Bastardo, thought this one was a go-er, where are Bolton supposedly gettin' this money from? This kid and Veloso, ya wah?!

Wigan have just signed a Mex whose average was 1 goal per 2 games and for 3.5 mill. So perhaps there are still some goodish deals out there.

But we have no money.

The feller Wigan have bought is a genuine [Poor language removed]-hot talant. They'll probably score more goals now Email Heskey has done one.

Hugo Rodagella is alright, he'd do a lot better in France than here, so it's a case of 'wait and see....' OH GOD

 

[TsarDiniyar]

We're ******* [Poor language removed] us, he says he was close to joining but couldnt agree terms financially. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[TsarDiniyar]

I'd I bet that it wasnt him being greedy, it was us offering patronisingly low figures as usual.

 

[Goat]

From what i can read, we couldnt agree a fee with his Club, ie Zenit. With him saying he had 1 foot at the club, i think personal terms had been agreed, hes out of contract next year, they cant have wanted that much for him..........

 

[Sasha]

I wanted never to see Pogrebnyak in Everton!

 

[Desaparecido]

Dont worry everyone, Nuno's got a good feeling for this saturday night. We'll have to get him to do the midweek one aswell.

Zenit seem to be terrible at these things. Arshavin the biggest one over the summer. Was going to any top club but Zenit couldnt agree a fee for him that were always more than the clubs were willing to pay.

They're owned by Gazprom - with their annual net income of over $15b, they really aren't bothered about an extra few million they may lose in transfers.

Why sell if they don't have to?...

Well a week left lets see!

I understand that but the Arshavin thing went on for ages with Madrid and Barcelona all wanting dibs on him, he came out and said I want to leave, Zenit kept slapping his price up. They're doing the same with Arsenal right now.

Pogrebnyak Had 'One Foot At Everton'

From Yesterday but dont recall it being mentioned?

Prem: Pogrebnyak on Everton | Setanta

Zenit St Petersburg striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has admitted he was close to a move to Everton.
The Russia international, whose colleague Andrei Arshavin is the subject of a protracted transfer to Arsenal, was close to beating his pal to a move to England.
Pogrebnyak, who shone in last season's Uefa Cup, revealed that a possible switch to Goodison Park collapsed when the financial terms of the transfer could not be agreed.
Bolton Wanderers and Bayern Munich have also enquired about the highly-rated target man.
"I have a contract with Zenit that is valid for another year," he told Sport Express.
"I want to play at this club and win new titles with them. So all the talk about me moving anywhere I would ask to end.
"Negotiations on this matter [a new contract] are continuing.
"About Bolton, I heard most recently of them for the first time. But Everton's interest was quite serious. One could even say that I had one foot already there.
"But, as I said then, in the end they had to buy me but did not find the funds. Maybe the [global financial] crisis intervened, maybe something else, but the fact remains that the deal did not materialise. Bayern Munich also enquired to Zenit but, as far as I know, they replied that they will not sell me.
"I am a big fan of the English Premier League. My dream is to play there."

Blackburn are set to seal a deal for Russian star Pavel Pogrebnyak, according to his club Zenit St Petersburg.

The 25-year-old has already been targeted by Everton and Bolton this month, but neither have been able to agree terms for the striker.

Now Rovers have come in with a bid that is very close to Zenit's valuation and they appear ready to do business with the player's current contract due to expire in November.

"Yesterday [Tuesday], Blackburn officials contacted us and made an offer for Pogrebnyak," president Maxim Mitrofanov confirmed to Sovietsky Sport.

"Their offer is almost the same as our valuation.

"If they send us the offer officially in time, we will contact Pogrebnyak and will persuade him to go to England."

Pogrebnyak, who has scored 28 goals in 51 games for Zenit, has admitted he would relish the chance to make the switch to the Premier League.

"I am a huge fan of the English Premier League, to play there is my dream," he told Sport Express.

The news of Blackburn's interest in Pogrebnyak is sure to add further weight to speculation that Rovers will relent over

Manchester City's pursuit of their own striker Roque Santa Cruz.
