Sinama Pongolle (Blackburn?)

Liverpool have allowed striker Florent Sinama-Pongolle to join Blackburn Rovers on loan until the end of the 2005-06 season.
Blackburn Rovers manager Mark Hughes commented: "We were keen to add to our striking options and we welcome the opportunity to bring Flo here."
 
France Under-21 international Sinama-Pongolle has scored three goals for Liverpool this season and was signed by former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier from Le Havre in the summer of 2003, in a double transfer along with Anthony Le Tallec.
 
Sinama-Pongolle's best moment to date in a red shirt was probably the Olympiacos game in the Champions League at Anfield last season, when he came on as a second half substitute and helped inspire the Reds to the last 16 of the competition.
 
He was to then miss the rest of the 2004-05 season after injuring his knee in the Carling Cup semi-final win at Watford.
 
The Reds striker has played 65 games and scored nine goals for Liverpool.

Seems quite good to me. He'll get first team experiance, and come back a better player. And playing with a team such as Blackburn, he'll realise jsut how good it is at Liverpool, feeding his desire to play at Anfield.

Definitly cannot see it being a permanent move though.

I was a little disappointed when I heard the news to be honest. I hope it is not a sign that he is being marginalised. As for furthering his football education; is Blackburn really the place to further your career ?

Yeah, thought that after posting, he'll come back spitting and biting, same as any other blackbunn player.

I hope he isn't being kicked out by Rafa, Flo-Po's one of our best strikers, and deserves more starts. Hopefully no option to buy on this loan contract.

I agree with Scouser Tommy, i was a bit disappointed whne FSP went, glad its only a temporary thing, he's one of our best strikers, always does the biz when he comes on.  Hope he doesn't take too much notice to Robbie Savage, he'll come back a grizzler.  

anyway Come on you Redmen, we can do Chelsea tomorrow !!    

Excellent. I get to close one of the very first topics posted on this forum.

Been sold for just under £3 million.  Adios.
