Blackburn Rovers insist McCarthy is not for sale
4:00pm Friday 8th August 2008
By Gary York »
PAUL Ince has re-iterated Blackburn Rovers' stance over striker Benni McCarthy, insisting he is not for sale at any price.
Galatasaray made an official approach for the 30-year-old South African, while Sunderland have also tested Ince’s resolve with their own offer.
The Wearsiders are reportedly willing to spend in the region of £7million to prise McCarthy away from Ewood Park.
However, Ince a huge admirer of McCarthy, is desperate not to lose the former Porto and Celta Vigo man with just eight days to go before the start of the Premier League campaign.

Arsenal Take Ghanaian International Annan On Trial
Submitted by Jake Briggs on Fri, 2008-08-08 15:27. Arsenal Premiership Transfer News
Arsenal have taken Ghanaian International Anthony Annan on a weeks trial at the Emirates Stadium, following the midfielder being put through his paces at Ewood park with Blackburn Rovers.
22-year-old Annan currently plays for Norwegian side IK Start, but was on loan at Stabaek from January in the Tippeligaen. With the abrasive midfielder attracting attention from Chelsea and Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
However due to Start’s relegation from the Tippeligaen last season, Annan has declared his desire for a move away from the Sor Arena.
Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille have also shown interest in the Ghanaian, but no firm offer has arrived from the Stade Velodrome. With Annan spending a week on trial at Blackburn recently.
Now reports in the Norwegian media are claiming that the Gunners are to hand Annan a weeks trial at their London Colney training ground, where he will work with the reserves in a bid to earn a deal at the Emirates.
