yes men.

You would assume that once we have completed the proposed signing of Adrien Silva, the other signing mentioned will be a defender. He refers to Best, Goodwillie, Gomes, Rochina and Formica, which is plenty of cover up front when we have Slew in contention for a striking role as well. The target should really be a centre back as we're thin on the ground in that position, especially of Olsson leaves and Givet has to cover at left back for parts of the season.

I agree. Also, I think the squad last season was more than capable of PL survival. The problem was, and still is, Kean. He is obviously not up to the job. How long will it be until the numpty says; judge me now, this is my team. And how long will it take for some numpty fans to say; lets give him 'till Christmas and all that ****.

As long as conman Kean has ANYTHING to do with this once proud club, our trip to oblivion will gather pace.

Agree with all those who say we have to sign defenders. It has to be the priority.

I still think if we had signed 2 good full backs in the last close season instead of playing the pensioners Salgado and Givet (Centre half not full back) at full back we would never have been in relegation trouble. We were cruising 1-0 up against Fulham away, another soft goal given away because of a full backs mistake changed the game and we lost yet another game we should have won.

12) your not called Jerome, Nathanial, Timothy, Gurtrude or Trevor!
You're a rather odd sort of "ist" maka that's your problem. A Blackburn"ist".

Do you drive only cars made in Blackburn or only buy petrol from Blackburn's many oil wells?

Maybe you feel only people from Blackburn should be allowed to play in the team too?

Accepting that most of what you say is tongue-in-cheek, I rather hope this is too.

I agree with everyone about Kean but maybe its time we just ignored the fact that he is the manager and sing Blacks blue and white army to get his back up.

I do not feel somehow that are squad will not adapt easily to the Championship as the other managers in there are experienced guys who have their teams fully organised.We have Portugese,Argentinia
ns and Spaniards who may have more technical qualities but will they count for anything on a cold winter's day at Hull?We also have the bald one who really needs to go back to training college and re learn tatics and coaching as he tended to lose matches we had already won by making stupid substitutions last season.

You have to agree with this, the squad on paper is more than good enough to achieve promotion even with those two players lost. What I fail to understand is why we are going to play the season with a handicap. A manager that will sabotage the team throughout the season by his presence, why are Venky's or whoever makes the decisions still sticking by a proven loser.

How can Blackburn Rovers have a fresh start without clearing the most incompetent part of the club. If the players are allowed to play and don't have contract issues or mysterious injuries we'll have a decent season.

Yeah i agree he was and still is the problem. I just think even with the buffoon in charge we will still push for promotion with this squad.. pending departures obviously. I am still sceptical of the whole venkys kean n singh thing but i just think these players have the ability to do BRFC proud. Maybe the penny has dropped n venkys have finally started to right their wrongs... we wont know until about 10 games into thr season. But as much as i detest that plank kean i would love to be sat at the top of the championship come may celebrating promotion... with or without him. And for that reason i am going to get behind those players wearing the blue n white! RTID.

Global Adviser. What does that mean? He is advising whom? Venkys? I don't think so, that's Kean's role.
What does Shabby actually 'advise' on? Its laughable that a guy who probably can't even name half the clubs in the Championship and who has no right to even talk about English football having never had any experience of it is in a position to tell Rovers supporters what is happening and hold an influential role at BRFC. The sooner this clown follows Kean out the door the better.
I don't want to listen to what some muppet from Malaysia has to say about MY football club. Singh has shown he has no morals by taking the money and changing his mind over Kean. I want to hear what the man himself has to say. Still waiting for that apology Steve.

Moral integrity and Fortitude

Our club has been attacked by an incompetent individual and management consortium to which no apologyor sign of remorse for their actions has been forthcoming.

We should not grace them with our presence until they have done the decent thing and acknowledged the fact and dismissed the key person for our demise.

Only then would the true process of reconciliation begin.

Moral integrity and fortitude is required in these testing of times.

Don't relent even under the temptations that they are so obviously trying to put in out way.

To actually show the personal qualities required has proven beyond them and I include certain senior players of responsibility within the club as well.

where's the evidence to suggest he couldn't name half the clubs in the championship? and how will it stack up against the fact that it was his job to talk about english football pretty much every single day of the year? granted the focus was largely on the premier league, but would you say the same about the MOTD presenters?

So considering we had no centre backs at one point, why do we need another striker when we have signed two already?

i simply don't buy the statements of 'fact' about the players that will leave. we simply don't know yet, so let's see how things pan out. and then assess the coming season.
Its only a handful of people and its always by and large the same people. Do what I do and try and skip past them and move onto constructive comments regarding the actual article.

And yes, I think we're all agreed, the defence needs shoring up.
Centre halves ?

He won't have thought about that.

Spending nearly done and they've spent nowt.

What's changed ?

lets not get giddy, they have signed two oap's and a couple of unknowns, best i think might be ok but lets face it, if he was any good, prem clubs would be after him! also if that's it for signings what about our "defence" 77 goals leaked last season only one club worse than us! Also lets wait for the exodus they haven't signed these players as "extras" to join the squad they will want high wage earners out to pay for them no matter who or what!

