January Transfer window

Fadz to Chesterfield is done - apparently trained today and has been spotted in the clobber here; I wish him well, top professional. Massively contributed to saving our asses last season. -

Same, unfortunately. If only our Billionaire owners had a bit of ambition/interest! -

I've mentioned 3 very good loans there that would massively increase our chances of promotion to the Premier League. Most of the Clubs that go up do so by loaning top players from higher up, who they wouldn't be able to afford to sign permanently. 4 months of wage contributions, for a couple of top players, isn't going to spaff away £40m. -

He can play on the LW or as a ST, he's exactly what we need; big, strong, quick and hungry to prove himself... they need to make this one happen! The ideal end to this window for me looks something like; LB - Harry Toffolo (Loan) CM - Lewis O'brien (Loan) LW - Thelo Aasgaard (Perm) ST - Jayden Danns (Loan) ST - Richard Kone (Perm) Before anyone says it; I fully agree and acknowledge that this is incredibly unlikely, wishful thinking, never gonna happen under these owners etc. However, this is what a Club in our position should be doing - and what i'd consider to be an ideal bit of business in this window. What we're actually going to end up with, looks nothing like the above. -

Oh yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend signing him - but can see him coming on our radar very soon. Everything you mentioned there points to him being available on the cheap, which is the only criteria that matters to our lot. -

Malcolm Ebiowei is a player I could see us targeting, had his loan cut short at Oxford a couple of weeks ago since they only started him once. Palace will be keen to get him playing and will probably let us have him with a low wage contribution, Waggott will be all over it. Not sure if he's any good like... probably not considering he was out of favour at Oxford, but you know - cost saving etc. -

Not gonna lie, I was convinced you were Elliott until I saw how long you’ve been a member! Being a Wednesday fan, I highly doubt he’d have been a member since 2006… 👀 -

I’ve a method of bypassing the paywall/signup on Desktop for anyone who’s quite advanced on the web, it includes using DevTools and altering the throttling on the browser… not for everyone tbh but anyone who’s interested I can let you know how! Pretty easy if you’re a web developer or similar! -

Elliott Jackson: "Eustace says Rovers had made a bid for a player, presumably Thomas-Asante." Mate... don't presume, make a few calls and find out - you're a fucking reporter 🤣 -

Can't see it unfortunately, Gloop's wages will be way too high for us. -

Dane Scarlett has been recalled from his loan at Oxford, fully expect our cheapskate muppets to be all over that one. -

I feel sorry for any gaffer who ends up working here under these owners and their minions, they simply never stand a chance. Especially someone like Eustace who, as well as being a fantastic coach, seems like an absolute gentleman. Pains me to say such things... Outside of my family and a few close friends, there are very few things that I love more than this Football Club. We're just stuck in absolute limbo, it's a genuine nightmare. The same shit season after season. Every now and again there is a glimmer of hope, yet it's consistently sabotaged by the very people who will benefit as much as anyone from the Club's success. -
v Coventry City (h) - 21/01/25
TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
With Travis and Tronstad both out, Cov' will run the show in the middle. They have pacey full-backs, so our wingers will be completely ineffective. Can't see anything but a Coventry win and clean sheet here, i'll go with a 0-2 loss... and in classic Rovers fashion, it'll obviously be Brandon Thomas-Asante who scores both. -

Would be a smart bit of business, though like you said the wages would be an issue - he'd have to take a big pay-cut to come here. Massive resale potential if he could find his groove. -

Do we currently have a better winger than him though? Absolutely not. Think they got him for around £800k. For context; We paid £500k for Connor O'Riordan, £750k for Dilan Markanday and over £1.5m for Makhtar Gueye. The bottom line is; Eustace really wanted him, he's better than any of our wingers, and he was going for a modest fee (considering his experience and age). We should have got him. -

Current status of the squad; 4 of our main starters (Carter, Pickering, Travis and Ohashi), and now our best player (Tronstad) all injured. We already had nothing up top, now we have nothing in the middle either... these simpletons need to act now and help Eustace out. I honestly had a feint bit of hope that they wouldn't pull this shit again, and that they'd back the gaffer at least a little - how foolish of me. -

Eustace paints a frustrated figure in the latest LET article, again reiterating how he needs reinforcements - along with the classic 'nothing imminent' message. It couldn't be more clear that we're lacking quality in attack, we'd have possibly won the Oxford game had they brought in a decent winger and a striker in the last 20 days of the window... We're very fortunate that other results went our way over the weekend, we'd be down to about 8th right now had they not. There are now 14 days left of the window, with 3 games plotted in during that period... they need to stop pissing around now and put their hands in their pockets for the gaffer. He'll be gone at the end of the season if he isn't backed in this window, I feel sure of that - and he isn't short of admirers. -

Good spot! Any news on incomings? Really hoping you can deliver some good news and brighten the place up a little 😅 -

Remember this, was when a bunch of teams were after him too. Massive respect to the lad - loyalty like that is uncommon these days! -

True, that probably was their intention until Tronstad went down. If Garrett’s in the squad for the Cov’ game on Tuesday, it’ll tell us everything we need to know about our budget, and of the ambitions of those in charge. Oh no, I don’t think they will. I mean they should… but they won’t. -

TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Absolutely fucked if that’s true about Tronstad. It was bad enough that Travis was out… but both?! They need to bring in a proper midfielder on loan, not a dogshit squad filler, a proper player who can even compete with the 2 of those for a place when they’re fully fit. Lewis O’Brien, Massimo Luongo or someone of a similar ilk. Unfortunately though, there’s no chance with these muppets. It’ll be Buckley, JRC, Forshaw and Garrett for the foreseeable - so we’ll gradually slip out of the playoffs, and into mid-table. -

Optimistic! I'll go... LB - Coventry's 5th choice LB (Loan) LW - Martial Godo (Loan) ST - Lukas Jutkiewicz (Free) -
