As the January transfer window looms large, the rumour mill is starting to get into full flow with two players linked with moves to Blackburn Rovers.

Manchester City youngster Nedum Onuoha, who has the ability to play in several defensive positions, is believed to be being lined up.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands Rovers boss Ince has had youngster Onuoha watched, with Manchester City reported to be willing to let him go in January for £3million.

Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez, from Udinese, is another being linked with a move to Ewood Park.

Meanwhile a string of triallists are expected to arrive at Rovers in the next couple of weeks as Ince continues his search to unearth another ‘bargain’.

exactly what i was going to say marcus, though I didn't know the figure. Relying on ince picking a couple of bargains up, and possibly letting 2/3 go to bring in a 'winger' that can get straight into the team, I'd say

dont the city guys make you laff. you can have the best forward line in the world but if your defence leaks goals like a sieve then your on a hiding to nothing. mr hughes needs to concentrate on getting his back 4 sorted because if he doesnt he'l be looking for a new club next season, and any hope of ever managing a truely 'big club' will have gone forever.
as for us having money to spend, if we find ourselves in a dog fight or pressing for a european place then there could be money if we are in no mans land then im afraid the purse strings may be tightened again.

Keep the faith

I am afriad that Hughesy is not going to get to spend City's money. They will be looking for a big name nmanager to get their misfits playing like a team.

It's a shame for Hughesy but it's a lesson learned for him - the grass is not always greener......

He will offload players in jan, he will also do the same in the summer but all managers do this as he will eventually want his own players in and that is when any manager can truely be judged. At moment he mainly has Hughes team, and though he will keep the backbone of that he will want to add, but he doesnt have to sell to bring a couple players, but saying that he wont people that arent in his plans to use up wages.

Yeah, we're in 13th place, but we aren't backed by billionaire arabs (or Thai human rights abusers). Neither does our manager make absurd claims about winning the league.

City will never challenge United in your lifetime I'm afraid!

As for Santa Cruz, I hope he takes a look at what has historically happened to players when they leave us - they hardly go from strength to strength do they? As a general rule, their careers stagnate!

Dt, Robinho will be off at the end of the season. Because you blatantly won't make the champions league!

Hughes will probably be at Newcastle in the new year (then commentating on City's UEFA cup exploits for Channel 5 next season)!

Well we'll see where you are and where we are in a season or so when the money has been used for more sensible strengthening signings. We made one major signing in a small time frame and you expect that to put city in the top 5. The fact is that as each transfer window opens the wallet will come out for fun. And if Benny McCarthy starts eating pies again you can always borrow one of our camels....for a price of course. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

DT just remind me when you last beat us?Your only above us on goal difference and at least we've lost to good teams - dont remember boro or bolton beaing european contenders!!!Dont think Rocky would want to swap a steady mid table or higher team for one which changes manager and owners most seasons!!!

It seems that Onuoha is supposedly the bait offered by Hughes to buy Warnock of us in January.

I'd rather we kept Warnock!
