Rovers in sweat for Best news

8:32am Monday 30th July 2012 in News Photograph of the Author By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter

LEON Best will undergo scans on a knee injury today – but Rovers are bracing themselves for having to find another two new strikers for the Championship kick off.

Rovers boss Steve Kean was already in the market for one more forward before the season began but, if Best is ruled out for any significant period, he will be allowed to move quickly for a replacement.

The £3million summer signing from Newcastle was stretchered off in the first half of Rovers’ 2-1 pre-season friendly win against AEK Athens at Fleetwood yesterday, after an innocuous looking tackle.

Fears were growing last night that injury could potentially be serious and Rovers are now facing an anxious wait for the prognosis.

Kean is understood to have had West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox on his wish list, with a fee of £2m believed to have been agreed in principle with the Baggies.

The Rovers boss still remains eager to sign Cox and hopes the striker can arrive for talks in the next few days.

But the Lancashire Telegraph understands that other members of the club’s hierarchy are not ready to give the deal the green light, believing there may be better options elsewhere, so the interest in Cox is currently unlikely to be pursued.

Best scored a sublime first half goal before being stretchered off yesterday, with fellow summer signing Nuno Gomes heading home an early opener.

Rovers assistant manager Eric Black, said: “Leon will have scans in the morning so we should know in the afternoon about the extent of the injury, so fingers crossed it is not too serious.

“It is hard to say. Obviously he got a bit of a fright because his knee seems to have moved. It is very hard to tell because there is not an awful lot of swelling in the joint but the only way to tell is a scan.

“He brings a lot, we know that. He is obviously a fabulous finisher, as you saw, but he is a focus. He holds the ball, links the play and is a massive physical threat as well.

“Fingers crossed he will be okay.”

Morten Gamst Pedersen, Martin Olsson, Simon Vukcevic and Mark Bunn all remain out of action as they continue their come backs from injury.

Rovers play two games in Holland next weekend before their final league warm up game in Cork the following Sunday.

Hmm could it be that the owners have finally seen the light and relialise that thousands are still not renewing their season tickets untill the great one has gone?
Or is it just wishful thinking on my behalf.
My 4 season tickets will only be renewed when Kean has gone.

If Kean thinks he can start next season in the championship with a defence headed up by Scott Dann with Paul Robinson in goal, and a bunch of inexperienced kids as support, and not expect for the defence to be our achilles heal again, well good luck. Good luck because you are going to need it.
-
Get rid of Dann and Robbo and concentrate on bringing in experienced defenders. Play Mark Bunn in goal.

Cox is a solid striker but we not likely to be paying 2mil so no doubt our better option is a freebie from accy Sunday league team.

I'm confused, why are we after 34 forwards?! Did someone tell Kean "the best form of defence is attack"?

Have we signed Hendry as a coach or a player?

Are we really going to get out of this league with Scott Dann, Grant Hanley, Bradley Orr and Adam Henley? Well yes, but the wrong way I'd say

This power struggle between the owners over signings is nothing new - although its the 1st one that has come to light this transfer window.

Previously there has been the well document Pavone/Goodwillie saga when SK/JA wanted Pavone and our other owners Venkies didnt, firstly because they thought he was too old and past it and secondly because he had 3rd party ownership issues (a fact that didnt seem to bother SK/JA).

Also Alan Nixon and others reported at the time that the SV purchase was completely without SK being told about it at all - the first he was aware of it was AFTER Vukevic had put pen to paper.

Problem is that the aftermath on both of these signings is that both Goodwillie and Vukevic seem to have been penalised by Kean out of spite by not getting there fair share of game time - on occasion, probably to the detriment of the team.

Didn't Danny Murphy sign on the promise of some exciting signings to come during the close season ( sounds like the yarn spun to Samba last year)...
and didn't Shebby say that he wanted all the transfer business done before preseason training started?
Same old twaddle.
Why have no defenders been mentioned when all we read is Southampton (who were in League 1 when Venkys took over) are after Dann and Olson and Everton are after Hanley)?
It's a complete shambles just like last preseason.
Still, I can't wait to get to Ipswich with my son and girls!

Because for most of the fans staying away it is too late to get behind the team. A team built by Kean who does not know what the hell he is doing..
as he has proved time and time again and will continue to do so this coming season until the powers that be realise how useless he is and get rid!
We stay away fans have just had enough of him and cannot stand by and watch our club systematically destroyed, without at lest making our feeling known in the only way left open to us and that is a total boycott of t ground whilst Kean is there.

some just seem so clouded with venom for kean and/or venkys that nothing whatsoever matters.
i think it's a bit sad really. of course it's sad that the club has taken a downturn since venky's started. but it is equally as sad that some won't support the team until they have somehow 'gone'.
what does that really mean? so far we have a respectable attempt to get the club into fan ownership, but that's a way away from being a reality. no other offers appear to have been made (not publically anyway) and venky's have said they don't want to sell.
personally, i think some of the latest moves have been a step in the right direction, so can be applauded. they haven't got rid of kean at this point, so we may as well just accept that. i do believe the arrival of shebby means performance will be under greater scrutiny, but we cannot be certain. i would prefer never to find out simply by the fact that if we do well, then kean won't be under any further pressure. some people don't seem to want that... that's sad.

HONEST JOHN'S FLEETWOOD MATCH REPORT...

