[Archived] Deadline day 2017 (no unrelated chat)

[JHRover]

At least when there are no arrivals and no money is spent the excuses will be at the ready. We were trying really hard but ultimately we just got pipped to the post by a Championship club...

Likewise, if our kid was any good, Championship teams would be after him

But they are our kids.So you think Tomlinson doesn't have what it takes or Rankin-Costello?I don't know if they will have it...but from what I have seen Tomlinson in paticular deserves a chance.I'm not saying start them but let them come off the bench see what they can do.I don't believe for one second that Mowbray is taking this kid from West Bromwich to starting him in our first choice 11,if he was and could improve our first 11 then I'll hold my hands up and admit I'm a know nothing

The point he is making isn't difficult to comprehend.

If we are going to give game to help other teams increase their value then they had better get us promoted.

If our young lads can't get a game - based on what I've seen there are some contenders - they should be loaned out.

Otherwise, what's the point of our academy? It's not developing our own and not making any money because they won't sign new contracts. It's almost as though there is some prestige to having our U23s in PL2.

Different story if there is a ready made player who could join permanently following a loan spell. But we still need to be loaning out our youngsters.

Because our academy has paid for itself numerous times over with quality players brought through and sold on, because they are good enough.

It doesn't matter if you are 35 or 15, if you are better than what we have, then surely we must want them to improve the side?

What's the point of developing an average youth team player to a decent footballer?

We are not growing youth team players in Blackburn, they are from all over the world. No loyalty to them, or from them to us.

Cardiff City are in talks with Blackburn Rovers over a move for winger Liam Feeney. What Chaddy said ^

[JHRover]

One out before any come in. Been saying it for weeks.....

[Reedy You're A Star]

If Feeney goes that leaves us needing a CB, a LB and a replacement winger. I hope, at this late hour, we have people lined up for any of these outgoings.

[JacknOry]

He did say no player would be leaving without replacements coming in - so I hope thats true.

Not the case at all.

Maybe cos Mowbray is happy with Williams and Doyle there. 

But not centre midfielder where we got 4 midfielders but 1 is injury prone. 

You have said this season that you would drop Williams, and Doyle has never played a league minute.

Baring in mind this Harper is 17, so hes hardly ready to come straight in and give us another option, and with rubbish like Gladwin and Antonsson already brought in, you would agree its poor use of resources by Mowbray to ignore strengthening our weakest position?

Smallwood, Samuel, Dack, Chapman and Caddis look like good signings and I think Whittingham will come good but surely you understand what I am saying.

[neophox]

Lucas Joao available on loan.

The kid might be 17, but he's a big unit. If he is good enough to play in the premier league a couple of weeks ago, I can't see why he wouldn't provide an option in League 1. Box to box player likened to Vieira.

I can't say I was impressed. Played when he felt like it, which wasn't too often.

[Stuart]

Feeney and Lowe playing in a division above us, while we scrap it out for (and lose) a lad from Motherwell with potential. Thanks Venkys.

Feeney was the worst player against Stoke's U21s on Tuesday! And Lowe...

Puts an end to 2 deals involving us probably. Heneghan to us, Lenihan to Sheff Utd.

If it keeps Lenihan here then I'm not bothered about Heneghan

[Reedy You're A Star]

Prefer to keep Lenihan too, but still think we need another CB to cover.

[danger19_80]

Well there you go then. You'd take losing out on Heneghan to keep Lenihan every day of the week.

[Tormund]

Would be nice to get Goldson on loan from Brighton. I expect Championship clubs may want him though.

Yeah, we know what Lenihan is capable of, Heneghan is an totally unknown quantity.

[jim mk2]

Good move for Jason Lowe - I'm pleased for the lad. Sadly, he's in a different class to the type of player we can afford now.

We still need a commanding centre half.  Neither Lenihan or Mulgrew will be heading everything away when we are seriously under pressure.
