We are in serious dire need of a solid transfer rumour.

Would be against this, save the little finances we have for players of more proven quality in positions of higher importance such as left back, centre mid or back up GK. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t bring anyone else in, especially with how quiet things seem to have gone. Felt like ages since we’ve had a proper rumour.

BB is knackered. What a shift from him today.

BB‘a all round game has been excellent.

Great half!

Have to say our contract situation is extremely worrying. There’s about 4-6 players who are all in need of long term contracts.

Just give us a first choice left back!

Would of loved to have seen a midfield of buckley Travis holtby.

Kevin McDonald available on a free transfer from Fulham. Would be all over that if the wages arnt too much. Can play in central midfield and at CB and has two promotions in 3 seasons with Fulham.

The end of that interview seems to suggest we won’t be bringing in a new left back. Which is very worrying. It is simply unforgivable if we don’t bring someone in there. It will cost us massively.

Play how we have in the previous 3 games and we will win this. Seems like a good time to play Derby aswell. kaminski nymabe Lenihan Williams JRC Rothwell Johnson Holtby Dolan Arma BB Wouldn't be against starting bell and saving JRC for the bench. If we have a new left back then I would throw him straight in aslong as he’s fit.

So are we expecting a signing/announcement tomorrow?

Agreed Arma - 20 million Dack - 15 million Travis - 10 million lenihan - 5 million nymabe - 5 million Dolan - 5 million Thats about 60 million worth of assists there I reckon. Of course a lot of those values rely on tying down players to long term contracts, but aside from maybe travis I feel those values are realistic. In the cases of Arma, Dolan and even Dack they could even go up 5 million further each with a successful season. In terms of where we currently are at with incoming, I think we should go all out to secure a quality perm left back. A loan would just put us in the same position next summer. I’m happy with where we are at in the centre back department. The emergence of Williams means we have 3 decent experienced CBs, with 2-3 emerging young ones to provide cover. We do need a back up keeper for sure, however I would rather gamble of the fitness of Kaminski than risk a season of bell as first choice. In terms of midfield and attack, Whiteman and Jozwiak would of been the dream, but we probably have enough to get by, and both departments have started the season extremely well. The start of the season has been so encouraging, we have looked like a promotion worthy side at times, but there is important work to be done in the market if we are to sustain that. On a side note, are the people who suggested that someone had signed sticking with that knowledge? Are we waiting until Monday to announce? Or are we assuming that ‘the source’ got it wrong?

Every points to us being serious playoff contenders this season. Another fantastic performance. This is without Dack, Travis, Gally, Evans and Manning (?). Can only see positives right now.

Finally the good performances being rewarded!

I would imagine it’s a knock for nymabe rather than being dropped. Travis injury in midweek may have swayed TM to be more cautious with players that are carrying a knock. A big positive though from that selection that I’m suprised peopke haven’t picked up on is that Bennett hasn’t replaced him. Really need a win today. Our season starts today!

Most QPR fans speak very highly of him, both defensively and attacking. From what it sounds like he’ll very much suit our current style of play, which is a massive bonus.

I remember that, didn’t the Lancashire telegraph do an article on it? Something about our team line up getting linked on forums. Henning Berg was furious. Wonder what happened to him.

All the noises seem to be that it’s Manning. Which would be a really class signing all things considered. Still got a gut feeling that we’re gonna end up missing out for whatever reason though and be back to square one.

wouldn’t be surprised at all if we don’t get any announcement today. This is Blackburn after all.

If this is true then I can definitely see manning being TM’s number one target which we are hoping to get. Would be a great signing if so.

Pears was first choice for Boro for large periods of last season I think.

I don’t think he will be coming in this window but a midfield 3 of travis - holtby - whiteman would be very strong with whiteman offering some real balance with him being left footed. On the flip side you could drop travis and whiteman abit deeper and play dack ahead of them when he’s fit.

Let’s see if he has a name.

I’ve heard he’s asked to leave. A couple of prem and champ teams interested in him. Would take him back in a heartbeat but I do feel he’s ready for the prem and that should be his logical next step.
