Meanwhile, on another clubs messageboard: "But Blackburn got BD for 750k, Rodwell on a free, Armstrong for about a million, and DG for a reasonable price. And they're now 8th in the league.

Whilst I definitely acknowledge that he will need replacing sooner rather than later, I am honestly starting to think that even if Graham saved you from drowning, you'd complain that he didn't manage

There are too many people in Blackburn who are only happy when they are moaning or angry. Mowbray is doing a very decent job at Rovers. He has turned the club around in all the ways traditio

Anyone notice that Preston moved very quickly to bring in two players. We seem to be behind the curve a little bit. Seem a little bit reactive must mean we are looking at players from Leagues above us rather than from below us like North End

PNE have done 3 bits of business already. I really hope we won't be leaving it all until the last dance on the 31st. As blabby pointed out, loans with a view are great in principle but let's make sure they are exactly that rather than this Brereton mess that we've got ourselves in.

Loan signings. So in other words we blew the budget on Brereton, no players coming in who are going to come straight in to the first team just more bits and pieces players to help keep the bench warm.

Yes and one that many on here were happy to avoid. Has he improved, I genuinely have no idea.

If Warnock is interested, there must be something in him...

To be honest Forest's announcement was even more bizarre. Two lines on their website confirming that Brereton had joined 'Championship side' Blackburn on a permanent deal. Anyone would think they weren't in the Championship referring to us like that, a very short statement to say they have sold an academy product and you'd think if they were getting big money for him they'd be keen to tell their fans what a good deal they've got.

And Graham has signed until June 2020.

Full article here.

Delighted with that.

Brereton is never worth 'undisclosed fee'! That's either to protect Forest fans or us... 

 

Just seen "could rise with clauses" - as I suspected. These are often ridiculously optimistic whenever inserted, could even be half that really.

Lad will be a bargain!

Ya, I would imagine the clauses are ambitious. Stuff like promotion, England caps etc are worth a fair bit

Ben's signs for "undisclosed" fee..... maybe @Biz was right all along re fee for BB.

Most deals completed now are undisclosed fees.

Delighted that Graham has extended his stay.  One can only hope that now Brereton is here to stay he can settle down and improve on what we have seen so far.

Strange to be undisclosed for such a well covered story... You'd think it's nowhere near 7 to start with and definitely not up front with a statement like that. Clauses are a given in almost any deal, I imagine a sell on is in there too.

Deal for Brereton will be around the 3.5 million mark with it going to 7-8 million if he hits some silly milestones like getting us promoted. 

 

Forest would have it plastered everywhere that they've made 7 million up front rising to 10 million on an academy player. They needed any money from us just as much as we needed a player from them.

 

Shame we didn't get McKay at the same time though.

I think we all hoped he would hit ground running, which he hasn't. Still he is very young for that type of striker and they usually never peak untill mid-twenties. Graham was only a bit-part player out on loan scoring very little untill he dropped down to league one with Carlisle at 22. First then he carved a good career for himself. Brereton desperatly need a goal to get going, you can clearly tell from his interview:

Where did you read that, Tom?

Sorry for the confusion. I'm just stating it would make sense to be around that figure. Surely not even these owners could commit that amount up front. Especially after being tight for a number of years.

Brings a tear to my eye... Come on Tony start him upfront tomorrow and give him half a chance and put an attacking team out.

Not if we didn't want the fee announced they wouldn't have.

Do that and every player they go in for price goes up!
