I love van Hecke as much as the next fan, but if we’re playing 4 at the back over 5 then I’m not sure he’s suited. He was brilliant as a central defender in a 3, sweeper style, but there were times in a back 4 he seemed too rash at times, left us in trouble more often than should have been

All sounds like a panic over nothing to me

I’d pinpointed this weekends game as our first defeat of the season after the first 3 wins. The fact we’re heading there after being hammered by a dire Reading team fills me with all sorts of dread and an expectation of a pummelling. They’ll stick Sharp on Phillips and he’ll have a torrid time.

Their injury problems are that bad?? Wow. Getting that feeling I got before the Hull game at the end of last year (before it got postponed and our season nosedived)

I’m saying he is… can’t imagine any fans of united or city would be trawling through a Blackburn Rovers message board

From Manchester and not a Rovers fan. Rovers picked him up early teens, was told Crystal Palace were the main other team in for him at the time but obviously Rovers made more sense for a lad still at school in Manchester

You on a time delay?

Phil Jones had a cracking debut against a top Chelsea team, little bit older than Phillips at the time but still goes to show a youngster can thrive in that situation. I say give Phillips the chance to prove himself. Could add a couple of million to his price tag if he excels

Did it with Brereton didn’t they? Though the transfer had already been announced so it wasn’t a surprise or anything

Dennis to Forest for £20 million. Mad prices. Forest very much going down the splurge to survive route. Doesn’t usually go well.

Medical at Watford apparently. Would have loved him here. Proper handful

Doubt they could do that immediately. In January sure, but not now

Probably quite difficult to do. If they’re quality they’d be in their current team.

Did he ask him to move?

About 2 months ago yeah

He hasn’t signed yet… who says he isn’t doing that??

Says the one making the effort to post every other day about how bothered you are about a lack of transfers. My knickers are completely untwisted pal, not losing my shit like you.

If the amount of pages is what’s upsetting you then don’t look…

Hard to argue with that. He’s seemingly made of tissue as well

Can’t see a correlation there I’m afraid, if it was a one in one out policy half of this message board wouldn’t be having panic attacks at our lack of business

Can’t see anyone in the prem coming in for him now so might be his best hope of a big move

No think he’s just blurting again

Perhaps fraud is strong. I would certainly say he’s been very fortunate though. A good manager would have been able to keep Fulham up with the money he was allowed to spend there. I expect Bournemouth this season to be up there as one of the worst performing premier league teams this decade

His two promotions have been with teams who have spent millions and they’ve scraped over the line both times. The amount of scrappy late wins they got against poor teams last season… Fulham fans think he’s awful, a good chunk of Bournemouth fans do too

Yeah. Two frees. One from the championship, one crock from West Ham’s bench. Going to enjoy their demise. Parker is a fraud.
