[Sparky Marky]

Permanent ??

[cmb211087]

Loan

[bats]

Permanent ??

Cryer is saying it is a loan on twitter

[davulsukur]

Does this do anything for Rovers in terms of incoming transfers?

[budha]

Reading probably pays him whatever we pay Modeste, so they cancel each other out.

[Hughesy]

Loan just protects Reading as they can then decide in summer wether or not to offer him a contact once his current deal with us expires.

[LeChuck]

I can't imagine Reading will be paying all of his wages, there is no way they could afford it. We'll be lucky to get 50% I would imagine.

Still, it's better than paying him full whack to play "young vs old" with the youth team on match days.

They have just been taken over so hopefully they are

Hardly the most useful stats then are they?

At leas it spurred Hughesy into acquiring the PL stats hinself. While your post contributes exactly what?. Though not upto date the nine games since, Formica has started 6 with three sub appearances while Hoilett has started 3, of course he had injuries, but as I said it will hardly have changed much.

In those games one stat, the rest I'm sure you capable of finding yourself.

Pass completion Formica is still around the 80% while Hoilett is around the 73%.

We need both for the rest of the season that is quite apparent, shame the top brass don't see it.

not yet lol - do you have access to it?

McDermott, who is expected to have funds available to spend following the investment of Thames Sports Investment, has now made his move and is believed to have agreed a fee with Blackburn for the Grenada international.

Sky's wording would indicate a permanent transfer WITH A FEE.

Nicko has just tweeted: Surprise arrival at Blackburn. Happy days

[budha]

Jerome is back?

Edit: a right back apparently, but another club in for him as well.

[sharpysharps]

Based on a few tweets between fans and Nicko it sound slike it could be a full back that is the surprising arrival. Maybe the Venky's brazilian bloke has convinced Roberto Carlos to join up

[Puffsan]

Michel bastos would be awesome, but that's not gonna happen

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

'Decent, right back, abroad' according to Nicko.

Roberto Carlos isn't a bad shout the way we are operating at the moment.

Probably Cafu.

[Kamy100]

I don't know the name of the right back but it's a loan deal and should be done by the end of the day. 1 out, 1 in policy.

[AJW]

carlos alberto?

[LeChuck]

Hmm...I'd much rather have a midfielder, if we keep Lowe and Olsson fit for the duration then the full back positions are fine.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Might mean Lowe moving into Midfield LeChuck.

[john.leigh]

Nicko says the new arrival played in the reserves the other day...

[LeChuck]

I've never been impressed with him there though. He's hardly played any senior games in that position, he's not the man to lead a midfield through a relegation battle.

Another Jermaine Jones is what we need.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I think he was talking about Goulon then, not sure.

[briansol]

Might mean Lowe moving into Midfield LeChuck.

Yes, that would be my priority as well. a 17 year old and a midfielder out of position are the only valid choices. Next should be a midfielder, although Petrovic finding his feets helps. still worried about right wing, maybe lowe can do a job there?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

It's Scott Sutter.
