January Transfer window
TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
God it's dull at the minute. Having thought it through... I can't see us spending a single penny on transfer fees in this window. It'll be loans, with any permanent signings being free and short-term (until the end of the season). Can't stand our owners (plus their minions Waggott and Suhail) with their shady antics. The court case, that doesn't affect Rovers, has... - Stopped the owners funding the Club, they don't want to match the money they send with a guarantee. - Resulted in us selling our best players, to pay the bills for the owners. - Prevented us from properly investing in the playing squad, despite raking in over £40m. On second thought, maybe the court case does affect Rovers... perhaps even, a ridiculous amount. -

Wondering who we're gonna end up with as a striker in this window, just can't see us signing anyone of note. So i've had a look at all of the out-of-favour, unwanted strikers at other Clubs. At best, we might end up with Marcus Forss or Mileta Rajovic... not great I know. However, realistically it'll probably end up being one of Scott Hogan, Tom Bradshaw or Lukas Jutkiewicz. -

"We will absolutely respect the Jack Walker legacy." - Venky's Meanwhile, they flogged the best ever product of Jack's Academy to the first bidder, just to cover their bills for a couple of years! So much for respecting Jack's legacy, scumbags. -

McFadz and Siggy are almost certain to go in this window, possibly a couple more too. -

The window closes in 3 weeks, and so far we've only signed a semi-retired Forshaw and a League One benchwarmer. Neither are an improvement on what we already have. We still have key players missing, and urgently need signings. Current situation; Eustace still wants cover at LB, expect a ridiculously cheap loan or Forshaw type signing there. Then we of course need a LW and ST. They need to get these 2 signings right, no pissing around and cheaping out - wishful thinking though really, fully expecting Rudy and Waggott to sign a couple of useless tossers on the cheap. -
I wouldn't say so. True, they can fund us - but they seemingly don't want to with the current obstacles in place. My hope is that they fail with the case, and then come to the realisation that it's completely unsustainable having to fund the Club via the current method (having to match every £ sent with a bond).

Wallace if we can’t land Schlupp. Bamford a target. Sorry, but are we only able to sign players who are slow and past it? Have they forgotten that we have absolutely no pace in the squad already?! Absolute morons. Classic bit of sabotaging going on, but the sad reality is that we’ll actually end up signing worse players than those mentioned above. -

Ahh, I get you… this is realistically what we could (and should) be going for - but it’s true that our muppets won’t! We’ll actually end up with a couple more outcasts from lesser teams, of course. -

Harry Toffollo (Loan - Eustace still after a LB) Maxwell Cornet (Loan to buy if promoted) Reda Khadra (Permanent) Tom Cannon (Permanent) Jayden Danns (Loan) Genuinely think the above business gets us promoted. -

100% this. Dress it up however you like folks, but for a team that should be chasing the play-offs… they’re fucking shit signings. -

Heard we’re also signing Eustace’s window cleaner to play on the left wing. He's shite at footy, but you know… Eustace knows him. (before anyone asks… yes, on loan obviously) -

Fully expecting a “Fancy one more? 👀“ in a few minutes… they’ll be delivering us more great news by announcing Forshaw. -

For comparison… Last season Ipswich needed cover for Sam Morsy, they signed our captain (and one of our top earners) Lewis Travis who played until Morsy returned. Different levels of ambition. -

Adam Forshaw. Good lord - they’ve actually one-upped themselves with that one. They’re… evolving. The absolute stupid, shady, tight-fisted, cost-cutting, greedy, unambitious, short-sighted, embarrassing, shameless motherfuckers. We as fans deserve so much better, Venky’s out. -

Exactly this. I guarantee that Jonjo Shelvey will be an absolute beast in this league if Burnley land him, wish we were signing him. -

So you wouldn't take Shelvey at Rovers right now? -

Shelvey will rip up this league. Despite having one the best squads in the league already, Parker is being further backed with top players to help the dingles over the line... this is why yet again, they'll go up again first time of asking. Then you have our set of muppets. -

"Promotion to the Premier League was estimated in 2024 to be worth up to £265 million to the play-off final winner." - Over £40m in the last couple of years from players sales. ✅ - Reinvested practically fuck all back into the playing squad. ❌ - Against all odds, Eustace has us around the top 6.✅ - Awful amount of injuries to key players, no depth. ❌ - 6 games in the next 3 weeks. ❌ Our billionaire owners need to act now. If they just invested a mere £8m or so (less than a quarter of the income) into the playing squad, it'd massively boost our chances of reaching the play-offs, then possibly the PL... then they can recoup some of their losses, sell the Club and piss off. They are the stupidest, most disinterested assholes on the planet. -

A League One youngster, an ageing (reportedly overweight and past it) PL squad player and a Coventry benchwarmer... you're saying these are too good for Blackburn Rovers?! Hang your head in shame mate, seriously. -