I.ll bet you said the same towards the end of last season fitz808! lets see how things pan out!! we have been watching things pan out for over 18 months now and dont like how things have panned out hence the dissent.We are all Rovers fans but some of us have had enough of the lies and bul***t from the owners and their minions I for one hope we can come out all guns blazing and win the first 10 plus games but to be brutally honest I cannot see it,up the blue and whites.

He stands up and walks out, like most adult humans do.

Apart from Weasel Kean, who claims to have invented, designed and built the bath himself, after (of course) he discovered water and the entire concept that Spiderman wouldn't theoretically be able to get himself out of the aforementioned bath.

But then Kean is an alcoholic, a criminal and a liar.

And most depressingly, his job title suggests that he is the manager of our football club (even if the reality shows that he's nothing more than a massively overpromoted bibs & cones man).

You have to agree with this, the squad on paper is more than good enough to achieve promotion even with those two players lost. What I fail to understand is why we are going to play the season with a handicap. A manager that will sabotage the team throughout the season by his presence, why are Venky's or whoever makes the decisions still sticking by a proven loser. How can Blackburn Rovers have a fresh start without clearing the most incompetent part of the club. If the players are allowed to play and don't have contract issues or mysterious injuries we'll have a decent season.
Quite right and we had a squad capable of retaining our premier league status last season,and acording to Kean and Venkys capable of a top six finish!!we might have a half decent squad for the championship if we manage to keep the majority of the staff, the big drawback is we will still have a inept ,nomark useless manager in charge midtable finish for me Ihate to say.
Maybe its because its not a case of "won't fire" its more a case of "can't fire"? Lets not kid ourselves, if we polled all Rovers fans and asked them whether they believe that Kean owns a share of Rovers, i think the emphatic answer would be "YES". All we can hope for then, is that if Shebby is as good as his word, if results don't go our way quickly, that he pushes the shining one upstairs behind a desk.
If, as rumoured, Kean has a minority shareholding in the club, it is still perfectly possible to sack him. Minority ownership and executive positions are two entirely different disciplines.

On another note, I see that Dr. Goebbels' (sorry, Agnew's) syncophatic little minions have been on here in force, again, praising the signings!

French Rover says...

Just read that due to Police objections we can't have the historic and traditional 'coffin burial' ceremony at Bamber Bridge this year.

Always in the past (since the forties I think) Rovers and Preston fans have either dug-up or buried coffins depending on when one of the teams got relegated or promoted. Seems the Preston fans caused some problems after the 'celebrations' at their latest burial after last seasons relegation. (The burial is in the 'cellar' of local BB pub)

However the good news is that some Rovers fans and a Preston councilor got together and arranged for the Rovers coffin to be taken across to Blackburn and on the 22nd July it will be taken in a short procession from the Fox and Hounds to the Aqueduct where the Rovers 'burial' will take place amid many pints and much commiserations.

Unfortunately the usual floats and band etc will not be able to be included due to the busy road etc...but at least we can keep one Rovers tradition going.

Last time at Millwall we won 4-1, last game, they were celebrating promotion and were all pickled!. Their fans charged over to us at the end of the game, us thinking we'd get our heads kicked in, and it was a big love-in. Aaaahh. Happy days.

After a much belated spell of printing any old rubbish that Kean and Venkys put out, Cryer found some integrity and started asking some good questions. When it became clear that Venkys and Kean were staying and we had signed a "Global Adviser" Cryer has gone back to uncritical regurgitator of PR pap.
Do we need a "global adviser"? To advise on what ? Surely we need a "how to get out of the Championship adviser" someone with experience of doing the job in hand.
Do Venkys and Shebby seriously think that the world is longing for news about a provincial club which has sunk to absolute lows on and off the field ?
Kean's thin credentials were that he had played in the Portuguese lower division and coached some unsuccessful clubs and now Shebby... man of the match against Shrewsbury. Talk about inspiring respect in the dressing room and fear in the opposition.
Three Portuguese who've never played in England doesn't inspire much hope.
Shebby alas will find it easier to get out of the Championship than he thinks - but in the wrong direction.
Bottom half of the division at best by Xmas and the shame of being below Burnley, I predict.

Always in the past (since the forties I think) Rovers and Preston fans have either dug-up or buried coffins depending on when one of the teams got relegated or promoted. Seems the Preston fans caused some problems after the 'celebrations' at their latest burial after last seasons relegation. (The burial is in the 'cellar' of local BB pub)

However the good news is that some Rovers fans and a Preston councilor got together and arranged for the Rovers coffin to be taken across to Blackburn and on the 22nd July it will be taken in a short procession from the Fox and Hounds to the Aqueduct where the Rovers 'burial' will take place amid many pints and much commiserations.

Unfortunately the usual floats and band etc will not be able to be included due to the busy road etc...but at least we can keep one Rovers tradition going.
On that Mr French :)

The intrigue as always wanted me to go attend one of these.

I see there are another couple of 'new posters' on here tonight, noticeably; Brian Potter & RTID RKID. I don't know, the lengths that this club will go to, to cause divisions amongst the fans! A classic Kean tactic. It's not working. We can see through your PR CR@P! There can't be anyone as simple as these two.
Divisions amongst the fans are a shame LRHV, but I am sick of negativity and looking forward to the season. I'm not a Kean fan, but I'm not completely obsessed with him getting sacked either. But for now LRHV, it appears you've uncovered a conspiricy theory on this forum so crack on with your obsession.
