Very skint! What's the U21 player called? We'll send an Uber (finances allowing).

It's actually a genuine target-man No.9 we need most, but we'd also have liked to see Khadra return. Unfortunately we have no cash. He doesn't seem to be getting much of a chance in France.

Occasional Blackburn Rovers visitor here. After JPvH became a firm favourite at Ewood, Andy Moran is well on the way to following him. He is one of those players who reads the game very well, and often seems to turn up in the right place. He's not showy, but he makes very few mistakes. Any more...

Occasional visitor from Blackburn Rovers here. In the last few weeks, some of our supporters have been suggesting that a "frustrated" JPvH might consider a return to Ewood. If they watched your game today, they will have come down to Earth with a very big bump! Congratulations on your season...

The National Party leader, Luxon, has to be very carefully monitored, because - when unrestrained - he has demonstrated, several times, that he does not know his own party's policies. He was selected because he is a mate of John Key, and because lots of New Zealanders still believe that a...

It seems to be less likely, now, that Ben Brereton Diaz will be leaving us in this window. If he did, we'd be up the proverbial creek in terms of scoring (despite the fact he's not on top form at the moment). In that scenario, I'd come and pick Undav up myself, and it's a long drive from Auckland!

Thanks for that, BT. Of course, we have no idea if there is the slightest validity in the story!

Regular visitor from Blackburn Rovers here. We seem to get linked with your players on a monthly basis now! The latest rumour is Undav on loan. Is there likely to be any truth in it, and - if so - how well do you think he'd do in the Championship? (Incidentally, if it's true that he's on £20,000...

It's me again - from Blackburn. I look at your board occasionally because of recent connections. I notice that Locadia is usually mentioned with a hint of sarcasm. On one "gossip" site, I saw that he is a free agent, and that there had been a link with Rovers. How do you think he would do as a...

Blackburn Rovers supporter here. I haven't visited for a while, but congratulations on your league-position, and on Tuesday's impressive performance, in particular. Because we are in a "window", Rovers-fans are inevitably talking about JP van Hecke again. Do you think there is the remotest...

"Cripple and the Starfish" - Antony and the Johnsons.

Funnily enough, we probably could do with both of them! Daniel Ayala is excellent at our level, but it's fingers-crossed every time he plays, because of his injury record - and we've just lost two promising young CBs to serious injuries as well.

Thanks for all the replies. If van Hecke can't even get into your squad, it does underline again the massive (and growing) gap between the PL and the Championship.

I think we can manage that in old Italian Lira!

Thanks. I think Duffy is out of our price-range, and I'm not sure that all Rovers fans would be comfortable with him returning, anyway. Daft in my view, but some people do hold grudges!