DUNN - Too slow & Too fat - GET REAL DUNNY ITS OVER !!!!
JORGE - Prefers to pass back or flat / Not Gattuso by any stretch KEAN and not good enough for Chamionship yet !!!
MURPHY - Good long passes but little energy seen today
EDINHO - Young teenager - NOT good enough or strong enough - NO
NUNES - Young teenager - NOT good enough or strong enough - NO
NUNO GOMES - Decent performance / Good goal / Time will tell if he can last pace & energy of the Chamionship - JURY's OUT
BEST - Strong / Powerful / Good Touch - Liked him a lot - YES !!!!
RIBIERO - Poor / Weak / NOT fit to clean Irwin's dirty boots - PLS LEAVE
DANN - Poor positioning often & puts players under pressure with poor passes - LEAVE ASAP
FORMICA - Nobody came in for you & on this strenth NO-ONE WILL

I must talk about Ruben ROCHINA .. He was told to warm up by KEAN and BRUNSKILL ... and then saw the young teenagers brought on instead. Ruben is a skillful young player who now has a full season in the Premiership on his ticket .. He needs a chance ... Give it to him ..

KEAN you are a "HIJO DE PUTA" for the way you treat this young man ..
He does not complain when he has every right to .. PLAY HIM or let him make a successful career elsewhere .. He doesnt need your lack of judgement ruining his chances to make it in football !!!!

KEAN OUT
VENKYS OUT
HENDRY OUT
BRUNSKILL OUT
AGNEW OUT

roverfoxy, you are wasting your time. No matter what the story there are the same people over and over again churning the same boring stuff out everytime. Kean out and so on blah blah blah. As I have said before we all want Kean out but I wish some people would just comment on the story and not the same BORING BORING Kean out rubbish. Surely every Rovers supporter wants Best to be ok and give the team a better chance going forward. Even Dangerous Dave, Lanc Pensioner and Morst you must all agree with that surely.
the boring boring kean out will never stop you idiot he is the problem,its the half empty kean luvies like you who think people will forget wats gone on at ewood over the last 18 months forgive and forget is not an option

Leon Best could be a useful striker in the Championship but he's never going to be a class act. I'd quite like to see Nuno Gomes and Goodwillie up front - Gomes playing as the pivot player like Raul, and Goodwillie running into the channels and in-behind.

Like others have said above. Can we discuss matters on the pitch for a change?

doe's anybody think Steve Kean is making any of these signings??? I don't, his power has certainly eased following the Venkys new back-room management - the focus of the future for BRFC will be evident in the first ten games..any thing less than 7 wins and those holding breath for a new manager may well let out a loud burp,,,,

It would be an improvement if when Goodwille starts the season, he doesnt limp around the pitch like a cripple.
-
The other problem with Goodwillie of course, is that Karl Pilkington doesnt like playing him, because he was brought above his head.

Benal13 it would appear it is you that is the idiot my man.
Read what I wrote and you may want to rephrase what you wrote.
I believe Kean is a nightmare and needs replacing.
I did not say we should forget what has happened over the past 18 months.
Unfortunately it is people like you that start calling people names and being abusive that are always on here calling for Kean to go. Over and over and over again. IT IS BORING!!!!!!
My point was to pass comment on the story above not to just bleat on about Kean must go.
In this case pass comment about Best.
Try your best now Benal13 to understand this next bit.
We all want Kean out but some of us want to support Blackburn Rovers the team as well
Why not if you are so disenchanted with BRFC as well as not going to the games / not renewing season tickets, why dont you stop coming on here and let supporters have a decent debate without name calling

But the Lancashire Telegraph understands that other members of the club’s hierarchy are not ready to give the deal the green light, believing there may be better options elsewhere, so the interest in Cox is currently unlikely to be pursued.

Why, oh why, is the LT's reporting always like this ? Which other members ? It's not like you are going to get sued if you mention names.

He may as well sign for someone else. Gollum doesn't play him when I, for one, think he has great potential.

'FOREVER BLUE AND WHITE' - some people will not renew their season ticket whilst KEAN is in charge some will - that is an individuals choice - but all still rovers fans and entitled to a say on this web site!!! It could be said that those renewing their season tickets are only fueling Keans idiotic Management of the Rovers along with keeping him and his cronies in a job.
Regarding todays article it is in two pieces - a view on 'Best' and a view on the ' chaotic' transfer rumors surrounding the Rovers which is the piece I have commented on!!
So please let people have there say without you ridiculing them like some others do!!
And as usual my stance has not changed OUT WITH KEAN AGNEW HENDRY VENKYS SINGH

Kean says he is talking to Cox in the next two days or so,the hierarchy more or less say he isn't,who is the hierarchy this mysterious band of people for goodness sake one is contradicting the other in the next sentence,like I say you can't believe anything that comes out their mouths.i hope Best is alright but he didn't exactly have a injury free time at Newcastle.Kean is a real jinx on the club from day one.

Leon Best's injury is not good news but why are we after Cox? With the strikers we have already I would think we would be ok in the championship, especially Rochina. My order would be;
Best
Gomes
Goodwillie
Rochina
Formica
Junior

I think even with Best's injury the other 4 maybe be able to cover his absence. Kean just needs to grow some and realise what talent Goodwillie and Rochina will have at championship level and be a man (big ask) and play these players!

I'd actually start with Rochina. He may have been played out wide, or sometimes behind Yakubu last season, but he's got what it takes to be an out and out striker. He's quick, skilful and has a great finish.
