    I thought that clubs were duty bound to stand by a player whilst injured if it happened whilst under contract....ie. Shouldn't Blackburn be footing the bill so to speak.....

    If he regains fitness I'd be happy to see him sign.............but only if we pay someone millions..<laugh>...

    Luke Varney "a big hit"? I thought he was average, at best, and I didn't rate him highly. Yeah, I guess we need wingers and some support in attacking areas, but I think we can do a lot better. Nonetheless, it's another risk-free move. I hope we'll be getting a right-back/midfielder soon.

    To be fair Reg was improving with every match last season so if he can get fit and stay fit after that horrendous injury I think he will be a useful acquisition, but I agree with Nuggets that right back is the crucial position for us to fill for next season.

    I thought that was a pretty fair assessment!

    You obviously weren't at Watford when he was our best player by a country mile.

    He had a couple of good games, sure, but I would not consider him a consistent or a particularly effective player for us. Good luck to him though.

    I was at the Watford game,and while he played well enough,he is one of a considerable number of players who've turned out for us in recent Seasons who just aren't good enough to get us back into the Prem.Sorry but that's my honest opinion of him.

    I thought he looked promising, almost like Jon Walters was on the wings and in the final parts of the season looked lively, however unsung hero? Not sure he played enough to be considered that!!!

    I saw an old episode of “On the Buses” the other day. A ten minute scene where Reg Varney is told by a female bus trainee that she doesn’t like men with dirty fingernails then Reg spends forever pulling faces trying to light her cigarette (petrol pumps an’ all) without revealing his fingernails.

    Painful stuff! It wouldn’t pass muster these days, I’ll tell yer that.

    I didn’t see much of Luke what with one thing and another, but if he’s coming back here I hope he’s aged better than Reg.

    If Varney is among your better players you are in for a long hard season of mediocrity....
    A good league one player at best!
