January Transfer window

[Ghost7]

Until there's an owner willing to sit in that seat wearing a scarf, watching their millions spent on a player in hope potentially go down the drain, things will never change... the club is owned by disinterested scum. That is a fact. They will never prove me wrong.

Didn't beka beka just have a serious mental health issue not long ago? Is he even alright to play football right now? He hasn't in a year or so?

People have been quite dismissive of the timing of potential transfers.

If we sign anyone on deadline day, we have a game the day after which is our 31st of the season. So especially loans, they will be here for 15 games after that.

[Paul Mani]

I thought the Forshaw transfer might catch us out. Sanderson as a 4th / 5th choice cb seemed a calculated risk. But to bring in Forshaw as ‘first sub’ to Trav/Tron was not great planning.

On a positive note, Buckley played well yesterday, and if the defence and Keeper continue doing their job, then it’s back to the forwards to start doing theirs!

Fingers cross we get the right signings, sooner than later.

No idea, I don’t subscribe to his musings.

I wasnt impressed by him midweek but he was certainly better today. That being said, his good play all came within a chunk of the middle of the game and he wasnt that impressive around that.

Either way, lets not fool ourselves into thinking that he is a player who should be a potential regular in a side with play off aspirations based on a solitary performance in a loss at Oxford.

We fans may have play off aspirations but Waggott and Co, just want to avoid relegation by all accounts... 

We are in dangerous territory now cos the team has been pillaged of talent.. No reinvestment now, leaves us teetering on the edge, when Eustace leaves and he will do before the season ends ...

We have enquired about Lewis O’Brien on loan. They want majority of £40,000 a week wages covered.

Rio was shit no matter where he played though.

I hope you're either baiting or never actually watched him play. How good he was is debatable but to write him off as shit? You don't become a main stay in a dominant Man U team and win 80 England caps if you're shit.

Could really need him right now, but that one will either not happen or drag out because of his wages. I'm sure we've made a number of enquiries that we haven't followed up on.

I’d pay him 60k for the messing about. 

[Emerald Isle Rover]

So from full time at 5pm to first thing this morning we’re after O’Brien who before the match wouldn’t have been seen as needed or a priority 

but we are so poor going forward have little to no pace or a number 9 and not a word about these priority positions

if you didn’t laugh you would cry

If true then why/who is so obsessed with O'brien at ewood? No logic .

Game coming up but little interest on here after the Oxford day out.

The forwards are doing what they can, they're just not good enough. We have so many players out that would be in the first eleven which all points back to the inadequacy of the squad at the start of the season in terms of number and quality.

Judging by the transfer window so far things are not going to change and our assault on Top 6 is likely to fade.

[BankEnd Rover]

O'Brien just isn't going to happen, we'd need him now and how much of his wages are we going to pay? 12k? Forest will wait till the end of the window then it's more or less pointless because travis will be back.

We need attackers and fast it's pretty simple.

Pretty sure we aren't after O,Brien, I'm guessing the comment was made tongue in cheek, I don't think Nixon has put anything out yet has he? 

Not a cat in hells chance O'Brien comes to us, he'd rather go to Stanley. We'd be the last team he would want to join and rightly so.

Not tongue in cheek, willing to come aswell apparently.

 

Blackburn ask about O’Brien

Blackburn Rovers have asked for Lewis O’Brien on loan - two years after their deadline day disaster.

 

Boss John Eustace fancies the drive of midfielder O’Brien to add to his team and the player would go despite the botched attempt to sign him cause mayhem.

 

Nottingham Forest want as much of O’Brien’s £40,000-a-week wages as they can get.

Blackburn chief to leave

Blackburn Rovers academy chief Stuart Jones is quitting despite a handful of his discoveries making the first team squad.

 

Long serving Jones is leaving at a time when Rovers are including four or five of their home grown kids in a vital boost to their group.

They're live now, but you're probably right. I think the EFL did us one on that one with the relegation clause having to be inserted, and I'm sure O'Brien sees that as well. McGuire on the other hand has more of a right to be pissed off. Unfortunate that O'Brien wasn't registered by Forest...
