January Transfer Deadline Day 2022

Historically, deadline day has only been frustrating and disappointing when we haven't made any window signings. 

We have made signings, and we are just trying to see what falls into place in terms of adding one more by midnight, but that will be a bonus. 

I would keep Davenport as attacking cover, as he has looked good off the bench in our winning run. 

Johnson will do a better job than posters think, as we get to the sharp end. 

We can do this, but a lot depends on the form of Khadra and Ben....

Butterworth as attacking cover you mean. Johnson's legs are gone imo. Still great for bringing on in last 20 minutes to see out a game though.

Butterworth nowhere good enough for a top championship side...must be better strikers out there....

Bournemouth have strengthened massively this window. Simply can't compete with what they've done. 

Hopefully we keep it up on the pitch. Their wage bill must be massive for championship  

I know that Bournemouth have signed players but they’re still only allowed to play 11 at a time and I think it’s a distinct advantage when they all know each others’ names.

[neophox]

Bournemouth signs Moore and Phillips....

Moore is permanent, that has to be an expensive one....

He has a lot of talent. Sadly though he hasn't worked anywhere near hard enough..

Still the money from Armstrong has not been invested in a striker...

Still Nyambe, Lenihan and Rothwell has not signed new contracts...

Still shambles with getting new signings over the line...

Still have one of the best chance in many years to being promoted and make millions...

If I was owner of Blackburn Rovers FC I would be really worried about how our board of directors fare are mismanaging the club. 

 

 

 

Respectfully and joking aside, have you been on the pop?

Do you recall a pandemic, no home games and no revenue/income for 18 months?

The owners have stuck another £35 million in of their own brass to prop us up during this time, apart from Armstrong we've sold nobody since, we're second in the league, have signed several additional players in January to strengthen the squad (and maybe more to come) and you're still fucking moaning about mismanagement and lack of owner support?!

What do you/did you expect btw?...I sincerely hope you're a season ticket holder too btw!!

You think the Armstrong warchest is sat there with the owners willing people to sell and it just incompetence below that prevents that?

FFP ?

Hopefully direct free kicks. We might as well not bother with them since Charlie left.

Have we even scored one since?

[Ruaney]

What frustrates me is before Edun gets injured we are not going in the market for a LB. So were we not going to sign anyone today?

All this talk of a player from abroad? A striker? A midfielder? These positions need addressing. Happy with the windows business? Yes. But just sick of the mixed messages coming out of the club. Happens every time window!

i`ve noticed that sometimes he does`nt appear to be to be to enamoured effort wise,he`s either seriously slow or just not quick enough in the mind football wise,at this level you can`t hide unfortunately

Both Burns and McBride has left.... must be a striker coming in...

That's what I was saying earlier, we've got one fit striker at the moment who has hit the net in a league match.

Incorrect. Many Aberdeen fans rate him very highly. Bit one footed though. Looked fantastic training today. 🙂

Know many spl fans do you? I live in inverness 

[martonrover]

Dembele still available, I think?

The manager was disappointed to lose him to be fair.Im not that excited by the signing myself but he only cost 200k and rather him signed now than on a pre contract.

Chapman, Khadra, Gallagher, Hedges

Gallagher and Khadra are injured.

Chapman and Khadra are midfielders. Hedges is a winger. Gallagher rarely gets played as a striker.

We've got Brereton and Butterworth.

Funny how people take a lack of excitement as failure, think people would prefer we sold players and scrambled round trying to get replacements in just because it would be more exciting

In reality if we get this Giles chappy in it’s been a very decent window for me

Some folk are just never satisfied!😉😀

It's touch and go but if it were to come off, it would give us all a massive lift and a serious statement of intent. 

Fingers crossed and I'm logging off now to avoid temptation/frustration getting the better of me, as I've been inclined to do in the past!

COYB!!!

WE ARE The Rovers!!!

Did you expect us to be second in the league?

Did you expect us to sign a striker in summer once Armstrong left?

Sorry, meant Butterworth, and this is less of an option unless he regains the energy he showed against Birmingham.

Discussing the potential departure of Dembele earlier this week, Fry said: "There is no way we will sell him on transfer deadline day.

“Because that would give us no time to sign a replacement.”
