Kazim-Richards looks to make it Turkish delight at Blackburn Rovers
9:42am Saturday 4th August 2012 in News
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
TURKISH international Colin Kazim-Richards will bid to earn a Blackburn Rovers move in tomorrow's pre-season friendly against NEC Nijmegen.
The 25-year-old can play either as a winger or a striker and will start a Rovers trial against the Dutch outfit, having recently been on trial at West Ham United.
The Galatasaray winger has played for Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United in England earlier in his career before moving to Turkey. He spent last season on loan at Olympiacos.

They have deliberately used Blackburn Rovers to push their recognition in this country through the roof, for this reason, I believe to them the football is secondary at the moment whilst they keep up with demand for chicken.
They have detached themselves from the fans and deliberately not spent where a little more would make a big difference, because they are concentrating on their bigger picture, themselves.
To put a senior representative of the company out to say they are confused and no follow up to explain is strange.
Mr Kean is well known to be passed his sell by date, but the only one available that will toe the line and very good at convincing the weaker willed ones that they will get it right, he also looks to be trying hard, and most people can't ask for more than that.
These billionaire bafoons don't care to change what has been a disaster for us, because it has paid them handsomely in other ways.
I believe they have probably at least drawn even with their purchase of the club, so could probably walk on when they feel like, leaving a legacy of dissillusioned old folk with long contracts for others to sort out.

I am not a big fan of how they run the club so far but they made 7 signings this summer and we are talking about more, how many have Bolton done this summer?
We can't keep criticing them even when they are trying to do things right.

this is a chap on trial (probably as a backup if the rhodes signing doesn't happen). he may have played for bury, but he's also played at a top level in turkey and greece, so which is most important. it would be very rare for a player to start stay and finish off all at the top level. he gets a few international starts too.
but most importantly, he has not been signed, so why the vitriol? not a problem to have a look at the lad surely. and if i remember rightly (which i may well not!) i'm sure we had been linked a couple of years ago. not sure under which regime either, but hughes rings a bell.
we don't yet know if rhodes will be coming, and for how much. but we've lodged a bid which i guess will be higher than fulham had a bash for. sure, he may not come, but his reasoning could be any number of things - ambition, comfort, cash, manager, lenght of contract etc. we don't know, so second guessing seems a little pointless.
kean's record suggests he is certainly a loser of sorts, but in terms of this trial, why would he be a loser? and why is singh a bull merchant? your desire to hear direct answers may seem like a small ask, but when it comes to trasnfers i think most clubs like to be at least a little guarded. and rightly so.
you have some decent points to make most of the time which is why people give you sensible responses. that kind of debate is surely better for a forum than simply resorting to ridicule?
sorry, slightly high-horsed there, so apologies for that. but i like decent debate and sometimes on here it has become unreadable.

It must be strange for the Venkys sat there watching the Olympics and seeing people rewarded for success and not failure.
With the introduction of a new Olympic event this year, GB have struck gold thanks to the efforts of the brave Scotsman S Kean. BS Hitting is an event where each contestant tries to outwit their opponent by saying and doing the most unbelievable things, making sure along the way, that no one can tell their lying. Kean has had many years experience of this and won by a country mile. S Singh, a newcomer from Malaysia, tried hard but was no match for our brilliant Kean.
The Venky brothers are doing well in the Hide and Seek event and it’s hard to see how they will be beaten now and should give India their first gold medal.
Meanwhile the BRFC fans can do well, if they can hold their nerve, in the muck spreading event as they endure ton upon ton of manure heaped on them but still come up smiling.

People are saying pre season results don't matter, but I am getting very concerned. Yesterday Ipswich beat West Ham 3 - 1 and Brighton beat Chelsea 3-1 not to mention Burnley winning 4-0 away to Cheltenham.
I know we lose nothing for the defeats we have suffered so far, but I have a horrible feeling we still haven't lost the habit of conceding loads and losing far to easily.
We only have two weeks to go so we need to get things right and quick

Football has too many egos from Sep Blatter all the way down to the grass roots.
There have been individuals from all parts of the British Isles competing and succeeding spectacularly, getting tremendous support from people all over the country in the process. The athletes have worked their buns off to get to this point and whatever their motivation - be it for personal achievement, the team, country or just the town they come from - they are truly dedicated individuals for whom we should all have the utmost respect.
Footballers have one thing and one thing only on their minds; themselves. It's a long time since I've seen one of these new celebrity prima donnas show anything like the emotion seen over the last few days - be it in success or brave defeat.
You could say tennis players have the same self interest at the heart of everything they do but even the usually dour (and I believe proud)Scotsman Andy Murray seems to have got he bug - that's a Scotsman, Craig, not English - and lets face it, they've got a far more serious beef with the English than the Welsh have.
I was deeply relieved the football team got knocked out. It prevented them taking an undeserved place in the celebration of the greatest day in British sporting history.
If ever there was a reason for Great Britain not bothering with a football team ever being entered into the greatest exhibition of sporting excellence and commitment on the planet, it is Bellamy and his cronies pathetic attitude. He can f@ck off and get another tattoo - he should have it across his forehead, although I don't think "sad miserable tw@t" would fit; mind you his head IS big enough.

