It is refreshing not to have to worry about this. I am confident our management team will be all over this and have several scenarios mapped out already. The club is in good hands at last and we can relax in the knowledge PC will improve the team come what may in January. We are in a good place.

Markanday is a loan player whose future is out of our hands.

Berry is a promising talent but yet to perform consistently.

Colclough has featured sparsely over the last year or more through injuries

And most of all Paul Cook has repeatedly and consistently improved the squad with pretty much every signing.

You really should let this petty little sniping campaign go. I'd say you were humiliating yourself, but everyone knows that was established a long, long time ago ..

So transparent, isn't it? Anyone else you'd be forgiven they're genuinely concerned, but with him you just know he wants this to happen and for us to struggle. Even if you don't know his history, the wording gives it away. "The loss of these 3 will be devastating" as if we are, without doubt, going to lose all 3 players when in reality we may end up with all 3 still playing for us come the end of the transfer window.

If that scenario happens, then it could be devastating... but it won't be, because we have a manager complete with a #BloatedBackroomStaff who will plan for all eventualities and who will have a plethora of attacking mids on their shortlist ready to pounce should it be required.

What people are tending to forget are their ages. If OOC both clubs will be due a development fee. While the development fee for Markandy will not come close to what Blackburn paid for him, neither will the transfer fee.

As for Berry, we have taken him from the 7^th tier to alleged intrest from from tier 2. The development fee for Berry would be very close to, if not excede what we paid Macc, so should he go before his contract expires or stays, we will not be out of pocket.

Berry is already 23, so he has had his last season, 23-24, where a development fee could be due. (Due in the season of the 23rd birthday).
I?m sure Macc will have negotiated a decent percentage sell on fee due to them in any event.

He 'hopes' we are planning for all eventualities though

I actually didn't realise he was that old. Thought he was about 21

Exactly, ones not ours, ones an impact sub and the others always injured

I reckon we could go with

Dobs
Madden
LM

Behind Grigg

with Banks and Jacob?s to bring on

Drummond will need to be recalled

[JonB]

Also the fact that if anyone leaves its a very good chance others will be brought in. Its not a case that they leave and we have to make do with what we have for the rest of the season. We've enough depth to cover it short term with replacements to come in.

The fact we didnt seem to mind Drummond and Hobson playing in the FA Cup suggests they might stay out on loan longer term so wont be brought back unless we really need to.

Berry ro Blackburn with Dylans loan extended through next season was rumoured before other interested parties were rumoured

In Cook and the Kirks we trust.

But you said the loss of an "impact sub" and someone "always injured" will be - definitive - devastating!?!

Also remembering the sale of Cooper funded the arrival of Clucas during Cook's first stint.

You're embarrassing yourself, but hey - what's new...

Thought someone said DM is out of contract end of season - thus can't be extended.
Even if what you suggested happens, at the end of his loan, Blackburn end up with Berry and Markanday - which would suck

Yes, I think you're right,I can't see either coming back till the end of the season.

Rumours are just that, I post snippets I hear good ones bad ones laughable ones!

January transfer window will only make us stronger you would hope?

We will be ok come what may.
The doomsters will be forecasting gloom.
Shame but hey ho

After the tripe served up by Allen & Carson, it's hard to comprehend what doom and gloom actually is in our current position.

Well there's always a couple with an agenda
I for one believe we are in a better place than we have been for years.
Long may we prosper.

I was quoting you, you were downplaying the three players, what a dunce

DM rumours of a recall in January strengthened by the FA Cup omission

RC maybe off for other reasons


Hopefully we are planning for all eventualities

Did you make a mistake and really meant to say "would be devastating" rather than "will be devastating"?

I thought being a supporter was about erm, supporting your club, and wanting what's best for it going forward. I must be getting it all wrong, probably down to my age and watching my fair share of garbage from the early 60s onwards. We've had some great times with some excellent managers and we're riding a rich a vein at the moment. We're watching exciting stuff on the pitch and we're secure off it. Speculation is great, and what the forum's about, but doom and gloom isn't my way, so I'm 100% on the same page as you.

DM looks certain to go, Berry will have suitors and bids will be incoming
