January Transfer Window.

11/65 exceptions panel - could probably be sorted if that Calculator is accurate. Mindful that different sites often give different results for these. -

This Krasso guy looks good from the YouTube videos I’ve just watched of him, granted, they always do on highlight clips. I will also add - the standard of football in Ligue 2 looks abysmal. Krasso does look like he has some solid raw attributes though! Certainly could be one of these unpolished gems we’re hoping to sniff out. -

Undav will end up in the French/Belgian top flight on loan. If WBA are pushing, which they apparently are, O’Brien will most certainly be going there. Painful! Having to replay yesterdays game on deadline day hasn’t done us any favors either, we had great chances to put that game to bed. Anyway… I’d still really like to see us move for Josh Onomah from Fulham. Would be a squeeze financially sure, but what a difference he could make. -

Fuming about the handling of the whole BBD situation. Humiliating really… Anyway - he’s been off his game for a while now, and I doubt he’ll be of much use to us for this back end of the season with Spain on his mind. We need to try and move him now, super low - tell Villarreal he can be theirs now for what, £3/4m? Doubt Ben will want to move yet though, with the baby and whatnot. -

Exciting - but seemingly not an all out number 9, which is interesting. BBD on the move this month perhaps? Got a feeling Dyche might try to snap him up for Everton, as well as Gyokeres. -

If we actually went and swapped Hayden Carter for Colby Bishop - that'd be the final straw. I'd have to give it up and deem myself one of these "I don't really follow football" people. "I support my legs, because they support me!" 🥴 -

Solid player, but I doubt he ticks the boxes for Greg. 29 years old ❌ £15k a week wages ❌ Not much resale potential ❌ -

I recall you backing us to sign 2 players before the game tomorrow (pretty sure it was you, apologies if not) - 1 down, but do you still think that? Really hope Greg can work some magic, we have glaring issues and time is ticking! -

Would like us to ask about Josh Onomah, he's been given permission to leave Fulham - good player, only 25 and has plenty of resale potential. Contract at Fulham expires this summer, with the option for a further year. Could be a bit pricey, but a loan with the option to buy maybe? -

Loan without an option it seems - absolutely gash that, just sayin'! -

Sorba Thomas has a MV of £5m on Transfermarkt, and is contracted to Huddersfield until 2026. How much money are they going to want there then?! Would probably have to be a loan - which would be pretty poor from us IMO. -

It's a shame we're going to lose Diaz... our best player, our top bagger. He'll be tough to replace. We could go for Siriki Dembele maybe? Or uncover a gem from the Scandi' leagues? Could be exciting actually! Who could we get? Ronan f**king Curtis baby, RC11. -

There are a few 'in the know' posters on here, who have previously shared bits with us. I haven't really seen any of that this January though. I guess the Club are keeping a pretty tight lid on transfers from now on, which is probably for the best! -

Will be pissed if Middlesbrough get JPVH on loan. Really can't stand them! I wish them nothing but misery and failure. In saying that, I feel like Brighton might want to keep JP around. So it probably won't happen. -

Wouldn't be fussed if we missed out on Porteous, not in the slightest. If Ayala is released - Hyam and Scott Wharton make a solid pair at this level. Plus, our midfield has been costing us games, not our defenders. Signing Porteous would impede the development of our younger defenders, more specifically i'm thinking of Ash Phillips. We're incredibly fortunate to have a young prospect like Phillips in our ranks, given his potential he's probably the envy of most clubs in the country - including teams in the PL! We need to give Ash opportunities, help him fulfil his potential, and give him a reason to commit to the Club long-term. The financial benefits that we'd reap from this, could be off the scale. If we truly are a development squad, this is what we need to do. Forget about Porteous I say. Put the money towards an experienced CDM who can complement the likes of Buckley and Adam Wharton. -

Is it too late for them to move in for Bezza Diaz as a quick replacement? £6m and JPVH sounds fair! -

Could do with this getting over the line pronto, 20% sell-on clause isn't it? That'd be around £3-4m if he went to United... but it'lll be more around £5-6m when they manage to shaft £30m out of Chelsea. -

I'd be well on board with that. Unfortunately though, he'll probably go to Norwich or WBA if anywhere. -

Looks good this Undav doesn't he? Definitely a bagger - exactly what we're crying out for. He'll thrive at WBA/Norwich. -

Pretty much! With teams like Udinese interested, our chances of landing Porteous are close to zero i'd assume. This part I found interesting; "Leeds United attacker Joe Gelhardt is a live target, although it is understood that he isn’t currently the No.1 option, with other deals in the works which have so far remained under the radar." We'll drag our feet with Gelhardt, and miss out on him... great. I wonder who this "No.1 option" could be? Considering George Hirst was previously that, my expectations are low... let's just hope they get it right this time. -

Thought we had a clear run at this Porteous lad, would have been a great bit of business... then in swoop Udi-f***ing-nese. Annoying! Guess he'll be playing against us for Watford next month. -
v Bristol City (a) - 21/1/23
TheRevAshton replied to joey_big_nose's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bristol City haven't been awarded a penalty in a very very long time... hilariously, their fans have even set up a website tracking how long it's been since their last one (https://www.bristolcitypenalty.co.uk/). Now that it's gone viral, I wonder who will resolve that for them? Rovers of course! The gift that just keeps on giving. This I feel, is absolutely nailed on. Nakhi Wells (it'll have to be him) will be clean through early on, before being brought down in the box... the home fans can't believe it, finally a Penalty! Wells will step up to take it, slot it and proceed to 'shush' our travelling fans. That'll be 1-0 to them, which of course, also means 3 points for them. The match will probably finish 2-0, since Wells will then go and randomly smash one in from 30 yards or something, shushing our fans again. We experience more heartbreak, with a hint of betrayal, as we slide down to about 8th.
