Blackburn Offered Juan Roman Riquelme On The Cheap
By Chris Wright
Blackburn, in their relentless search for a ‘marquee’ signing, have reportedly been offered the services of Boca Juniors stalwart (and light of legendary Gol TV commentator Ray Hudson’s life) Juan Roman Riquelme on the cheap.
Riquelme’s agent Barry McIntosh (you can almost smell the pinstripes) told the Lancashire Telegraph:
“I have spoken with (middle man) Jerome Anderson, who is doing a lot of work for Blackburn Rovers, about a deal for Riquelme and it is being thought about.
“He could prove a great alternative to Ronaldinho, but there is nothing definite yet.”
Now, aside from the inescapable fact that Riquelme is linked with a move to the Premier League in each and every single transfer window, wouldn’t it be awesome to see the venerable pass-master plying his silky trade over ‘ere?
It’d be like having Tugay back.

i.e. not a good match
pfft tugay? tugay times a thousand maybe. villareal cf was built entirely around him when he was there.
I say bring him on but you do wonder if he’s going to pull a tevez and get all homesicky. He returned to argentina in 2007 because of a family matter if i’m remembering it right.

No, his poor attitude led Pellegrini to get rid of him.
