[Archived] Transfer Deadline Day

[Damien]

Is Rochina a loan or sale?

[47er]

So we go the rest of the season with 2 centre-backs?

[chaddyrovers]

lets trust Appleton judgement. ffs.

maybe we will sign CM on loan when the loan market open up again.

[ABBEY]

Why would we sign Lee Williamsson? The player is League One standard?

so is appleton

[Baz]

Why arent we looking for a CH and a CM?

[ABBEY]

Odemwingie has turned up seeking refuge at steve keans house!

[Ruaney]

Luca Toni just bought me a pint in the aqueduct.

[chaddyrovers]

Blackburn Rover's striker Ruben Rochina has joined Real Zaragoza. [Marca]

[Majiball]

You're right - don't know where I got it from that his contract was terminated. Thanks for clearing that up!

Edit: See now that I mixed Slew and Linganzi as Linganzis contract has been terminated (http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/linganzi-leaves-628973.aspx)

Cryer twatted it so little wonder you got the wrong end of the stick.

[LeChuck]

Why would we sign Lee Williamsson? The player is League One standard?

Probably backup for the right wing as we have very few players there. He's played in the Premier League and Championship.

If Appleton has worked with him before and believes he's good enough then I think we should afford him the benefit of the doubt for now. Can't be worse than Jason Lowe out there.

[chaddyrovers]

Why arent we looking for a CH and a CM?

we have.

Centre back we tried for were Curtis Davies and Alex Baptiste.

centre mid was Radi Majewski

Ian Dennis‏@Iandennisbbc

Earlier said Blackburn will sign Jerome Thomas from #WBA and now confirmation from @alistairmagowan that DJ Campbell opted for Ewood move

[LeChuck]

BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan reports: "QPR striker DJ Campbell has told me he is set to complete a move to Blackburn."

If Rochina had to go before Campbell could join then I'm delighted that Rochina has gone. Ditto Vukcevic and Thomas.

When the man in the pub comes up to you and tells you if you give him a tenner he'll turn into a hundred quid do you give him the tenner?

More people will start trusting Happy Appy when he earns it on the pitch over time and not cause he talks a good game when you first meet him.

I know you are the eternal optimist but is it possible to have signings better than "let's give him the benefit of the doubt"?

[G Somerset Rover]

People 'delighted' Rochina is moving. Really?! The guys has proved that at worst he is a game changer from the bench.

Some people don't know talent when they see it. Gutted he's going.

Andrew Cryer‏@CryerRovers

Still expecting Campbell and Thomas in, Rochina out. Williamson in another day

Whoopi @#/? doo daa

[RibbleValleyRover]

It's clear what Appleton is trying to do, but I think it's going to fail spectacularly unless he can sort out the central midfield. If people think we can play a solid 4-4-2 with any combination of Dunny, Pedersen, Lowe, Murphy and Etuhu then they are living in a dream world.

[chaddyrovers]

why?

cos I said so.

get behind Appleton. doing well so far with transfers dealings and bringng in own coaching staff and seems to be the man in charge of transfers in and out and not allowing other people at rovers buying players behind the manager back

[Stuart]

idiot

You really need to stop making these posts chaddy.

You are the first to complain if someone speaks out of turn towards you.

[John]

Best transfer window in recent years?

[chaddyrovers]

Hughesy‏@Hughesy84

Rochina gone on a 4 year deal to Real Zaragoza #Rovers #BRFC

[Stuart]

Let's wait til 11pm before we decide that, eh?
