Comments on: The Long Summer and Its Speculations http://blackburn.theoffside.com/uncategorized/the-long-summer-and-its-speculations.html News from Blackburn Rovers English Premiership football team Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:47:30 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jim http://blackburn.theoffside.com/uncategorized/the-long-summer-and-its-speculations.html#comment-2988 Jim Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:55:17 +0000 http://blackburn.theoffside.com/uncategorized/the-long-summer-and-its-speculations.html#comment-2988 Mike, I too doubted the initial rumors about MH leaving, but like you said, I guess they showed us. The new Rovers online shop is set to be open in a few weeks and if the information I've heard is any sort of accurate then it will be a lot more easy to access and navigate; as well as have a larger selection of Rovers memorabilia. I'll be posting something on it when it opens, as well as when the new kits come out. I always try to order from the official online store so all the money goes to the club, but thats just me. :-) Mike, I too doubted the initial rumors about MH leaving, but like you said, I guess they showed us.

The rumors are driving me crazy! I did not take that stuff too seriously until Hughes flew the coop. I thought that was all talk and could not have been more wrong! I bought a shirt with Bentley last season. Let's hope it is still good. Like you B I have my eyes on a Roque shirt this year but will hold off. By the way, where do you get your stuff? I've not seen a keeper shirt for Rovers offered at the on-line store I've been using, and would not mind getting one if I knew where With you, Bmatthews and Jim, on all you said.

I busted that post out quickly, sorry for the confusion. Agreed! I love the strength we have up front plenty of power and skill, we need a tough CB who can control the best players in the world (a tall order to be sure) but thats what we need to be a top side.

Great post. One of the worst things in the world is when you get a number and name on a kit and the player leaves in that window. My advice: wait until after the winter window closes. ;-) I think Big Brad is one of the best in the Prem between the sticks and would be gutted to see some other gentleman, who's just as old basically, taking his place. Until age shows its taking a toll then we'll talk, but the man is immense. I'm not sure who this 'D' is you're referencing, bit I agree we do need another mid. And someone to bolster the defense. Striking can never hurt to improve but if we hope Benni just had a sophomore slump and RSC doesn't get one, with the way Roberts ended the term and Derbs I can't say we're in poor shape there.

I just went over to football365 and was gonna paste that Cudicini rumor under the last comments and see what people thought. I love Fridel! I think he is my favorite Rover (being an American keeper myself...no favoritism there), this would really REALLY hurt. This transfer window can't close soon enough, I want to invest in the new home kit (Crown Paints over Bet24...sure why not) but don't want to snag that Roque shirt and find out he'll be riding the pine at some "big" club. The lime-green Fridel number 1 never interested me (but if they could make the keeper shirt half as nice-looking as Barca's new one I would buy 3 of them). ALSO! Who are we going to sign while the window is open?! Have to be thinking D maybe a decent distributing center mid? Thoughts? phew, this is what happens when I can't read posts for a week and the job is UNBEARABLE What a great day!
