That *was* the January Window

So he's here for a few months on loan then. No way we'll pay a higher fee. And if he does well then someone else will be in for him.

[JamieUK]

Whilst a loan to buy looks to be the sensible option - see George Hirst - that must impact other potential deals given the maximum loans in a matchday squad. They're not going to bring in the Palace winger and Newcastle midfielder for example to go with all the others... I can't see that we've been linked with any other cash buys aside the 2 foreigners. The time is ticking...

Don't mind that personally, gives us a chance to have a look at him before making a decision.

I am not bothered whether it's a loan or permanant, as long as he is successful.

The deal hasn’t even been announced officially yet and likely will be in instalments so not exactly going to get 18m up front. 

How many times?

Not exactly going to be paying it all up front for any purchases either!

“Okay, everyone. Last year, we struggled with the loan-to-buy deal we tried to do with a team in a different division on Deadline Day and caught a lot of flack for messing it up, so let’s change tack this year: same deal structure, but it’s a team in a different country.”

I bet we’re all wishing that the Ennis transfer had been another f****** loan deal.

[roverandout]

Rovers transfer policy. Get as many loan players In as possible then start all over again next season.  Then they can make excuses that they are having to start from scratch. No long term building just blinkered short sightedness

Not definitely signing him, its an option to buy 

Which we won't exercise. Read what I put properly.

[Miller11]

Hope we get the first fax off in good time. We aren’t very good at contracts when there’s a buy out clause involved!

Hefty loan fee involved .....

 

Let's be honest here, that bloke was broadcasting from his bedroom in his underpants and vest* last night saying it wasn't on.

So let's not take everything he says as gospel.

*I may have exaggerated about his attire.

[RoversBWA]

You lot really are a bunch of miserable bastards.

 

Loan to buy makes more sense anyway as we aren’t spunking £4mil on a unproven MLS striker.  So rather than moaning be happy the deals back on!!

[pick32]

Don’t mind the loan with option to buy especially after seeing Ennis and Telovic

Why would we not exercise it if it's in our interest to do so ? Say he comes in and scores 10 goals in our remaining 18 league games surely we exercise it if only to sell him on ?

It's the principal of it, making £20m+ and only doing loans.

But yes, certainly happy the deal is back on.

I wonder if the loan fee is anywhere close to the amount we were originally supposed to pay.

[davulsukur]

Blackburn Rovers are to sign Liverpool centre-back Billy Koumetio on loan.

There in lies the issue of low standards. The prospect of a humiliating mid flight end to the deal means that anyone questioning the likelihood of none of an 18m+ windfall will be reinvested this window is dismissed as moaning.

[CambridgeRover]

TWO MORE LOANS

 

20 mill in the bank, 2 loans on the way

No just spunking a hefty loan fee on someone for 4 months with no ROI...

[TheKitGuy]

Rumour has it because they're in America we get an extra 5 hours added on to our deadline day because they're behind.

[islander200]

Blackburn loaners 

Christ we can't even sign a permanent deal when we sell a top prospect for £20 million 

What the fuck was the plan if Wharton wasn't sold.

The shit absentee owners once again changing plans no doubt 

[roversfan99]

Well regarded based on that first comment.
