[Archived] Transfer Window - January 2016

[roversoutsider]

The Olsson to Derby thing seems to have gone quiet the last couple days? Derby fans were confident it was done and dusted for a fee of 750k( off their forum) . I'd imagine the board have temporarily "stalled" any incomings pending Clement's position seeing as he could very well be sacked. Surely the Olsson deal wouldn't go through if they're thinking of doing that.

Interesting that Robbo has gone to Burnley. Good move for both parties it has to be said. Burnley have a lot of exprienced players in that squad now. Leaders that we desperately lack. These are the sort of characters you need in the dressing room while going through a tough run. We lack any fighters or natural leaders in our squad. But it's interesting that the same Burnley fans that used to mock him for being fat and what else now think he is an excellent signing. They even had a song for Robbo didn't they? Always used to get mouthfuls while playing for us against that lot and now they're @#/? their pants that he's signed for them.

Exclusive: Derby set to land Blackburn defender Olsson http://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-derby-set-to-land-blackburn-defender-olsson?

I'm not saying Olsson is average and won't be missed, bu......

.......oh look a fire engine!!

The lad is nothing but quick legs. Getting a decent fee is a clever move under the circumstances.

[JBiz]

Do we have any decent left backs to step up from the academy? We certainly need to replace Marcus, regardless of the opinion of his ability.

If we can invest the money - what would the priority be? A new CM or a backup to Spurr. if we are truly hamstrung by FFP unlike other teams, then creativity and nouse from the scouting and backroom team is going to be hugely important.

[chaddyrovers]

Blackburn. Derby. Olsson move still going right way. QPR were sniffing. But Derby should get him.

We've been crying out for a creative midfielder.

Spurr or Henley can fill in at LB until the summer.

Be nice if it drove the price up a bit.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

I shed no tears about robbo. handsomely rewarded.questionable fitness which may not have been his fault. dipping performance levels. he doesn't improve burnley a jot given Heaton s quality.if he has to play it's bad news for them.

[Husky]

As far as I am aware Robbo can't play because teams can't get insurance for him/ridiculous premiums because of the blood clot he had.

So only a team with LOADSAMONEY could potentially take him on?

Is it a game of who can mention as many players as possible in the hope that one happens to sign and you get a modicum of reflected glory ?

Roque Santa Cruz!

I'm sure he's missing the Blackburn weather.

What ever happened to his little brother?

Yes,as in quicker ones than Spurr.

The key question is, will we replace him with better?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Interested to see Olsson being described as a " Defender " . That's not how I see him.

[rigger]

If we play three at the back, it solves both full-back problems in one, also it doesn't cost a penny.

Will it improve the team?

It couldn't be much worse!

I'd like to see it given a go. I think it could be the formation that suits the personnel we have best. Who knows? Could work!

[Amo]

Bennett played right wing-back for Bristol this season. Who would play left WB?

I'd rather see us play a 4-2-3-1 formation.

[Tom]

Olsson gone to Derby, Telegraph reckons we are guaranteed £750k maybe up to £1m

Fantastic money if true

Markus Olsson would be ideal
