  1. So we ain't allowed to say we think it is bullshit? Last week the "rumours" were he was going to Burnley. Nobody having a go at the member who posted it, just think it's a load of waffle. Rothwells Mrs decided she wanted to move to Bournemouth 24 hours after our manager went in front of the media and said Rothwell wasn't going anywhere? It doesn't make sense for this to be true.
  2. I know your only passing it on but I don't believe that. Last week he was going to Burnley according to the rumours
  3. They have offers from top flight clubs.A player of his standing won't be going on loan to a Championship club
  4. Been doing well for Reading to be fair and can be a handful. Their recent signing Dyke out for 8 weeks
  5. Andy Carroll having a medical at West Brom
  6. JRC is not a wingback/ Full back.Nyambe superior You have hardly seen Zeefuik, a decent cameo granted. You seem to think because the manager prefers JRC then it must be right.You wanted him out yourself last season
  7. Even the player himself doesn't see wing back as the position he wants to play going forward. Last season if memory serves me right he played well in a few of the hidings we dished out when no defending had to be done. Robertson wouldn't be playing for Liverpool if he couldn't defend. He is a decent prospect and has some good attributes but not in that position for me
  8. Lots of the fan base?The manager yes.So you think he can defend? If you would be happy with JRC 1 side and Edun the other then no convincing you. Nyambe is the better option
  9. What so in the history of the game a manager has never been wrong about a player? Mowbray threw Raya under a bus and he has since gone on to get promoted been linked with 15 million moves to Arsenal and if he was fit and made available for transfer would have no shortage of takers. Kaminski yes has been a good signing but that doesn't take away from the fact we lost a goalkeeper with outstanding potential in Raya for 5 million and since he has gone on to get promoted and is valued probably 4 times what we got for him. Was he right when he persisted with Bell for as long as he did? This Zeefuik may turn out to be better than Nyambe but we wouldn't be as solid with JRC playing wing back we already have one player in Edun we don't want to leave isolated on the other side. We are getting the results with Nyambe in the side not JRC and no evidence to support JRC inclusion ahead of Nyambe at full back or wing back
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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/
  14. Probably clickbait but a piece earlier on Lenihen https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/darragh-lenihan-exclusive-five-premier-league-clubs-chasing-blackburn-defender
  15. Elliot was starting for Liverpool until he got injured and is considered their best young player.No chance they would let him out permanently
  16. 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 .
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Diallo who was mentioned as a possible loan signing is joining Rangers for rest of season
  21. 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
  22. Plus iv read and heard that Dack gets paid 18.5k a week
  23. 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
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
