A mystery League One club have made a bid for Fleetwood striker Devante Cole. #FTFC #codarmy #DeadlineDay

[JHRover]

Todd Kane once of this parish has joined managerless Oxford on loan.

He's now 24, is on to his 7th loan club, and is yet to make a single appearance for Chelsea.

Why is it not right to share a source who is putting it all over social media - they want the shares?

I was sent a private tweet..

Its up to him to come on here and post on here. Not me

Do you ask J*B to share his sources

Amazing that he's still employed by Chelsea after all this time, he's never going to make it at even a decent Championship club

I said on here before we signed Bell it was a double enquiry, got told that directly from a staff memeber involved with Fleetwood.

Don think ive ever asked anyone for sources - including you. You missed the point.

You said it would not be fair to share the source - but seeing as he put it out there on Tiwtter more than an hour ago and its be shared and linked to countless times - plus the fact he is a journo and will want it shared - i dont see the problem.

Pete O'Rourke isnt my source. 

My source is a Rovers fan

Think he got a new long term deal a couple of years ago when Mourinho was there. Must be something in it for Chelsea to have a young British player on their books who they move around on loan every year who obviously is never going to get into 1st team contention.

I dont think we need another striker/wide striker. 

Much prefer getting Chapman sign up before the summer. He be major player for us next season aswell

Nope!!!

I not even posted links from Nixon on anymore. Other posters do that. 

Antonsson was exactly prolific before he came here. 

A person with decent info. Not going to name him on here. Not right. You dont ask J*B or other people to name their sources. So why me? 

Chill out Chaddy, you posted like you had some insider knowledge, so I was curious re the source is all.....

Hugill possibly to West Ham from PKE - Such a shame if that happens

Didn’t Gibson say that Venkys were the worst businesspeople he’s ever had to deal with?

Not sure if he said that, but if he did, and in the case of Jordan Rhodes, I'm not sure Gibson should be throwing stones!

From the BBC

Shrewsbury Town boss Paul Hurst has a proven track record on unearthing non-League gems – and the latest is Abo Eisa from National South Wealdstone. He’s a young attacking midfielder with a penchant for spectacular goals. Undisclosed fee involved

[Oldgregg86]

Nick Powell to Brighton. I really hope that comes off. Would have a massive effect on their team. Second bid rejected up to now

Don't think we need another striker either. Will be hard to keep everyone happy as it is.

[darrenrover]

Fair play to Paul Hurst, he's clearly got something managing a club like Shrewsbury.

We're Blackburn Rovers and I'm pretty sure now with our attacking options we're going to rip up what remains of this season and finish up as convincing champions with some stuffings en route.

Wigan, Shrewsbury behave, We Are The Rovers!

There's also the feeling that the more choices we get the more temptation there is to chop and change with the team.

[Bigdoggsteel]

We definitely don't need another striker. We already have 2 of them playing on the wing and two on the bench. What are we going to do, play 11 strikers? Last man back??

I doubt we have bid for a striker. 

[JacknOry]

While I agree, struggling to think who the two on the bench are if we have Samuel and Armstrong on the wing? Nuttall and?

[Gumbi]

Scott Wharton has gone out on loan to Lincoln City until the end of the season.
