Loan Window

Would be gutted to see Caddis leave now, he's my new favourite player - can do a job as 3rd choice. 

He probably only works cash in hand £150 day rate too so not like he's doing any harm.

Highlight of my night yesterday was (after watching him try 3 times prior to fake cross and cut inside only to run straight into the defender) when Caddis did his man and unleashed a left foot shot that almost went in... my and my sister were in stitches quoting tractor boy "he's done him, he's done him!"

Irrelevant side info, I did my PGCE with his (Tractor Boys) younger sister... she's a beaut.

Agreed we should be turning our attentions to outs rather than ins though. There's 67 teams below us in the football league... surely one will want each of Gladwin, Hart, Caddis, Whittingham, Tomlinson or Nuttall.

Not sure anyone will want Gladwin, he appears to have chucked his toys out of the pram. It would be great if Ben Gladwin was as good as Ben Gladwin thinks he is.

[Mattyblue]

He’s better than Dack! He said so himself!

How so?

[Lancaster Rover]

Well, he gave an interview earlier in the year saying it had been a tough year, there were reports of him telling fans he is the most naturally gifted player at Rovers and he seems to suffer from perennial 'knocks' that rule him out of playing. I also seem to remember QPR fans having a fairly dim view of his levels of application and attitude.

I may be wrong but he appeared to carry 'knocks' throughout the summer and hasn't been near a matchday squad yet. Either way I'm not too bothered really, he's not going to get anywhere near the starting 11 as it stands and I think he will struggle to get near the bench unless he shows a massive improvement on his previous appearances. I think it would be best for all concerned if he went out on loan.

Are all clubs as secretive about injuries? I have no idea what is wrong with Gladwin or Davenport 

[Lancaster Rover]

Davenport has a hip flexor issue, TM has mentioned it in press conference just not detailed the severity. The last I read about Gladwin was he was carrying a knock and wasn't fit for the Port Vale friendly, can't remember seeing anything since, admittedly I've not been looking out for information on his progress.

Mercerman hasn't been around lately is he banned?

I know, really strange. Didn't mention once what was up with Palmer either - I am sure I saw Rich Sharpe ignore the question a few times too. Still no actual news on the severity of Armstrongs injury either.

He’ll be too sozzled with all the fine reds he’ll have been supping toasting this fine start.

Palmer wasn't injured.A family member was unwell he had to go back to London 

[islander200]

Not long left to get Maddison over the line.

Be an absolute disgrace if we don't land him after spending all summer chasing him.

Everyone out!

[rovers11]

Hopefully we can bring in one or two more before window closes but, even if we don’t, I think we’ve had an excellent window and gone up a couple of levels. I can’t see any reason why we can’t have a promotion push this season. 

i would like to see Chapman come back but don’t think it’s essential, we have lots of competition for those forward places. Plus, he’s out of contract next summer so we  can re-visit then. I think Bauer from Charlton will also end up here eventually. 

I do think we’re a bit light at centre back, though, so that could be where we fall down a bit. If we get an injury there, we’re then relying on Downing, Rodwell, Williams to cover - none of them are proven centre backs at this level. We are struggling if Raya gets injured too.

Nope! As far as I know, there’s only one person on any sort of ban and it’s not him!

[Tony Rover]

Only post when I feel I’ve got something to add but I’m buzzing about being a Rover currently! Unbeaten with a weakened side which has been strengthened recently. So grateful for having TM at our club, bloke is full of class and there would be no chance of this happening without him. So impressed with this window and how we’ve started that I’ll throw my hat in and say playoffs... maybe a bit strong but there is such a good feeling around this club at the moment that I can’t help myself! What’s going to happen with a fully fit Dack ? Mulgrew at the back and Dack in attack, we’re Blackburn Rovers AND WE’RE ON OUR WAY BACK!

Last night was one of those 4-1 's he's been regularly expecting we'll win by over the past few years so I hope he weighed in on it ?

[roversoutsider]

Jason Cummings from Forest who is currently on loan at Peterborough is banging them in for fun at League 1 and looks a striker who will go places. Was recently linked with Hull.

A cheeky double striker swoop from Forest in Jan? ?

I think Rovers may well pay off Whittingham and let him move on for free.

[Bbrovers2288]

Was buzzing when we signed whittingham, one of my top 3 transfers that has left me disappointed. Just hasn’t worked for him here

Mowbray said earlier in the week Armstrong should be fit for BCFC. He also said Dack might not.

Probably for the best.

Didn't he accept less weekly wage for a 2 year deal when he chose us over Cardiff? He probably only has about £350,000 left on his contract if he was on about £8k which is likely given our L1 status.

Doesn't sting anywhere near as much as the 4 year £30k per week Leon Worst was on (£7m).

[donnermeat]

Leon Worst, got to say that made me laugh that.

I'll be using that from now on.

Maybe it hasn’t worked for him but I think it was a sign of intent at a crucial time in Rovers’ recent history. Who knows who else joined because we had signed such a credible Championship player in L1...
