\"We currently have 3 individuals in Thessaloniki discussing Vierinha they went out there Friday, and had talks in athens and spoke with the player on the phone and he has indicated he would be keen to come.
PAOK Are in a few financial difficulties and are seeking investment, but selling their best player would not be seen as a good way to get new investors to the table and it would have a big back lash from their fans.
My sources tell me that a bid of 3,65 mil euros cash and 500.000 euros in bonuses was made. Moreover they offered to pay the 13% of a total 33% which Porto have retained in Vierinha´s rights (when they sold him to PAOK), and allow Porto to keep the other 20% when Rovers (hopefully) re-sell Vierinha. And finally, Rovers accepted to pay all the taxes.
However this is still 500k less than PAOK Want should they agree to sell the player. They need the money but its the knock on effect of investment which worries them.
On Goodwillie Gavin Gunning was offered as part of the deal but he turned it down, WHY i aint sure, this has had more twist n turns than a barclays card advert so i dnt really want to get into it, as sources i use have conflicting stories and the people at Rovers even appear to be a little in the dark to the ins n outs.
Park-Chu-Young as Kammy has already mentioned on here and on the good podcast the guys did over the weekend seems to favour a move to Liverpool, I´m told a bid was lodged but it was a token bid and no-where near the players valuation, The player has indicated he wants Liverpool move, and a lot will depend on Liverpool if they put a bid in.
Mongondu- Is a deal which seems to have been around forever and news on him is expected by Wednesday/Thursday according to some sources i use, Rovers are being coy over him so its difficult to gauge the vibes there, but it is expected to happen.
The other players we are in the market for and have made enquires/bids (Rovers being very coy on using the word Bid)I´m expecting a serious step up on these this week, A lot depends on the other active things in the pipeline, plus we need to cull a few players from our squad still.
One player who has been suggested from a few reliable sources is Modibo Maiga, He currently plays for Sochaux in France, now i´m lead to beleive he could be costly, but i dnt know too much about the player, and why he could be costly as he aint someone who I can recall being hot property.
Andy Johnson is a player we reportedly approached Fulham for last week and they were keen to do a deal, but only when they have signed a replacement, I have not had this confirmed by BRFC but it did come from a source who has a good track record.
Podolski- This is still up in the air and we are watching developments on the player, to date no bid has been lodged, and he seems to have visited the quck more times than Grella this summer, which would be a concern although they are minor things. He won´t be cheap but with the other targets they are moving for It would appear unlikely they would opt for him if the other came off as he could not really be that lead line front man.
Valdez/Barrios- Both these players rovers had an interest in before Copa America, Last time i heard, Valdez´s agent was in Lancashire, but I presume that was talking to Wigan, If Rovers re-ignite their interest in him it may get interesting. Barrios would be costly and his scoring record is immense, it would take some convincing to get hin at Blackburn and following Rovers gamble to wait until after the Copa America he may just now be too expensive for our budget after Paraguays success at the tournament.
Raul- Been told that this is just not going to happen from people I trust and are reliable, however some other sources still think it could be on the cards so on that basis its one I will leave alone.
Will try and keep things updated if no-one else post anything which you may like to know, but i think Kammy ect have got things pretty up to speed here already, and there is not much to add to it \"
