Sam sweet on 'world-class' Salgado

14 August 2009 08:25
Right-back Salgado, 33, is in talks with Rovers over a surprise move after he left Real Madrid.[LNB]And Allardyce has identified the player as being in the same mould as Hierro, another veteran Spanish defender who he signed on a short-term deal when manager at the Reebok Stadium.[LNB]"The funds are all gone so we lie with the squad that we've got," Allardyce said.[LNB]"But I would like to add Michel Salgado to that - I think that he's an outstanding player of world-class quality.[LNB]"I think he will do a Fernando Hierro-type job for me, the same as Fernando did for me at Bolton.[LNB]"He (Salgado) came for a test and the test was okay. It just lies with the financial side now which is hopefully going to be okayed by early next week."[LNB][LNB] Blackburn Specials. Click here to bet.
