That *was* the January Window

Altho I think a different type of player is needed him being bad at Coventry doesn't make him a waste of space 12 months earlier Brighton paid £5 million for him plus he is a full international -

Not every player is going to be on board with the manager. However talk of him losing the dressing room is bull imo. How many players have signed new contracts here?A few in recent months including Sigurrdson who joined permanently would they be doing this if the majority were against the manager? -

Anel isn't out of favour at Sheffield United He is being eyed by bigger clubs and they will be making a profit if they do sell -

I will be ,cus no premier league team will come in for him in this window and the championship clubs that could afford to pay the fee in January...the parachute clubs don't need him Talk of Ipswich buying him not going to happen ,there has been no indication Ipswich are looking to spend that sort of money this month -

Well no it's similar to the other one year options we had like Dack,Graham etc etc etc ...the clause in the club's favour the club than decide if they want to activate it . We had an example with Brererton,if the club hadn't of activated the year extension in his contract,he would have left for free 12 month earlier It's normal practice , United had it with a few of there's this year, they can activate a year option in Wan Bassaka and Martial. -

Well I wasn't guessing really I was going off the other 1 year options we had with other players. As kentexile posted the Clause is in the club's favour so we can activate it if we choose too. -

He doesn't have to make any more appearances does he? As far as I was aware the year option is in the club's favour so if they choose to extend the deal they can do regardless of how many appearances he makes or what he wants -

West Brom 1-2 Rovers I think we will be nowhere near relegation come season end. We have had an awful 6 weeks but prior to that we were comfortable in the top half of the table and most season only a few points outside top 6. With Gally, Hedges ,Dolan, Pears and most importantly JRC to return , along with a couple of signings to strengthen the squad we will finish top 10. -

Yeah and the 8 assists Moran has to his name suggests he has helped us win games -

Braintwaite actually started ok for us but then that incident happened v Boro with his high boot when he nearly took Dael Fry's eye out and Warnock lost the head ,after that Braintwaite was poor I agree. And id have no problem if people were saying "he isn't ready " " he isn't what we need" etc What I find laughable is people saying with such certainty a young player won't make it and will end up in league one or two after very limited viewing -

islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Sorry but I'm not having that ,he started the season well ,Moran is clearly rated at Brighton.So because he has had a poor 6 weeks it means he will end up in league 1 or 2? This happens every season (not saying you obviously) a young loanee becomes the scapegoat. Morton last season uproar because people reckoned only reason he was playing was because we faced financial penalties yet this season he starts every week for Hull who have been in and around the playoffs Before that Braithwaite....many on here saying he was shocking and will end up in league 1 or 2, yet here we are now he starts every week in the premier league, is being tipped for an England call up and a transfer to a top club -

Batty hasn't even been on the bench Rev in months. Like someone else said , Travis and Brittain played left back when Pickering was out, Batty wasn't even on the bench. He is clearly not seen as ready to play for the first team, Iv no idea about this fella from Villa never seen him play but quite clearly JDT and the recruitment side think he is a better option than Batty at this stage. Batty might push on and be ready next season I do not know.But when he has played for the first team he has not looked up to it yet. -

So we should just play every academy youngster no matter if they are good enough or not. We give the youngsters opportunity here.I don't think there is another side in the championship (maybe Bristol City) who gives more first team opportunities to their academy players than us. -

islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not if they ain't ready or good enough sure fire way to derail a youngsters career.A couple of bad performances and he would always be "shit" by many. The club can hardly be criticised for a lack of opportunities given to our own academy players can it?They get chances here. Better option is to try find a loan for Batty in league one or more likely league two -

Yeah like I said in the last 6 weeks he has been poor along with most the side. It's his first season of senior football, I'm sure the plan wasn't for him to play as much as he has, but with no Dolan, no JRC, and no Gallagher needs must. Shall we start Markanday instead? -

Because Batty when he has had appearances for the first team has looked way off it . This Villa guy in the eyes of people at Ewood is further along than Batty.