It's a stupid argument which the media have blown out of proportion. Why isn't there a British national anthem. Why not sing the Welsh or Scottish national anthem sometimes? There's an article on football365 - under Mediawatch - where they point out just how ridiculous Piers Morgan has been acting with regards to this debate. You should read it. The best part of it though is when they point out that Englishman, Bradley Wiggins, didn't sing the national anthem when won gold but Piers Morgan said f*** all about that!

RONNIE CLAYTON good post !! - Blackburn Rovers past reputation for honesty and integrity means nothing to the current 'lying, manipulating regime' - just lining one another's pockets and jobs for the 'boys' with Kean running the show!!
On a separate note Team GB's athletes did us proud yesterday and raised our spirits - they wanted to represent our country, rise to the occasion, 99% of them set a good example to our young people and finally played under our 'national flag and anthem' unlike the 'prima donas' at Cardiff who put on a miserable show, squabbled about playing under our nations flag and anthem, half hearted displays , couldn't rise to the occasion and didn't get a mention in most bulletins later in the evening!!!!!!

People are saying pre season results don't matter, but I am getting very concerned. Yesterday Ipswich beat West Ham 3 - 1 and Brighton beat Chelsea 3-1 not to mention Burnley winning 4-0 away to Cheltenham.
I know we lose nothing for the defeats we have suffered so far, but I have a horrible feeling we still haven't lost the habit of conceding loads and losing far to easily.
We only have two weeks to go so we need to get things right and quick

When this lot took over Rovers their objectives were only clear to them. Now two years down the line they cannot hide what they have done.
They have deliberately used Blackburn Rovers to push their recognition in this country through the roof, for this reason, I believe to them the football is secondary at the moment whilst they keep up with demand for chicken.
They have detached themselves from the fans and deliberately not spent where a little more would make a big difference, because they are concentrating on their bigger picture, themselves.
To put a senior representative of the company out to say they are confused and no follow up to explain is strange.
Mr Kean is well known to be passed his sell by date, but the only one available that will toe the line and very good at convincing the weaker willed ones that they will get it right, he also looks to be trying hard, and most people can't ask for more than that.
These billionaire bafoons don't care to change what has been a disaster for us, because it has paid them handsomely in other ways.
I believe they have probably at least drawn even with their purchase of the club, so could probably walk on when they feel like, leaving a legacy of dissillusioned old folk with long contracts for others to sort out.

And how big of Bellamy and co giving up their time, what heroes. Would they have done it if the games had been in November? Would they have pleaded with their clubs to let them go? Somehow I doubt it.
Mo Farah spent seven months away from his family training for the olympics. Bellamy couldn't spend seven days away from his "body-art" salon or favourite wine bar.
Unfortunately I didn't get any tickets to see any of the olympics so I'm afraid sitting on my ar$e " flicking the buttons on the remote control " is the only option I, along with a lot of others, has.
And where did I say anything about me representing my nation?
If supporting those who were whilst respecting their commitment and effort is a form of "delusion" then so be it; I am happy to live with the burden of being, as you so eloquently observe, a deluded to$$er.

And how big of Bellamy and co giving up their time, what heroes. Would they have done it if the games had been in November? Would they have pleaded with their clubs to let them go? Somehow I doubt it.
Mo Farah spent seven months away from his family training for the olympics. Bellamy couldn't spend seven days away from his "body-art" salon or favourite wine bar.
Unfortunately I didn't get any tickets to see any of the olympics so I'm afraid sitting on my ar$e " flicking the buttons on the remote control " is the only option I, along with a lot of others, has.
And where did I say anything about me representing my nation?
If supporting those who were whilst respecting their commitment and effort is a form of "delusion" then so be it; I am happy to live with the burden of being, as you so eloquently observe, a deluded to$$er.
Like I said, bizarre response.
So get your priorities right, you're not on here calling boy wonder are you you deluded tosser. Whats Mo farrah got to do with Bellamy, when farrah was off training without his family its because his sport demands it. If bellamys sport demanded it he would do the same, you deluded tosser.

"Huddersfield’s hot property striker Jordan Rhodes could be edging closer to a move to Blackburn Rovers.
Rumours are suggesting that the young hitman is keen on a transfer to Ewood, possibly due to the reported £35,000 per week pay packet which is being touted.
While Rhodes may be interested, Huddersfield are sticking to their guns and demanding at least £6m from the promotion hopefuls.
A first bid has been seemingly snubbed by the Terriers, rumoured to be in the region of an initial £4m with bonuses taking the transfer up to £6m if Rovers bounce back to the Premier League.
Whilst this is promising news, there is negotiating and possibly compromising to be done yet – but a glimmer of hope remains for Blackburn with the new season rapidly approaching."

some welsh players opt not to sing "god save the queen" so what? two of the girls that won the pursuit bike thing didn't sing when they got their medals, ditto mo farah. andy murray mumbled it a bit - does that make him good? why single out footballers - its personal choice for christ's sake.
.
i'm english and an athiest and republican - doesn't make me any less patriotic. don't want a royal family so, its inappropriate for me to ask a non-existent god to save someone who i don't think should have the power she does.
.
if you want to force people to sing the national anthem, that is the equivalent of nazi germany or communist north korea. blood and sand - you should be grateful that the national anthem is a matter of personal choice, get a ife and grow up.
