outspent by Barton Rovers

its what we will get whether we need it or not Edit - that, or a "project signing" who may be ready in 4 years, but on a 3 year contract, with an option for an extra year

probably that ballpark He is at least capable of running, which puts him ahead of Ennis

a warm body young quite tall that is all

re TGH, agree absolutely spot on

id prefer instead of spending £750K (or more) each on De Neve, Henriksson, Kargbo, Gueye, Tavares they instead spent £2M + each on two players and then promoted 3 or 4 academy kids, and then used the money saved on those wages for renewing some contracts

Now they are hoping to get one in (maybe) by the next game, from our B, C or D list What happened to 3 or 4 in the first week of January? https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25756631.blackburn-rovers-transfer-latest-pursuit-strikers/ Valerien Ismael admits it has become 'urgent' for Blackburn Rovers to sign more firepower in the January transfer window. The head coach watched his side fail to score for the fourth time in five matches after a goalless FA Cup tie at Hull City. Axel Henriksson and youngster Nathan Dlamini were thrown up front with Yuki Ohashi desperate for a breather. Ismael wants Rovers to sign two strikers this month, with work going on behind the scenes to bring players in. However, as the games pass, the need for more options becomes even greater. "We are working behind the scenes very intensively to make it happen, for sure for me it's as quick as possible," Ismael said on striking targets. "Until the end of January, there are four games and it's very important to have the player as quickly as possible. "We see why now, we actually just have Yuki (Ohashi) as a real number nine, and yes, it's become urgent now to make it happen, so hopefully we can get someone in the building next week." Bailey Cadamarteri has been linked with Rovers after previous interest in the summer transfer window. Scottish side Hibernian have, reportedly, had a bid rejected. Ismael admitted he's a player that Rovers have looked at but wouldn't comment on interest in specific players. He explained that irons were in the fire with multiple targets to ensure they get deals over the line. "We know the player, but I don't want to comment any name for the market," Ismael said. "I think we are working on some, not only in one direction. I would say something like that, when you want to get two strikers you have to make sure you are prepared for more (than one target). "If someone says no then you have to make sure you have your plan B, C, D, but as I say we are prepared, we are working hard behind the scenes, and as I say if you can get one at least next week it will help us, but I think today we see clearly why we have to do something. "We know it's about the profile of the player we need, the way we want to play, the intensity we want to put into the game, so it reduces the choice you get, but A, B, C, D, at least yes."

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25756647.blackburn-rovers-suffer-another-worrying-injury-concern/ "The only one with an injury is Kristi with his shoulder, I think it doesn't look good, I know this type of injury," Ismael conceded. "Nathan was cramp, Dion was cramped as well. I think the numbers the players put on the pitch, I was expecting that for them, so at least they played that limit. "It was just the case, how long we can push with them to give them more minutes, but you see Nathan got cramp, the intensity was really high on the pitch. "Some of the players didn't play a lot, that's why they were tired quickly." Connor O'Riordan also went off due to fatigue but there was no injury concern. Igor Tyjon was ready to come on for extra time but didn't because of that late change. "I actually wanted him (Tyjon) to come on in the extra time, but Conor gave a sign that he was tired and he had some cramps. "I had to put Pratty on the pitch, it was unlucky for him, he was ready to go in. "Connor made it clear he can go further, so I didn't want him to take any risk. It was cramp, he was really fatigued, he said I'm really tired, this is what I say to my players, if you're tired, you go out to be ready for the next game."

Ah yes, the goalkeeping coach is obviously at fault for a game in which we didn't concede for 120 minutes

Elliot Jackson has been on the funny mushrooms

yep

future premier league regular, so enjoy him whilst you can

beginning? This has absolutely been the case for years People vastly overate how good a player has to be to be "Championship standard"

How are Hull where they are in the League? we have played them twice, they have been equally shit both occasions, this is pretty much their strongest available 11 apart from the keeper

good finish, shame it was offside
