[Archived] Transfer Window - January 2016

[RevidgeBlue]

Lambert confirmed Lawrence is leaving as well

Totally irrational but I never forgave him for missing that sitter against the Dingles. Talented but strikes me as another three or four game a season player like Cairney, King, Marshall etc. As others have said no great loss.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Yet he gave Lawrence minutes today. Strange one.

He came on for Watt I think. Direct swap. No point taking any risks with the game won.

[VinjayV4]

No loss seems to have a bad attitude probably a consequence of where he started his career. Guess he needs his mum to approve of where he's going next.

Friend, Derby fan, who was at the IPRO last night reckons Hanley is the man Derby want to shore up their defence. Seemingly, Clement remembers him well from his time at Ewood. Could be an interesting weekend.

[Lancaster Rover]

According to the radio Lawrence missed another very good chance today.

In my darker moments I was wondering if that was why we signed Ward!

If rhodes does go we are under no pressure to sell and only a short time to reject bids

[davulsukur]

Lawrence is potentially a decent player. He is raw and very much still learning. Not sure he is what we need at this rebuilding stage.

If he was a Rover, things would be different as he could develop as a player for us in the future but as a loan, not what we need right now.

Think it was a 'business' decision to sell Rhodes and not a financial necessity.

[LDRover]

Lambert has sold him because he doesn't rate him and the price was better than he could've dreamt. I'm certain of that.

[neophox]

Well how many goals has Rhodes scored in the last 15 games?

[Mercer]

Lambert has sold him because he doesn't rate him and the price was better than he could've dreamt. I'm certain of that.

As I said, a 'business' decision.

[neophox]

Is he worth potentially £14m ... Nah

[RevidgeBlue]

Would be a shocking move to sell Hanley and replace him with 31 year old Ward. That really would be the last of the family silver flogged.

Rumours about Hanley surface every window. Last one it was the Dingles. I would imagine Hanley is more of a Lambert type player than Rhodes.

[neophox]

But at this stage of the season could be daft ...but keep faith in PL

[Torgeir]

Sorry, probably didn't explain properly. The money would be saved to spend in the summer - i.e. sell now whilst it is a seller's market, and buy in the summer when prices drop.

In other words, are Graham and Watt replacing Rhodes until the summer? They're definitely good enough to keep us up, and this season is a write-off in terms of promotion.

Probably barking up the wrong tree, just seems odd that one of them would be happy to sit on the bench.

Big gamble given our current situation. Hope we have time to reinvest some of it now.

[Mani]

Anyone listened to the audio from Lambert? Heard it live and would love to listen again if anyone had the link?

I agree, would be a big risk. Derby friend reckons they have too many players and Clement struggling to keep them all happy with Forsyth (left sided defender / midfielder) and Hendrick (midfielder) being two of them. Throw those two in and 2 or 3 £million and who knows...........!?!?

Make it Bryson and it'd be interesting

[chaddyrovers]

Hendrick (midfielder) being two of them.

I hope Lambert looks to sign him before the deadline

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Hendrick is a good player, nice little cameo against Manyoo last night. Could be the creative midfielder we are looking for.

They're trying to buy their way out of the league and seem convinced FFP doesn't apply to them. Hope them and 'Boro fail and get slapped with an embargo tbh but I'm not holding my breath!

This doesn't so much apply to Derby, but the fact 'Boro get average gates of 15k and pay Downing £60k a week, yet comply with FFP really gets my goat

Really interesting comment about us turning down the money in the summer.

Pretty much sums up what a few have been saying that the team should now be stronger.

Imagine how much more depressing this would be without Lambert. In him I trust.
