rovers11 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Rodwell is a no brainier on a cheap short term deal. If he gets anywhere near the levels he’s capable of then he’ll be the best cm at the club by a country mile. Signing Reed as well on loan means we are very overloaded on central midfielders. Travis will go out on loan, Whittingham will probably go, and Smallwood will become a reserve. Not sure where this leaves Davenport, I can’t see him getting a look in. Rothwell will most likely play further forward. We neee a new striker (or two) and a wide player and then I think we’ve got a good squad. Dark horses for the play offs?

Would Hemed have come up north though?Agree would have been a good signing but seems Mowbray is targetting a younger striker,If nobody is brought in then i'l rue missing out on the likes of Hemed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Sunderland fan I would say “Mowbray and Rodwell a match made in heaven.” For those who say Mowbray doesn’t take risks with the dressing room Karma , fasten your seatbelts.

Yeah agree with this.Perhaps he is being told by Waggot or Cheston that things are close but if nobody signs today it will be the last 3 weeks we have been promised a signing with nobody joining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did he last get to the level he is capable of? 8 years ago when he was at Everton? Everything I have read so far, suggests he wouldn’t be brought in as a CM, he would be playing as a CH.

He wanted Bauer clearly but Charlton wouldn't play ball,perhaps go back in for him in January Still not totally against signing Rodwell on a cheap And short term contract with incentives to make the contract longer and more lucrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Rover Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/championship-round-up-blackburn-earn-draw-and-close-on-jack-rodwell-8sksmfrhs Looks like Rodwell is a go. Good signing in my opinion - he clearly has ability. Up to Tony and the squad to kick him up the backside and make him realize it.
