Few teams are thought willing to take a gamble on troubled midfielder Joey Barton but Rovers manager Sam Allardyce was happy to take that risk when he brought Barton to Newcastle during his time in charge on Tyneside

Sam Allardyce has quietly steered Blackburn away from the relegation zone and with his first full season in charge looming, will look to put his stamp on the side. Allardyce has never been one to shirk controversial players and had a habit of making astute signings when at Bolton.

Amr Zaki would be a perfect replacement for Santa Cruz. His scoreless 2nd half of the season with Wigan was mainly because of the impotent offensive mindedness of Steve Bruce. he actually has not missed a chance except the one against man City. his goals were mostly the result of independant creativity that was feasible with heskey on his side than good coaching.
What Sam gonna do with 19 M (from Roque)?

1. With Sam's long ball style... P. Crouch will be a perfect target man for us.

2. I'd also like to see some hardman in our team. We need someone that can do dirty job for us, like Savage or Lucas Neill.

3. We also need another a new Left winger...Gamst lost his rhythm because noone chase him from behind, so we need to put some pressure to him. If Newcastle go down, Nolan may be a good signing.

4. A faster Right back would be a good addition. Andre Ooijer's way too slow and he also plans to run away from Ewood park at the end of this season.

I think that's all we need... 19 M? well, obviously not enough! HA!
