January Transfer window

[rog of the rovers]

One of the best abilities is availability

Siggy probably leaves this window with 22 starts and 19 sub appearances (up for selection 41 out of a possible 80 games)

Cantwell is reportedly on 25k - 30k p.w?

Possibly, but at least he is getting a game. 

We definately need shut of Sigurdsson however. 

[TheRevAshton]

Eee it's getting a bit boring and depressing this window aint it!?

We haven't even got all the fake ITK tossers to lighten the mood either 😂

Siggy is a real strange character isn't he

Looks like he has bags of ability on the ball, but a player that has spent his time on 3G pitches playing no contact. Soon as he gets one put on him, it is all over

When he first came he bagged a few goals too. I thought it was a real shrewd signing. Just goes to show how football works

Maybe just me but I’d much prefer not reading nonsense from those simply guessing or making things up for clicks 

[RevidgeBlue]

It would be nice if we ever got any actual insight or original links  from Jackson at our local paper but all he does is reproduce stuff which has already appeared elsewhere on the internet.

A return not looking likely for Hanley then https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/norwich-city-blackburn-rovers-unlikely-to-sign-grant-hanley/

Funnily enough, i'd actually be on board with that if Brewster wasn't on silly wages 😂

TBF the original article said both we and Sheffield United favoured a loan whereas Hanley would probably favour a loan somewhere which had a permanent move at the end of it, so nothing new really.

Jackson just reproduced that article passing off what was fairly obvious as his opinion and this guy has rehashed another article out of what Jackson wrote.

Hopeless Jackson is.

His exclusive back in the summer was some story about us wanting Stephen Humphrys.

Then back end of last year about Hedges signing a new contract, which surprise hasn't happened yet.

[jim mk2]

Unless neither Carter nor Wharton are going to play again this season, and we need the extra cover, Hanley is a bullet dodged. 

As for Siggurdsson (sp?) shunt him out this week. He's a waste of a wage and needs to be got off the payroll.

Apart from one purple patch 6 years ago for Swansea, Brewster makes Dolan look like prime Messi in terms of his goal return

6 goals in 95 games for Sheffield United since then

Brewster has scored 4 league goals in 5 years, and also missed about 18 months of his career due to 3 separate hamstring injuries in that time.

Sounds right up our street to be fair!

The old Kent/Holding/Hanley/Brewster quadruple transfer coup. LOL.

Probably keep the physio busy.

No one uses footballleagueworld as a reliable source....

[TheRevAshton]

Any updates on your end @unleaded?

Would have to hire another one to help ease the workload 

[MB Rover]

Did hear of some interest around Dolan, thought it was agent talk!

Rovers website when someone is pictured holding up the shirt, and even then it's dubious.

Daughter's boyfriend over from Australia last season early November against Preston on first visit to Ewood had Siggie sized up in twenty minutes "doesn't fancy it does he?"

How many goals has Brewster scored for Sheff Utd ?

[FE123]

Would take Brewster on the right deal. Clearly a player there, bear in mind a large number of those 95 appearances will have been while Sheff U were a premier league club. 
 

Theres potentially 100’s of reasons its not worked for him at Sheffield United, we’d certainly be sick if he signed for someone else and started banging them in.

 

Can anyone name me (aside from probably Adam Armstrong) who these proven championship goal scorers are? I can’t think of another who scores regularly at this level. Let alone the cost in January a player who scored regularly at this level. A forward with experience of scoring goals at this level is not going to happen.
