[Dirty Dave]

Naylor says its "edging closer". same words as his Lancashire Telegraph colleague from last night.

Presumably a deal cant be done in time for tomorrow? I'm sure it used to be a 12 noon Friday deadline for the player to be available for Saturday

1 st choice defence if Duffy signs could be(?): Goldson Dunk Duffy Bruno

shirley Goldson can't be kept out, stick him at LB?

Is he? I thought he's already served a 1 match ban for the red card as he played and scored on Tuesday

Are you a second account for BG?!

No, he played on Tuesday in the league cup

It's amusing that he can't claim Ulloa cos we'd been tracking him for ages, and he can't have Kayal either despite arriving a couple of weeks after he left.

I doubt CH turned up and suggested Kayal so we went and signed him.

You doubt wrong.

Hughton had tried to sign Kayal before ( when he was at Norwich I think ).

 

[Gazwag]

Duffy is a bit of a gamble. Rohan Ince is the more experienced player, who has played more games at Championship level.

Clearly you were not at Oxford on Tuesday night

didn't see that so great news just need to get it done by midday then

He missed Rovers 2-2 draw on Saturday v Burton.
It was only a 1 game ban (2 yellow cards).

Maybe the left back position should just be renamed "the BG position"?

 

[Blatter]

Do we really want to be spending £4.5M on someone who's turning in performances such as this?

Indeed. That is one if those posts where you initially think WTF...and then you notice who wrote it.

One bad game !!!

Assume you want rid of Dunk then ? As he has had some nightmares before

 

[Seaber]

Bruno - Duffy - Dunk - Bong

Have we ever had a defence with better names? Has anyone?

 

[est.83]

I do not believe the £4,5M part of the story. If anything his value should have dropped in recent weeks with his performances, with him wanting out, with fans wanting him out - don't think Blackburn is in good spot to negotiate better deal.

Plus, I cannot see Brighton crushing their record thansfer fee on defender, Duffy. They are not that desperate (unless Uwe is a no-go for Newcastle that is).

 

[Stat Brother]

Do think we need a fourth CB but £4.5m! Would rather we spent it on a striker.

Alternatively 4 top flight centre backs for a total outlay of less than £8m can't be knocked.

They aren't desperate.
They're looking to strengthen their squad and have been signalling this all summer.
He's clearly been their #1 target
It won't be £4.5m unless all the add ons are met (ie: we get promoted etc)

 

[durrington gull]

I have to say that I'm disappointed that we are spending 4m on a CB when we have Hune , Goldy, Dunk, plus White and Bruno who can all play in that position,we should be giving our development team a chance if needed not blowing 4m
