Bennett should not play at No 10. If anything Travis would be more suited to that position.

Mowbray said he was only buying people as backup, not to go into the team.

Ryan Manning: A) why would qpr sell at a ridiculously low price to a league rival B why would he want to leave playing every week to come sit on the bench behind Amari Bell?? The more we hear about the transfer goings on at rovers the more amateur it sounds.

Ben Gladwin at no 10 > Bennett at no 10 Still think it strange that we just let Gladwin leave for nothing. Same will happen with Samual, Bell, Williams, Smallwood, Chapman etc. All supposedly part of the ‘buy young then sell on’ policy.

Says a lot about Brereton not being picked ahead of Bennett/Gallagher when we’re this stretched.

Bennett at No.10

The annual losses need to be adjusted to add back the academy costs (£3m?) and there will be £3m profit on Raya. So we're not exactly on the brink of Ffp like the club would have everyone believe.

So we wasted the whole window after a 19 year old kid from Chelsea on the verge of a big money Premiership move and a guy from Newcastle on £30k a week. There’s a summary of championship signings on the sky sports page, Christ even Luton and Barnsley look to have brought in some interesting players. Let alone all the top 10 who have signed a lot of potentially very good signings.

We’re not even trying to avoid FFP. It suits everyone at Ewood as an excuse for lack of progress. We’re the only team in the league not to make a single signing.

Late in the summer we bid £1m+wages for Reed. He turned it down, but it shows there is space in the budget. The transfer process from Waggot, Mowbray down to the scouts is a complete joke.

"We've played Stewart Downing at left-back - who's to say Charlie Mulgrew can't play left back and serve balls forward?" #Blackburn #Rovers manager Tony Mowbray reflects on the return of Charlie Mulgrew from Wigan. BBc Radio Lancashire.

Left back: Mowbray already said earlier this month that Mulgrew might be able to play there.

Not sure if mentioned, but some Birmingham fans saying they had a deal agreed for Brereton (loan I presume) but have now moved on.

Unfortunately in Tony's mind: Bennett > JRC

Yesterday Mowbray said he's only looking to sign players as backup, not to go into our first XI. He needs his head checking if he thinks he's going to be able to attract a lad from Chelsea who was obviously attracting big money interest from other Premier League clubs to come and sit on our bench.

Apparently having a medical at Brighton ahead of a £4.5m move. Way out of our league. Complete waste of time and cock up by the scouting team if true we made any sort of approach.

Spot on. The league is poor this year. We’ve a chance to make the playoffs. A few new faces to freshen up the squad would go a long way. If you’re going to throw £15m a year at the club it makes no sense not to gamble and sign a couple of loans. LB and RW being the priority. No lessons learnt from last year whatsoever.

The Bennett effect

Right sided attacker needed to replace SG in the starting line up.

I still think the club could make it easier for fans living out of the town to get to Ewood. Getting to the ground on public transport or driving and parking is a pain if you’ve got further to travel. My suggestion would be shuttle buses from Darwen station. Other clubs do it.

We need more since selling Raya. This summer is going to be a nightmare, with the need for 2 GK, RB, LBx2, CBx2

Didn’t we also bid for Reed? (Albeit an unrealistic low bid) and another keeper in addition to Walton? I think a bit more money was there, no loads but some.

True. Like a new signing!

Well there should be at least the wages freed up by Cunningham going back.

If Championship clubs are interested in Smallwood we should be looking to get a loan fee for him. Why help out other clubs in the same division without any benefit to us.
