  • "So this was the cherry on the cake signing, the meat on the bones, the foil for Danny murphy. I thought we were talking about a 3 million pound player and Rovers offered 750k for the missing piece of the jigsaw?
    So we sell asmba for 12 and even taking into account a 25% hertha berlin sell on clause would give us 8 million. So we offer 750k to supplement a free transfer? Abd before any of you say the 8 million is including any wage, were we not paying samba before he went?
    Any more badly fitting attire available from the cheap rack?"

Blackburn Rovers chase for Silva is off

BLACKBURN Rovers’ long-running chase for Portuguese midfielder Adrien Silva is finally over after Sporting Lisbon turned down their £750,000 bid for him.

The 23-year-old’s future had been uncertain for several weeks now, with the player and Sporting locked in talks about a new deal, leaving Rovers hopeful of securing his signature.

Rovers’ offer had been on the table for more than a fortnight but yesterday’s rejection will see the Ewood Park outfit give up their hunt.

Meanwhile want-away midfielder Steven Nzonzi is still expected to join Sevilla on a season long loan imminently, after Rovers agreed to his temporary exit.

The club remain open to any permanent offers for him but, with no-one likely to meet their valuation of up to £10million, a loan switch to Sevilla remains the likely option.
