    murphy has become exactly the kind of player we need, and i don't think the age issue is as valid as it once was. yes the game is potentially more demanding than it once was, but fitness levels have become much better than they once were to compensate. murphy is about controlling the ball through intelligent passing, and lord knows we need a bit of intelligence and composure in our game. if we manage to retain people like nzonzi, then i would say he could learn a great deal from someone like murphy.
    he's not the greatest player to play the game, but given our options, i think its a good signing.
    ...and i know it doesn't make up for the damage previously done, but nothing can unless someone has a time machine handy. the damage is in the past. all we can do now is welcome any inprovements to the situation and the team.
    I agree...I like ALL Rovers fans will never forget that Kean took us down and would rather he wasn't at our club. The fact is, he's going to be around at least until Christmas.
    We'll lose Junior so need a dynamic attacker to replace him.
    best can replace Yak
    Dann can go but we need at least one more central defender.
    If we can keep Nzonzi and Kean can motivate him (lol) he is a class above the Chumpionship
    Also, I actually think Olsson will stay at least 1 season, or at least till Dec 1 ...we need him to dive for another pen at Turf Moor!
    Come on you Blues!!
    Murphy is a good signing - end of.

    Out of interest who would be your choice for central defender?

    and Im still chuckling about that tackle on Kean from Peders and that dubious corner where he passed the ball to himself .. lol

    it wasnt all bad last season :)

    P
    IT WASNT ALL BAD LAST SEASON WHAT PLANET WHERE YOU ON THEN
    You are actually conversing with Steve Kean there, so you're deluded if you going to get anything negative.

    It's all positive innit Angrlus; one step backwards, two steps forward etc etc. I can't believe your positivity is the reason for your continued employment though. What is the truth Steve?
    i agree.....talk to the fans stevie boy....time to man up
    I see the boys club at work again..

    whats wrong EDL?

    Indian ownership giving you sleepless nights.

    tough.
    Jesus you are a despicable individual Steve.

    Trying to suggest EDL or racist undertones for people's comments, and tarring all concerned fans with a racist brush. I didn't think you could get any lower Steve but here you are proving us wrong time and again.

    You don't even know me. For all you know I could be black. I have certainly never given anything away either way. Don't suggest anyone is racist therefore when you don't even know the first thing about them or their views.

    The best case for you was if the Rovers fans were completely divided. In your head it could then be an us and them situation, between those who are going to attend and those boycotting. That's the best you can hope for from support from Blackburn fans; getting those who are going to attend to dislike those boycotting, seeing them as the enemy not you, and then you could be perhaps liked in some way.

    So that is why you are trying to damnest to create division.

    Do you not care that you are creating real conflict between fellow fans though? Do you care so little about them that you are willing to make their lives unpleasant by doing so, because all you care about is your own greedy selfish ends?

    Like I said; how low are you Steve Kean? You certainly don't have the Rovers fans interests at heart. That's as plain as the nose on your face."

Danny's the boy for Rovers, says Singh

SIGNING Veteran Danny Murphy SIGNING Veteran Danny Murphy

DANNY Murphy will prove a “very important signing both on and off the field” for Blackburn Rovers, according to new global advisor Shebby Singh.

Rovers confirmed Murphy’s two-year deal yesterday morning, with his Fulham contract expiring, as their Championship preparations finally began in earnest.

The 35-year-old midfielder has said the ambitions of owners Venky’s and boss Steve Kean lured him to Ewood Park, despite significant Premier League interest.

Singh declined to comment on other transfer speculation, but the Lancashire Telegraph understand Newcastle United striker Leon Best is next on Rovers’ radar.

A price in the region of £3million is already understood to have been agreed with the Magpies and Best is expected to hold talks with the club in the next couple of days.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is believed to have also given Rovers permission to speak to midfielder Dan Gosling about a potential loan deal.

Another player understood to be on Rovers’ radar is Scottish international striker Steven Naismith, who now claims to be a free agent due to Rangers’ financial problems.

Murphy turned down lucrative offers from Premier League sides QPR and West Ham United to complete his Rovers switch as owners Venky’s look to prove their fierce critics wrong.

Singh said: “It is a good signing for the club. He is a player who will bring calm and composure to the midfield.

“Not only is he a good player, he is very, very good in organising the team. We have got a player with vast experience and who will help the players around him.

“He has the ability to improve players around him on the pitch. He will very important for the club both on and off the pitch.”

The former England international midfielder has surprised many by opting to drop out of the Premier League, with a number of top flight clubs understood to be tracking him.

But, after talks with Rovers’ supremo Singh and boss Kean on Friday, he insists he was in no doubt Ewood Park was the right place to move.

Murphy said: “I am absolutely delighted to be signing for Blackburn Rovers.

“When meeting Steve Kean I soon realised the passion, enthusiasm and ambition he has for the club and how much he wants the team to bounce straight back up to the Premier League.

“His desire to get me to the club was a huge factor in my decision to join. The owners were also very passionate about their desire to move Blackburn forward as a club and create a squad that is able to achieve promotion.

“I’m excited about my new challenge and can’t wait to get started. Now, my new challenge is to help Blackburn get promoted and repay the manager’s and the owners’ faith in me.”

Kean added: “Being able to bring Danny on board is a massive boost. He is a model professional, who has a real hunger to keep on playing football.

"This is a pivotal signing for us.”
