Rovers Raid France
By: Jimmy | January 19th, 2009
A report found in today’s “Mirror” (click here for link) has Rovers linked with Metz Senegalese striker Babacar Gueye. It also reports, as had some papers last week, that Rovers were scouting out Nancy right back Jean Calve who has been in the media saying that Blackburn was interested in him.(Click here for link to Calve story.) Nothing final for either gentleman though yet.
All this after earlier signing Givet on loan till the end of the season; one has to wonder if the scouts are getting a serious cut from the agents of these players. Just kidding, but it’s just a bit odd to see so many moves coming out of the same region of France. AKA the east. Marseille isn’t really close to Nancy or Metz. However it’s promising to see the squad being bolstered a little, although no superstars. Depth and reliability is the name of the game though the Janko-replacement-for-Roque rumor doesn’t seem to be going away despite Italian club Palermo’s £7million bid. I’m still not too sure how much validity that one holds though as Celtic and other clubs are said to be trying to sign the Austrian striker.
No matter what, I just hope we get another right sider, hopefully midfielder as I’m still not convinced by Emo and think he’s better at RB.

If these frenchman are cheap and effective, such as Samba, then I’m all for it. Depth is never a bad thing. I also prefer Emo as a RB but he certainly wasn’t a slouch in Midfield. In my opinion he was Rovers’ top performer during the dark days of Ince’s reign.

You’re right about him not being slouch but I think we’re on the same page with him being better at RB. He quick to cover, closes down the angles well and is an attacking threat behind a good RM on attacks. He’s done a decent job but deffo not the preferred right mid for me.
