Faty gets Blackburn Rovers chance

ROMA midfielder Ricardo Faty will start a trial at Blackburn Rovers next week as they are forced to play the waiting game in their search for a striker.
The French defensive midfielder is expected to meet up with Rovers at Brockhall in the next few days, once Sam Allardyce’s squad have returned from the Sydney Festival of Football.
Faty will be given a chance to impress, with a couple more trialists set to follow, and is expected to feature in one of Rovers’ games in Scotland next weekend, either against Hearts on Saturday or Celtic on the Sunday.
Faty, 23, made his Champions League debut for the Italian giants back in 2006 when he man-marked Brazilian ace Rivaldo in his side’s 1-0 win over Olympiacos.
He made 19 appearances in his first season in Serie A, being dubbed ‘the new Patrick Vieira’ in some quarters, before spending the next two seasons on loan with Bayer Leverkusen in Germany and French outfit Nantes.
The Frenchman is now eyeing a route out of Roma, after limited first team opportunities, and will arrive at Brockhall on Monday, with several other clubs interested in him.

after everything with andranik, heskey & benjani & co thought things were looking bad transfer wise....
but Faty is a rather decent player... not injury prone like grella and young enough to have a decent run in the first team squad... and yeah cant see many shirts selling unless for the comedy effect :P

The club have just shot themselves in the foot here. they say they have not be contacted by galatasary about grella to keep it quiet and them go anounce they are taking a player who is a player in the same postion as grella on trail.
To some it up they have had a bid for grella.

Blackburn Rovers are reported to be pouncing for Portsmouth’s Nigeria striker John Utaka, with the player set to be offloaded by the club on a cut-price deal.
Utaka is likely to cost around £1m, with wages of around £35,000 per week, making the deal within Rovers’ frustratingly tight budget

We didnt know a great deal about Nelsen, Samba, Givet, Nzonzi or Kalinic, well I didnt. We cant really afford to buy well known players who are good.

at 23 , this fits nicely with the blending in of younger players.
if others are defending , it lets Nzonzi get forward , who has got a shot in him.
