Rejected an offer from us apparently

http://www.teamtalk.com/news/blackburn-reject-derbys-offer-for-olsson

Blackburn Rovers have rejected a bid from Derby County to sign defender Marcus Olsson, sources have told TEAMtalk.com.

Derby are in the market for a new left-back after seeing Craig Forsyth ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Derby had identified Sweden international Olsson as their top target and hoped to sign him on loan with a view to a permanent deal when the transfer window reopens in January.

However, Blackburn rejected their approach with new Rovers boss Paul Lambert keen to keep hold of his players with the club still working under a transfer embargo.

Olsson, who joined Blackburn in January 2012, has made over 100 appearances for the club and was named Rovers’ player of the year last season.

The 27-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has yet to open talks over a new deal and it remains be seen if Derby will come back in for Olsson knowing they might be able to land him for a bargain fee if Blackburn fail to tie him down to a longer contract.

Whatever they can offer we can match and then some. We must also be a very attractive proposition for someone like Olsson. What was his quote something like 'It depends what the club say and while I'm under contract I have to listen'  Doesn't sound like someone who is keen to stay and isn't interested in other options to me. Sounds like a Steve McLaren!

You can bet your bottom dollar we will have sounded out his agent and after a bit of face saving public huffing and puffing from Blackburn - and behind the scenes negotiation -  he will be here before long

Paul Clement was adamant on Radio Derby today that we are not in the market for Olsson this loan window, that he is happy with the squad we have and that we won't be bringing anyone else in.

So that's that then.

Olsson and Antono to sign in 5....4....3....

According to a paper, according to a twitterer, it was 250k and was rejected. If true, just sounds like a bit of a probe lol

Out of contract in summer, presumably high wages. Surely wouldn't take a fortune.

You arent going to land a decent player even if contract is running down for 250k. Would be a v good digning tho. Would encourage to up to 750k.

Digning out can be expensive but we got a very good deal at Bella Italiano off Groupon last week, raladdong.

Didn't match our £399 each for eleven days on Mediterranean fly cruise, all inclusive on MSC Fantasia booked through Iglu four weeks before departure.though. Unbelievable value. Highly recommended!
