A Signing To Come Soon?

With Russian Pavel Pogrebnyak out of the running and all leads looking dead, a surprise candidate has emerged out of the blue.

21 year old Croatian International Nikola Kalinic is the leading contender to be signed at Ewood Park now. Reports coming from The Mirror and the Lancashire Telegraph have both confirmed the striker talking to Rovers today, with Rovers looking to steal the deal from Portsmouth, who couldn’t come up with the transfer money Hajduk Split wanted in the first installment. So what’s the CV of this Kalinic guy?

First off, the guy’s tall. Like 6 ft 11⁄2 in tall. Nice to have up front. Internationally he played U 17, U19, U21 and now has made two appearances in the Senior Squad for Croatia. Between 2005 and 2009, Kalinic scored 32 times in 58 appearances for Split in the Croatian top flight, the Prva HNL. So he’s young, tall, and knows how to score. Sounds exactly like the profile for a striker the Rovers need right now. Having said that, before today I have never heard of him. So has anyone else? What’s your thoughts on this sudden development? Let me know! UP THE ROVERS!!!
