Nyambe's final ball may be poor but as an attacking outlet he isn't as bad as made out,he gets the team forward and supports the attack and often looks for a simple ball to a more creative player which isn't the worst, we wouldn't see JRC bursting past defender and driving the ball in toward goal he also has the pace to recover and 1 v 1 defensively he is the best of our wing/full backs If JRC who I do rate just not as a wing or full back had been in the side since Fulham I'd wager we wouldn't have had as many clean sheets as we have now

They ain't going to be signing any deals until the season plays out. They will only get this bonus if we are promoted, and if we are promoted then high chance they will extend here.If we don't get promotion all 3 will likely be gone. At least with 700k on offer at season end it gives extra motivation and a reason to go full throttle if minds have already been made up about moving on no matter what come summer.

When the story first came out about the bonuses it was suggested that it was an incentive for the players reaching the end of their contracts to continue to perform. They are under contract this season, if we are promoted they will be getting their share

Yesterday or day before the let suggesting loan deals only and now it's permanent and loans being targeted, hopefully someone decent and no sob stories after deadline about how we tried our best to get them over the line https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19879473.bullish-tony-mowbray-delivers-blackburn-rovers-transfer-latest/

Probably clickbait but a piece earlier on Lenihen https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/darragh-lenihan-exclusive-five-premier-league-clubs-chasing-blackburn-defender

Elliot was starting for Liverpool until he got injured and is considered their best young player.No chance they would let him out permanently

Yeah but Rothwell wasn't even a regular at that point.He didn't start every game and when he did it wasn't in his self confessed preferred position of CM. Nyambe should have been done I agree with that and a case for Lenihen but Lenihen had had interest from Sheffield United and we didn't look like finishing anywhere but mid table prior to this season .

And what about FFP Gav?We were paying Rhodes 35k a week so they have paid big wages in this division. Our wages running 180% to turnover prior to this summer,were we didn't renew some of the higher earning older players. The wages did need cutting it wasnt sustainable to keep running our wage bill as high with income into the club minimal. The owners are only allowed to put so much in, and a look at the accounts tells us they are putting in what they can every season. It wasn't a promotion season until our good run after the Fulham game.

I think you should read my post again.I didn't say I'd take a point before a ball was kicked. I said we should target the win but a draw wouldn't be a disaster they are on good form. Like I didn't agree with the previous post ,that If we are serious about promotion only a win would be sufficient here . A draw away to Luton in the form they are In wouldn't mean we are out of the automatic promotion race

It was the right thing not to renew any of the out of contract players. If the finance was available going off Mowbrays demeanor at the time then Evans and Bennett at the the very least would still be here. We wouldnt be sat 2nd now and the likes of Buckley would still be living off the occasional start and coming off the bench. Nyambe is the biggest disappointment.To be fair to the club Rothwell wasn't worthy of higher end wages 12-18 months ago similar with Lenihen. Nothing is going to happen on the contract front now.Lets carry on our form, secure promotion and see what happens

Diallo who was mentioned as a possible loan signing is joining Rangers for rest of season

We are deffo paying more than 10k a week. Iv read and heard Dack is on £18.5 a week.Gallagher on 20+ a week at Southampton isn't coming here for £10k.And it was reported at the time that Mulgrew was earning 14k a week

Plus iv read and heard that Dack gets paid 18.5k a week

If we miss out on the playoffs with the position we are in now then surely he has to go? No way should we even be contemplating finishing outside the top 6 at this point unless we have an injury crisis

Facts are he was on 20k a week at Southampton. He wouldn't just walk away from that Joey.At the time he signed it was reported he took a small cut in wages. Mulgrew for example was on 14k a week.

1 person has said they would take a draw if offered now. I said we should target a win From this fixture but a draw wouldn't be terrible but that was more in response to someone saying if we are serious about promotion nothing but a win will do here.

Gallagher was on 20+ a week contract at Southampton. He took a cut coming here but it won't be below 15k a week

We have sold 2 players of value in 5 seasons. I will bet £100 with you now that now of those 3 will have signed for other clubs by the window closing. You are just trying to scare monger.No suggestion what so ever that any of the 3 will be sold.So I'm not quite sure how you can conclude that Mowbray is trying to drive the price up. Why would Rothwell want to join Bournemouth in this window?He has 6 months left on his deal he can speak to who he wants in the summer. How stupid would he feel if he did join them, we got promoted and Bournemouth didn't.

At this point it doesn't matter what Rothwell wants anyway. We have said not for sale.We aint selling any of em unless silly money comes in. Mercers post is based on nothing.We have sold 2 first team players in 5 seasons and now we are going to sell one of Nyambe, Rothwell or Lenihen for a pittance with 18 games left and sat second in the table.

Mercer he isn't going anywhere He sat there and praised the owners for keeping him and said bids had been turned down that where more than double what Bournemouth had offered. How stupid would he look and the owners if we accepted a bid of 4 Million now? It is what it is,he isn't for sale.

If it's only loans I think it will be easier to loan a decent left back than midfielder. With the left back we can offer a chance of a starting place as Pickering is 3/4 weeks off. Edun is better in midfield, use him there if Travis is out.

Suppose it doesnt really matter if its true or not. Looks like none of the players will be leaving which is what we all wanted.The owners didnt cash in like many predicted.

Mowbray says we have turned down bids twice as big as Bournemouth from other clubs for Rothwell https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19878551.blackburn-rovers-stance-joe-rothwell-future-bids-rejected/

Obviously target the win but a draw here wouldn't be terrible. Il go 0-1

Forest are 9 points behind us and Boro 10, I honestly don't see those 2 catching us. Yeah we won't win every game but they won't either.Still a chance Forest lose Brennan before deadline aswell
