Bris Vegas Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Permanent, I understand. Blackburn want to sell and are looking to rebuild. Jordan Rhodes is available at £10m, not bad for a 25-year-old who guarantees 20 goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Palace fans are SCREAMING out for a striker, I follow a few accounts and they're beyond annoyed at their lack of activity, wouldn't be surprised if they dobbed in for Rhodes, especially if Blackburn are interested in Campbell or Gayle going the other way.

CornwallRam Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 OK, so we need cover for Warnock. We could probably also do with a left back who can push forward more than Warnock. We could ideally do with an experienced player who could slot straight into the side. It would be even better if we could get the player cheaply, so someone entering the last part of their contract would certainly be of interest. This transfer makes so much sense...there's no way it'll happen. It's just not the Derby County way. We're more likely to buy another striker to play on the wing.

Kernow Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I do hope this is true. Warnock has done very well and I wouldn't immediately drop him but we're weak here and Olsson gives us more depth. I like the look of Max Lowe, but I wouldn't risk him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Was published an hour or so ago http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/01/21/derby-county-are-set-to-seal-deal-for-marcus-olsson/ Blackburn Rovers defender Marcus Olsson is set for a move to Derby County, HITC Sport understands. The 27-year-old is out-of-contract at the end of the season and has turned an offer of a new deal to remain at Ewood Park. Now, rather than lose him for nothing in the summer, Blackburn have accepted an offer from promotion hopefuls Derby as they look to bolster their squad for the final run-in. Olsson, who was Blackburn's Player of the Year last season, followed his twin Martin to the club in 2012, joining from Halmstads in Sweden. He has gone onto make over 100 appearances for the Lancashire outfit playing mainly in defence but also in midfield. Now he is in talks with Derby and looks set to seal a move to the iPro Stadium in the coming days. After splashing out for the likes of Abdoul Camara and Nick Blackman earlier this month, Derby had suggested they would not bring in any more new faces - but clearly Paul Clement feels additional new faces are required.

BBG83 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Good signing. Its the only position we're not fully covered for, so makes sense. But, its another in. We need to let some players go even if its on loan. The size of our squad is getting seriously big. In fact, I don't like the way we're going at all with signing after signing. I was pleased to hear we'd done our business early in this transfer window. But I knew it wouldn't be the case. This signing makes sense, Blackman doesn't. I'm not sure Camara does either. I hate to think that we're panicking but that's what it looks like. Bryson is the player who will make a huge difference, and we already have him. A team will get us promoted. We can't even pick an A team at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 He's a good player, it would be a good signing. Great replacement for Forsyth who, despite Warnock's fantastic ability defensively, has changed the team dynamic with his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Paul Wheelock @PaulWheelock 2m2 minutes ago Understand there is not a #DCFC bid for Markus Olsson. They have had, and may still have, an interest in the #rovers left-back. But no bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ive been screaming out for a winger with pace, who gets to the byline and gets balls in the box. Because Russell, Weimann and Ince do not do that. Russell and Weimann in particular. Harsh to say Blackman doesnt make sense. He has played in 2 of our worst performances of the season and in the game he playex up top, he got no service whatsoever.

Our local press are not gonna come out and say its done before the club announce it. Camara signed before noon and was announced 8 hours later.

I'm not saying Blackman isn't going to be good enough, but he's a risk at that price and I don't think he was really needed. We have Bent and Weimann and Ince. I agree re. Pace going forward though. We've been seriously lacking pace all season and that's part of the Martin problem - nobody getting up to support him/pick up his lay offs. But, again, Camara isn't necessarily needed. Russell, Ince, Weimann all have pace but all are guilty of choosing the wrong option all the time. Russell in particular this season - he rarely goes past anyone like he once did. Ince too predictable and Weimann a bit headless. But surely that's where they need coaching? Rather than we buy another option. We know what we have is more than capable. That said, maybe they can't be coached to do what we want and then the only solution is replace them? I just don't thinking spend, spend, spend suits the club or the fans.

Pickering spent shed loads at first and also didn't get instant results. So not sure that spending money is a bad thing for this club... But like a lot of fans we don't have much patience.

So not sure that spending money is a bad thing for this club... But like a lot of fans we don't have much patience. But the past two seasons we've been so close, so really were potentially taking a step backwards. Surely the team needed tweaking and we needed a manager with a plan b. Not wholesale changes and the risk of upsetting the apple cart?. I'm sure I'm wrong on this but it's got to stop soon. Buying promotion isn't for me (I preferred Chelsea pre 2004), as a football fan, but I understand footballs a business now and the money is obviously in the Prem.
