January Transfer window 2022

If we didnt have Brererton we wouldnt be in 4th spot now.If we sell in January and money is given for a striker it will be most likely be a development signing again. Iv defended the owners in terms of money spent on the playing squad in the mowbray reign and i know that they havent wanted to sell players in the past so i dont think he will be sold but if he is for £20 million then i dont think there is any defending of them and promotion is not a top priority From the outside looking in and looking at Brerertons demeanour and some of the things he has said he looks to be really enjoying his football so i dont believe he is knocking on the managers door asking to leave. He will still get 15 in the summer -

We should not be accepting offers of £20 million for Brererton in January with the table and our performances looking as healthy as they are. I personally dont think we will sell in January but if they do sell him for £20 million this season then the owners will deserve every bit of abuse they get. -

Even if the interest is genuine we shouldnt be selling for 20 million in the January window if we are still in with a shout for promotion.Likely to get at least 15 for him in the summer anyway. -

Be stupid selling for £20 million in january if we are still sitting pretty in a play off place. With another year left on his deal we are likely to get bids of 15 million in the summer anyway so it is worth the risk of losing out on 5 million if we dont get promoted. And if Sevilla do come in in the january window we say "Sorry Ben you are under contract and we have a chance of promotion, we will look at things again in the summer" Plus Sevilla have had a link via Nixon, they could be looking at him but are they going to nearly match or better their transfer record to sign a player from the Championship? -
Did Nyambe and Rothwell get pay rises when their year options kicked in?Nothing to suggest they did, and if i am not mistaken we didnt activate the year in those contracts until last season had finished.

2 million transfer fee but how much is he on a week? It was never going to be realistic to sign him permanently unless we had got promoted -

Dont remember any press speculation at that time, i remember JB saying it on here that he heard Dack to West Brom was a done deal.Both Moore and Jones who initiated the interest in Dack in the first place had moved on from West Brom at that point -

That bid that Jones speaks of was the previous January,a year before Dack got injured.We turned the bid down -

The club have a longer deal on the table for him. It really doesnt matter they havent triggered his deal yet, the one year extension exists and he wont be leaving on a free this summer -

Great save by Pears towards the end. Rothwell and Buckley class above. Well done Mowbray -

Ha my superior knowledge?What about yourself? I mention he has 7 or 8 goal involvements.You dismiss it.I then say he has 3 assists and you say that isnt great for an attacking midfielder in a free scoring side.I then mention 3 assists is joint second for the team this season and you start banging on that he would have started more games than the others. I mention he has played multiple positions this season.You dismiss that also and compare him with Gallagher and Dolan who play as part of a front 3 when selected. He has playing well this season.I am not the only one saying it.If there was to be a poll on here wether Buckley should be starting or not my money would be on a higher percentage saying he should be playing. The assist the other night was a fantastic ball, not disputing it was a great header but Buckley put it into a lovely area but again you play it down. Rothwell is currently a better player but he was in and out of the Oxford side at Buckleys age and i dont care if i sound arrogant or not imo Buckley will be a premier league footballer and there isnt one bit of doubt in my mind he should be starting the majority of games for us Oh and of course i would listen to Dacks opinion etc,i never said i used it to form my own.Dack will have seen him a lot more than you are i so i would be "arrogant" not to at least consider his opinion.I remember reading an article not too long ago from Mick Rathbone, he was working for Forest and said Brererton had the potential to be a £30 million pound player and Warburton said he had it in his locker to reach the top, yet some on here where saying he would be playing in the lower leagues....which is the more accurate statement now? Buckley is a young player, im not disputing he has had shit games but so have many others, he has something in his locker that not many at this level have and with gametime and more experience we will see more of it -
Plus we had mowbray saying last summer he didnt want to talk about contract extensions with the pandemic yet he still brought in 12 players that summer through loans ,free transfers and permanents.That 2k a week we spent on trybull could have been added to Nyambes package. The overall fault lays at the owners door but Mowbray and Waggott are definitely complicit in the situation we find ourselves in

More game time shifted all over the place,Dolan and Gallagher play in the front 3. Yesterday you play down his goal involvments yet without him on the field those goals may not have happened.He has won the ball back countless times for us.And the stats will show he is worth his place in the team. We will agree to disagree but lads who see him everyday(including Dack) talk about how much talent he has not my problem you cant see it -

islander200 replied to Gone to seed's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He has played rb, right wing back, as part of a 3 in midfield,behind the striker and false 9 so yes you may be correct he has played a lot but not always as an attacking midfielder -

islander200 replied to Gone to seed's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Buckley is joint 2nd with with Dolan and Gallagher with 3 assists with only Rothwell doing better with 6. We will just have to agree to disagree but imo Buckley has a big future will only get better with more game time like Brererton -
If my posts appear that i am saying no blame is attached to the owners then i apologise for coming across wrong as of course i do think it is the overall responsibility of the owners to ensure we dont get put in a situation like this. From various reports it would seem our highest earners are on 17/18 grand a week.If Rothwell and Lenihen are looking for that or over it, id argue they aint worth that certainly in the case of Rothwell prior to this season and although i think we are a stronger side with Lenihen in the team , i do not think he has pushed on and as an individual i think better could be found on the market . Other teams with similar income in this division wont be paying their players 20+ a week.

I wouldnt sell them either but if say Rothwell agreed with Rangers in January that he would sign on a free transfer when his contract is up do we think he would be giving 100% the last few months of his deal here or would we be listening to the manager telling us Lenihen, Nyambe and Rothwell have been left out due to their heads not being right? Like you say we are likely to recieve peanuts if we do cash in on those 3 in January, but keeping them we aint guaranteed they will be busting a gut for us either
