I'd happily take Van Hecke out to accommodate Jones, personally.

Here is the good thing about our defence at the moment, Van Hecke would be the last one I'd take out from there. It's a pretty good situation when all 3 of them are being highly rated by the fans who watch them.

Oh I rate him, I was thinking 'loan for loan'.

Give it 2 games and Jones will get injured again anyway.

One more booking and Van Hecke is suspended for two games.

So they're all mouth and no action then?

Well, apparently they’re very close to signing Dembele and Moore too. With Phillips and Cantwell likely as well.

Regardless, I believe we need at least one more defender. We're only a couple of cards away from suspensions for some. Add injuries to that and we're buggered.

Crikey, I'm glad you aren't the manager!  What is it... 11 clean sheets in 15 games?  Forget that, put Jones straight in... hardly kicked a ball for 3 years.

Can see the lancs live blog now:

15:00 - Don't get disheartened, moves are being made

17:00 - No honestly, Rovers are actively looking

19:00 - Transfer news incoming...

19:30 - Chapman joins Burton on a free

20:00 - Rovers are in for an unnamed striker

20:30 - Giles gets announced

20:45 - That's not Rovers done yet!

21:00 - Davenport leaves

22:00 - Rumours come out we offered 120k for Charlie Austin 3 hours before the deadline

22:30 - Rovers sign another right back, just for the crack

23:01 - That's Rovers done for the day, let's not forget Rovers have kept Rothwell and Dack is basically a new signing anyway.

Lance live is utter shite

Their carpark must be nearly full.

It's not like I'm advocating a crap defender like Maguire 😉

OK. I was only asking as it might have a knock on effect for our business.

I'd love to see Phil Jones back in the squad, if he can stay fit he'd be brilliant, a throwback to signing a die hard defender like Kevin Moran, and if we did make to the the PL, perfect to take over from Van Hecke.  He'd be cover for Travis, full back, central defence.

But money, injuries, having an already solid back line, demands of guaranteed first team football. Wouldn't happen.

Phil Jones or Bradley Johnson though?

[Doaksie]

All starting to feel very familiar this transfer deadline day....

[bluebruce]

We don't need a better CB than our current 4. But we absolutely need cover, because if 2 of them are out we are either changing formation, putting Johnson in there, or playing an untested kid. Was very unwise to send Carter out.

And Phil Jones can fuck off, don't ever want him back at Ewood.

[deanives]

Phil Jones in for at cdm? Cover for Travis and also cover for cb if needed.

Certainly is. 

Still haven't got this loan over line we were looking at hours ago. 

If we do manage to get that one done, I reckon that will be all we do.

Why not? I thought we did extremely well out of him at the time.

Is it "Rothwell syndrome"?

🙂

[Theaxe15]

Why is Phil Jones getting such a love in?? The average man has played nearly as many competitive games as he has in the last 3 years. The man turns down opportunities to move elsewhere constantly, doesn’t scream to me someone who I’d want in my squad, let alone taking up the spot of a player who has been grafting all season to get us up to 2nd

It’s two more for both Van Hecke and Lenihan.

[neophox]

16.00 still no signing in sight.....wasteful time...Ill catch you up later..

Indeed. There’s being secretive with your deals and then there’s this. On deadline day too. 

It’s the hope that kills you.

More Bournemouth:

defender Nat Phillips joins from Liverpool on loan for the rest of the season.

Exactly....have some folk forgotten we signed a couple last week and as yet, nobody of significance has left!

Veljko Paunoivc on John Swift.

"He's under contract and is our player. We are in transfer market which is open so if some offer comes, it will always be considered.

"We don't want to lose him, but this is football and the club is in the situation that it is and has to consider everything."


Amazingly Bournemouth aren't in for him.

[yellowsubmarine]

Bournemouth are so afraid of us. 🤣
