From the official twitter account of FC Schalke

Blackburn Rovers have made an official enquiry for Raul. Schalke will hold talks with the player this evening.
 
Schalke's manager Ralf Rangnick's not the biggest fan of Raul and I wouldn't be surprised if he does indeed move to Blackburn.

Good signing for Blackburn, should it happen. He still has the knack of scoring the odd wonder goal, his technique is still great.
 
Bolton also in the frame for him

Schalke gen.manager Horst Heldt has told Bild that Bolton have bid for Raul & would “meet w/Raul & his agent today to talk about it.” #bwfc

His wages would be a problem, I think.
 
Why do people entertain these Blackburn speculations. When have they ever bought a decent players the last 10 years?
 
Raul chickened out. No doubt he'd have been exposed on a cold night at the brittania.
 
Santa Cruz was a great signing, Robinson is a very good goalkeeper for a team like Blackburn, McCarthy was decent too and Andy Cole was a good signing too.

It was a rhetorical question. You named 4 people and not a great bunch either. My point stands.

That was before the new owners took over.

Blackburn will be run so prudently over the course of their ownership they'll end up running it into the ground. They are not football people.

You bloody got that one right. They're bird people. Talks like bird, thinks like bird, looks like people.

Oh and Raul to Blackburn? For the sake of humanity I for one am glad that didn't pan out.
