That *was* the January Window
booth replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Didn't someone say we were looking to sign two, to replace Gallagher (if he goes) and Ennis (who will be sent on loan)? -

He scored 15 goals in his last season for Blackpool, which was a poor team and got relegated. As a Rovers player Gallagher has managed a maximum of 9, once. He's not having a great season according to Swansea fans, yet he's their top goalscorer with 7 so far. Some of them say he doesn't seem to have settled. They want rid. He's always looked a much better player than Gallagher to me, quicker reactions, getting on the end of crosses and willing to take a crack from outside of the box. I think under JDT, and with Szmodics he'd flourish. -

£2m + a percentage of Gallagher's wages available. Jerry Yates? I'd say that's an upgrade and I also think he'd be better suited to JDT's system. -

I imagine that 2 year extension would come with a wage increase, to an already high wage. So not sensible considering we won't get that level of performance in the Championship week in week out. He seems to be getting ever more injury prone, and we'll never see £2m again. Obviously that comes with the caveat that we get to use the £2m and the wages saved to sign a replacement/replacements. -

Jerry Yates and the lad from Orlando would look to be the best we can do under the present circumstances. Well I'd hope that's the case. We won't get that much for Gallagher again. -

He struggled but grew into it. He looked very nervous. -

Wrexham's manager seemed a bit deluded. He forgot that Garrett (I think) and Pears helped them to a soft goal. "Then we could have scored two more before they scored..." We could have had two before Wrexham scored 🤷♂️ If we had a better bench we'd have scored more. -

That's £2m extra for Gallagher please Ipswich. -

Same old Rovers. 15 minutes of dominance but keeper not tested. Then we concede and give up. Who was it who gave the ball away cheaply for their goal? -

I'll applaud Broughton if he can get £2m for Gallagher. -

I remember a Chelsea fan laughing when we signed Le Saux. “He’s facking awful.” -

Since when has anything they've done made any sense? They wanted to sell him before the end of last season, with a view to a Summer sale. He rejected it on the grounds that he loves Rovers and wants to develop here. They then gave him a longer contract. Presumably if they couldn't cash in they wanted to tie him down. Palace come in in January and suprise everyone with a mega offer, they turn it down. Presumably because the penny has dropped that he's worth more than they originally thought so they are trying to squeeze every last penny out of them. If we've learned anything from them they are stupid and make silly decisions. Time will tell whether this is one of them. One thing that you aren't considering here is that in the corridors of power they aren't all on the same page. -
I did but then he replied to someone else, and after reading it I realised he was a lost cause. So I deleted my reply. There are others with similar views but without the antagonism who I’d happily debate it with. Especially younger fans who may not know or remember when the club was ran properly. It seems to be the older fans who are defending Venkys.

I’ll be fair, they seem to be holding out for extra now, but that’s only after they’ve seen what PL clubs value him at. -

They were pushing him to go last season but he dug his heels in. He wanted to stay. Waggott wants to sell. He’s 19, has his family close and living his dream. However the money being offered for him to disappear to a far away land (aka Palace) is madness. If Rovers do sell for £20m it’s not because Waggott or the club held out. Thank Adam for that as he would have sold for a lot less in Summer. -

Some think that JDT has "sold" all the players that have gone out and been responsible for all the signings, so this wouldn't surprise me. I saw a bloke dissing him for signing Telalovic last week, saying this is the only type of player he can attract. -

I know it was a fact last season so I imagine you aren't far from the truth with your thoughts. -

It's going to happen, the lad will become a millionaire overnight, at 19. And if it does happen and we were running normally, we'd sign a prolific striker, a good midfielder and CB, and the best goalie any spare change will buy, and base the team around them with a view to a promotion push next season. Sell Gallagher, loan Ennis and use the money to bring in a good experienced forward to go alongside the striker. Let Leonard learn from them whilst being our super sub. Keep Szmodics. Sadly we aren't a normal club.
