    Have to say I’m glad. Not my cup of tea. I like someone who scraps for things no matter how good they are.

    I like Simms (mainly for his goal record) and under past owners he'd have felt like a gem we couldn't afford to miss out on but we're scouting players in Portugal, Costa Rica and Australia, if we weren't in for him it's because we've got better options lined up.

    Do people think its possible that we may be willing to sell Clarke, and maybe reinvest that money in that lad from Chile (Avareno or similar ) that we were linked with earlier in the window. Believe he is a right footed left winger too. Can't remember his name, and haven't heard him discussed in ages. Apparently there were quite a few teams interested .... just a thought

    I would be happy if we got him as a replacement.

    Thats the one. I liked the look of him, and I believe his cost was going to be about 5m. Couldn't see him coming, if it was as back up, but as first choice he may do. Probably less sell on fee when we sell him for a profit in the future, than a Levy percentage for Clarke.

    Strangest feeling this window I think I’d be disappointed to see any of this squad go, such a likeable and talented bunch but we have to be fair to the likes of matete if we can’t offer him game time

    My worry about this transfer window is that we lose a few of our key players and we start the next season with an untried and exceptionally inexperienced group. That said, I do trust the recruitment team, they have a knack of picking the odd gem. Just hope we don't lose too many, but I fear 3 will leave

    Blackburn are keen on taking on veteran centre half Danny Batth from Sunderland. (Alan Nixon)

    That's nice. I'm keen on having a threesome with Margot Robbie and Emily Ratajkowski.

    I think we should be given him a chance to prove his fitness over preseason as he does look a talent then we can decide at end of the window whether to keep or not

    Yeah im the same mate, which is a sign of what all these players have done for the club

    I just think theres a few players not good enough or consistent enough to help us kick on

    Why would we need to match a transfer fee for our player?

    Batth going seems like have legs, would you be happy with those we’ve brought in given how injury prone Ballard and alese have been or should we be looking to get another older head in should he go?
