Given Blackburn have no money for a fee & given Baker got an improved contract here hard to see Baker taking a paycut to Blackburn Didn't they sell that Wharton guy for big money to Palace?

Still think they will have enough in the pot to buy Baker and Johnson off us. They were both got on free transfers so won’t need much of a fee to constitute a profit on them both it will just be wages they will struggle on abit

AN sorting his fucking mates out. There's that fella with a picture of Shaq posts on here reckons he works there.

Yes but reported, on this thread, they cant afford a fee now if that's correct they must have been in a right hole for £20m not to allow them to spend now

I was just reading abit about them money wise was that the Indian government wouldn’t allow the venkeys to transfer money from a subsidiary. But they got £11m transferred in November to pay wages and infrastructure bills

Not seen him on here for a bit. He was on a lot when we signed Ennis slagging him off.

Just had a little check back and Baker features heavily in the games where we were playing horrible risk adverse football (to me anyway) after dropping into the bottom 3 until Plymouth H but hardly featured at all in our impressive run in playing something like the sort of football we might have expected from a Schumacher team. Coincidence? Or was he one of the ones resisting the HC’s style of football? He was carrying an injury wasn't he for sometime?

It's only speculation, I'd love to know who the players were who spoke out against Schu's style of football. Hope he's fucking them off because they'll always want to revert to safety first. Schu's style is high risk, high reward football. I'd sooner they adapt to him than him them.

Blackburn have no money. Venkys are under investigation in India over their finances at the high court there and any money from selling players is being absorbed into their debts. They’ve literally asset stripped the club. Jack Walker will be spinning in his grave. His family sold the club down the Swannee to get rid of it. Such a sad situation as they were a very well run club when Jack owned it.

Connor o riordan is bound be one isn’t he? Young centre half highly rated at Crewe and will be known by our coaching team, weren’t we looking at him before he went Blackburn?🔴⚪️ Yes I think that we were in for him before he went to Blackburn, he's a Stokie as well

Steve Kean. He stabbed Big Sam in the back to get the job. I grew up in East Lancs and followed Blackburn. Saw them win the PL and bounce back from relegation under Souness. Lived in North Staffs since 2002 and still follow their league scores and info from family.

What's the general view on Baker potentially being swapped for Gallagher?
I'm surprised that he's still really rated by some. If he was being valued at around 7-figures in any swap, surely we're in bite-your-hands-off territory.

If he was being valued at around 7-figures in any swap, surely we're in bite-your-hands-off territory. With how SS wants to set up a midfield, I’d be fine with him leaving. I think his best work is taking pot shots from lay offs outside the box. It doesn’t look like we want to do that, so we probably won’t get the most out of him. He has one main skill and is average elsewhere. If you don’t use that skill, what’s the point?

Seemed to become a bit of a fan favourite but has never got back to that level. Can be a useful player but if he can bring in some money or be used in some player swap for a more reliable player then I’m all for it.

Both players are worth about 500k for me so a swap wouldn’t be bad as long as we weren’t giving them money. Baker is better.

Baker's head hasn't been in it for a while now. Good player but does he really want to be here?

He just doesn’t appear capable of settling anywhere for a prolonged period of time for some reason.

He does get in good scoring positions though. I think he’s a confidence player. The game at home to brum he got brought off when he was one of the better players. Not sure he’s had a fair crack under Schumacher

Blackburn have turned down £800k for him Therefore he's worth more than that £500k gets you an Ennis
