[Archived] Transfer Deadline Day

[davulsukur]

Dave jones from Wigan will be a decent addition though.

Are we actually signing him?

[USABlue]

Another Appleton @ Pompey style signing. A dingle reject to boot why, why are we bothering bolstering the wage bill with no marks

[adsfortheblues]

I'd still prefer us looking at @#/? central midfielders than @#/? wingers.

Oh come on, we've got enough @#/? central midfielders, lets get some more @#/? wingers in to balance it out

[chaddyrovers]

According to Swedish media, Alexander Kacaniklic just went on loan to Burnley. He would have been great for us, some nice pace down the left wing.

Played under Dyche at Watford last season, so that gives them a edge over us. maybe Appleton tried but decide to play under a manager he knows

A hull reject coming in. Hardly inspiring. Think we are just desperate to get bodies in tbh. WBA won't let Thomas go out on loan so we'll have to wait until the end of the season for him.

Appleton clearly doesn't rate Marcus Olsson.

I agree that Dave Jones would be a very good addition, mind you. Been promoted twice and a very experienced championship player. Type of player we need to get out of this league.

Stewart is only 21 years and has pace. so lets give him a chance. Maybe Appleton has bought him in to have a look before looking to signing him in the summer. tried before you buy.

Think Marcus Olsson is a decent backup but clearly doesnt rate Pedersen who I think will leave in the summer.

Agree with Jones comments.

Underwhelming and a bit pointless in my opinion

We aren't going up, just give Nunes some time

Think Nunes hasnt impress Appleton and will leave in the summer.

[T.J.Newton]

Cant help thinking Appleton is moving out any player that doesn't speak English well(whether this is the right or wrong thing to do, I don't know!), Maybe we could hire Kean as a translator.

[chaddyrovers]

Think Appleton want a British Nationality or at least players experience with British football Squad. I agree with this policy

[neophox]

Burnley has made a awesome signing in Kacaniklic, couldnt Believe it.....don't know anything about Stewart.......

Jones would be a good signing if happens...

Think Appleton want a British Nationality Squad. I agree with this policy

Have you see Kacaniklic play?

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers tried for Ross Barkley from Everton but they said no

[neophox]

Saw a video and Stewart do have pace....but we'll see, goes straight in to the squad for tomorrow.

!!!are you serious!!!

English speaking yes, entirely UK-don't be ridiculous.

always great too have a good bunch of uk players, but even the uk national teams struggle to get good teams together.

I see, but I still think its just a daft idea too only sign players that have played in England, surely part of being a good manager/coach/scout is too spot quality regardless of the country they play in or the level they are playing at.

Cameron Stewart: Blackburn Rovers sign Hull winger on loan

Ooops, already posted. it pays to read first

I somewhat agree but this is what I think Appleton is trying to do. didnt say I would personally tho

[Rover_Shaun]

Just like we did with Rhodes where we balanced up his goalscoring prowess by signing a crap striker on loan who couldn't score in a brothel

[bazza]

Hull fan here - he's not very good. He's lightweight, can't go past a man, can't cross to save his life and never, EVER scores. Plus he played for Burnley FFS...

PS. On a side note, he looks like a mixed-race Mr Bean, which has always tickled me

Who remembers Matt Woods, manager of Stockport County, saying about Johnny Price "He never, ever scores"?

How many goals did the diminutive winger get for us? Quite a few.

Doesn't matter how a player "looks". If he does the business, that's OK by me.

[Rover_Shaun]

If Hull (yes we are taking Hull's sloppy seconds) are prepared to ship him out on loan then..................

[Stuart]

Andy Cryer preparing for life after the LT...

Andrew Cryer ‏@CryerRovers

@tombothegreat @mikeydelap @rob_hunt1 ur a midtable championship signing championship players. Not much to get angry about

Stewart failed at a Premier League club, two Championship sides and League One Yeovil. I have seen him play dozens of times at this level, and I am telling you now that not only does he not score, but he doesn't cross, pass, tackle or head either. He's a trier and a good kid, but nowhere near the standard required at a club fighting for promotion to the top-flight. By the end of his loan, he couldn't even make the BENCH at Burnley earlier this season. Bruce slagged him off for being fat and unfit when he came back too, so don't get your hopes up.

It's Keith Andrews isn't it.

1. His attributes sound like he'll settle in straight away.

2. He isn't joining a club fighting for promotion.

3. Burnley can do that to a man. Comfort eating can be the only solace to a man sufferng such depression.

One thing being owned by venkys and managed by kean taught most of us is never to get our hopes up.

One of the worst players I've seen in a City shirt. I wouldn't insult Stewart by comparing him to Andrews.

Don't tell Jonnolad [private joke by the way. Jonnolad thought Keef was class].
