I want to see Rothwell in centre mid at home anyway.If Dack is fit tomorrow I would pair him with Evans and leave Bennett where he is if Mowbray is going with 2 dm then I would drop Smallwood and play Bennett in midfield but I think Rothwell would be excellent driving forward bringing Dack into play everytime the ball comes near Smallwood at minute it's like a hot potato in the palm of his hand

Are you starting the bring back kaba Diawara campaign or am I?

Amen brother

Doesn't matter what we think he won't be Mowbray's choice to play in centre midfield he isn't first choice there now and if we are bringing in Reed and Davenport gets fit he will be further away in Mowbray's mind plus Mowbray has said a few times he likes to Bennett wide of the three.I agree with you though he should play there more often if he will do it For what it's worth Nixon said earlier that the reed deal had hit issues so May be it was never happening in the first place or the phone is permanently engaged in India

UpWould really love to see Rothwell start in the middle of the park tomorrow. Doubt Tony will be brave enough though.Think we will see Smallwood again, I hope he puts in a better performance than the other night. If there was one player I wanted to make the step up it was Smallwood.Last season I was a bit meh when he signed but to be fair to him certainly at the start of the season he was excellent. So far he hasn't looked great though, it's still early days but the fact he stood out for Rotheram when they were in league 1 but the next season in the championship he ended up getting sent back to league one is a worry If he doesn't start Rothwell beside Evans then I hope he will play him in the middle of the 3 if Dack isnt fit.Was very impressed with Rothwell the other night he does look a player. Be interesting to have a look at Davenport too when he gets fit had a good spell at Burton last season and in fairness you don't last at a big club like city till your that age if you have nothing about you teams like city, Chelsea etc have the cream of the crop and just because you don't make the grade there doesn't mean you can't be a quality championship player If Reed happens we are going to have another midfielder so 4 defensive types so just don't see Mowbray wanting to play Rothwell back in midfield

BBC Lancashire Sport (@BBCLancsSport) Tweeted: "It's time to press the restart button on his career" #Blackburn head coach Tony Mowbray on the arrival of Jack Rodwell. #Rovers #bbclancssport #bbcfootball https://t.co/nWYB8Jtdie

After missing out on Harrison Reed and all our other top targets he is negotiating with West Bromwich to bring back wonderkid Rekeem Harper

In talks with Fleetwood. We have enough of his type anyway Dack,Palmer or Rothwell play in the position he will want to play

Even more stupid is this loan to buy thing, in essence it's a permanent transfer. The efl should have just kept their window open till August 31st or close the whole thing on the 9th

If Nixon is correct and another team has come in for Brereton it's just going to make it even more complicated and most likely make it drag on till Friday.

I think Brereton is a talent Chaddy but I'm hoping it's not going to be too expensive.5 or 6 million yeah I'd definitely take him even maybe a deal rising to 8, any more than that and surely we could have found better value. I will back Mowbray's decision though but really hope there is nothing in this Sylla link. Wish I could just fast forward to next Friday to be honest,see what squad we have and focus on the football.

No I only seen someone say it on here and on Twitter. I would take what he says with a huge pinch of salt, he said Freeman was having a medical on deadline day

Maybe not but hardly an exciting signing that both Waggot and Mowbray suggested would be coming to the club.

I don't think anyone can be blamed for being on edge at this late stage of the window. If you have read my posts throughout this window iv been quite optimistic we would be bringing in some quality. But we don't seem any closer to bringing in signings of quality. At the end of the day at the beginning of the summer I thought we would have a modest budget and would be shopping for bargains.It was only when Waggot and Mowbray both spoke of making exciting signings that I started to believe we had a decent budget and we would bring in a couple of quality players that would go into our first 11. Quite a few players have moved to clubs with small budgets for reasonable fees that would have improved us yet we seem to have spent the summer chasing players we had no chance of bringing in.Now we are being linked with a qpr reserve a team who's start has put them amongst the relegation candidates. I will wait till next Friday to give my final judgement but even the most positive of fans must be getting a bit concerned now.

He signed a new contract with Wednesday earlier in the week

No doubt the club will tell us it was an incredibly hard window to do deals in but not to worry we still have plenty in the kitty and will go again in January

It's not just him though is It? And show me in my post where i said because Nixon said It, it's true?

Nixon tweeting about Sylla now...great we are potentially signing a qpr reserve be a mad dash for season tickets

I wanted us to take a chance on Brereton when the fee was being mooted as 5 or 6 million and we were being told we had a healthy budget and it was being made out we also had money to bring in Freeman as well. But I'm struggling to understand why we are even still talking to forest with some of the figures being suggested. Players like Bradshaw and a few others are moving to clubs for low fees whilst from the outside looking in seems we are wasting our time persuing a player that his current club are looking for silly money for. I honestly can't wait for this window to close

Yeah was reading it will break their previous record of just under 900k in 1989

This week, think it was Wednesday.Woodrow from Fulham going to Barnsley on loan to replace him Just checked went through yesterday

Gone on loan to Millwall.Will become their record signing for 1 million when the window opens in January Harris has done a great job there

It wasn't even Nixon who broke the Brereton story? The story about us upping our bid to 8 million also wasn't from Nixon

It probably will get done but still being told Wednesday night to expect a couple in on Thursday only for just Rodwell to come in doesn't make me rest easy. The clock is ticking and with the injuries we have suffered we might really need ti get some additions in.

Seen on Twitter that Jim white said on talkshite that Rovers willing to pay up to 14million for Brereton and a deal will be done next week.14 million yeah right, how can they come out with that crap. Nixon said we are still working on it but nothing near those numbers
