Nope...don't be fooled by Lamberts cautious exterior. It's all for show! He's got money to spend. £3 - £5m is absolutely no problems...wait and see!

I hope you are right, because we certainly need to revamp this squad.

Sounds like a problem for next year's FFP accounts!

The losses allowance rises significantly for next season and will continue to do so as everyone knows it's a farce. Rovers will spend money and wisely and won't be back in an embargo. Look at Fulham's website that's basically what they've said about their embargo.

As for the "Lambert is sheesh kebab" comments, let's calm down, I don't think it's any coincidence that the two players he's publicly talked about in terms of how they need to improve (Marshall and Rhodes) have been dross since he came in, I think he has ideas of getting rid of both and spending the money on more committed, consistent and better value for money players, he wanted to see what they were made of, and they've answered that. Rhodes we all love, well most of us, but for £8mill plus and with him earning circa £35-£40k per week he's a player Lambert may consider selling, he would replace wisely.

Poor performances of late are a good thing in the long run, he knows who he needs to get rid of and will already have had targets in mind before he agreed to become Rovers manager.

According to Alan Nixon Lambert and Rovers have Four live issues at Rovers

Names will be in Sun on Sunday

I still won't be buying it! So be kind and let us know!

Blackburn Rovers are interested in signing Norwich City striker Lewis Grabban.

Seems like Norwich fans are interested in selling him!

So Lambert's contacts book extends only as far as one of his former clubs - not a good sign.

Haha give him a break!! It's a quick fix he needs in terms of the January window. Of course he's gonna go back to former clubs and to what / who he knows!!

Lichaj as right back

Kacaniklic at left wing

Lansbury in central midfeld

Grabban

Steele

Lichaj, Hanley, Duffy, Olsson

Conway, Lansbury, Evans, Kacaniklic

Grabban, Rhodes

Lansbury is a leader and creative player

These just your thoughts or have you got some info? Hope you have mate. I'd be well happy with those!!

If he can be bothered that is. We desperately need self starters, not guys who need their ego's massaged every game. I realise these players are becoming as rare as hen's teeth these days.

To be fair, if Grabban came from Bournemouth then the lad must have a decent work ethic, especially as they tried to buy him back.

If we're looking at left field signings how about John Bostock. Youngest player to ever play for Palace and Spurs and still only 23 now. He's out of contract in the summer and playing in Belgium. He obviously had something in his locker as I know he was wanted by everyone when he went to Spurs.

Lol. Better than a list of club development officers and going for a pint in the last chance saloon.

It's clear the knives are out for Lambert from some quarters. I can only assume these folks would be happier to see another novice brought in who will spend the first two years learning how to be a manager. The real reason, of course, is that people who backed Bowyer are desperate to say "I told you so". What a shame they can't back an experienced, proven, successful manager for the good of the club. Bowyer was given a massive chance at Rovers - a gig he would never have got at any other club. The experiment failed and we now need to move forward under a tried and trusted method of bringing in the best available manager and allowing him to work with the squad.

Really looking forward to this transfer window, as IMO PL and his team will have better pulling power and hopefully a modest amount of money to spend.

I'm sure he will have identified the weaker players and hope he manages to ship them out.

If this happened it would be fantastic. I hadn't really thought about it but the fact Forest have just had their embargo extended might mean they will be looking to sell. Always rated Chris Burke as a decent winger in the Championship.

I agree that we have to give Lambert more time (far more time) - but I think he has been a victim of his early success at Rover's - which unfortunately raised expectations far too high. Having said that - irrespective of his reputation or experience it doesn't mean he should be exempt from any criticism.

This transfer window will tell us a lot - we have to start looking better as a team after he has made a few additions to better suit his style of play. I am not one to push to chop and change managers - but I am sure that the Venky's didn't bring in PL and Irvine (presumably fairly expensive wage wise) to not improve our situation fairly quickly.
