TRANSFER THREAD - JANUARY 2021

Schindler and Sarr would arguably make our side with everybody fit. Although I do agree that Ayala is good, it's just there appears to be a major issue there with how many games he will play. I would actually say Keogh is a bit of a donkey on the ball alright, but he brings an awful lot to the table defensively and that's why he has had the career he has had. -

Well his strengths are definitely his leadership/organisational qualities. He's not Baresi when it comes to technical ability. What is it we need only exactly the qualities he has though? Bit of strange snobbish attitude from some fans on this I think. Let's see how he goes at Huddersfield. Who as I mentioned, have better centre halves than us currently. He's certainly not going there to sit on the bench. He said he wants to get back in the Ireland squad and if he does, it will be one of Lenihan and Williams who drops out of the squad (if they are even worthy of getting in what is a very poor squad at the moment, I don't think they should be for the record) . He's better than both of them, even at 34. He will more than likely play more games than Ayala too. -
Least surprising turn of events of the season.

I couldn't find any link to him anywhere. Sounds like he is decent though. -
Ya, fact. Around 7pm. If the rain in Lancashire is as bad as it has been here and with the state of the pitch the last day, I would say the groundsaff will be earning their wages to get it playable.

No, unfortunately not. Looks like he is off to Huddersfield and we probably won't bring another centre half in. -

Ah that reliable source. See my post above He's good enough for Huddersfield anyway by the sounds of it, who already have better centre halves than us. -

While at Derby, he was named player of the year twice, fans player of the year once ,players player of the year 3 times and got in the championship team of the season once. Got into the play offs with them 3 times. The majority of which time he was captain. So therefore I find some of these comments odd and pretty ill informed. He also won the player of the year award at Carlisle, Bristol city and Coventry at least once while he played with them. -

Did you ask them all over phone or did you send a questionnaire? -

I really don't get the error prone stuff, but not to sound smart, but ye really wouldn't have watched him very much, would you? There is a reason why he wins POTY so often and it's cos he's really not error prone. He's actually very steady. Anyway, I'm not saying he's the best out there, but he's available for a reasonable enough amount , has experience at this level, high level experience and the reality is we will probably end up with nobody. I think til the end of the season, he would be the absolute finest. We could have Johnson back there in February,ya know what I mean? -

He's twice the centre half Lenihan is. Even at 34 I'd say, after that injury. -

Have you heard me comment on Lenihan and Williams? I wouldn't say I give any favour. I have just seen plenty of Keogh and I have to say I was impressed. My mates would say I am the most critical about the Irish football team and players out of all of us 😂 So it's funny that people here think I'm biased. Ya, unreal. Testament to his character to get back to the championship after that, at his age, via league 1. Many players wouldn't have. -

Nyambe pushed Johnson for their goal. Like, why? It's not the first time I have seen our players push each other going up for stuff. It's just a lack of cohesion. I know clown pants was a gobshite, but didn't he get the group out doing team binding and stuff like that? We always seem so close to the payers dropping their heads and not fighting for each other. Any little setback or something goes against us and boom, there it is. I don't think Mowbrays attitude with his favourites and some being untouchable helps. The team spirit on the field seems very fragile. -

I reckon Johnson should focus on his current job for now. He doesn't appear to be doing it very well, unfortunately. -
Mowbrays Successor
Bigdoggsteel replied to Darwen Rover 007's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Exactly. Can't see why he would want to. Unless he has no other offers at this level. He will have offers I reckon though. -
Mowbrays Successor
Bigdoggsteel replied to Darwen Rover 007's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Mowbray definitely thinks that. It goes along with what I believe is his neglect of the defence. He thinks they should know who to defend because that's how it was in his day. -

Naming 3 ,including 1 who is/was the best manager in the world doesn't add up as any kind of proof. For every Mourinho,there are literally thousands of youth coaches who don't make the step up, you do understand that, don't you? Working with Blackburn rovers youths , who are all scrapping to make careers for themselves and would do whatever is asked of them, with no intention of talking back, is not any indicator that he could step up to managing high paid and experienced professionals. Some of whom who have achieved more than Johnson in their careers. It's completely different. Cooper has done ok. Still not achieved anything concrete with one of the best squads in the championship. So jury is still out. -

The mighty Steve Cooper is your example as to why Johnson would be good? Mmm, ok. What exactly has Cooper achieved, out of interest? I have given you the reasons why it's not the same as managing academy players. Giving Mourinho, Rodgers and ,ahem, Cooper as examples doesn't strengthen your argument. I see you have gone off tanget here. Telltale sign you have lost the argument. Not that it really felt like one to begin with. -
This is a typical one we would win to stop the rot, but it feels like things are different this time. Draw, at best. The misery continues.
