Why would the fee be a problem IF Bowyer really wanted him? It's not as if Blackburn are one of the moneybags clubs1 -
The trouble is, clubs know we have money and with less than 2 weeks to go, know we are beginning to panic. Prices will go up and players will ask for larger wages. If MS is keeping the wage structure he wants then it is either loans or lesser players than we thought we were going to get1

Equally agents, clubs and players know if they don't make a deal now that's it for five months.ross1 said:The trouble is, clubs know we have money and with less than 2 weeks to go, know we are beginning to panic.

Both sides will be waiting for the other side to blink.

I do think we need a marquee signing, the sort of player who would encourage other players to join us because they think we're a club going places, as without that hope why join a struggling side UNLESS they pay well...

Amazing how much money these League One clubs want for their players, when you consider how much we let ours go for ....21

I think Murray for Taylor may have been worth it if Brighton were prepared to pay up Glenn's wages for the rest of the season, so we could make him an offer for next season.
I wouldn’t begrudge Lyle the chance to play in the Prem and in return we would have got a proven striker for the rest of the season.2 -
Because so far we haven't actually spent a penny on players. Skimped out on wages, wouldn't meet the valuation of a player our management team wanted. All we have done is trigger a release clause, PR stunt? Don't mean we paid anythingkillerandflash said:Braziliance said:I know it was a while ago we heard that link but we can forget about the Ronan Curtis link

I'm being negative anyway so I'll take a break from posting about the situation. I'll just post links I see and keep my thoughts till February the 1st0 -
I guess if we had Leko and Field still then that third player rule might apply - Seeing we've now only got one of them I cant see it being an issueRichard J said:Can we loan a third player from WBA?
I think there is a limit between teams during the season. Not sure if it is two or three.1 -

It surprises me how many posters are so confident that we've got real money now.
There is sod all evidence of that right now. The bid for Maddison was a possible indication but if we can't then match his wage demands the existence of funds is unproven. Ditto the reference to "£15m earmarked for investment in the training ground".
So far, we don't know how much they paid Duchatelet. But they haven't bought the land the Valley is on, they haven't bought Sparrows lane, they haven't agreed new contracts with Bowyer or any key players (especially Lyle), they haven't landed any transfer targets but rather have lost out to both Championship and L1 competitors.
I'm not saying they don't have funds but I think it's wishful thinking to assume they have. The truth will become clearer in the next six months.32 -

Given that we are now not going for the play offs strengthening us could help against teams at the top.0 -
We've still got to play the likes of Leeds, Fulham and Brentford. West Brom should loan us Charlie Austin!Richard J said:

My thoughts exactly. I have no doubt that in the medium term it will be OK. For the sake of a few dozen million HE, or his boss, will make sure it is because they wouldn't want the public humiliation.Davo55 said:It surprises me how many posters are so confident that we've got real money now.

I said on day one, either Bowyer or MS, possibly both, won't be here in 18 months.
Nothing has changed in the mean time to make me change my mind.0 -

Can’t see us saying no to spending less than 1m on Gnanduillet and then spending 2m on Clarke-Harris. But you never know I suppose.2

Excellent well written article, which leads me to believe on balance it is probably accurate.Scoham said:
It's pretty much how I see things, but I have to say with so many negative comments on here, you question whether the doomsayers are correct.
So is this a good article or are ESI the same as RD, have little money to spend and Lee Bowyer will be walking out Thursday ?7 -
It’s a good article, Roland is and always be a complete sociopath, it’s not just about money, Lee is staying.Covered End said:

Fantastic article, and has put into words in a far more succient way, what I have been trying to say since ESI have taken over.Scoham said:

Clarke-Harris would be a very decent signing. Anyone turning their nose up seriously needs to wake up.
What/who do you expect us to sign sitting 19th in championship?!

A couple of zeros get added on. Better start the bidding at £5,000 then....2

We need five or six wins too stay up.0

From what I have seen of him, I have wondered why he is still at Rovers. I definitely saw a player who has the qualities to step up.0
